There are two things being discussed here.
1. Does violent entertainment change the behavior in children? Yes, of course it does. Everything that children experience affects them, molds them. From the way their father treats their mother, to seeing how mom and dad face problems in life. All these things teach them.
Marinating in violence for hours also changes them. And I can't imagine how it could be for the better.
2. Should it be censored/banned?
That is a Band-Aid solution at best. Better if no one wanted to watch it, at all, then censorship would really be a moot point. So I guess the real issue, is why are we so drawn to it in the first place?
