Yep. I've been saying for a while now that gamers aren't being persecuted anymore, they just have a persecution complex. I mean, we've pretty much won; almost everyone under the age of 30 games these days, with plenty of gamers being over that age -- some of the players on a Battlefield 2 server I frequent are in their 50's for cryin' out loud. But gamers just love to pull out the "they're blaming videogames!!11!!111" card whether the blame is actually being put on videogames or not. The reactions to this story are an example of that mindset being extended to something else that isn't really being attacked, but is mentioned in just the right way that gamers feel like it is and rush to defend it out of solidarity.Staskala said:
OT: The guy is screwed up in the head, and it's a pretty terrible situation. Although I have to say, I'm reminded of how the cops treated Kyle Reese in the first Terminator movie, and how the mental hospital treated Sarah Connor in the second one. I'm sure the guy is just crazy, but something in the back of my head is going "in a few years time, a werewolf is going to bust in there trying to kill this guy, and any bystanders are only going to have themselves to blame for not listening to him."
