Grooming of UK jihadis, do violent computer games play a part?

The media go on about radicalised jihadis . Has anyone mentioned that radicalisation or , to put it another way , de sensitisation to violence , might be due to violent computer games where the next level becomes actual physical violence with a corresponding sense of achievement? Who buys and plays violent computer games ? Surely it's angry testosterone

filled young men with no outlet for their feelings?

Just considering another dimension which the Msm never touch.......

No..................

I play violent shooting and fighting games. Doesn't make me want to do violent things. Just the same as watching a violent film doesn't or reading a graphic crime novel etc.

Short answer No!

Long answer Nooooooooo! Move on and stop talking rubbish.

I actually love the quality of graphics in films but despise nasty macho video games , there must be healthier ways to channel all that testosterone
