This is the same argument that has been advanced for all media and never (to my eye) been successfully determined. Do the media create a want or do they provide for a want that already exists?
As an example, a huge number of US films depict people shooting guns at other people. Do people shoot each other as a random selection from a video store might lead you to believe? There probably wouldn't be many movies, or stores, or customers if they did.
