"I believe that the media and popular culture have a significant role in this issue, especially in how they often romanticize violence and war, be it towards women, the environment, or other cultures. The current situation in Gaza is absolutely horrific and it’s shocking that this situation has been allowed to escalate and continue. Some elements of gaming culture make violence appear 'cool' and even 'sexy,' which is horrendous. Challenging these influences is a daunting task."
