Troubled by the ethics of this film even existing

I agree, one of the great things about this film is that the writing and the actors performances are very natural, it all seems so real!

I wouldn't blame media influences (such as this movie) for school shooters. Sure they may be inspired by certain violent mediums, but ultimately they need to be held responsible for their own actions. Like the boys said in the movie, they are acting on their own feelings about the world, not because a violent game told them to.

Let's take out some puppets

"Rage" was published at a time before school shootings as a social phenomenon was a thing. Zero Day was released after the media had already turned Harris and Klebold into virtual celebrities. There was really nothing that an underground filmmaker could do to add to the infamy they had already achieved.

If you can't figure out how to make these things yourself, you're probably too stupid to follow instructions from a book, movie or the internet.

The Filipinos managed to make single shot slam bang shotguns to kill the occupying Japanese during WW2 without the benefit of books, movies or the internet. Any reasonably intelligent person can.
