TotalBiscut made a nice video about how there is no connection about violence and video games. This happens because people make the murderer an antihero and give him too much attention rather than grieving the families that died, and such people want attention and they attracted to doing such stuff.
He brings up a good point about the South Korea model - "South Korea is known to the world as the video gaming capital of the world. How many school shootings there were in the last 10 years? None. How many school shootings there were there ever? None."
Any connection with video gaming and violence is BS, it's just media trying to get a bit more money by making people read whatever they throw at them.

Doesn't mean I can't post it. It still sums up my thoughts perfectly and if I wouldn't redirect anyone they wouldn't understand what I'm talking about.

Okay, decided I would make my say in this.
Basically, I think it's mainly either the child's or the parent's fault. Most parents today don't really care what games the child play, so I think that MIGHT have a connection with it. The parents should monitor their children a bit more.
Second off, it could be the child's fault. If the child is hardcore in that game and looks up to a violent person in a game as a rolemodel, shit could go sideways. My mom said I could start playing grand theft auto and I turned it down.
to sum it all up, I personally disagree with this. It all depends on the childs choice, not peer pressure from games.

The only way a kid would choose a violent character as a role-model is if they don't have one in real life.
Therefore, it's still mainly the parent's fault in my opinion.
