Ever since Mortal Kombat. They won’t fucking drop it. 30-40 years of this shit already.

Hello! I played D&D first in nineteen-eighty-fucking-one and lived through the Satanic Panic. Have you seen Tom Hanks in his first big acting role? My parents sat me down in front of that. But I’m still playing D&D in a campaign right now, and my son plays as well. Aha, take that Satanic Panic!

It’s the same shit every decade. They just need something to blame violence on, because surely it can’t be gun culture.

Your parents made you watch a film because they were concerned you could not distinguish reality from fiction?

Next they’ll tie AOC to this because she played Among Us on Twitch once.

So AOC hired Luigi. And since AOC is a Congress woman, that would mean it was ordered by congress! Everything’s coming together…

I think they interviewed people in his circles, and I think a friend flippantly noticed it was kinda ironic that they played Among Us with someone who went on to actually assassinate someone, and now the media is twisting that into the standard “video games cause violence” bugbear.

You can’t argue that it’s violent, but it’s like Tom and Jerry Violent

News Outlets are dead to me.

This is how you radicalize actual children. It’s clear these people are completely oblivious to the fact that every 10 year old in the country knows among us and plays it. Actual children will see how completely absurd all of this is. I love this move. Go ahead, show the children how utterly out of touch the top is.

Yeah, that’s the problem. It’s our bread and circuses, not an entire industry designed to take our money and kill us.
