Why blame the game when countless factors can explain adolescent violence?

So common it is to blame Doom for satanic worship when hardships unfold in tragic recurrence.

Yes, let's blame violent video games for aggressive youths and their violent acts.

Let's pretend psychology doesn't exist while imaginary demons and mumbo jumbo satisfy

the fumbling, bumbling parent who follows the pastor -

quick to deflect the blame onto a game.

GTA 6 will arrive soon, met with anticipation and controversy,

as old boomers rush to blame age-old violence on gory details in video games -

ignoring the suffering mind.

Of course, it's easier to deny psychosis exists,

dismissing the sensory perceptions of factors

the average parent pretends don't exist.

The common man listens to conmen in churches,

while ignoring the medicine man with a doctorate in the human mind,

or the lack of background checks that fail to rein in the criminal element.

It's far easier to blame a game -

why bother examining the human mind

or working to prevent an escalating crime spree

born of psychological abnormalities?

So the next time a shooter unleashes horror,

the media will blame the game,

while pastors urge their flocks to boycott the game of blame.
