........ And?

Why do we give a shit?

Why is this newsworthy?

Are we going to hear about his time working in retail soon? I'm sure it will provide deep insight to find out which store he worked at for 3 months, 8 years ago. clearly that's relevant information.

Because it's a opportunity to trot out the low hanging fruit of 'Videos games promote violence', providing a convenient target to point the finger at.

Didn't the disbarring of Jack Thompson teach them anything?

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 week ago

I don't want to be conspiratorial but this helps stop the class awakening all of this was helping bring about. The more we know about him, the more people will identify or not identify with him and then we're back to culture war being the conversation instead of class war.

Because they are going to milk every click they can, except anything that scares the billionaire overlords

Media on their way to doxx and leak every single detail about a guy who MAYBE killed some rich heartless exec

Goes to jail for 27 gruelling years and comes out to a reform and becomes president?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Goes to jail: yes

For 27 years: I'd prefer something more like 27 days

Comes out to a reform: I might need some educating on this

Becomes president: it would be an improvement

Reform: the part where the apartheid regime was overturned

I guess if I try to shoehorn it into this analogy, it would be a reform of the healthcare system in America

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

Oh, then yes! Reform the shit out of it!

I knew it! it's because of his Nintendo or Gameboy!

Grams Theft Auto singlehandedly causes all crime in America. We should've known it was the games all along.

Blatant attempt to cash-in on his celebrity status.
