    It suggests that Europeans embrace the behaviour when they play the game. The people who purport that extreme behaviours in media (games, TV, movies, books) translate into real life behaviour are making a false equivocation that such behaviour will carry over into reality, which has been shown to be false.

    Look, I am not arguing with you that video games do not cause people to behave poorly in real life. But I will push back on the idea that that is what the meme is suggesting. It only suggests they embrace it when they play the game for the first time, nothing more. We shouldn’t extrapolate further meaning beyond that from a silly joke.

    Johnny?

    Edit: fixed wording

      That’s why I said “essentially”. It’s a silly conflation of video games and real life.
