President Trump: We have to do something about violent video games, movies"
In a White House meeting held with lawmakers on the theme of school safety, President Donald Trump offered both a direct and vague call to action against violence in media by calling out video games and movies.

"We have to do something about what [kids are] seeing and how they're seeing it," Trump said during the meeting. "And also video games. I'm hearing more and more people say the level of violence on video games is shaping more and more people's thoughts."

Is Trump right about video games and movies having a negative influence on people?

we demonize sex but are cool with violence so that leads to a fun situation where no one talk about sex leading to untold accidental pregnancies while people shoot whoever the fuck they please because when people are shot all anyone knows is they just kinda yelp and lay down

I believe exposure to violent media can certainly have a negative effect on behavior, but its all about when you are exposed to it, and how it is addressed in the moment.

To think that a lot of this alt-right movement started because feminists criticized female video game character design and toxic gaming culture.

If you're talking about Gamergate, that started because of the weirdly coordinated attacks on gaming that happened whilst censoring criticism of a specific woman tangentially related to "gaming"

I guarantee you a lot of people never would have even heard of the initial conflict if the pushback and attempt to silence it hadn't been so disproportionately heavy-handed, which in turn proved there was merit there. Anita essentially being an opportunistic con artist didn't help.

A bit hypocritical of him since he used to show up on WWF and beat up Vince McMahon. But that's how it goes, violence among children so blame Mortal Kombat, Beavis and Butthead and Marilyn Manson. Another empty comment from another politician that won't amount to anything in the end.

I saw it happen in real time dude.

I get that a lot of people on the left have had a vested interest in rewriting this bit of history, but it wasn't exactly THAT long ago and plenty of people still remember what the early parts of it were like.

People like Anita and Zoe are pretty reprehensible people and are not the sorts of folks worth digging in your heels and fighting to the death for. They're opportunistic charlatans who've likely never helped anyone but themselves in their whole life. They're no champions of feminism or damsels in distress in need of defending.

people are fucking stupid dude, you can't just tell them to "pull out" or they'll finish inside the girl then pull out and think they're good

why do you think teen pregnancies are higher in states that are ranked lower in education?

Yep. Good luck getting any of these white knights who don't really know what the hell really went on during that time to admit that you're correct though. In all seriousness the beginning stages of "GamerGate" was literally a meme that just kept growing because of the insane response the initial trolls got from it.

It's actually reminiscent of the "it's okay to be white" thing in that regard, though I guess that never exploded to quite the same level.

Look at all this.

"You don't know what it was like! I was THERE!"

Forget you that you're on CE. We were all there, boyos. It was only five years ago. We're not a bunch of kids out here anymore.

Gamergate may not have spawned the alt-right, but it was certainly a birth pain. The death threat campaigns and the glorious fight against SJWs. Now who's rewriting history?

Sarkeesian may be a hack opportunist, but she had to be given the opportunity, which those assholes were all too willing to supply.

Death threats are not something unique to anti-feminism, anti-SJW, alt-right or whatever you want to complain about. Any extremism on any side on the internet seems to inevitably do it, and even fake it having been done to themselves.

The left is absolutely trying to rewrite history and perceptions on this. That should be obvious every time they try to lump in Gamergate, all of nerd culture and neo-nazism as all being one and the same.

It's a lot easier to win arguments and score political points when you just pretend everyone opposed to you is a laughable ineffective nerd dangerous threat to society nazi filled with impotence and hate.

I disliked AS with the rage of a 1000s suns. Well not that much that is little much. I hate her as much as I hated Jack Thompson .But it pissed me off that she was getting credibility. But don't like like there wasn't a bleed over between GG and hateful groups.
