Shade of idiot Jack Thompson with brain worm here.
What’s old is new again…
Ooh, so original. Going back to those age old talking points eh. So fresh, so new. Why does anyone listen to these wind bags?
Battlefield and CoD are responsible for war?
Oh jeez, I glad they didn’t have video games in 1914, otherwise they might have killed a bunch of people!
You mean the same dumbass that blames an ingredient that hasn’t been in vaccines in over 20 years for Autism, an ingredient that has never been shown to cause autism in the first place? Does anyone actually take this jackass seriously?
Bobby Kennedy must be rolling over in his grave.
Yeah unfortunately 40% of Americans do take this jackass seriously.
I mean, typical boomer shit from an ignorant boomer. I’m not surprised at all.
Crime in the US peaked in 1993… when Doom first came out. Then it started dropping until recently.
Conclusion: violent video games cause a drop in crime.
But it peaked the same year Doom came out. Obviously Doom was the cause of the peak!
I should add, that as less people played Doom, violent crime reduced.
Tap for spoiler
Ok no the double down will woosh someone, here’s your /s
Well he’s right.
Until the invention of video games no one ever killed anyone ever. Then pong came along, and it was mass murder every other day.
Proof:
RFK Jr do better…Tylenol killed 7 people in the 90s, Kirk was obviously killed by Tylenol.
Remember when Coloumbine happened and politicians started blaming DOOM (a several year old game at that point) and Quake? Hell didn’t they also try to blame the Matrix simply because the shooters were wearing trench coats? meanwhile the film came out like what? one or two weeks before the shootings?
Politicians just LOVE their scapegoats.
Not this again…
Back to the 90s.
Hear me out…James Tiberius Kirk was supposed to be a descendant of Charles Aswipe Kirk. Slowly these photos will fade away and be replaced by photos of Christopher Pike.
Then we’d be in a timeline where Spock dies instead, which ends up much worse. (per Strange New Worlds)
I concur
God. Are we back on this loop again?!! Incidentally what is the most selling game currently?
A game about a bug with a needle? Super violent.
I’m old enough to remember “Mortal Monday” with the release of the first Mortal Kombat on consoles and everyone was CONVINCED that it would result in kids ripping the spines and hearts out of peoples bodies.
Hell I remember when the original TMNT and Power Rangers was bad because it would encourage kids to do “ninja stuff” to the point where in the UK they changed “Ninja” to “Hero” and eventually Michaelangleo wasn’t allowed to use nunchucks anymore because out of ALL the weapons the turtles had, THOSE were a no-no. Sword? Sai? that’s fine…even the boe! but heaven forbid a child crafted their own nuncucks!
We never left it, its just not been getting as much traction. It also pivoted, to “Video games cause sexual violence towards women”. And yes, GTA was the main culprit as it always has been.
Switzerland has a comparable number of guns as we do, and the last mass shooting they had was 23 years ago
so does he believe that Swiss people do not play video games, or what
He was so close to the truth, yet so damn far
I thought they figured out a long time ago that it was actually the ADHD medicine causing it
Spoons made me fat!
