Blame The Influenced, Not The Influencer

It's intellectually sickening how one looks to blame media (fictional, so it's entirely allowed to use deceit) that influenced a mind.

How media affect each individual is entirely subjective, and if one acts balefully on influence, it's a disservice to excuse them from their failure to distinguish fiction and reality. The influence only happened b/c they let themselves be influenced. They were not forced to act as they did. The audience's job is to resist such bait which a medium is allowed to do. Correlation of media and actions exists, but don't mistake it for causation. It discounts those who have the ability to resist, who far outnumber those who lack it, making the latter the exception.
