Summary

This quote suggests that individuals who engage in violent acts resembling those depicted in movies or video games are often attributed to their exposure to violent video games. It implies that the influence of these games can transform a harmless individual into a violent one, even if they have no prior experience with real-life violence. The quote diminishes the complexity of such behavior, likening it to a simple cause and effect relationship, thereby suggesting that blaming video games as a sole influence is not a nuanced understanding of the underlying factors contributing to violence.
