"How can we blame video games for this clear case of psychological torture causing the victim to lash out against their aggressor?" is unfortunately out of vogue, too many normie mainstream gamers now pretending Elden Ring is the hardest and most violentest game evar, so it'd become too immediately obvious the journos were full of shit, as they always are.

I remember one school shooting case, someone actually had the audacity to stand on camera and say "I knew [the shooter] was a bad guy, that's why I stole from him and beat him. The fact he later shot up the school, wow, see, my actions were justified!"
