"Games create rapists" lady gets pwned by wired.com's research

[Paksenarrion]

No, wait...she's right? In video games, players wield weapons, which fire bullets into people, which create bloody gaping holes...so, we are being hypnotized to rape...during...periods?

Dammit, like I had enough to deal with once a month...

And what the heck are "CII narcheas", CAPTCHA?

God Bless America, the only place in the world we're you can pull this kind of bullshit.

They pulled this type of shit in Japan and the LAW got PASSED because of Seniority. The messed up thing is the guy that pushed and supported the law wrote graphic rape novels. Now ain't that a *****...

I don't know if that's the same though, I don't know how westernized Japan's culture is or the basis for which their country was founded on.

Its basically the same shit. a batshit, crazy person blames anime, manga and video games for the rise in rape. Eventhough he wrote graphic rape novels. He then creates a bill that states anything in anime, manga and video games that shows any kind of crime is deemed unlawful. they're restrictions already on the media already yet he bitching that its not good for children or it causes kids to mimic what they read; when he has no facts at all to back the claims up. Sounds familiar, huh.

The only thing different about it the law got passed because he's old. That happened because Japanese society is based around seniority that the older people are "wiser" just because they are old eventhough they're just like a lot of older people in the US and all over the world. They basically want to stay in control; yet they're extremely flawed logic based around ignorance, blind hatred, blatant bigotry and or hypocrisy is why they hold no creditability with younger people yet keep getting elected because people in their social group agree with them and or have some kind under the table deals.

I might have derailed the topic a bit with my rant

I find it harder to blame Japan for that though. Eastern Culture is different from Western Culture I know that much. I know this lady is doing this bullshit just for publicity. Maybe that older japenese fellow actually believes it. *shrug*

I just get so disillusioned that we built our nation with all these values, and push comes to shove, we lose those values.

It's because people want safety and freedom at the same time but you can't have one with sacrificing the other. Basically she want to protect people from getting raped, yet she's taking the freedom of those who play and make video games. She's claiming those people are rapist just because of violent games. The messed up thing about it is just because you have ties to some power you can spit all sorts of bullshit and fucktardiry around, but do you prevent them from saying stupid, ass-backward logic? No because that's taking away their freedom. Yet at the same time you wish you can silence those ideals because they're very dangerous to the freedoms of others.

yes, but Douglas Gentile didn't say that on Fox news, so most people don't know the truth of the matter, and just complacently believe Lieberman because she has credentials and is on the telly.

Well journalists who publish faulty stories should be called out on it. It's their job to report the facts and have solid evidence. One bad story and enough controversy and it'll bite you in the ass.

What silly logic, I've been speaking English for over 20 years and I'm still not completely sure where to put a semi-colon.

Minecraft is the reason why fossil fuels are depleteing. Fact.

It's true. Studies have shown that in the short months that Minecraft has been available the number of open face mining operations has increased dramatically, and that the BP spill was in fact caused by a 12 year old who was playing Minecraft in Germany at the time.

I don't have time to show you all the facts now, but I've been telling my cat about all the research I've been doing for the past 20 years, so it must be true.

I therefore move that we ban Minecraft, on the grounds that it makes my cat cough up hairballs.

... *stifles laughter* Oh fuck it! BWHAHAHAHAHAH!!!! That was funny stuff!!! You guys are epic. I award you 3 internet high fives.

Sidenote to beniki: Cats don't live for 20 years.

Damn double post!
Sorry! ^^'

I passed the FBI statistics on on the article. Freely available pdf detailing reported cases in every country for the last ten years.

What she seems to be saying is that all Violence is Rape. Which is far more ludicrous and disgusting than everything we've ever put out there.

Especially with her books that specifically state how to bed men for their money and then drop them hard as a good thing. Girls, if you're wanting to see violence, that's a surefire way of doing it.

 

[Scars Unseen]

She's been doing research on this for over 20 years? What was she doing, investigating the harmful effects of playing Contra?

Minecraft is the reason why fossil fuels are depleteing. Fact.

no, no, no. by virtue of it being a game, minecraft fills you with the desire to sexually brutalize every woman you find. come on now, i know i can't be the only one.

It is true, the amount of sexual inuendos I was aware of whilst making my innocent Barbie Spiral staircase that also doubt acts as an awsome mine shaft (lol shaft) made me very randy indeed.

Congratulations, we've uncovered the most well-paid troll alive.

I wish these people, these fucking... whatever the hell you want to call them, I wish they would realize that instead of looking at kids playing these games they need to sit down and play one themselves. Of course, they probably don't have enough "time" in their busy schedule of vacations and Fox News advising.

Fuck, I'm really starting to get mad now, I've got to go do something else...

EDIT: Maybe if they did play, they would get "raped" by all those kids on Black Ops.

lol im also getting pissed off its like saying yea i played pokemon so i want to go around mudslaping people lol!!!!

 

[vongola_mist_daemon]

She's probably very embarassed right now at the millions of people calling her wrong.

Teaches you, don't mess with gamers, we're everywhere.

Fixed. Thousands isn't nearly enough.

OT: LMAO. Just a stupid attention seeker. Not to mention a complete idiot as well.

i actully think she is retarded or on drugs lol the option is a hard one

I think the funniest part was that she said she was asked to testify before congress. Elmo has testified before congress color me unimpressed.

my only reply to that is lol and come to think about it games only started around 20 years ago well the complex ones so she must think playing tome raider or crash bandacoot will make you rape lol

 

[Sun Flash]

Lulz have been had.

Although one thing that irks me, she's a doctor, or a professor right? Surely she must have some academic background to claim that title (As opposed to the Gillian McKeith method of downloading a diploma from the internet). One of the number one rules on opinions is makes sure you have evidence to back it up. If you are so sure you are correct about something, surely you would want to smother the nay sayers' faces in it?



Someone should set up a play date for her with Jack Thompson, then they can be horrifically wrong together!


EDIT: Can I just take this time to thank her for bringing this up, because I'm currently writing a paper about videogames and violence. I don't even have to do much research!

Thats what a researcher would do - check the shit out himself/herself.But you know what the issue is...

Is she... Trolling Real Life?
