Rather than just saying it does or doesn't cause it, I think we should also discuss how it may cause it. Because I think the sole extent of the influence is that it suggests the idea of doing it. And if someone explicitly brings it up and tells people not to do it, then that will be sufficient to make people not act on the idea.
In other words, I think there might be a causality chain, but one that can be easily broken.
- hn23 7y agoJust search for the Movie Overgames on YouTube. It shows how the psychology was used in gameshows of the 50ies to reeducate Germans. TV was thought of as means to heal. I think series like 24 were no accident. They pushed the limit farther. Today even kid movies like Pets is more than slapstick comedy. Even there you see torture as valid means.
