Also, video games do not cause violence. While it is scientifically proven that constant viewing images of things such as brutal murder (like in People Playground, Happy Wheels, etc.) has negative psychological effects, video games are more of a release. Many video games induce stress, but playing others, such as Animal Crossing, can be a calm break from the stress and constant pent-up rage of life, while suffering less ill mental side-effects induced by watching violent images, as the most violent things that can happen in it are hitting islanders with a net, or getting assaulted by scorpions (NOTE: for those who have never played Animal Crossing, getting attacked by scorpions, tarantulas, and wasps is not that violent in game). Even some slightly more violent games like Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity can be a way to relieve stress via cathartic destruction. To conclude, while unhealthy if not done in moderation, video games cannot be proven to cause violence.
