people seem to have forgotten what the findings of all that complaining about video games and violence from the 90s and 2000s actually were (spoilers, media doesn't have that direct 1 to 1 influence like that)

and there's also that wonderful kurt vonnegut quote about the effect of art on the vietnam war that feels relevant here too...
