The Moral Panic Around Video Games

There isn't any evidence that violent video games make people violent or cause them to act violently. The popularity of gaming has coincided with a decrease in youth violence. In the game, there is a misconception that the computer controlled Gandhi character can become nuclear Gandhi and like become super aggressive if democracy is adopted in the game. It seems like this myth was popularized by both Reddit and Kotaku. And then in a grand tradition of owning the meme, the company actually added it to the game in civilization five and six as a nod to the myth.
