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.
I guess RWS can add a ‘Kennedy Mode’ to Postal2 Redux. (in reference to the previous lowest difficulty, Liebermode, named after Senator Joe Lieberman.)
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.
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.
Hear me out…James Tiberius Kirk was supposed to be a descendant of Charles Aswipe Kirk. Slowly these photos will fade away and be replaced by photos of Christopher Pike.
You mean the same dumbass that blames an ingredient that hasn’t been in vaccines in over 20 years for Autism, an ingredient that has never been shown to cause autism in the first place? Does anyone actually take this jackass seriously?

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.
it’s guns.
Ask Jack Thompson how that line of reasoning worked out for him
This man is an absolute moron, him saying this is no different from the uneducated garbage he’s been spewing

Dogs or pigs?
They’re all beasts… Yarnam is done for…
Do not lie to yourself hunter, it calls to you just as it calls to all of us. The need for blood the call of the hunt.
Throws spider Patches into the Walmart
Jesus K Rist he is stupid.
Better loosen gun laws some more, that’ll fix it.
God. Are we back on this loop again?!! Incidentally what is the most selling game currently?
A game about a bug with a needle? Super violent.

RFK Jr. is the epitome of The Weekly World News.
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.

Not sure if this is the type of reaction post appropriate here.
Funny, Hillary Clinton said the same thing.
And Tipper Gore in the 90s.
Not this again…

Then we’d be in a timeline where Spock dies instead, which ends up much worse. (per Strange New Worlds)
He has two kids. Maybe one of his daughters hands her last name down
I concur
Back to the 90s.

Bobby Kennedy must be rolling over in his grave.
