We've been in the age of junk science for... decades.

Studies are conducted by people, people need funding for studies, people have ideologies.

People are parents who buy games for their children that they shouldn't be playing. People blame the games.

I can attest that I used to rage pretty hard when I was younger. I was just a kid playing games people bought me. I have a son. He's getting a switch.

I think most of us on this forum were exposed or had access to violent games, movies, etc. If you're in your early 20s or younger, you likely had access to violent media on the web your entire life without your parents really knowing.

I mean even if people don't buy mature games for your kids, what's stopping kids from watching a GTAV videos on YouTube? Not much, unless you're a helicopter parent which probably damages kids in other ways.

I'll end on this. My mom never bought me porn. But it never stopped me from finding stuff for jerking purposes.
