And I thought this BS train of crappy articles making up stupid claims was done...
Enter THIS Article:
This article is about E3 and tries to claim that people aren't allowed to Criticize violent entertainment.
That's BS because these fuckwads have tons of tons of sites they infest to do just that, and when one of them, or all of them, makes up nonsense claims they get criticized in return by people who KNOW WHAT THE FUCK THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT.
Case and Point, the stupid constant BS surrounding the equally stupid quote by Jonathan Blow.
"The Lesson of E3, the Gaming Industry is trying really hard to make being a mass murderer fun"
The Author of this article tries to claim that this quote got silenced by "armies of violent gamers" but ignores the stupidity of the comment itself. The Comment tries to equate mass murder with a video game where you kill people who try to kill you. The two are NOT the same asshole!
Mass murder involves killing dozens of Innocent, Defenseless people. NOT people who try to kill you! The two are not the same at all. One is Combat, One is Murder. Is Combat Murder? No. Murder involves intentionally taking a life of someone who is defenseless. The characters in the game are NOT defenseless. They shoot, or stab you if they get the chance to. It's stupid to make a claim that a game like this is mass murder. That is the stupidest thing ever. If there was a game where you went around a pre-school and killed dozens of innocent 3 year olds, and it was shown at E3, that comment by Blowhard would be valid. But since a game like that doesn't exist, his comment is stupid and he deserves "vitriolic" comments and worse and return.
And so is this writer for saying that Blow got "Vitriolic" responses, for merely Criticizing. Sorry. Blow did more than Criticize. He Made up BS. Complete BS that says a game is the same as mass murder. It's stupid. And so is the writer.
People like blow shouldn't be allowed to spread shit like this. Things like his lies lead to actual moral panics and moral panics lead to censorship. What do you think an average, Bible Thumping/Gamer Hating Extremist is going to do if they hear that comment. They will contact their Rep asking them to do something about video game violence. Then we get a bunch of fucking idiotic politicians trying to censor an art form. It's happened Before.
Columbine:
A bunch of assholes tried to post a fake Eric Harris AOL Site saying Doom was his primary influence using a fake quote that said "Doom Will Become Reality on April 21". Well... The media spread this nonsense and soon the government got involved and they tried to ban violent games to ADULTS in many states. It failed but they Tried.
Sandy Hook:
A Bunch of Media sites say Adam Lanza Played Call of Duty. The watchers of the media then called their Rep. Soon the Government forced the industry to meet with them to ask them what they (the industry) could do to stop killings. Soon there was a CDC Study on video games to see if there was a correlation between mass killings and them,
UCC Shooting:
Some Fucking Idiot posted a tweet saying the shooter was falsely "confirmed" to be Samuel Hyde, a youtube gamer and Comedian. Soon a HUGE Witch Mob started to attack violent games. This was long before we knew who the real shooter was. Some of these people contacted their rep's and soon the Senators involved attacked violent games again.
See what happens when idiots who spread lies are believed. Those believers contact people who can actually stifle an art form.
Which is worse? Fucking Censorship Enabling Assholes like Blow getting death threats or their fucking wet dream of all video games that offend them getting censored or altered because the government is forcing the games to not be "offensive"/"Sexist"/"Violent"/"anything these mamby pambies don't like".
You tell me.

How to stop the next Video Games Moral Panic
These are ideas I thought up to end the next video games moral panic that comes up after a shooting spree or school shooting that has "connections" to video games. I thought these up during the Sandy Hook Moral Panic and think this is a great time to bring these up again and I think someone needs to get at least one of these into the Obama Admin. ASAP. I won't do it. I cannot get signatures no matter how hard I try. But someone else in the Gaming Industry should really consider this, because it will limit the possibility of legislation of video games in the future to a very slim chance.
During the last few video game related moral panics (Columbine, Sandy Hook, etc), hoaxes were spread that seemed to show that school shooters were influenced by video games. Hoaxes such as the "Doom Will Become Reality" Hoax after columbine. These Hoaxes contributed to legislation and were used to attempt sway the supreme court in Brown vs EMA by the Eagle Form Watchdog group. Media then went out and attacked violent games, often times using lies to attack them. Lies such as "Video Games make people violent!" are often cited by people in the media. Both of these contribute to the moral panic and make it spiral out of control. Moral panics can be Proven to cause anti-video games legislation and studies. The industry MUST take steps to prevent the the spread of such lies and hoaxes and the government AND media must be punished for spreading them.
