Effect size estimates were combined using meta-analytic procedures. As expected, the short-term effects of violent media were greater for adults than for children whereas the long-term effects were greater for children than for adults.

Oh definitely, look at how violent people were in the 1500s thanks to video games.

violent video games only bring out the violent tendences of already violent minded people more effectively than any other medium

No.

Being violent isn't exactly a disease. You either are violent or you're not, and people have been violent for a very very long time.

>>322225060

Anyone who thinks so should kill himself. This doesn't even cover how social medias like YouTube and others exposes violent video games to a greater audience.

You realize the kids who played violent video games as kids grew up, right?

The videogame alone not but the impossibility to finish them, Yes.
