What happened to ol jack. I’m really hoping he got ran over by a arcade cabinet? Just looked and he is still kicking. He is also still hating that no one cares what he thinks.
In 2024, years after his disbarment from practicing law, as well as his notoriety with gamers fading with the passage of time, Jack Thompson had appeared to have denounced his disdain for video games. On an interview with the My Perfect Console podcast, Thompson praised video games for helping out disabled people with their interactive nature.[50][51][52][53][54][55]
Jack Thompson? Haven’t heard much since he got disbarred! What was the blog I used to always read about him on… Can’t recall! Wasn’t he actually beefing with them?
I wonder if classification has made the mass shooting numbers look different. In the 90s I remember everyone just blamed gangs. Shoot out in a parking lot, “they were probably in a gang.”. But soon as you list gun violence under gang related, it no longer falls under mass shooting according to the FBI and such. So even if 6 people get killed, that incident wouldn’t show up.
Today I rarely see people lumping acts into something like that.
Literally today when Kirk was gently relieved from the laborious task of breathing air meant for people better than him, when someone asked “how many mass shootings have there been in the last ten years”, his response was “excluding gang violence?”
So explain why violent crimes plummeted when PlayStation and GTA came out. It’s lead poisoning from leaded gasoline. We cut that out and it’s been trending down. If violent video games have any impact, it’s likely to reduce physical violence instead of increase it.
I wonder if we can actually use this to our advantage. Microsoft paid $60billion for one of the most popular violent games, CoD. Can we force them to choose between political pressure or money?
Not unless these guns are stolen which they often do.
Could also signify a difference in culture or how guns are treated.
If I have 10 guns, I might as well have one on me, one in my car, and one for my dog.

I kind of have the feeling GTA 6 is going to be neutered and Rockstar is a huge target for this admin. Fingers crossed tho

WELL AINT THAT SOME SHIT
We all knew it was performative.

The same shit for my whole fucking life. It’s amazing.

Yawn
So along that line of logic, does all media with graphic violence cause murderous tendencies?
Just read an article today saying video games do not make peops violent. Am I the only boomer that likes to play violent and not violent vidya games?
Sheesh.

Authoritarian demands always corrupt: nah.
My bad…I ate the last goddamn neuron in this assholes head
My condolences on your imminent starvation
Well at least they finally trained someone to be a good shot
I blame the Bible for mass shootings, and I guarantee that there is more evidence to support my claim than his.
Ban the bible!
Hilarious. The GoobaGators are silencing anyone posting this over in KIA. I thought they hated this stuff?
KIA?
r/KotakuInAction the Nazi hide out.
Funny thing about their Nazi problem. Is they deny people are Nazi’s after they post 1488 bullshit. It’s pathetic.
How is 120 per capita (USA) comparable to 26?
120 guns per American (ie per capita) vs 26 guns per Swiss??
According to TFA:
So the number of owners is similar, which is probably more meaningful than the absolute number of guns.
Not unless these guns are stolen which they often do. Could also signify a difference in culture or how guns are treated. If I have 10 guns, I might as well have one on me, one in my car, and one for my dog.
But I agree it might be comparable
