Mar. 10th, 2018 01:50 pmFor some reason I'm subscribed to /r/gaming - I'm not sure why. What did I do wrong? Was I drunk or something when I hit that button?
Anyway, they're all so mad right now because people are talking about the link between shootings and violent video games. It has been non-stop I'M NOT A KILLER!
Don't get me wrong. I'm pretty sure that most of the coverage of this "link" is misinformed moral panic and that the real facts are getting twisted. But they're just so.... whiny about it.
And meanwhile, I'm thinking... the majority of you are utter trash to everyone else that's come under fire from the president. You're trash to ethnic minorities, to women, to LGBTQ+ folk. You whine about "identity politics" but suddenly people criticize GAMES and you fall back on your identity as a GAMER to pretend that you're being oppressed.
Sheesh.
