Effects of violent video games on aggressive behavior, aggressive cognition, aggressive affect, physiological arousal, and prosocial behavior: a meta-analytic review of the scientific literature.
Throughout the discussions, participants emphasize scientific evidence by quoting meta-analyses and key studies, such as Anderson & Bushman's 2001 research, often using phrases like 'significant evidence' and 'supports' to reinforce the impact of violent games on aggression. The tone reflects a recognition of both scientific consensus and ongoing controversy, with some users calling for serious study and others dismissing opposing views, indicating a shared concern about the societal effects of violent video games.

ImpactHigh impact

Abstract in brief
Exposure to violent video games has been scientifically linked to increases in aggressive behavior, aggressive thoughts, and feelings in children and young adults.
Research findings show that playing these games also boosts physiological arousal, which can contribute to aggressive responses.
Conversely, exposure to violent video games tends to decrease prosocial behaviors, such as helping and cooperating with others.]

Y siempre me encanta que saquen ese argumento de los videojuegos violentos porque es a lo mínimo cuestionable jeje
No ves psicópatas en masa por la ficción pero de que tiene un impacto tiene y se ha demostrado en neurociencias.

and yes, there are studies that also claim the opposite. and there are studies that say that CGI CP is a deterrent to people actively aggressing. All I said that it was weird.

From this meta-analytic review, there is actual evidence to support that playing violent video games will increase aggressive behaviour in children and young adults.

@CelcoStapler @CashTumbles @CNN Found a meta analysis that says video games increase violent tendencys for you, https://t.co/sFXMxP8CHE. For the record I don't think video games increase violence as many newer studdies have shown.
@JohnJiao @GAMMA_USA @GOPLeader Check the research again. A meta-analysis (a study of all the studies, best analysis you can get) showed that violent video games increase aggressive behavior, physiological arousal & aggression-related thoughts & feelings and decrease prosocial behavior. https://t.co/JibUBATKWs
