Quantitative studies have sought to determine whether or not there is a causal link between violent video games and real-world violent crime.

But I believe that studying this issue in terms of causality is misguided.

The violent video game debate teaches us a lot about reality, psychology, and interpretations of morality.

This video essay was inspired by theories of nomology, phenomenology, ontology, metaphysics, and virtuality, with reference to Plato, Immanuel Kant, Friedrich Nietzsche, Sigmund Freud, Jacques Lacan, Jean Baudrillard, and Slavoj Žižek.

I hope you enjoy!

And please: always try to see things beyond the binary.
