Earlier this week, Twitter user @nancygrz launched the hashtag #VideoGamesAreNotToBlame as a way to support the gaming industry after United States President Donald Trump and two prominent Republican politicians put partial blame on violent video games for recent mass shootings in El Paso and Dayton. The hashtag soared in popularity and led to a slew of reactions on Twitter and Reddit, with many mocking the premise of the argument as an absurd diversion.
Here are some of the best edits the internet had to offer:
