Your logic has no legs to stand on, because it's not the music that's the issue, it's not the games that are the issue. Again, for the last time I am going to say it, it's a people problem. The issue is much deeper that what medium they associate with.
God dammit I hate this shit. I'm also very happy this isn't some post on Facebook or other large social media because honestly, that pasted quote is all that really needs to be said. The absolute end of the story. I'm glad it's on this site because I can be 100% with my verbal communication and not mince words. The unfortunate thing (or fortunate depending on where you stand with the issue) is that people today will not move from their perspective of the situation, and will not even see if there is possibly another side to a discussion. Games bad? Can't be anything else. Drugs bad? can't be anything else. Alcohol bad? Nahhhhhhhhhh can't be anything else.
Guns bad? HOLY SHIT FUCK YEA!!!
I'm reminded of when I was young and things that were taught to me that were considered right or wrong. I absolutely fucked up along the way and did wrong shit. I'm human.......so wtf? Do I understand that murder is wrong? Of course. Why? Because your taking a life. Does it matter by what means? Absolutely not. We gonna ban rope cause I strangled someone? We gonna ban bows and arrows cause I sniped someone with it from the woods? Gonna get rid of crowbars cause I strong executed someone with it like the 1st Manhunt game? Or plastic bags? You want to talk violence in a game? That was one.
Of all the extremely violent video games I have played over the years, and of all the times I have gotten mad at life for whatever reason, I still have not gone out and used ANY form of weapon to end the life of another. Why? because it's a choice I CHOSE not to make. If I ever did, It'd have to be for a damn good reason and not because "I played video games" Not because I listened to "Metal Music"
TBH this argument is really in a vacuum to me. It does piss me off. Adonael has already got bruises on his head from banging it on the table. I think I've said my peace. I honestly wanna get violent though in this post verbally because words can be weapons too dammit. I blame words.
:::::::EDIT::::::: After sitting back and thinking about it, here is some great examples of how society works with this shit in this modern era. This is the world we live in according to blame other things besides the people who do the bad thing.
I blame Hitler's mass executions on Jews because he contracted an STD from a Jewish prostitute that later left him scarred for life. How dare she?
I blame the people of Asia for Genghis Khan's conquest of it. Ain't nothing like living in a desert to tip someone off the deep end.
I blame the prostitutes who were murdered by Jack The Ripper. How in the fuck could you be so dumb as to hang out in dark ally ways after the 3rd or 4th killings of your fellow sisters? Knowing there is someone out there wanting to gut you? Knife sales were up that year I guess. Prostitute sales were down.
I blame the Jews again for allowing themselves to be used as slaves by the Egyptians. Damn these people need to grow some balls.
I blame the American Indian for fucking living on the continent of North America and getting wiped out as a result. Sorry guys.
o Hey!!! How about we blame the FDA for Jeffrey Dahmer? Holy shit kids! This guy takes the cake! I mean beef! See......hamburger back then tasted really strange so, he had to go out and get himself some HUMAN FOOD ya know? He failed at trying to be Vegan so.....there really was no alternatives because the FDA didn't give him all the proper food choices he wanted in his diet. Just like the modern "Karen" does. Like OMFG.......why doesn't the government do something to help the poor man? He only wants to have his food choices like, like,like OMG
Thank you and have a good night. I'll be here all week.
For those that STILL don't have a fucking clue, all that was BEFORE video games and mass shootings. So there's that I guess........
