Too bad Trump isn't smart because unlike video games there is a legit argument that the glorification of school shooters by the news ("Herostratic fame" is the classical reference apparently) encourages the phenomenon. Considering "gamers" are aligned with Trump while the news is his enemy...
But it is serving as a distraction. I bet he could literally announce he was going to hold a Distraction and that would actually work.

Yeah, Im familiar with this paper since it comes up in these discussions all the time. Could you please cite which part of it supports this claim:

I trust a bunch of dead people in Ephesus 2000 years ago to figure this shit out a hell of a lot more than I trust baby boomers, gen X-ers, and millenials.
He is just proposing random shit until the heat let's off. Guns in teachers, teasing gun control measures, now video games, nothing is going to happen from any of it. Some of these distractions though might finally hurt him among his base.
I'm disappointed. This is noob shit. At least add some linkin park, effects, and match cuts. This is a very lazy montage and if it was anyone other than the President posting it would get like 5 views.
One of the Call of Duty games had a campaign level called “No Russian” in which you shot up an airport full of unarmed civilians. The hand-wringing groups wrung their hands as expected, but generally the drama was quite minor.
If I'm not mistaken this made big time news because right before the game was released there was an actual mass shooting at an airport. I could be completely wrong but I seem to remember there being something around the time that game was released.
I mean, it was quite big drama back in the day. It was all over the news. Keep in mind this was back when CoD was by far the biggest game in the world.
In Call of Duty Modern Warfare you play an undercover American who has embedded himself with a Russian terrorist organization. The terrorists decide to attack a civilian airport and they are trying to frame it like an an American Supported attack so they tell everyone "Remember, No Russian" (so as not to give themselves away).
As the player you are suppose to maintain your cover by doing what they ask. During the level you can either shoot the civilians, or shoot around them (giving the appearance that you are shooting them when in reality its the other terrorists doing it).
At the end of the level it turns out the Russian Terrorists knew you were an American the whole time and they shoot you in the head and drive away. Since Russian authorities find an American body at the airport they assume the US is directly responsible and then shit just goes from there until Russia invades New York City and Washington DC in CoD 3.
dumbass the entire of MW 2 is about the invasion of washington dc, the counter attack is in MW3 which takes place mainly in europe.
as a guy named Ramirez from the NOVA area it took me awhile to realize it wasn't the makers of COD being amazing developers that had missions for every different user based on location and also had fully voiced for every different last name.
Wait, the last CoD game I played was a 360 launch game, so I never really paid attention to this nonsense. Are you saying the actual plot to MW2 was Russians faking a terrorist attack as supported by Americans while secretly being really supported by Americans? So the Russians were right all along?
that last part was hard as shit when you could barely see the swat team.
thats the worst part about MW2 the enemies were always located in the worst fucking places. its supposed to be this fast paced shooter and in places like the favelas they keep spawning fucking everywhere.
its not that bad, i just used the granade launcher a lot and hid behind stuff and lucked it out by running to the end point. the way the level is designed they don't walk into an area around the end point so you can just sprint there and hopefully not die in the hail of bullets. it then immediately goes into the end scene
Personally I think vidya games led to the creation of the "milady" gamer crowd.
So let's ban the vidya, give everyone a rifle, and have the Trump Training Brigade! We can even do this nifty goose walk thing that Hans introduced us to.
Im actually surprised how quiet Reddit has been about both of these. The various political subs have gotten a little upset and cranky, but the video games cause violence trope has caused site wide violence in the past.
but the video games cause violence trope has caused site wide violence in the past.
I hope it happens again, this is truly the best President we've ever had for Drama, I can't wait for 2030 when Barron spices together another one of these montages for the games he's playing only for research
can you imagine how terrible the Hilary timeline is for drama. there is probably a ban on memes by this point. Colbert probably killed himself after the late show gets canceled because his ratings only rose because trump won.
As if Colbert wouldnt make jokes about Hillary. He'd just do Colbert Report again and get a healthy audience of people who get the joke and people who think he is serious.
It's what people do when someone on 'their side' does something wrong. Just find any reason to bitch about the other side so they don't have to confront it.
the problem is reddit banned everyone that cared enough about vidya or guns back when Anita wanted to ban both 3 years ago.
its amazing how quickly reddit's mainstream views changed. this time 2 years ago the entire front page would have been covered in posts praising Obama if he decided to get into a trade war, because Bernie was campaigning on tariffs and against globalism all that other bullshit. Also a bit odd that no one seems to remember that

Because jack shit is actually going to be done about video games. The current government is so parslyzed by scandal, turnover and infighting that hardly anything is actually getting done (which is perfect in my opinion). They can't pass important legislation, so there is not a snowball's chance in hell they will waste time trying to debate or vote on trivial bullshit like video game violence. Not gonna happen.

