"some real darkness lurking in your head"
This is a "fps games cause school shootings" level of take.
FPS games don't cause school shootings, but I'm willing to bet proportionally more chuds play games like Manhunt, Kane & Lynch, the entire war shooter genre, etc. People look for escapism that conforms to their fantasies. So again, FPS games don't cause school shootings, but if a kid has the teachers and classmates turned into enemies in a video game, maybe be worried a little bit.
It's pretty clearly not, they're not suggesting the video game causes those dark thoughts. They're suggesting dark thoughts propel you into acting them out in video games.
Thank you. G*mers man, any criticism of there treats must be an inquisition. Whereas, in real life the "video games are evil" fanfare of the 90s-00s was at best a scapegoat to justify the government doing nothing to stop school shootings, and at worst an active advertising campaign to make rebellious kids feel badass because they bought an M rated game with lots of blood.
