How to respond to critics blaming video games

I thought I make a guide on how to respond to people who firmly believe that violence in video games contribute to mass shootings. Remember even though we live in 2018, a sizable amount of people still believe in this absurd myth that video games makes someone violent.

1. Point to studies that show no link between violent video games and mass shootings. I won't to any specific ones, but there's a bunch out there, google is your friend.

2. Point out that there are video game ratings for every game out there. Point out it's the parent job to make sure they're are well informed.

3. State that parents need to raise their kid well, ultimately it's the parent who needs to the role model a child needs to be a produtice person in society. A violent video game can't raise your child and it's not the child fault that they got the game. Who else would buy the game for their kid? Yes that's right, the parent.

4. Point out the obvious, video games are fantasy and not reality. That we can tell the difference between real world violence and fake violence.

5. State how much the world consumes as much video games as the united states, but they don't have the same problem as mass shootings we do.

There you go. In order to win this "debate" about violence in video games, we need to refute the opposition's argument that games contribute to violence. In order to win in the arena of ideas, we must enlighten the critics. Maybe in a few years or more the world will stop blaming video games for violence.
