I just love how idiots are trying to claim a correlation between violent video games and current events. Or violent movies and current events or even violent music and current events just because some school shooter played GTA V. Anyone with any base knowledge of how statistics actually works knows straight of the bat that since it's such an enormous and diverse target population that plays violent video games there has to be a lot of subjects in a study that shows clear signs of aggression for there to be even a small correlation. And even then it's not actual proof that violent video games has a direct link to current violent events, anything can have a correlation without being a direct link. For instance if you are dumb enough you can make out a correlation between global warming and how many pirates there are in the world even tho they are completely irrelevant to each other. To actually pin point that violent video games is a real source of violent behavior you need to add in a lot of different potential variables that also could explain violent behavior and put them up against each other to try to explain the source of violent behavior. <br><br>So no. Just because a school shooter listened to Marilyn Manson does not mean that his music cause violens.
