Shade of idiot Jack Thompson with brain worm here.
Binding of Isaac is why I torture children /s
I guess RWS can add a ‘Kennedy Mode’ to Postal2 Redux. (in reference to the previous lowest difficulty, Liebermode, named after Senator Joe Lieberman.)
What’s old is new again…
No what’s old is running the government
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?
Bobby Kennedy must be rolling over in his grave.
Yeah unfortunately 40% of Americans do take this jackass seriously.
Crime in the US peaked in 1993… when Doom first came out. Then it started dropping until recently.
Conclusion: violent video games cause a drop in crime.
But it peaked the same year Doom came out. Obviously Doom was the cause of the peak!
I should add, that as less people played Doom, violent crime reduced.
Tap for spoiler
Ok no the double down will woosh someone, here’s your /s
Doom is a game made by a cultist where the player goes to hell to interact with demons!!!
Ban the Mormon made demon killing game!
So it’s a mass shooting now? Feels like a slap in the face to every other incident
Kirk was pretty dense.
If you’re referring to the Kirk shooting, this was before that.
Ohh gotcha
Ooh, so original. Going back to those age old talking points eh. So fresh, so new. Why does anyone listen to these wind bags?
Well he’s right.
Until the invention of video games no one ever killed anyone ever. Then pong came along, and it was mass murder every other day.
Proof:
I’m bout to pong yo eye out, mutha flicka!
Battlefield and CoD are responsible for war?
Oh jeez, I glad they didn’t have video games in 1914, otherwise they might have killed a bunch of people!
Yup, famously before that, violence didn’t exist at all.
No but his dad and uncle were still alive.
My dad and uncle are still alive though
Games of Mass Destruction
These guys were evil! 😯
“Yo, Charlie got PONGED”
Oh wow, we’re really hitting all the classics.
We’re almost back to blaming violence on D&D. Exciting times.
They’re communing with Satan, I hear!
We’ll get there, just give it time.
It’s those skateboards that done it, and the comic books the hooligans are readin. And all them lady folk wearin trousers! It’s the devil I tells ya!
We got time travel before GTA 6
Tipper Gore just got a tingling sensation in her naughty bits.
*If you saw the pre edit you’re welcome.
Aw man what’d I miss?
I wrote I’m her naughty bits instead of in because phones are dumb.
When you are trying to avoid the most obvious solutions at all costs, you have to recycle the greatest hits.
Can’t risk hinting that the policies that they push directly lead to the material conditions that cause these shootings.
Not this again…
Back to the 90s.
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.
He has two kids. Maybe one of his daughters hands her last name down
Then we’d be in a timeline where Spock dies instead, which ends up much worse. (per Strange New Worlds)
I concur
RFK Jr do better…Tylenol killed 7 people in the 90s, Kirk was obviously killed by Tylenol.
Remember when Coloumbine happened and politicians started blaming DOOM (a several year old game at that point) and Quake? Hell didn’t they also try to blame the Matrix simply because the shooters were wearing trench coats? meanwhile the film came out like what? one or two weeks before the shootings?
Politicians just LOVE their scapegoats.
this is so obviously false it’s enfuriating coming from the head of HHS. Lots of coutnries all over the world have the same violent video games we do without the mass shootings.
“Switzerland has a comparable number of guns as we do, and the last mass shooting they had was 23 years ago,” said Kennedy, 71. “We have a mass shooting every 23 hours.”
“There are many things that happened in the 1990’s that could explain these,” he added. “One is the dependence on psychiatric drugs… there could be connections with video games and social media.”
okaaaaaaay… follow that train of thought just a liiiiiitle bit further bobby. Do you think Switzerland is stuck in the 80s or something?
remember, that his bear cub incident was only 10-11years prior too.
train of thought
bobby
You got yourself in a cul-de-sac there. The worm ate the train long ago 😂
God damnit Bobby…
