Trump blames video games for shootings

[Ciggavelli]

Trump condemns 'racism, bigotry and white supremacy' after weekend of mass shootings

I know politics are rarely mentioned in the Arcadium, but now video games are getting blamed again for violence (with no evidence provided). I hope this doesn't turn into a situation like we saw in the 90s.

I was thinking about this earlier... with the rise in these domestic terrorist shootings. We all grew up through the gaming ages and were here before the online aspect came into play. I'm sure there will be some research and analysis on how much of an impact gaming helped create the climate this country is in now.

For the most part, whether it's a game, movie, TV show or social media, we all have been desensitized to violence to some degree.

There was a breh walking around that Walmart posting IG Stories with shots ranging off in the background. That shyt isn't normal.

Like someone posted on Twitter; I’m paraphrasing

The rest of the world has video games, but mass shootings (epidemic) are a purely American problem.

True.

To play devil's advocate, some places heavily sensor censor the games that release.

Which is easily countered by some places having even less censorship (that's right, it's with a C, fool ) and even dramatically less mass shootings.

It's clearly the video games that's causing mass shootings, not the emboldened white nationalists rearing their ugly head due to Trump's blatant racism fueling cac incels.


I mean, look at all the mass shootings that's happening in Europe, Canada and Asia.

The places that censor video games often censor things related to sex and nudity, not violence. The video games causes mass shootings rhetoric is a deflection from the real problem(White supremacy/lax gun laws).

No. It hasn’t. Remember public executions used to be a seen as a fun family outing.

Media ain’t got shyt to do with people committing and being drawn to violence.
