Gaming the Blame: Trump and the Press vs. Video Games

It's times like these where I whole heartedly disagree with Trump (including over Net Neutrality and climate change), and let it remind me that he is quite an idiot in spite of his good intentions. That and people are using the same ol' garbage "video games cause X" arguments, of which I've noted time and again isn't true. And yes I should I am quite supportive of Trump since IMO well he is slightly more desirable than Clinton was in 2016 and I hope for the best (and he sort is trying) but I should stop here and of course not let that stop you from hearing me out, since well I don't care if you hate Trump or not (and of course I've made a resolution to keep politics at a minimum for the sake of not just my mental health but also my safety).

So anyway, the point is, the gaming "journalists" and of course the "wonderful" Ms. Sarkeesian, who have made some truly wonderus "commentaries" on video games for like over 6 years now are speaking out against the US president by simply "defending" games, as if they did in spite of the contrary.

....

Like wow, can they sink any lower; it's bad enough that they claim that games these days make you sexist violent Neo-Nazi Alt Righter (or pehaps that should be Paleo-Nazis? heh I digress) s--tlords who want to start a Fourth Reich and make people have respect for ISIS (because reasons??) and now they simply change their tune into thinking that's no so because someone who is obviously on the rightwing spectrum says something that agrees with their prior viewpoints. I mean at least Trump is consistent in being anti-video games back in 2012 with that one tweet about games making kids "monsters" and he's saying that stupid nonsense now. And I say, just stick with building walls, draining swamps, fighting fake news, and of course giving people lots o' jobs, I don't care if people yell at you for them (though their more screwier "arguments" can go to the shredder). However, I will direct much of my anger towards the gaming "press" and their ilk and crackpots like Sarkeesian in this case. Why? because they're the ones that are in on trying to make games to be a force of evil and yet they are supposed to be for gaming and are gamers too. I shake my head at this blatant hypocrisy and I say to them: f--k off and f--k your "opposing" views on Trump blaming games for the recent shooting in that Florida high school. Sure his view is s--t and but don't expect us gamers to come to your side when you turn around and disagree with him not out of caring about the gaming hobby but as a political ploy, to push agendas; that and declaring us the gaming community to be either "dead" or "evil" when trying to cover a certain controversy that sparked what might as well be the Afghan-Soviet War of gaming culture.

Hell in fact, I'll let Kizuna-chan speak for me:


And of course the Pop Team gals:



















Hmm, this is the second time I got near dropping f-bombs here (and both touched the line and had middle fingers on full display), but I have too since well nobody needs to mess with gaming, not from some politicans (regardless of how well-intentioned they are) to scummy ideologues that think games need to be "PC" to supposedly evolve.

Speaking of which Trump is to meet up with the video game developers, of which would hopefully enlighten him on how gaming isn't some malevolent factor in recent tragedies, but then again he's about 72 years as of this post and my mother told me about how old people are hard to change. Oh and things are getting pretty hairy, with students of some other school in Florida disposing some of their games they consider violent, like wow, I guess suckers are born every minute (just like the people who bought the "PS4s" and downloaded Metal Slug Attack). I mean wouldn't that reinforce the false claim that video games cause violence and s--t? Talk about gullible.

But hey at least the age limit to buy guns has been raised from 18 to 21 in Dick's and Wal-Mart, and I'm like why now after like a couple other shootings in recent years? I just don't get society sometimes, especially since people need to look into the mentally ill aspect of committing shootings, of which the guy clearly was not right in the head in doing so.