A) Government Limitations
-Government cannot use the Obscenity Clause to judge Violence!
(Obscenity clause has a part that says if the game lacks serious literary, scientific, and educational values, it gets fined. No one in a panel deciding this will say it has these values if they get offended by the violent content!)
-Government forbidden from drafting any bill that by accident or purposely causes the lack of sales of violent games to adults.
(No More laws like the CA bill that started Brown VS EMA. No more crap like this)
-Government forbidden from taxing the "Use", "Storage", or "Consumption" of Violent Games.
(No More making everyone who plays a violent game have to pay a ridiculous tax)
-Government forbidden from Taxing Violent games by a percentage higher than 20%
-Government Video Game Studies are Illegalized
-Government officials should be jailed for making up lies about violent games.
-Government forbidden with tampering with the ESRB and cannot make a new rating system IF it gets abused to rate all games so they cannot be sold in stores at all.
Examples of Lies: (proof it's a lie)
"Studies prove Violent games cause real life violence!"
(No study has ever been done that proves this, EVER! Many prove "Aggression" though)
"Violent games are used to break down the inhibition to kill in the military!"
(A person in the military debunked this. Go here for a debunking. Too long to post here)
"Violent games are training tools!"
(Most violent games are not. Only 1 series "America's Army" is)
"Violent games allow you to rape a woman!"
(Not a single violent game since Custers revenge has this feature. That was released in 1989!)
"Violent Games are marketed to kids"
(The Average age of a gamer is 34 according to a ESRB study)
"Violent Games make kids turn into Child Molesters!"
(Brought up by two different people after sandy hook with NO proof!)
"Violent Game Fans are Terrorists!"
(Posted on a site online attacking a marathon bombing game, no proof whatsoever that this is true)
Example of Hoaxes used to attack games after School Shootings
"Eric Harris said Doom Will Become Reality"
(A fake Harris Site popped up on April 21 1999 that said this. FBI Proved this was a hoax site)
"A Hate Site Tracking Group found a modified version of doom on Harris's Website that allowed him to train for the massacre"
(The version of doom that was modified in the article had features doom could not do in 1999 "Infinite Weapons/New Weapons/A second Shooter with New AI/Running out of ammo killed both the second shooter and the player", therefore the modified version of doom is a hoax)
"Adam Lanza's PC, contained a "gamer Scoresheet" with specifics on 500 murders"
(His PC's HDD was Destroyed WITH A HAMMER, how could they even find the fake spreadsheet?)
-Amicus Briefs that use the above lies to sway a supreme court case about a violent game related legislation must be fact checked by a panel of game industry members who know these are lies, and the person who drafted the amicus brief gets heavily fined and barred from future amicus briefs. (Eagle Forum already tried this tactic with some of the above hoaxes during Brown vs EMA)
B) Media Limitations
This covers Media groups (Tv Stations, Newspapers, Websites of those two, ) and Watchdog Groups (PTC, Eagle Forum, National Institute of the Media and the Family, Common Sense Media, etc.) and Police (Police Stations (They often attack games))
-Any newspaper caught writing an article that makes up facts to "prove" a game caused a school shooting and it can be proven by an industry panel, license revoked, fined 2 million dollars, writer thrown in jail for 10 years.
-Any newspaper trying to stretch the truth on violent games, fined 2 million dollars, thrown in jail for 2 years
-Any Newstation making up nonsense about violent games and it can be proven by the above panel,
the tv station shut down, they get fined million dollars, and they get tried for inciting the populace in a dangerous way, and license revoked of anyone involved.
Media now has to be 100% FACTUAL when talking about violent games
-Any Watchdog group that submits an Amicus Brief that contains the above lies and/or hoaxes, gets jailed for 20 years, their property taken by the government and their website shut down forever)
-Any Watchdog group that makes up nonsense about video games on their site, or elsewhere, gets fined 500,000 dollars, their website shut down for 6 years, and gets jailed for 2 years.
-Anyone who goes on talk shows mentioning the above lies and/or hoaxes gets jailed for 10 years, and the talk show gets fined 500,000 dollars.
