I.... Have been virulently anti-censorship since a certain "expert"
on video game violence threatened to "crack my skull open" online back
in 1999, right after the columbine school massacre. I was on a forum,
expressing my displeasure at how the media was lying about the nature of
video games, especially Doom, a Game I've literally grown up with.
Also
Being a brutal death metal nut, and a fan of all metal but metalcore,
and Nu Metal, I end up hearing various ill formed stereotypes of us
Metalheads being satanists, and worse... And babbling about a "global
satanic cult" that is deeply routed in the metal community. Of course
all of that is BS... And in later posts I will be debunking many of the
claims I have heard...
But that's partly, what this blog is
about.. Debunking claims made about violent games and metal, from the
moronic ones that are obvious fabrications (doom will become reality
hoax I debunked on my old blog on wordpress on the subject), to the
almost believable claims that claim to have solid scientific evidence
behind them.... But are still BS deep down inside... I am here to tell
the people who don't know the truth the real facts behind the debacles
effecting my 2 favorite forms of entertainment around today.
Now...
I do my best to back up my statements, I need to. Many of my opponents
outright refuse to do some real research to back up their claims... They
just make a bunch of ridiculous claims and many times don't even back
them up.. But... I am not a newspaper writer, just a person who has
researched these claims by doing various google searches on them for
eons. I am not a professional and never will be. This blog may be
somewhat immature... But that's my nature... Not that it will be
swear-ridden rants every post.... But I am just saying I don't really
give a crap if it's badly written...
The articles I post are in 2
categories... The first is new material found online that I am writing
about brand new... The second is Material recycled from an offline
version of my old blog on the subject... Due to me posting an article on
a reddit.com and getting trolled by a bunch of conservative supporting
idiots there I had to take down the blog... Why? Because one of the
articles called a major anti-gaming/pro family group "nutjobs"... And
they are... But due to all the Libel lawsuits I keep reading about being
thrown against bloggers (WTF!)... I decided to shut it down...
Ok...
On to the first claim I will debunk... The Doom will become reality
hoax... This phrase, supposedly put on Eric Harris's AOL Site before
Columbine is used to link the massacre to violent games by dozens of
idiot violence "experts" and parental/religious groups, all attacking
the industry... A google search here shows how widespread the citing of this "claim" are...
However... He never even said this.. It's a blatant hoax... And Acolumbinesite.com proved it here... But I will show you it myself...
The
Doom will become reality quote there seems to make it look like Doom
influenced the Columbine shooters. Maybe it did.. But this is an Obvious
Hoax...
According
to this the AOL page in question in the first screenshot (that is cited
by dozens of anti-violence in games groups) is just a hoax, proven by
the FBI... Because It was set up after April 20, 1999. Now who would
gain from this hoax... That topic is for another article... But you can
see the nonsense behind the scenes in the anti-violence in media world,
and how idiotic it can be...
