They don't cause violence.  According to Anita Sarkeesian they cause misogyny because they brainwash you with things called "tropes".

edit: youth violence is dropping precipitiously despite the rise in popularity in violent videogames like Call of Duty and Grand Theft Auto.  Playing games can make you more aggressive but they don't cause people to go commit a violent act.  There's plenty of information on the web, googling isn't hard.

Yeah, but she's a fuckin moron, given the volume of men who die in the games she 'covers', you could just as easily say they cause misandry.

I know, I was being facetious
