Woo-hoo! Journalism Fail!

Damn, they found out. Maybe that's the reason SE didn't want to release the Meteor shirts since it would serve as a clear identification of their faithful minions and foil their plan to slaughter innocent citizens in the name of the Twelve! /sarcasm

The reason this shit keeps happening is because gamers are less likely to fight back unlike some lobbies. Any intelligent human being knows it's not the games that are at fault here. The rest will just believe anything they are fed, like the sheep they are.

governments and other news agencies will continue to use video games as a scape goat. Politicians refuse to address the real problem because addressing the real issues is either 1 expensive or 2 politically risky or in many cases both. It is a failure of the political system where people care about thier job next election instead of doing the right thing. News agencies want better ratings and the grandmas and old people who still think video games are for ages 12-18 only do not get the new age so they eat up this bs. So the Call of Duty killed a room full of people arguments come up, and the now FF killed someone.

Reporters who report this crap should be fired on the spot. All based on Bias and no facts, goes against what journalism is all about.

The war on video games is sad, but proves the stupidity/ignorance of people around the world.

That's not bad.

Last week Ralph Nader called video game developers "electronic child molesters".

Scapegoating videos games for social issues seems to be popular.

And before that it was movies, then comic books, novels, the church of England have records of blaming Shakespeare for random social depravity. Scapegoating is denial and socially denial is the norm...

All videogames are evil, didn't you know? You think you're playing Harvest Moon, planting some veggies...but really you're selling your soul to Satan!!! BLUUARGHABLAGHARGHAAAAGH!!!!

Did you see this one, the guy that wrote a bill to ban violent video games that got struck down by the supreme court was going off on games and gamers again.

Leland Yee a CA senator says

"Gamers have got to just quiet down, Gamers have no credibility in this argument. This is all about their lust for violence and the industry's lust for money. This is a billion-dollar industry. This is about their self-interest."

Until they can find a concrete link, I don't think they can logically do anything about violence in the media. Logically. Then again, the government is run by humans, and humans are imperfect (politicians even more so). It's enough to make me fantasize a real-life Dalamud crashing down on us.

this kind of crap will exist until the current generation is supplanted from power by the next one, who will then look to a newer form of media to place the blame

I wonder what the next "you damn kids and your rock and roll" will be
