With all due respect to the esteemed author and his colleague, this is a load of bullshit. Mental illnesses develop in relation to a variety of factors, including biochemical, environmental and psychological. Placing all the blame on one method of entertainment makes no sense, much like rock music is mistakenly believed to cause cardiovascular problems. Furthermore, these statements place responsibility for such conditions on individuals themselves, criticizing their intellectual abilities and communication skills, as well as media preferences. Such victim-blaming tactics, dressed in the garb of spiritual criticism, serve only to alienate the perpetrator from his offended or hurt audience, while propagating a dangerous philosophy regarding the mentality.
