I'm astonished by what the media is doing; specifically, the news, paper or television.
The recent shooting in the school (you know which one I'm talking about) is more or less being exploited for money by newspapers and shows. Instead of directing any attention to the victims of these school shootings, they're instead describing the killer in VERY accurate detail, practically down to weapon usage and numbers, like they're the anti-heroes of the nation, because they think that talking about the murderer only is what people REALLY want to hear.
It's made even worse by the fact that they're blaming this mainly on the form of media called video games. Mhm. I recall seeing reports about this.
I can not even say how many times I've gotten my piss into a boil hearing some smooth talking bastard on TV blaming the cause of murders like this on video games. It's not just like that where I live too, either. The whole Adam Lanza case tried to focus more on what made him shoot the kids (and ignore the fact that he practically went off to cuckoo land when it came to his mind), and, after watching a video on TB's opinion, went into a moment of rage hearing that some assholes tried to blame the fact on his favorite game. I'm gonna take the quote directly:
"Chillingly, his favorite video game was said to be a shockingly violent fantasy war game called Dynasty Warriors which is thought to have given him inspiration to act on his darkest thoughts."
So Dynasty Warriors, a game series that most of the time the enemies don't actually (usually) die when being mobbed to death, a game series that doesn't even show blood or decapitation of any kind... is a shockingly violent fantasy game that can inspire people to act on their dark inner thoughts.
Nope, I see no problem here. DEFINETELY NOT A PROBLEM HERE, AM I RIGHT OR WHAT?
It's funny, because there are statistics saying the video games are usually hardly even the cause of excessive crime. It actually, more often than not, boils down to other media or simply things they've done themselves, such as writing books and making videos.
And, if I'm to believe TotalBiscuit's information once again, the news media is doing this because the games industry is giving them a slow but clear decrease in money and profit. So, let me get this straight, news media. Because the games industry is gaining power over you, you're using news on very specific details about murderers, the blame of media such as video games and the death of innocent children to gain profit and attention. Fuck you.
Fuck you, fuck you and fuck you.
