You are totally getting this the wrong way. We never said that listening to Marilyn Manson was the cause of what happened or the video games. Hell, we purposely didn't make the videogame in the movie violent. So this is just your narrow way of seeing it really.
However, it remains a fact that they listened to heavy metal music (Rammstein, Manson etc), they loved the movie Natural Born Killers and that they played alot of video games. So you are saying that because this were their interests that we should leave these details out on purpose? What type of bullshit is that? We tried to put them into the surrounding in which this happened and to put little details in it. That doesn't mean we think the Manson sticker on his bag was the cause, that's just silly.
We didn't make any form of judgement in the movie, we took neither the side of Eric or Dylan nor the one of the school victims. We leave the interpretation up to the viewer. But please don't force your own interpretation down our throats, saying this is what we meant with it, because you are way off the mark.
