Violent video games have been bashed on by both ignorant liberals and ignorant conservatives. Despite not having a single well proven correlation that fake violence influences mature individuals to conduct real violence, gaming has become the common ground scapegoat of any atrocious event. While nearly every mass shooter has watched television, listened to the radio, and drank water many claim that a shooter indulging on one of the most popular mediums of the 21st century proves games cause violence. Despite not a single video game portraying a level of violence even close to that of the saw films, gaming has been targeted and made a "greater evil". As history repeats itself the previous hatred and bias towards the newspaper, radio, television, and movies has shifted on to gaming; mostly thanks to the main stream media exploiting the ignorance of the public for a quick buck. | Violent video games have been bashed on by both ignorant liberals and ignorant conservatives.
