Of all the kinds of stupid that exist out there, certainly it’s the predictable stupid that is the most frustrating. And of all the kinds of predictable stupid that exist, one of the most predictable forms of stupid is how video games are linked to mass shootings and murders on a clockwork-like cadence. As I’ve said previously, this rush to the video game boogeyman is dumb and should stop. But it won’t.

Late '80s? Don’t you mean early 20th century maybe late 18th century. There’s always a boogeyman. It’s the easiest way to shut off people’s brains and keep them in line.
