The Video Game Menace

Another uneducated dolt going on about how video games are the bane of modern society. Enjoy.

Actually, if you look at the comments on this one you'll see how off-kilter this woman really is. Moderating and deleting posts that don't match her point of view, getting into name-calling fights with other people on the site... it's pretty ridiculous to think that this woman actually has some credibility with her readers.

You're surprised people listen to reactionary idiots? Have you never been to a religious institution? OOO Satire...

I think you've been beaten to this already.

I actually wrote a long reply to her, breaking down her argument and proving her completely wrong. I even had sources and links for proof. Guess what? She deleted it.

 

[The Procrastinated End]

There was already a thread about this exact thing like an hour ago.
Please stop giving her more attention, I'm afraid that might make her feel more valid.

god i am so sick of this argument....

how about the people in Ladies Monthly go enjoy their menopause and i will enjoy my video games

This made me laugh. Loudly. Especially the part where she said that kids who play video games all become drug addicts and killers. The insanity of her statements are on par with "Reefer Madness!" The way she was writing, I wasn't really sure if she was making a joke or not.

At the same time, it depresses me that people are still so ignorant to blame all societies problems on whatever form of media is new. It's sad, but at the same time it's funny, because she's stupid.

Now I was going to continue my play-through of the Ocarina of Time, but I guess I should get really hardcore and do heroin instead...cuz that's what gamers do

Sorry, this has been done and it's a parody site.

Is it? My google search came up short.

It would explain a ton of the articles the same person wrote though.

Don't you get it? The author is called Miss Ann Thrope. Misanthrope? I'm just saying, I'd rather believe this is an elaborate joke than have even more stupidity going on this week.

 

[Estocavio]

And this is why you dont let women use the internet

(IM JOKING please dont hate me )

Hmm, yeah... at first glance you wouldn't even notice.... thanks for pointing that out.

 

[Se7enUpMustang]

I typed up a very nice reply as well with many valid points. and she deleted it of course, yuo all notice how she replies to all the valid arguements with insults?

 

[bad_dog14]

How in the fucking universe do games make kids suicidal? Well, by this retard's logic, it's because a person (not just a kid) spends time with a game, and "kills time" by doing so. Then going school, working, studying and pretty much everything else is suicidal too.

And in one of the comments, the guy actually mentions ratings AND POSTS A LINK TO THE ESRB'S WEBSITE but she just dismisses him because of a lack of research in his comment. This woman needs to go to go take a walk on some train tracks, do you know what I am saying?

 

[Tehlanna TPX]

She probably doesn't even have kids. She's just an armchair parent that can't be bothered going through the actual pains of childbirth to figure out what being a parent is all about. Typical, 100 cats at home garbage who honestly shouldn't have access to the internet to begin with. The rest of the site is pretty much trash, as well. It honestly offends me, and I am a woman, that people could think the articles there are at all redeeming. Vile, ignorant trash.

 

[silent-treatment]

Ohh dang where is my successful troll is successful picture.
This girl be trolling, and is doing a great job. Just read the comments. Great read.

 

[Snarky Username]

Now that I know it's a parody site, I feel kind of silly for writing a huge post about how she was wrong. It was gigantic!

The thing that scares me, though, is that there are people that actually think this way!

 

[silent-treatment]

YAY thats the one

 

[Tenkage]

honestly, this is sad, 20 Bucks says she is married to Jack Thompson

Sorry, this has been done and it's a parody site.

if thats a joke, its as obvious as DratsabREVIEWS on youtube. as in, all evidence points to actual insanity.

I don't get it, do you mean I'm wrong in saying that the site is parody?

Im saying it should be alot more obvious.
