Okay. Maybe I’ve been a bit too direct. I’m sorry if that makes you feel a certain way but I really can not tell.

You can look it up. There have been studies done on exact this topic. I’m not an expert though. I remember people discussing similar topics like if playing Counterstrike on a computer makes you want to kill people in real-life. As far as i remember there has been quite some effort trying to prove there is a connection. You have to really read the studies, though, to understand. And to know about correlation, causation and all the scientific stuff. AFAIK it turns out children at a certain age develop an understanding and slowly start to learn to differentiate between fiction and reality.
