"Of course not, that's dumb." -Arjahn, 2014
No but in all seriousness, the assumption that videogames cause violence in kids is just a bunch of scaremongering bullsh*t based in misconceptions and absurdly broad generalizations designed to appeal to overly sensitive parents who have minimal knowledge of the subject. Videogames are just the new boogeyman for easily swayed people to point at as a cause of mental health issues and violent crimes.
There's a good episode of Penn and Teller about it, I'll link it below.
WARNING, EXPLICIT AS FUCK
