There have been Studies, probably paid for by Activision, showing that Game violence doesn’t contribute to irl violence, but it’s bs. Mass shooters are statistical ghosts. If an event’s likelihood is 1 in 10,000,000k, you are never going to capture it cleanly in lab aggression tasks, self-reported hostility scales, or short-term behavioral proxies. Social science is good at measuring mean shifts, not pathological outliers. It can tell you whether violent games raise heart rate or irritability by 3%. It cannot tell you how a single alienated, obsessive, grievance-soaked mind metabolizes thousands of hours of simulated domination.

The “selection effect” is only half the story. Yes, violent Scum/Losers are drawn to violent Games. But feedback loops exist:

obsession sharpens fantasy

fantasy rehearses identity

identity seeks expression

Social science hates feedback loops because they ruin clean causality. But human psychology is loops. The industry’s favorite move is to say: “They were already violent.” That’s like saying: “The fire already existed, therefore gasoline is irrelevant.” Discuss.

You are probably right. I think the idea it didn't cause violence was true when people weren't always online. When life wasn't all Computer. But now you've got a toxic soup of people living on Computer and in Discord forums 24/7 while playing endless hours of this kind of shit.

And people just want to hand-wave it. It’s rank intellectual dishonesty. Same with Scummy af metal or nigger rap music. Of course it influences kids ffs. Millennials have their heads up their asses and it’s leading to more mass shootings by zoomers, all because millennial Losers like Gaming so much.

I'd even throw in shit like people listening to podcasts all day. People literally put headphones in and pump brainwashing straight into their minds non-stop. Very sick!

lol at the rap music shit, too. It's all become so ignorant and increasingly just derivatives of derivatives of what's come before because the "artists" have no actual talent and it costs nothing to make rap music and put it online.

When it comes to Gaming, I mean it’s pointless given its current State, where the cat’s already out of the bag. But imo at least acknowledging that violent western-developed games are horrifying is progress. There was nothing that came after Doom 1-2 or Mortal Kombat 1-3 that matched it terms of Scumminess and Hellish imagery. The later games feel sanitized even if they’re still violent af. I feel this is a byproduct of the Democratic Caucus’ hearings in the 90s.

What people should at least do is what I’m doing — just be like “wow just wow these games are violent, and probably inspire Losers to do mass shootings.” At some point, congress should call western developers such as Todd Howard for Hearings where they are harangued. Also, respectable parents should limit their kids to Japanese games exclusively.

These seem fine bc the violence serves a purpose and usually isn’t in FPS view whereas Doom and other PC FPSs put you in FPS view which helps the player train for mass shootings. There is also little if any point to the violence other than to prepare for school shootings with aliens serving as a stand-in.

Shutting out Losers from society has all sorts of ghastly knock-on effects. The Losery white collar work that they excel at ends up being done by incompetents or Indians. And the pool of “qualified” people gets narrowed when no one hires college grads except at OCI. One thing leads to another and COL skyrockets while everything becomes shittier. I don’t think we can change this — or anything — without a bloody af revolution or a threat thereof.

Decline can almost certainly be tied to rise of mass media. It seems like every time a new form of media is introduced, some sort of mania occurs. Smartphone social media is just the mega nuke to end literacy once and for all.

Gun laws would 100% prevent mass shootings bc Losers can’t access illegal guns. Cons are intellectually dishonest when they ignore this. Laws have less effect on murders within the criminal underworld imo.

They probably do. But the poaster is right to point to SSRIs. An unimaginable number of people are on them because the thought of dealing with the real world as it is has become such a nightmare for most people.

In reality they should just poast instead of popping pills. Much better solution.

Seems to me the obvious answer is that media coverage of mass shootings causes mass shootings.

A certain % of people are psychopaths. It's why they always come in waves - they see the nonstop coverage and get inspired.
