The reason for all this violence is bad parenting. They leave their children to the digital babysitter and then they blame something else for all their childrens wrongdoings instead of asking themselves, What did I do wrong as a parent?

I disagree. While I would say my father is laughably inept at parenting in some ways I wouldn't consider exposing me to art one of the bad aspects. My dad was studying computer engineering in California when I was a child so he had a fairly high end machine and was also a big PC gamer. Playing games like Grim Fandango (which is now my all-time favorite game), Curse of Monkey Island, Unreal Tournament '99 and Half-Life really kindled my interest in PC gaming and I have been gaming ever since (on various consoles and now PC only again). Likewise with the films he watched: he didn't patronize me and so let me watch what he wanted to watch (within reason of course) which got me so interested in film as well. Thanks to getting such an unbiased view of those two media when I was young now I am very passionate about them both. If I had just grown up only kids movies and that kind of crap I probably would have been one of the majority that doesn't really care about art at all.
