How the fuck people watch that shit is beyond me ...no social redeeming value what so ever meaningless gore and they let youngsters watch this crap when they go out a kill people they are puzzled as to why or what can possibly influence their actions, but then again the world turns in strange ways ... On the subject to influencing young people some of these internet games are violent as hell, recently played a game with my teenage grandson, gruesome stuff my friends, imploding and exploding heads, brain matter all over the place, my grandson yelling at me shoot em in the head papa you get more points, spoke to his parents was not very pleased he was not better supervised, not a heathy thing for young people to participate or see in these violent gruesome games or programs the society we live in is outa control for sure ....
In the 1930s they were concerned horror movies like Frankenstein and Dracula were going to warp developing minds and there was worry that only people who were potential murderers would be attracted to these films.
They of course banned them in England for decades for the same reasons.
Then it was rock n roll, video games, rap music, beavis and butthead, etc. Blame anything and everything EXCEPT poor parenting or some kind of developmental disorder.
I can take a perfectly normal kid and let him watch just about anything on TV, listen to just about any kind of music and he will still be a perfectly normal kid. On the other hand, if you have a kid like Jeffery Dahmer, he can listen to nothing but classical music and watch nothing but the disney channel and he will still grow up to be a serial killer.
Not everything is environment. Now if you abuse a kid, sexually or otherwise and introduce him to animal torture and the abuse of others and that is his "normal" you can take a kid who might otherwise be normal and really mess him up.
This isn't to say that nothing influences kids for good or bad, but normal kids plus good parenting can usually keep most negative influences out of the picture. And more than any of that stuff, the things you have to worry about most is what kind of kids your kid hangs out with and what potential problems they may have.
