No it doesn’t. Billions of people have existed and consumed violent media and have never harmed anyone and billions more who existed long before that violent media that did.
The “satanic panic” wrong targeted music and Dungeons & Dragons and so too here, are you.
People broken and disenfranchised may seek out violent media, violent media doesn’t turn people into sociopaths.

Except every study done on the subject says that you're wrong.

yes it does
it is not a factor standing on its own but it is a factor that allows a path for hatred to be carried out in a physical way.
i think the point you make is that violent media does not turn everyone into something terrible but it does turn some over the edge and fuels a hate that takes over.
if you dabble in shat you are bound to get it on you.

yep i disagree on that one too
you in a way suggest as if media does not influence a person
as if conditional programming is not real
as if the mentality offered by assault weapons and look alikes do not condition or influence
desensitization is real

desensitization is real
Desensitization is real; desensitization doesn’t make killers. Holding a weapon or watching a movie doesn’t make killers. The psychology behind these people is complex and doesn’t start with “watched a violent movie when they were young”, if that were true we’d all have popped by now.
What about that concept is difficult?

see now we are in agreement
you have changed your output on the subject since your first post
may not always start with media but it certainly plays a large part and is not helpful to a society as a whole
there are limits that we can handle as a society
