Comment on Can art which is encouraging harmful behaviors possibly ever have the potential to result in people engaging in or continuing to engage in those behaviors? Or is this completely impossible?

Depends on the person. A person with sociopathic tendencies is gonna listen to a song glorifying violence or play a video game doing the same and see it as encouragement. But that’s also only the really stupid and violent, and those people were probably going to do those things anyway.

I think most people that find justification for violent actions from art would find other reasons to justify those things if they didn’t have the art to blame it on.
