"Blaming video games for real-world violence is about as old as video games themselves. Despite this, no reputable studies have ever shown any link between violent games and significant increases in violent behavior in those who play them, and there has never been a credible example of a school shooting directly influenced by playing a game. The causes of real-world violence are already incredibly well known: socioeconomic inequity, social service inequality, a lack of mental health support,"
"Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has declared that he believes video games could be a cause of gun violence in America. Speaking to PBS ( as spotted by ), the U.S. health secretary explained that the National Institutes of Health are looking into possible causes for gun violence, during which he named "video games and social media" as likely culprits. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. also believes there's no connection between HIV and AIDS and that fluoride in the water causes IQ loss."
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. believes video games and social media could be causes of gun violence in America. He said the National Institutes of Health are looking into possible causes and named "video games and social media" as likely culprits. He also believes there is no connection between HIV and AIDS and that fluoride in water reduces IQ. No reputable studies have shown a link between violent games and significant increases in violent behavior, nor evidence of a school shooting directly influenced by games. Known causes of real-world violence include socioeconomic inequity, social service inequality, lack of mental health support, and widespread gun availability without restrictive laws. Right-leaning governments often avoid these areas and seek scapegoats.
