| In the spirit of Stormfag or Social Justice Warrior, there is a quiz here called Anita Sarkeesian or Jack Thompson. | |
| Let's try it. | |
| We have a nation of children in schools who spent hundreds of hours on mass murder machines that teach them it's glamorous that it's fun to kill human beings. | |
| That sounds like Jack Thompson. | |
| There you go. | |
| Video games are art imitating life, and you get a bleedover of life imitating art. | |
| That sounds like the sort of thing Sarkeesian would say. | |
| Damn. | |
| Almost every school shooter is immersed in violent entertainment. | |
| Now, I'm certain this is Thompson because it didn't mention men. | |
| Ha! | |
| Games don't just entertain. | |
| Intentional or not, they always express a certain set of values that present us with concepts of normalcy. | |
| Sounds like Sarkeesian, doesn't it? | |
| It's dangerously irresponsible to be creating games in which players are encouraged and even required to perform violence. | |
| I'm guessing that's Thompson. | |
| Damn. | |
| Could have been either one, couldn't it? | |
| We need to seriously address connections between violence, sexism, and toxic ideas of... | |
| Yeah, okay, thanks Anita. | |
| Are you crazy? | |
| People are threatening to kill me. | |
| Either report what I've said, having been provided the emails, or stop bothering me. | |
| I'm guessing that's Thompson. | |
| Yeah, they both got death threats, obviously, because Jack Thompson was a woman. | |
| Grand Theft Auto is the gravest assault on children in this country since polio. | |
| Now, I don't think Anit Sarkeesian is old enough to remember polio. | |
| Ha. | |
| If you get started playing violent video games, you're more likely to copycat the behaviours in the game. | |
| Jack Thompson? | |
| Again, could have been either one. | |
| Brutal violence has been normalized and glamorised and celebrated in gaming for so long. | |
| Sounds like Macintosh to me. | |
| Oh. | |
| Wow, that really sounded like Macintosh as well. | |
| Fucking Jesus. | |
| Wow, 7 out of 10, I... | |
| Hey, I've been saying it. | |
| Their arguments are the same. |
