Massive boomer energy right there.

Im guessing Among Us?

Wait the “violent video game” is Among Us?!?!

WT actual F

This is how you radicalize actual children. It's clear these people are completely oblivious to the fact that every 10 year old in the country knows among us and plays it. Actual children will see how completely absurd all of this is. I love this move. Go ahead, show the children how utterly out of touch the top is.

Yeah, that's the problem. It's our bread and circuses, not an entire industry designed to take our money and kill us.

It’s likely more than half of adults in the US play video games. About 40% of those play some kind of shooter. There are 258 million adults in the US. That’s ~129 million gamers, and ~51 million “shooters”.

Out of 51 million, they think they can link one to a game and condemn the genre?

Whatever. Try again. The only people that think so are the pearl-clutchers and the press.

Don't ya know? Bonnie and Clyde played the FUCK out of Payday. Genghis Khan was real big on Crusader Kings.

In other news, study ties dysfunctional healthcare system to video game violence. Details at 11.

So, the solution to CEOs is more violent video games?

Violent crime has decreased since the 1990s as video games (including violent ones) have continued to grow in popularity. If anything, this establishes that violent video games prevent violent crime.

Aight folks, can we move on to 2025? I didn't know we're back to the 2000s

I noticed that of the late night hosts Seth Meyers had the least material on the subject to the point of it being conspicuous.

Trying to fill a 24-hour news cycle requires a lot of bullshit, and Fox, NBC, CNN, CBS, and your favorite news outlet are happy to shovel it.

Stop watching partisan, billionaire-owned news outlets and start consuming international news and non-partisan sites. (Like the AP and Al Jazeera)

Also, watch moderate people on the other side of the political divide. It may annoy you in some ways (like how I can't listen to Maher when he gets on the topic of Israel), but you'll learn more and you'll have more nuanced views, which will benefit you in ways you can't fully understand until you're able to think about things in a different way. I'm a leftist, so for me, it's been Bill Maher, Chris Williamson, or Jon Stewart. More people need to learn what they don't know that they don't know.

Our "news" outlets are simply pathetic.

It's embarrassing.

Huh, I thought NBC was a respectable news org...

It's linked to social media. I guess they can't criticize that.

Wow, I can't believe I get to dredge up this ancient photo again:

(Obviously this is satire. I furthermore still haven't quite made peace with the fact that every single item on Daniel Rutter's web site can now be considered "retro.")

Who the fuck are these assholes, Jack Thompson?

Monopoly? No? I guess that's the less visible kind of violence that makes it acceptable.

He also breathed air.

"news"

Did Tipper Gore get resurrected somehow? I thought she got banished to the shadow realm.
