How did he manage to hold a shotgun so incorrectly in that promo
Was tired from jumping over chairs
He's a non-gamer so he never learned how to do the violence
>lizard pretends to be human
That's what happens when you don't chant "of all time" enough times before you die.
1) What the frick does that even mean
2) What the FRICK possesses anyone to upload such revolting aislop
Of all the all-time games of all time, which of all of the all-time games of all time are all of the all-time greatest of all time games of all time?
Ignore him. He's been trying use those shitty images to start threads and they keep getting deleted.
Think about the optics of him holding the gun correctly.
critics of guns wouldn't know the difference
They probably told him that actually holding it correctly was a line that they couldn't cross and would make them liable for lawsuits.
>defendant claims he was merely carrying the firearm and not using it.
No one on set gave a shit, and Bill does not use guns nor play video games. He simply rapes children and does adrenochrome in his basement.
Video games do cause violence though.
No death metal and hip hop cause violence
That's been debunked, it's actually Yu-Gi-Oh cards
Those kids these days with their rap music and hula hoops!
this
i had a friend back in high school, nicest guy you'd ever meet, kind of quiet, stabbed my other friend dead over a game of mario party
I don't think that's the nicest guy I'd ever meet. Maybe in America.
video games make nice guys do bad things
Or maybe you just never understood him.
Pretty sure the underlying problems are psychological or medical, like
mentions. Otherwise every anon that played Vice City etc would be a violent murdering a-hole. That's not a global problem. Add in politics and religion to this test and...
>it only counts if 100% of people succumb
that's like saying a drug is safe because only 50% of people who took it died
Hyperbole anon. God damn.
The point is that there is no problem generally at all. If you already live in a violent shithole it isn't because of XXX folk devil game.
>every anon
>Hyperbole
Ok you are ESL then? Yes that was one clue, along with
>violent murdering a-hole
You could, of course look for examples online instead of making a further idiot of yourself.
Congrats, you found the hyperbole!
Yes. Every medium affects people's world view. That people refuse to apply this self evident concept that they already recognize with porn and political propaganda to video games is just pure copery
>Every medium affects people's world view
Yes, but only the dumbest morons would think it's as simple as "violent fiction makes you violent", "occult fiction makes you a satanist" and shit like that.
True, but most people can still filter it through their own discretion and worldview. It'll take far more than enjoying GTA or Doom to make someone a murderous criminal unless they were already fricked in the head to begin with. Political propoganda is more insidous as it's deliberately trying to manipulate you and make you believe it's narrative is true. Porn can be addictive from nutting to it too much, making your brain depend on it more for a dopamine fix.
Never tired of being wrong? *I* am the reason for all the violence of the world, since the beginning of time.
>B-but... How???
This world is a simulation created by me. I can do anything, just not everything.
>W-wha... What's even the point?
To prank you all and post it on my YouTube channel.
>Wtf? Are you insane? Why would you destroy your own world?
Duh! Are you that dense? It's for likes and subscribers, dumdum!
Something must have made you this way. Must be subliminal messages in Disney movies.
>Jack Thompson claims vidya causes violence
>Everyone tells him to frick off
>devs push envelope because media outrage = free marketing
>Thompson eventually disbarred for his homosexualry
>Things are fine
>Then modern sensibilities and isms come in
>Everyone too sensitive, even devs have to tone it down
>Even fricking companies like Rockstar and Running with Scissors
Jack Thompson won in the end.
Anon, independent studios from the 90s are now owned by galactic gigacorporations that insist on "all games must appeal to everyone and thereby appeal to no one" mentality.
>independent studios
they had publishers, moron
it was harder to publish back then
having a publisher is different from being owned by microsoft (formerly activision)
RWS got worse when they went independent. Probably because they have a hook nosed goblin man scrutinizing everything they do. Postal III was 100% their fault, everyone blames Trashmasters but that shitty reddit tier humor came directly from RWS
Was amusing, at the time. Nobody took it seriously besides moronic "actual" baby boomers or the elderly (silent/greatest generation types). Nowadays it's far more annoying because it's from people who have far more media presence than the religious right.
Religious zealots had less media presence but their censorship was far more oppressive.
lol
lmao even
Not even close. They couldn't get you banned from IRC channels unless you count your parents cutting the phone line or cancelling the internet.
holy shit this is a lot of wrong, they never got video games or cartoons or anything censored at all like modern leftoids
You obviously were not alive back then. Eidos used to make jokes about not including a nude code in Tomb Raider 3 and using actual porn actresses in their spreads and look at what they are now.
That's just talk, the actual content of the game was extremely tame.
Doom became the most controversial game in history when those people had a voice, nowadays it's five bucks on the Nintendy Switch store.
Compare Doom to other games of the era. You weren't alive then, so you don't know. As someone who grew up in that era, nobody paid them any attention at all. They were a joke and they had no real power.
>but muh chainsaw massacre and violent movies
>but muh nintendo
That was Nintendo of America which we all know is a piece of shit scam staffed by morons. Nobody even really cared about Doom until Columbine.
They had no power to censor anything besides what Nintendo of America forced. The censorship today is exponentially worse. Exponentially. You're either a fedora tipping atheist and triggered about a boogeyman that has no power over you or a queer who enjoys all this trans and gay representation shit.
>They had no power to censor anything besides what Nintendo of America forced
Who was NoA catering to with those changes? Do you think the million dollar company was doing extra work just because they unanimously shared the same values? Also games published by other companies on other platforms were censored too, for example Splatterhouse had to drop all the crosses and churches. This wouldn't happen today. Everyone feared backlash from the zealots.
>censorship today is exponentially worse.
Today characters can smoke, swear, have red blood, religions can be mentioned and portrayed. There's still work to do regarding sexuality (something a certain group of people raised us to abhor) but it's nowhere near as bad as it was in the 90s, where a nude marble statue in Castlevania was considered too indecent.
>you're either this or that or that or that or that
Make up your mind, I can't be ten strawmen at once.
i'd rather a translator change "god" to "alien" than insert troony shit and critical race theory
i actually grew up on the same street as the psychology professor who was the main proponent and originator of that argument, Brad Bushman. he also did contracting work for the department of defense, i happen to know, and (fun fact) also invented the word "hangry" to describe increased emotional lability while your blood sugar is low.
the years after columbine were good for Dr. Bushman. here is a sample of his work
>he also did contracting work for the department of defense
Ah, so it's one big projection. That work certainly helped kill more people than video games ever did.
>publishers in the early 90s
>>if you liked this shareware send cheque or money order to this P.O. box for a full retail copy
>publishers in the late 90s
>>hey we liked your game and we'll happily get it on K-Mart shelves in time for Christmas for a reasonable cut
>publishers in the 00s onwards
>>we just bought your studio and replaced the creative director, here's a list of changes we're making to the franchise, now do it
Opinions on Dusty Deevers and his quest to enact White Sharia Law?
How will it effect video games with mature themes?
Baptists and Evangelicals are unironically worse than conservative Muslims, and part of the reason this country is failing.
You can't regulate someone into being a productive human being. Get rid of porn and video games and people with low impulse control will move on to something else
Well Eric Harris was indeed religiously obsessed with DOOM and named his shotgun "Arlene" after a character from the 90s Doom novels.
Make of that what you will.
Reading novels makes people violent, got it
