NAYRT but, I mean, surely you have to acknowledge that media and culture and social influences do play some role in peoples' behavior and conception of the world? I don't say that they control peoples' behavior and I'm not saying they're to blame for violence, but I think they definitely play some role.

DA

No, actually, we do not have to acknowledge that. Considering it has been studied ad nauseum and never, ever proven.

[(Anonymous)]

What's never been proven?

Again, I'm not saying that media causes shootings or anything on that level. I'm saying it's one component that influences things like how we think and talk.

[(Anonymous)]

No, it's never been proven. Science researched that subject to death.

[(Anonymous)]

So to be clear here, the position you are arguing in favor of is that media has no influence on how we talk and think

The point I'm trying to bring across is that a criminal's brain is literally different from that of a normal person. The various factors that make a brain develop into its final form is what causes crime, not reading fanfic that makes a misunderstand woobie out of Loki.

Science has proven this. Here, a source:

(Through in my experience people who want to blame media for the bad stuff happening in the world almost never bother to read these things, sooo... whatever.)

A pop science site? Really? That's your proof? A pop science site that's citing two studies that used people who have a diagnosed psychiatric condition no less?

Call me when there's a wide-range, peer-reviewed study using multiple groups covering the range of non-violent as well as violent crimes, that isn't populated with people already diagnosed with a developmentally-rooted mental illness. Then there might be proof of neurological structure definitively causing criminal tendencies.

First I've ever heard of this. And it's an interesting postulation, isn't it - then presuming that criminals are merely the victims of an illness, aka a mis-wired brain.

"a criminal's brain is literally different from that of a normal person" Whilst I'm sure that is a comforting thought, science says no such thing. Most criminals are boringly normal and fall foul of the law through choice or bad luck.
