The media is an echo chamber, anon. Cultural values end up in media and then bounce back, and that's been the case since the beginning of human communication. As a result, the media doesn't cause things, but it certainly helps normalize them in people's minds. If you weren't exposed to an idea--say, that women are bad at math--but you saw dozens of shows that said that? If that was then enforced by not seeing female math teachers, or science teachers, or having people say that directly to you? You'd start to agree.

Video games don't cause violence because society doesn't tell you shooting someone with a rocket launcher will solve all your problems.

I disagree with your last point, the US, at least, doesn't have any problem with killing groups of people as long as they "deserve it" in some messed up respect. Revenge killing is a very real thing celebrated here and much of the media here glorifies it.

What I mean is that video game violence is so over the top that nothing else in society backs it up. Media in general, I'm sure, certainly does contribute to some kinds of violence for exactly the reason you've mentioned.
