“Again, what is the attraction to violent video games? I am trying to understand. And no one ever said that anyone who plays violent video games becomes a mass murdered. Just interested in those who do.”

I wonder what “the attraction” is myself.

I _never_ saw anything of interest, value, or sense in ANY of those games.

To me, they are as repulsive as violent rap music (which I unequivocally hate).

No redeeming social value at all. None.

I totally agree, especially about rap “music”, which of course isn’t music at all!

I like racing motorcycles off-road. The Sierra Clubbers don’t understand the attraction, so it is therefor senseless that I, as well as a large contingent of thrill seekers race motorcycles off-road wrecking their idea of a pristine desert being preserved for yet unnamed persons or whatever to enjoy without visiting. Of course, they’re OK with the climbers who drive pitons into the face of El Capitan in Yosemite. I suppose they understand the attraction.

Your “not understanding the attraction” doesn’t qualify for public policy making. I don’t care for video games at all, cannot understand the attraction, but would tend to use scientific studies with real numbers arrived at without the prejudice of an agenda to ban someone else’s idea of a good time.
