That isn't even the point of the thread tbh, it's that the finger pointing that the POTUS toward violent video games poisons the waters for legitimate conversations about video game violence as a whole.
Sorry, but media has a tremendous impact on our cultural values, our feelings about violence, about what it means to be a man or a woman, etc etc.

We're not saying that video games like GTA make people drive on the sidewalk, it's that video games shape the way we view the world, including what constitutes masculinity. When you codify violence as an expression of masculinity, you nudge your audience in that direction.
