I think video games are one of the many things to blame for the obsession some children have with weapons and guns. If you are 9 years old and all you want for your birthday is a Fortnite assault rifle, I think that’s kind of perpetuating violence and gun-obsession in our society.

I think that’s correlation, not causation. I loved toy guns when I was kid (80s), violent action films, and became a casual gamer in my adulthood. I greatly enjoy shooting people with bazookas at point blank range. I also hate real guns and am a pacifist. And my ex-girlfriend was a sweet, caring, animal loving, vegan angel of a person who would decompress by “shooting Purples” in drive by shootings in Grand Theft Auto.

Do video games cause violence. Yes. Do all video games/gamers caus violence? No. It depends on who you are. Many people can get influenced by them without even knowing same thing for shows, books, and people around us. It influences us bc we've been exposed. Ofc there's a good side to games but there also comes the negative one too.

Ghostly Snail, I have a counter to your argument. Everything can do that to a 9 year old. Watching a show could do that. Reading a book could do that. People used to blame music, plays, and the like. Your argument doesn't make sence, but your opinion is your opinion

No, but I think it helps to desensitise people to violence, say, in the news, which could be argued to be its own issue

depends on the game. minecraft is very fun and relaxing for me and actually calms me right down in creative mode lok but whenever my brother plays geometry dash he has HUGE rage fits and gets SO angry. idk if this is the kind of violence you mean but 🤷♀️
