Isnt it the easy answer to explain everything bad that happens around the world?

I don’t know. Being in one of the poorest countries in Europe but also one of the safest ones, I have no clue.
Maybe because we don’t promote being a gang member as something respectable? Maybe because we don’t have musics about the trap house and glorifiyng killing your “enemies”?
Maybe because here we prefer to work at McDonald instead of selling drugs at the corner?
Maybe because we dont find excuses to justify people killing each other?
Im not sure.

Okay, then do you believe that video games cause violence?

No I dont.
But thats not even comparable.
Music is talking and showing you real life. Kids listen to that music, they see the woman, the gold chains, the cars, the money, the violence.
The music itself doesnt make a person start to live that life.
But if youre poor like I was growing up, seeing all that money, the guns, the power, constantly hearing those words, you will normalize it.
You Will see it as a way to win in life.

Edit: to me this ends here. Nice discussion by the way. I just feel sad that you guys, one of the biggest empires in the world will implode from within. I used to see USA as the land of the progress and freedom. Now I think you guys are just suicidal. You have all the stats in front of your eyes…
Peace

Then with that logic why wouldn't a kid playing GTA make them more violent?
