You've clearly not read your own link or my response well because it doesn't say anything conclusive one way or another, it's just an overview of the studies that have been taken place as well as a review of the media's interpretation but it draws no conclusions of it's own. If you're going to link something, make sure to actually read it first.

Again, nothing you have linked overrides the fact that decades of research has turned up no link between violence in video games and violence in real life. You cannot watch or play something and become violent if you aren't already a violent person. Fictional media cannot inspire a desire to harm and kill in the mind of someone who wasn't already that way inclined, you're essentially blaming triggers (which literally can be anything) instead of looking at the big picture.
