[Industry] Misconceptions about Video Games from Mental Floss, Touches on Violence Issue [x-post reddit] Mental Floss Magazine's Youtube channel just put out this video, called Misconceptions about Video Games. They mention a few different issues, but the segments about video games causing desensitization to violence or being mostly violent seemed the most relevant. I thought it was pretty good, and while it doesn't go into the studies in depth like some others have, it shows that there is no evidence for video games causing violence, and very mixed evidence on desensitization. Even better, he links to a partner channel's video on games causing violence that goes into much more depth. In Video Games Don't Cause Violent Behavior, the doctor goes into specific studies and meta-studies about violence, aggression and publication biases.
