Reasonable, I think that’s a fair argument. I’m just adding that some abused individuals who use video games as a way to cope with stress might be pushed over the edge when they encounter violence in those games. It may be a small percentage, but it can certainly contribute. But yeah, I have to admit that since it’s not such a tangible thing to grasp, it might be difficult to truly know unless the individual clearly says so.

And what do you think makes people violent? Their upbringing, their environment, their circumstances, and so on. Obviously, if video games are a significant part of their lives, they can contribute to violent tendencies especially if someone cannot distinguish fiction from reality. That’s exactly my point.

It depends on the individual. Those who cannot distinguish fiction from reality are the ones to watch out for but it’s tough to figure that out.

We all know how it came to be, you didn't get the point but it's okay.

I'm telling you it spread because of government funding and capitalists were just the medium by which the funding was used.

It doesn’t work just by you saying it. According to multiple sources, the government clearly didn’t want to fund commercial internet and largely backed out during the 90s.

The capitalist part is replaceable and unnecessary.

It doesn’t matter if you think it’s replaceable, I can make that claim too. What matters is what actually happened in reality.

And I never said that they invented the internet.
