so much for the last word lol
I got you covered.
The thing with the causality is this. They did find factors contributing to those crimes. Hard links. Not suspected links. Proven links of causality.
So you have a thing where you can easily find factors contributing to it, without any doubts.
And you have a suspected contributing factor where for decades people were actively trying to prove a link, but could not, what can be the conclusion to this? You need to consider both together. Active search without result for one factor and unquestioned results for a lot of other factors. If they could identify and blame the other factors, why not that one factor?
My conclusion is, that this factor is just not contributing. It might even be slightly negative, based on my own experiences with video games.
The science consensus is the same, but they phrase it as causality unproven. Remains unproven is even stronger, since it hints that they tried several times.
One can of course be of the opinion that those games are somehow bad. But the activists did not stop at giving the game a bad rating and maybe a concerned comment. Or better yet, ignoring the game and let it simmer in oblivion with all the other incest games with questionable plot devices. They faked evidence. They riled up a mob - with lies. They bullied credit card companies. They bullied game platforms. In the name of fighting fictional content with unproven bad consequences they justfied doing all those things. I believe that is a severe non fictional problem.
