To what extent can violent imagery (in films, video games, etc.) make someone violent?

Asked by Demosthenes (14939points) March 2nd, 2018

I’m sure that someone with pre-existing violent tendencies could be “set off” by violent movies or violent video games, but can a “normal” person, with no significant violent tendencies or experiences, become a violent person from exposure to video games and movies?

What role do violent video games and movies have in murders and mass killings?
