The irony here is hilarious. I’m a registered republican. Yes, look up my search history I’ve stated this multiple times over the yrs. In an attempt to stereotype lowest common denominators you can’t even do that properly. Not everyone that stands up against a liar with little moral grounds is a lefty. Some of us have values and aren’t willing to toss them out @Realjad . Yes dems have problems. Yes Chicago has a crime problem. The issue is that every time, and this is usually the case since it’s some “mentally disturbed” white dude going on a shooting rampage we hear about good people on both sides. Every time there is a brown person we hear about justification for some immigration reforms and a tweet storm with “I told you so s”. I’m a divider? Don’t you think it’s extremely sad that you are holding me to higher standards than the POTUS you guys suck off? Take a step back and look at what you’ve written. I’m actually agreeing with some of the points you are making btw.
Oh, we'd get the president talking about immigration reform and muslim bans surely. I wonder where all the right-wing gaming grifters are at? They usually attack like a beehive whenever someone attacks their hobby but I guess that's only when 'SJWs' threaten to make the main character a woman. When conservative politicians talk about doing something about video games silence.
Huh? Please site one where the perpetrator can be quoted of stating their inspiration. Remember, we're talking mass killings.
Oh please, nobody is saying you don't condemn violence. You're using another strawman (like you do over guns---which actually prevents any conversation about gun control) . You've had a slew of threads where you had outrage (the most I've seen from you) over a black female playing a 007 character. I mean, have you seen your posts regarding college kids on campuses that are "mean" to people with MAGA hats? Just in the other thread you showed your ignorance on the topic. "good people on both sides" and xenophobic rhetoric contributes to this, you defend such rhetoric instead of condemning it.The man you staunchly defend at every turn promotes that thought routinely and has rallies that are a nest and breeding ground for this thinking. I hope that you can condemn this thinking both in and out of the forum.
He tried to do that when one Hispanic guy stalked and killed a girl a few years back. Real Republicans need to take back their party and give us the real two party system that works. Not this distorted, racist, mysoginistic version of the GOP that normalizes gun violence and promotes xenophobia.
If he actaully had any understanding of the issues he would realize it isn't the actual games that radicalize our 15-25 year old white male demographic, it's the massive amount of "anti-sjw" gaming youtube channels that exist that I'm sure posters such as @dachuda86 and @mick fry are very familiar with. Online gamer culture can often be an in for right wing radicalization of youth.
While the people that frequent the gaming channels may be a problem, I don't think we can blame the games themselves.
Definitely. It has nothing to do with the games themselves. In fact the premise of most of these right wing anti-sjw gaming YouTube channels is that the gaming industry has been taken over by sjws and feminists.
Damn lol. I thought they were foul mouthed punk kids that make me want to do this, rather than them being "right wing radicals". A Toxic Culture does not equal radicalization. I guess after a certain age (post-college) it becomes less cute or mainstream tolerated (alt-right chic), but it's not like there's some consistent profile for online-gamer-right-wing-radical-yutes riddling holes into public areas (euphemism emphasized for snowflake connies) This just harkens back to the post-Columbine paranoia of rap music and violent games being the root of all evil.
Like I said before, this has nothing to do with the games themselves. In fact the YouTube anti-sjw bubble thinks modern gaming industry has been infested with "feminazis and multiculturalism". There are hinds of gaming centric YouTube channels dedicated to "exposing the plight of social marxism".
Bit ironic for me to tell you this, but just because racist or radical groups shroud popular forms of mainstream culture (games, movies, patriotism, religion(!) ) into their propaganda doesn't always mean that it's the sole representation of that culture. One could argue GamerGate is the same manifestation of your premise, but I'm not seeing it as a pattern from all the other Senseless American Mass Casualty Events of The Week*. If a yute who fits your profile starts physically attacking several women in the name of gaming, well ****...this world sucks even more A == B B != A *PC phrasing for sensistive Cons
As someone employed in IT that works on Linux boxes sometimes, would rather keep it MAGA over Redhat. No need to associate MAGA idiots with a stable operating system. Same deal with white and black hats. Lets keep IT terminology away from MAGA idiots.
