If RPG's are evil why haven't I killed my parents yet? Why my friends
that also play RPG are not criminals or pshycos?

I agree that the coin has 2 sides. However I think I have a proof. A few
thousands gamers around the world that are perfectly normal people, many
of them with families, raising kids, with no tension to kill or commite
an evil act in general. I don't think that anyone needs a better proof
than that. And also I think that most people are intelligent enough to
see both sides of the coin.
There is always a rotten part in every community. It's not a thing that
exists only in the RPG gamers community. It's a part of everyday life.
Why do we have to spot specifically the crimes and evil acts that happen
only by RPG gamers? They are not different from the other crimes and
anyway for sure they are not caused by the RPG games.
