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.

JEREMY FRAGRANCE - "My heart beats for Revachol, I want to have a girlfriend soon!" The well-groomed man beams at you. He has said these two things, one after the other, seamlessly, as if they are related somehow.

ELECTROCHEMISTRY - Oh, he's definitely on something. Ask him what he's on. It's got to be the good shit.

LOGIC - Let's not be too judgmental. He is not from here. Maybe this is normal behavior in.... wherever it is?

PERCEPTION - He smells amazing. Perhaps forgive him his eccentricities?

SAVOIR FAIRE - This suave motherfucker is wearing the hell out of that outfit! Ask him what he’s wearing!

JEREMY FRAGRANCE - "I am really preciously looking now for a girlfriend. I wanna find the right one.” He smiles, again, beatifically. His teeth are gleaming white.

DRAMA - He means it, sire.

EMPATHY - It’s been a long, long time.

HALF LIGHT - You need to get the fuck out of here immediately.

Fuck Israel and fuck everyone who still wants to pretend this is confusing or complicated. Is it really that hard to point out the "bad people" in a scenario where a multi-billion military apparatus is handcuffing and killing children and medical staff inside a fucking hospital?
