The fact that fiction encourages these illicit acts seems to me one of the most ridiculous theories in the history of mankind. (And that unfortunately many are already beginning to believe) Does playing violent video games make you violent? Will viewing +18 content make you perform these acts? Not at all. So anyone who has performed a fatality in mortal kombat does not mean that he will do it in real life. See the logic. It would be the same as saying that in Hollywood movies the poor, ugly and humble stay with the pretty girl for the simple power of love and now all people fall in love with poor and ugly boys. I will deny this fact of incitement.
And yes, the media always tell this news. He watches the news, saying things like Friday Night Funkin is from the devil and things like that. Believing them leads nowhere.
Back to the topic. Children should really be brought up by their parents, not by the media (and adults shouldn't be brought up by them either).
My personal opinion. It is fiction, they are pixels. They are just simple pixels. We are not in a matrix. You have to know how to differentiate between what is fiction and what is real.
