As expected with the latest mass shooting, there are people blaming violent media for the shooter's actions. Mainly Donald Trump. Which brings up the current question. Does violent media cause violent behavior?
I don't think that it can by itself. If a child does something outrageous like fly to another state (this actually happened I think) or they end up killing one of their parents because they took away a game the child was addicted to (this happened too), it's pretty easy to see where the blame should lie.
Basically it's the same scapegoating trend that we see all the time since Columbine. If only common sense wasn't so rare that it's a super power......
