they hated him because he spoke the truth
They hated him because he spoke the truth
he just had to JQ a little and Anon Babble would be fully on board with his bullshit
No he didn't. He promised me Mass Effect let me manipulate my characters during sex into any position I wanted. He fucking lied, he lied like Todd Howard
If he just went from "video games are too violent" to "video games are too woke" he'd probably still have an audience
Nothing like going from pushing with full force against video game censorship in the 2000s only to defend and go fully on board with it years later
What truth? He didn't just want minors away from video games, he wanted to keep them out of the hands of grown adults too.
It wasn't regulation, it was censorship.
Problem with Jack was that he was lied to by what he genuinely believed were reliable soruces and experts
The fact is he was right about thing: games rated for adults shouldn't be incredibly accesible to children - like it or not, the fact his ten year old could legitimately get the latest GTA (4 at the time) out of a video game shop in person was a fuck up on the shop, yes but ultimately he was right
That said, he did own up and admit he fucked up but his downfall was getting baited by serial trolls like in the MK game where Karate a Kharacter let you make a fucking video game version of him
that and he backed out of the deal where he promised to give 10k to someone if they made a game where you could kill video game players or something like that
He's overall a lot less dangerous to Vidya than people remember or what to admit. A big difference between 'hey this game is bad. Oh wait no I was wrong. I trusted people who we thought were experts' and 'bro if you don't support my bestiality queer game then you're a homophobe and need to die'
how come he doesnt try this shit today? fuck, zoomers would do the legwork for him
He got disbarred so he no longer has credibility
'bro if you don't support my bestiality queer game then you're a homophobe and need to die'
Pretty sure this person isn't suing people and trying to change laws over this but yeah they're way worse.
sorry you are fucking wrong
At this juncture, we observe that meta-analytic studies now routinely find that the long-term impacts of violent games on youth aggression are near zero, with larger effects sizes typically associated with methodological quality issues
I went by his actual goal which is technically correct from a psychological viewpoint that violent video games do actually help you get desentitized to violence. Same with movies.
The thing is, tho, that while he is right, the games aren't realistic in the slightest. I think that's where his argument fell apart. Like, if you looked at some more realistic games today, with physics, etc, then sure, you can make a very good murder simulator but at the time these were 'realistic' and I can see his point
Bully was when his downfall started really. The game was about Jimmy being bullied and protecting other kids - not what he was told was happening by experts and when he admitted he didn't play the game since he doesn't play them but had experts advise him, it kinda hit him I think that he needed to be more careful but by that stage it was just Manhunt (seriously, I understand why he wanted that banned) and then the MK thing happened and he got disbarred iirc
I've been playing violent video games my entire life but if I ever got into a real fight I'd probably throw up from anxiety, what is this nonsense about becoming desensitizied?
I grew up on Anon Babble since 2004 and if anything I'm more sensitive, I cry at stupid sentimental movies all the time
All that guro and Anon Babble did nothing to me
Anon Babble on the other hand...
Stop criticizing us. You are basedjak. [Pepe-Shotgun-SD.jpg]
It's a psychological proven thing
You will become desenitized to things like it
Not saying playing GTA V or Manhunt is going to make you accepting of putting a nailgun to someone's head and pulling the trigger a dozen times but rather, it's been shown there are links (in some people) that crave more and more extreme content
Same thing with porn, actually.
Same thing with rich people getting 'bored' and doing retarded things
Humans are retarded addicts for dopamine, basically. Some, not all.
Some, not all.
In other words it has nothing at all to do with video games, it's about people with a dopamine addiction, which will manifest in one way or another regardless.
That... no
Why are you trolling?
implying censorship is ever rooted in logic and not an emotional reaction and/or benefiting some Jews company
Same thing with porn, actually.
Same thing with rich people getting 'bored' and doing retarded things
Humans are retarded addicts for dopamine, basically. Some, not all.
Literally everything you said here shows it's not something specific to video games, we're talking about people who have a a problem with dopamine. Video games are incidental. Porn is incidental. The cause is something else.
Shit like this is why the mods were doxxed.
arch.b4k.dev
If he said they were racist and sexist he would be worshipped by faggots like you right now.
But you are trolling
This is a such a strange deflection.
Anon, the point I'm making is that you're a fucking idiot solely based on the fact you assume it's dopamine related
I said they're retarded addicts for dopamine
If you get your fix from violence, you'll crave more
No, you don't get to say to the nice spree killer 'hey, watch porn instead and it'll work better'
He's already addicted
Why do i care if video games are racist or sexist? Morrowind made me realize racism is one of the better themes of the elder scrolls series.
And I'm telling you, without making any personal attacks, that the problem is not the media, because otherwise everyone who was exposed to it would end up the same way. The problem is whatever is wrong with the people who do become addicts.
This is what you refuse to look at. No, video games or porn are not going to lead to any normal human being down the path of watching snuff films. There's something wrong with people this happens to, something completely independent of video games or porn.
To say "video games do x" when in fact x has already happened and video games are the trigger for it is false, the trigger here is incidental.
If it weren't incidental, then you'd have studies showing that it happened at all times to everyone except a few outliers, but you don't, you have the reverse, where only the outliers are affected.
So stop going around saying video games desensitize people to violence.
Because you’re crying about people calling out woke shit, but now that that was called out you have to cover your ass and pretend you don’t care despite the fact that woke shit is what has made games worse and made it so shit like morrowind can’t be made.
Guy was played by Rockstar like a fiddle. They were always just looking for publicity through controversy and this fucker ruined his life doing exactly what they wanted.
Lost his license to practice law and is now forgotten and rotting away in some shithole.
everyone
then you didn't read it
not caring about woke shit doesn't mean you are against racism or sexism. you are boxing shadows
it's just a game
A game featuring what
If you didn’t care you wouldn’t have brought it up, but good job using the same cope you fags always do when you get called out.
Funny how no one really cares about "video game violence" anymore.
Did he have his heart in the right place or was he just a grifting kike?
He genuinely did believe the shit
Same with when he argued how rap music was crupting kids (true)
if you just changed his motive and characters and goals and tactics
he would be popular
So, basically, just become a different person with completely different goals. Got it.
He was a fucking lawyer who wanted to make money in a class action. There was a 0% chance of him going red pill.
Commerical journalism cut its teeth on social outrage over music and video games and basically gave corporations the courage to engage in outrage surrounding race, gender and religion.
They were rewarded immensely, and media conglomerates are now a 84 billion dollar industry. Neat.
the attempted censorship would be the same, the gay moral crusade wouldn't be
Jack Thompson says video games are bad because they are violent and depict gruesome homicides, armed robberies, etc.
Games: "So what? No one is really being hurt, they're just 0s and 1s!"
Someone asks why you can't depict murder of children or rape in a game
Gamers: "Uh, duh, that's violent and bad!"
Most people are Jack Thompsons on video games, they just have a different red line than him.
Being 100% honest, I loathed stuff like GTA, South Park, and splatterpunk. It's just crass garbage and I would happily chuck it all into a volcano if I ruled the world. Since I don't, I'm happy to leave all the retarded normalfags and weirdos to their slop. As long as they keep it as far away from me as possible, they can have the time of their lives. Call me Mary Whitehouse or whatever, that's just how I feel.
it still routinely gets fingers pointed at it whenever there is a mass shooting
If I had the option, I would choose coomer games over violent ones.
and that's okay, some lines are better than others it's just the way society works
