IMO, from what I read about the studies done on the violent video games, after a period of time, they are um brainwashed?...not sure that's the term used... but it really isn't much of a choice, but their thinking is changed into that what the videos portray is normal and natural and quite acceptable...for them to do IRL... yes it is scary. Perhaps children that are stable in all areas of their lives don't suffer the tendencies to act out what they learn on videos? IDK.
