Video games? You mean mass murder training simulators.
BanMe@lemmy.world 8 months ago
His office leaked his plans to link video games to behavioral issues earlier this week, so he already had the press release ready, he just swapped some words around.
Phegan@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Oh we’re doing this one again? Good luck, things have changed since the last time you dusted this one off.

Well, if you take away video games we’ll have to find entertainment somewhere
NuXCOM_90Percent@lemmy.zip 8 months ago
Yeah. When all y’all are talking about how we need government intervention and legislature to get you what you want?
THIS is why some of us are very wary of that and don’t think “We are just idea people. Other people can make it a law” is at all a good idea.

When you are trying to avoid the most obvious solutions at all costs, you gave to recycle the greatest hits.

Can’t risk hinting that the policies that they push directly lead to the material conditions that cause these shootings.

Hey fuck you…I know video games didn’t cause shit…it seems like I ate that part of his dumbass brain.

It actually galvanized people against the movement and made a younger generation more politically aware, including many probably seeing (voluntarily even) their first testimony to congress as they flipped over from MTV to CSPAN to watch some of their favorite rockers.
So yeah good call GOP
They are really in the shitter with ideas, they have a lot of levers right now, but they are truly staggering under their own weight right now. Their coalition isn’t going to last forever.

It depends on the individual. Those who cannot distinguish fiction from reality are the ones to watch out for.
sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 8 months ago
It really doesn’t.
The only legitimate link between violence and video games is that violent people seem to like violent video games. I haven’t seen any compelling evidence of a video game causing someone to kill.
Hikki88@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 months ago
And what do you think makes people violent? Their upbringing, their environment, their circumstances, and so on. Obviously, if video games are a significant part of their lives, they can contribute to violent tendencies especially if someone cannot distinguish fiction from reality. That’s exactly my point.
selkiesidhe@sh.itjust.works 8 months ago
Played adventure games and fighting games growing up. Never in my entire forty-something years have I even thrown a punch at anyone.
Japan LOVES video games, you don’t see them being brought up for the reason they have sooo maaany murders. Oh wait…
(Now I play MMOs and I never cast a spell at anyone either, in case y’all wondering…)
Cybersteel@lemmy.world 8 months ago
World War 2? Nanking? Unit 451. They were plenty messed up.
freeman@sh.itjust.works 8 months ago
So you are saying videogames fixed them?
Lemminary@lemmy.world 8 months ago
They also gave us anime. I wonder what effect that has had on the world. Nyaaa~!
sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 8 months ago
I played tons of first person shooters, GTA, etc, and I also have never thrown a punch at anyone.
LifeInMultipleChoice@lemmy.world 8 months ago
I’ve punched multiple people, but I know I punched people before I ever had a game console or computer.

Even if you’ve never heard of video games, you can tell this is total bullshit by the fact that RFK jr is saying it.
TigerAce@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 months ago
I played a lot of Pac-Man and now I’m munching for pills in dark rooms while listening to repetitive music. It’s true, I love techno parties. Joke, I barily ever played Pac-Man.
I also played a lot of age of empires. Now I annoy everyone with “whololoooo” all the time. Joke, no I don’t.
Tap for spoiler
Whololooooo

AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 8 months ago
I’m pretty sure the mass shootings are just emulation of the mass violence the ultrarich inflict on everyone on a daily basis.
I hope the shooter’s name is Mario Brother
BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 8 months ago
The CEO killing was nothing more than a correction of the Free Market. His denial policies went to far, and the market corrected the problem. In addition, his company, and other health companies as well, loosened up their denial policies as a result of the killing, almost certainly avoiding deaths. THAT is the very definition of a Free Market correction.
This is another one. MAGA policies have gone too far, and are promising to go further, despite outrage from the majority of the citizens. Now one of those citizens has attempted to reduce some of the most vicious, treasonous, and influential rhetoric by removing the source. It’s another Free Market correction.
The Free Market is the Conservative religion, you would think they’d be cheering at evidence that it is working.

Well what is the saying, free market for everyone else, but socialism for themselves.
