American tv outlet Fox News offers this terrific visualization of why you - yes, you! - should fear videogamers.
Scott Shackford's takedown is brilliant. For example,
All the killers were male. Going back to 2008, a Pew poll showed that 99 percent of teen males play video games. 99 percent. Teen girls, by the way, clocked in a respectable 94 percent. The shooters turned out to be gamers because they were guys, and guys, by and large, are gamers of some sort, as GTAV’s sales numbers show. And a certain percentage of guys are going to turn out dangerous and violent. Video games are incidental to dealing with this much larger problem.
