Content/Trigger Warning: joking about video game violence, mentions of recent shootings, LGBTQ+ sensitive topics, family-caused trauma, brief mentions of gender roles and stereotypes.

Our intention was to talk about the supposed/potential correlation between video game/movie/tv violence and the 'increased' violence among young people. However, it turned out to be a limited topic and we had to expand to false correlations that are put on young people in general.
