Absolutely. Also, there's compelling arguments from the 90s suggesting violent video games lead to violent behavior.

Yeah, and there was "panic" about it just like there have been panics about metal lyrics and rap lyrics, but that doesn't mean there isn't an underlying freakin problem.
Some people can mess around with lots of imaginary things. Ronnie James Dio, the Metal Midget himself, Creator of the Sign of Metal, was a sweetheart as a person.
But we are kidding ourselves if we think lots of people -- I would argue most people -- are not "topgun" at policing their imaginations to make sure it does not bleed over into how they "actually" think about the world.
Those folks should be very careful. But of course, since this is an impulse control issue, being careful is also not their strong suit.
And then you have genuine people on the edge like Magnetaress. You ok Maggie!
You know who the real problem is? People who honestly do not know they are damaged and bent out of shape.
So Magnetaress, remember you are always one step ahead of the fools. Chill out and listen to the Grateful Dead and don't do drugs. And watch that blood sugar if you decide to go with the antipsychotics. You develop tremors over time. Key to anti-psychotics is to deny it sugar rushes. Whole grains and cereals, carbs that have to digest are your friend.
