I find it amazing that Republicans still try to blame movies and video games for school shootings. Remind me again of how these people are the pro-freedom of speech side?
When they try to ban them, let me know.
When government officials claim that we need to stop mass shootings and then point the finger at the media, it’s dangerous and can have a chilling effect.
The argument that troubled individuals engaging in simulated violence can lead to real life violence is plausible.
It’s still nonsense. The best-selling games in the world are violent, and we only see these mass-shootings in the US. It doesn’t happen in any other civilized country that has the exact same games we have. It’s just a way to redirect away from guns, which is the real issue.
There is something to be said for the effect of a poor mental diet on one’s choices.
It doesn’t matter, though, because we all have the right to a poor mental diet.
