Hm.. 🤔 I think many (US) politicians got it all wrong.Instead of banning videogames that they think leads to gun violence.. How about we ban guns and only allow them in videogames.. :blobcatgamer: 💡

@stux even the use of firearms in media can be deadly such as the tragedy of Brandon Lee or the accidental death on the production of Rust.https://www.cnn.com/2021/10/26/entertainment/rust-alec-baldwin-shooting-unfolded-cec/index.html

@stux Delusional clowns having a problem with fictional violence, not actual violence. The latter is how these greed-driven sociopaths make their money.

@stux Then they compound that error by trying to restrict popular fiction all while their punditry is a known cause of stirring up the crazies to commit atrocities.

@stux the first step to open government genocide is disarmament of the victims.

@stux or have every AR-15 come with a Republican politician to stand directly in front of it and ensure it is used safely.

@stux Many #VideoGames trivialize the effects of #GunViolence, effectively using them to play tag.I think if they instead used their modern capabilities for realism to show the effects of gunshot wounds and the agony they cause as people suffer and slowly die from them (instead of just popping off instantly and cleanly), players might soon loose interest in using guns in video games.Of course, that's what the makers of video games don't want, so we're kinda stuck with the status quo.I will give some credit to my colleagues at #IguanaEntertainment , who both introduced sideways strafing (in #Turok ) and got creative when the creators of #SouthPark , in the wake of the shooting at Columbine (where they went to high school) said the game (a first-person shooter using the Turok engine) couldn't include guns.

@stux How do you have rational discussions with religious bigots who believe "prayer" is an answer to every do-nothing Republican on gun violence?https://truthout.org/articles/new-house-speaker-mike-johnson-urges-prayer-in-response-to-mass-shooting/

@waynestuart @stux The US is the only country where toddlers can get liquified during naptime in school and the religious crowd will shriek "but what about the POTENTIAL victims if everyone didn't have a stockpile of AR-15S!???!??

@artisanrox @stux an AR-15 is a hunting rifle. The push is hard to disarm innocent citizens in the name of safety when history is full of governments turning on their own after disarming them. The tactics have not changed and why should they? Many are falling for it again.

@waynestuart @artisanrox @stux You're parroting the gun lobby's propaganda. AR-15 is an assault rifle, designed and developed to be used in the korean war, later the vietnam war, for efficiently killing the enemy. Not "hunting".Before totalitarian regimes took fire arms, from their percieved enemies only, not the entire populus, they disinformed with propaganda and censored with book bans and persecuting free journalism. That's you, in your post. I see you, fuck off.

@stux @artisanrox @MismanagedTalent I just put it there for my own reference. Never meant it to be much. I find what I think are interesting things and put them there. You guys are brutal. Have you actually read any of it?

@waynestuart @artisanrox @MismanagedTalent Well, I guess anyone can write whatever they want and put it whereeverBut..If stuff is public for anyone to read, even if it's your "personal thoughts" or notes or whatever it's prone to comments and reactionsThe beautiful but also dark side of the internet is that stuff stays online basically forever