I dunno man, I suspect a whole lot of teenage boys are going to be upset as their hysterical mother criticizes their video games once this thing finishes playing out. That usually leads to more angry posting on Reddit.
Well, the video has ZERO context. I watched it, and to me it just looked like a chipshow of some awesome game moments. As near as I can tell, the White House is saying I should totally try these games out.
but the video games cause violence trope has caused site wide violence in the past.
The people who flip out over stuff like this are largely on subs like KIA and support trump. They won't flip out unless trump takes direct action (and will probably try to rationalize that too if he does)
the one good thing about trump is he flip flops like a fucking maniac. in six months he will probably be demanding mandatory FPS classes and firearms training for all kids in elementary school
trumps gonna say all sorts of shit the media will agree with and laugh as they bend their brains in knots trying to decide if they can agree with him or not
what’s he gonna do? he knows Americans fucking LOVE violent entertainment, he doesn’t stand anything to gain here other than making the media look like idiots for the umpteenth time
Yeah, Trump is starting to use the same tactics Sarkeesian has used so I'm 100% against him on this issue. Trying to see how this all pans out, but if he starts screwing up badly enough, I won't vote for him or support him again.
One of them legit says that random feminist blogger Anita Sarkeesian has more influence over the game industry than President Donald Trump. These people are scared of women to a degree I didn't know was possibles.
its almost like they are a right wing subreddit or something.
I really do love remembering 3 years ago all the people on there making comments about how suddenly Breitbart is the best news website, and 100% trustworthy and how awful liberals are for not understanding that women and minorities don't belong
that was so funny. all the talk about Based Milo, and then he did an entirely predictable thing and threw them under the bus when he was done with them. their shock that he wasn't a true believer was great viewing.
do they still get really triggered when someone points out their bias?
With this Trump is risking to lose his oldest and most fierce supporters the GAMERS. Trump may not be aware, but he is plays with fire. Our Power and wrath is unpreceded. We are willing to drop everything in pursuit of our goals. Obstacles which are insurmountable for others are cleared by us with us, enemies who seem unbeatable are mere NPCs for us. Do not try us Blonald Jay Grumpf...

Black people music is in no way comparable to the damage video games do to kids, we literally have a generation of fat angry snowflakes because their parents decided to let video games raise them.
you have to admit, if you're not a psychopath this montage is not exactly easy to watch, even if you've played these games and done this shit yourself.
Did anyone here play MW2 "No Russian" and NOT think "damn man that was fucked up"?
I mean, in the same way that watching Saw makes me uncomfortable or reading the murders in American Psycho makes me uncomfortable.
Sometimes media want to invoke a certain feeling, whether that be in the service of entertainment or art. And tbh I definitely don't feel any reservations with watching Nazis be brutally murdered... its kinda embarrassing anyone would try to prove otherwise
B...b...but in Sniper Elite you should only go for liver shots! It's inhumane to kill actual literal (virtual) WW2 German Hitler-oath-swearing krauts by shooting them through the head!
To be honest, "No Russian" was supposed to be fucked up, it's only later you realise you can pass the level without killing a single civilian, which could be cause for some genuine self-reflec-
It started with shooting centipedes, jousting with birds, throwing newspapers ate rednecks from a bicycle, eating pills and ghosts, and I said nothing...
We're a group of people who will sit for hours, days, even weeks on end performing some of the hardest, most mentally demanding tasks. Over, and over, and over all for nothing more than a little digital token saying we did.
We'll punish our selfs doing things others would consider torture, because we think it's fun.
We'll spend most if not all of our free time min maxing the stats of a fictional character all to draw out a single extra point of damage per second.
Many of us have made careers out of doing just these things: slogging through the grind, all day, the same quests over and over, hundreds of times to the point where we know evety little detail such that some have attained such gamer nirvana that they can literally play these games blindfolded.
Do these people have any idea how many controllers have been smashed, systems over heated, disks and carts destroyed 8n frustration? All to latter be referred to as bragging rights?
These people honestly think this is a battle they can win? They take our media? We're already building a new one without them. They take our devs? Gamers aren't shy about throwing their money else where, or even making the games our selves. They think calling us racist, mysoginistic, rape apologists is going to change us? We've been called worse things by prepubescent 10 year olds with a shitty head set. They picked a fight against a group that's already grown desensitized to their strategies and methods. Who enjoy the battle of attrition they've threatened us with. Who take it as a challange when they tell us we no longer matter. Our obsession with proving we can after being told we can't is so deeply ingrained from years of dealing with big brothers/sisters and friends laughing at how pathetic we used to be that proving you people wrong has become a very real need; a honed reflex.
Gamers are competative, hard core, by nature. We love a challange. The worst thing you did in all of this was to challange us. You're not special, you're not original, you're not the first; this is just another boss fight.

