FPS’s are like porn in that they’re a simulacrum of the real thing, distorted for entertainment value. To claim they’d be useful for training in the use of actual firearms is absurd.
It’s also hard to make the case that video games would be the primary cause of desensitising these shooters to the suffering of their “targets”. The dehumanising language of right-wing populists is a lot more powerful in spurring the massacres perpetrated by already empathy-challenged individuals than is an FPS.
