“Unfortunately, mainstream reports have a decades-long history of broadly failing to report confidently on video games, particularly as they relate to real-world violence. In the late 1990s and through the 2000s, local news and network news alike infamously responded to shootings by flooding televisions with stories of Doom training a generation to kill. These days, the moral panic is often subtler, though no less absurd, often nodding to a connection between games and violence without explicitly stating one.” —