Hillary voted for Neutral Milk Hotel "In The Aeroplane Over The Sea" as best album of the past 20 years in Pitchfork.
Trump voted for Winger. Just the band. And it was asked by a rando wearing a MAGA hat.

One of them legit says that random feminist blogger Anita Sarkeesian has more influence over the game industry than President Donald Trump. These people are scared of women to a degree I didn't know was possibles.

I really do love remembering 3 years ago all the people on there making comments about how suddenly Breitbart is the best news website, and 100% trustworthy and how awful liberals are for not understanding that women and minorities don't belong
1 pilchard_slimmons 2018-03-09
that was so funny. all the talk about Based Milo, and then he did an entirely predictable thing and threw them under the bus when he was done with them. their shock that he wasn't a true believer was great viewing.
do they still get really triggered when someone points out their bias?

With this Trump is risking to lose his oldest and most fierce supporters the GAMERS. Trump may not be aware, but he is plays with fire. Our Power and wrath is unpreceded. We are willing to drop everything in pursuit of our goals. Obstacles which are insurmountable for others are cleared by us with us, enemies who seem unbeatable are mere NPCs for us. Do not try us Blonald Jay Grumpf...

I am neither willing nor able to purchase a wedding ring with the intent of offering it to a woman. I would prefer to go out and purchase pricey denim jeans manufactured by the famous fashion designer Balmain.

Black people music is in no way comparable to the damage video games do to kids, we literally have a generation of fat angry snowflakes because their parents decided to let video games raise them.

you have to admit, if you're not a psychopath this montage is not exactly easy to watch, even if you've played these games and done this shit yourself.

I mean, in the same way that watching Saw makes me uncomfortable or reading the murders in American Psycho makes me uncomfortable.
Sometimes media want to invoke a certain feeling, whether that be in the service of entertainment or art. And tbh I definitely don't feel any reservations with watching Nazis be brutally murdered... its kinda embarrassing anyone would try to prove otherwise
1 Redactor0 2018-03-09
B...b...but in Sniper Elite you should only go for liver shots! It's inhumane to kill actual literal (virtual) WW2 German Hitler-oath-swearing krauts by shooting them through the head!

No Russian, No Russian. You're the Russian.
1 cunt_faced_retard 2018-03-09
To be honest, "No Russian" was supposed to be fucked up, it's only later you realise you can pass the level without killing a single civilian, which could be cause for some genuine self-reflec-
Uh, no wait let me try that again:
Fuck off manchild.

Only real cherrypicking I see is using No Russian, which you're warned about like 8 times before playing and fully allowed to skip.
Everything else is just violent games being violent and Trump apparently thinking that matters.

Trump targeted gamers.
Gamers.
We're a group of people who will sit for hours, days, even weeks on end performing some of the hardest, most mentally demanding tasks. Over, and over, and over all for nothing more than a little digital token saying we did.
We'll punish our selfs doing things others would consider torture, because we think it's fun.
We'll spend most if not all of our free time min maxing the stats of a fictional character all to draw out a single extra point of damage per second.
Many of us have made careers out of doing just these things: slogging through the grind, all day, the same quests over and over, hundreds of times to the point where we know evety little detail such that some have attained such gamer nirvana that they can literally play these games blindfolded.
Do these people have any idea how many controllers have been smashed, systems over heated, disks and carts destroyed 8n frustration? All to latter be referred to as bragging rights?
These people honestly think this is a battle they can win? They take our media? We're already building a new one without them. They take our devs? Gamers aren't shy about throwing their money else where, or even making the games our selves. They think calling us racist, mysoginistic, rape apologists is going to change us? We've been called worse things by prepubescent 10 year olds with a shitty head set. They picked a fight against a group that's already grown desensitized to their strategies and methods. Who enjoy the battle of attrition they've threatened us with. Who take it as a challange when they tell us we no longer matter. Our obsession with proving we can after being told we can't is so deeply ingrained from years of dealing with big brothers/sisters and friends laughing at how pathetic we used to be that proving you people wrong has become a very real need; a honed reflex.
Gamers are competative, hard core, by nature. We love a challange. The worst thing you did in all of this was to challange us. You're not special, you're not original, you're not the first; this is just another boss fight.
