it depends on the individual, if the person is already aggressive, then it might keep them that way, but i dont think it would increase it much.
we can also say that martial arts or the military can make people aggressive and yes they can if the person is not a balanced/mature individual and thought the wrong way.
i would say that alcohol and drugs are the leading cause of violence, along with being abused as a child. Anything else contributes very little
totally agree

I agree with this, the thing with violent videogames is that it exposes the mind to the notion that it can sometimes be acceptable to be violent, in which case, I agree with that, but the problem comes from not knowing *when* it’s socially acceptable to be violent, which admittedly, isn’t very often unless you’re a professional fighter/soldier/anything along those lines. Personally, I find the violent games as a good outlet for when I do feel violent, as with a little immersion, you can really beat a lot of virtual people up with much relief.
