*Sigh* Another day, another a--hole decides to go shoot up some place with innocents for some distorted reason, in this case some dude who shoot up a gay bar in Orlando, Florida. It's almost routine for someone like me living in America in the 2010's where it seems to be a tradition to witness news reports of someone shooting up innocents for no good reason, and it's almost like I should just not care because it happens all the time but of course what good would that do? The least I can do is give my condolences to the people whose lives have been drastically effected by this disaster.
And of course, cover some people getting all politicized over this for no reason. If there's anything "political" to get nuts over it's the motive of the scumbag who have clearly shown to be sympathizing with ISIS and may have been committing a hate crime (too bad he died in a gunfight with cops during the shooting, I would have liked to see him get hanged but I digress). And by getting politicized I mean blame white cishet males and link video games to the tragedy. It always grinds my gears to see video games getting blamed for anything, including supposed misogyny. And what's bad about this is that it's the games media doing this not some dumb lawyers like Jack Thompson and all of this just before E3 begins. I mean no offense to the staff of the upcoming E3 showing solidarity with the victims with them having that pin with the rainbow flag, I'm fine with that, but how in the hell would those games be "insensitive" to the recent tragedies? If they are then what about the other tragedies that happened like the one in Belgium or Sandy Hook or that one in California? Jeez, talk about being over sensitive, unreal. Just stop acting like video games were somehow responsible for the reprehensible act of terrorism, the guy could have been a video game hater for as far as I care.
While I'm usually hesitant to do this given that this relates to a certain possibly never-ending controversy that should not be named but this dude sums up the crazy hypocrisy the games media is displaying: http://kukuruyo.com/comic/gamergate-life-81/
