Before video games it was D&D. It will always be something.

It's because parents don't raise their kids, they get Playschool toys, tv and videogames to do it for them.

When I was young, I watched all kinds of violent films and played violent games, the difference was my Grandfather or Dad were watching it with me to put it into perspective.

Another problem is an age old one. Old media hate new media. So we're gonna keep hearing about this till something else comes along. Nothing has changed, first we had toy guns making kids violent, then comics, then TV and now games.

Finally, yep, it's the "blame everything but the complex social causes" syndrome. The interwoven inimic social problems that any society has a hard for the common chud to figure out, let alone solve. Hence the habit of humans to say "It's evil spirits, witches, Jews, games", or any other simple group to pin the problem on. Rather than looking at the ergot growing on the wheat, your poorly managed society and economy emerging from a destructive war, or violent human instincts that persist despite having no relevance to todays society respectively.

Best to do is ignore it, but if you must reply, always be on your best behaviour, regardless of how justified the anger, or you will feed the stereorype.
