Sorry, didn't see the "to me". I feel that propensity towards violence is inherent. Mostly because I have none and violent video games repel me instead of attract me. I guess I see them as a manifestation rather then a cause. Perhaps even used as indicators (Drawn to violence - higher possibility that the individual enjoys violence).
I think this may be an example of superimposing your mindset onto others and assuming they approach experiences in the same way you do. Video game violence repels you, so you assume that if it doesn't repel others they have violent tendencies. I don't think that's necessarily so-- maybe they are curious about game programming and want to see how far the game programmers set the game up to allow players to go.
That, and I dont think my NFy little 8 year old daughter enjoys real violence because she likes to make the Sims suffer, and neither would you if you met her.
