It is incredibly relevant. If murder is prevented by having people play violent games and live out their fantasy there, isn’t that a good thing?
I’m not convinced that it would be, but it’s an interesting hypothesis.
- delecti 8mo agoThe comment I replied to was proposing the opposite equivalent, that fake CSAM (written fiction, AI generated images not trained on real CSAM) could increase risk of action. I don't think violent video games should be banned, whether they increase or decrease IRL violence (I personally suspect they don't have a significant effect either way). And I don't think "simulated CSAM" (where no actual minors were involved in any part of the creation) should be banned on that basis either (though I don't know enough to guess whether it would tend to increase or decrease actual violations).
