Do violent video games create real life violent people?

I find it funny how the same conservatives who say video games cause violence are the same people that say "guns don't kill people, people do".

IDK, I was raised on a steady diet of COD and Halo, and was still totally petrified when I saw my first real fight at school.

ive imagined RPGing a few people irl after playing lots of GTA 5 lol

No. Depends on what though? The kid? Like movies or even cartoons are not packed with violence anyway. Or sports or the news🤔 pretty much every single thing you can watch on screens or read in papers. Why do people like to single out videogames?

Yes I played Witcher 3 tonight and I feel ready to pirouette into society and slash some people in half with my steel hunting sword.

I think exactly the opposite. Allows people to get their frustrations out

No but PS4 voicechat definitely does

No.

I think someone who plays a violent video game than does the violence in real life would have enacted violence at some point regardless.

Video games are more ubiquitous than ever. Homicides are fairly low for the history of our crime reporting stats. So I'm going to have to say no.
