This is your evidence that viewing violence leads to violence and that people like you need to censor what everyone else sees and says. We've had this argument with violent video games and there is absolutely no solid evidence they make kids more violent.

A recent analysis finds that research on video games is prone to false positives and false negatives, which leads to faulty conclusions. Another review finds that much of the research on violence and video games is affected by publication bias; essentially, studies that concluded that video games lead to aggression and violence are more likely to be published than studies that find violent video games don’t have an effect on violence. As a result, large reviews of the data conclude violent video games lead to aggression without considering research to the contrary. There is emerging research that finds no link between violent games and negative outcomes, such as reduced empathy, aggression and depression. > This is the second time in two days that I've had to correct a science-illiterate HN user We are so lucky to be blessed with someone of your mental magnitude.
