    RFK Jr. Blames violent video games for Mass Shootings.

    I agree. Those who miss out on playing violent video games, end up resorting to real life violence later.

    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

      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.

    Christ, man. It’s either “god had a plan” or “captain price from mw2 indirectly shot the suspect, your honor”

    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.

    His Brain worm is right. I remember when Pong first came out, and I’d get so pissed off when playing it, that I wanted to kill somebody.

    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

    Been playing bloodborne all week. I still have no desire to go out with two wagon wheels assembled together with some kind of cog mechanism to toss it over my shoulder and slam it into dogs that are too aggressive for my tastes.
