These negatives range from public misconceptions to legitimate concerns that need to be addressed. Starting with the public misconception, of which there are many, the first is that violent games are linked to youth aggression. This statement is extremely misleading and purposely vague since there is no information about a causal effect between them ("The Video Game Revolution: 'Eight Myths About Video Games Debunked' by Henry Jenkins | PBS", n.d.). Of all the studies conducted on aggression there has always been only one correlation that was not causation. While it is true that violent games can reduce empathy, this is consistent with the study conducted by Harrington and O'Connell (2016), but this cannot be equated to “violent games teach violence”. There may be many explanations for the correlation, such as “violent people like violent games,” but resorting to statements such as “violent games teach violence” is both misleading and misleading..
