I rly hate the Satanic Panic & the moral panic surrounding violence in video games in the 90s, coz it's now impossible to talk about the social implications of violent video games in a realistic sense.

No, violence in video games does not create serial killers in the way most people imagine it would.

However, it's very important to notice how after 9/11, a lot of violent video games pivoted their content from silly gratuitous cartoon gore to more realistic military shooters set in the Levant from a US American lens. It's also important to notice the connection of these games & their toxic online multi-player voice chats to Gamer Gate in 2014.

It's obviously not as black & white as it was presented in the 80s & 90s, I dont think everyone who played early Call of Duty games is a white supremacist who wants to join the military to kill people in the middle east, but I think it's dangerous to pretend like video games or any media can't have an impact on the way people think about violence.

I think what makes all the difference here is how that violence is portrayed, what the message behind it is, what the motives are behind the people who crafted that message, who the victims of that violence are, how they are portrayed & the greater cultural context that surrounds it.

few things make me so immediately indignant as watching a video of somebody who has gorgeous ray-tracing shaders on Minecraft, it looks amazing and super high quality, and checking the comments to see some asshole saying "This is what minecraft could be if Mojang was actually smart" like actually fuck off that's so painful to read.

something about how no matter what you do in life you will always end up inherently valuable in the eyes of a vulture.

worst thing ever is when people have the take that "Being able to complain about your lack of rights means you already have rights so you should just be happy".

Like if you know that protesting is illegal in some countries, and see people protesting in countries where it isn't, and your takeaway is that they should shut up and be happy you are wrong and need to talk to more activists or do more activism.

I have the absolute privilege of living in a place where I can be openly queer and protest and the government isn't (technically) allowed to do anything about that. Why in the fucking entire world, would I not fully exert my rights to do both of those things.

if you are the person who, on a video about the strike for gender equality in iceland, commented: "Being able to do this without fear is, in fact, equality. Be happy" I am stealing something from your fucking house
