So, therefore my question to you became, do you not feel there is sufficient evidence to the contrary in regards to violence in games/movies and their effect on people?

If not, fair enough.

Yup, that's the point I'm making. I wasn't calling Kizzy an anti-vaxxer, I just wanted to make a point that it's a similar argument that they use, that they value their gut feelings over facts and evidence to the contrary. As I said before, Parm also used a classic anti-vaxxer argument in that he believes experts, studies and anything that goes against his own beliefs is inherently corrupt which is a very common accusation levied at doctors by anti-vaxxers.

At the end of the day, reality and the facts do not support the belief that video games or violent films can turn someone who isn't violent, violent.