C) Frivolous lawsuit protection..
- A panel of video game industry members will filter through any lawsuits filed against a gaming company, and if the plaintiff and/or lawyers use above lies to sway the jury, the plaintiff fined 2 million dollars, the lawyer disbarred, etc.
D) Lawsuits
The Gaming industry is now recommended to sue anyone in the media making up anything about a game, anyone in the government, and anyone legislating video game violence in a way that will make video game not sell able to stores to adults.
E) Stopping the spread of the above lies
- Any forum that is found by the panel of the industry that has above lies being spread, the people get fined 2000 dollars and put in jail for 2 years.
- Anyone who calls video games trash, fined 50 dollars
- Anyone who threatens gamers, or insults gamers online, fined 12000 dollars, and thrown in jail for 5 years.
- Anyone doing the above should have their IP addresses made public to help this
- Anyone caught building a website that contains a new video game violence related hoax that proves a school shooter committed the shooting due to the violent game's influence, gets jailed for 5 years and find 2500 dollars.
Ok... This is my plan. I want someone to send this to "We the People" to petition the Obama Administration to do at least Some of these. I cannot do it. Last time I tried, I could not get enough signatures at all. But someone else can. I think it's time we acted to Prevent the next moral panic rather then attacking it when it happens. Because it will happen someday and the quicker we do these actions the better.

PROOF that the Adam Lanza "Score Sheet" is FAKE.
Since the Newtown massacre, dozens of news articles have been saying Adam Lanza made a 7 by 4 foot tall spreadsheet with info on previous murders. The articles try to claim it is the work "of a deranged gamer" and that he killed himself to "save points", at the same time, stereotyping gamers as murderers.
I did some more research into the fake Adam Lanza "Deranged gamer score sheet" claim today. Apparently the original article, which is here, said it was a document on his computer. Only problem is that it was found, that he destroyed the Hard drive of his computer, according to this site. How could the spreadsheet document even exist?! A PC with a Hard drive that has failed due to destruction won't start. No way can anyone retrieve info from that Hard Drive. It's impossible. This article proves they did not succeed at retrieving data from his Hard drive, so how could this document be real?
This means that this spreadsheet claim IS fake.
This is PROOF Lupica made up this crap. He is a scumbag. People like him should be rotting in jail for spreading hate speech. It pisses me off. How can a newspaper allow him to spread nonsense like this? How can the government? Since sandy hook, the government has done NOTHING to stop the spread of media fabrications surrounding video games or gamers like the article. It's their responsibility to prevent BS like this. DO something to punish the media for calling gamers murderers and claiming this spreadsheet is real. They won't because they too think gamers are potential school shooters.
I'm demanding it!
And I want your help Connecticut gamers....
I need it.
Talk to your senators about this. Say how you dislike nonsense being spread about violent games like this fake spreadsheet. Say how the article stereotypes gamers as murderers. Say how the spreadsheet document mentioned in the article is fake and that his PC had it's hard drive destroyed so nothing could be recovered from it. The government investigation claims it's real. Complain about that too. It's disgusting. Make them feel your wrath.
I am going through with the plan to petition the government to regulate the media. I plan to go to the whitehouse.gov site and start a petition there. I don't know what it will be, but I will update the blog when I do do this petition. Your signatures will be needed (and appreciated). Stay tuned gamers.

Adam Lanza "Score Sheet" Hoax is the latest of crap BS attacking Games.
My previous 2 articles go into a supposed deranged gamer "Score
Sheet" Adam Lanza made, which detailed the weapon types, kill count and
other things on 500 murders. An Article by a New York Newspaper claimed
the Police found this spreadsheet, and said it was 7 foot by 4 foot, and
had 500 murders on it. Only problem is that for 500 names to fit in a
spreadsheet, it would have to be made in a smaller font than the 9 font
they said it had. Only 420 names can fit on a spreadsheet that is 7 feet
tall in a 9 font.
The original article attacked games and gamers heavily, claiming Adam Lanza was trying to outdo previous shooters done by gamers in a "video game world" when he shot up Newtown. They also claimed killing yourself was preferrable in their stupid BS "Code of a Gamer" to being caught because other "gamers" (they mean school shooters) could take your "points" you were trying to earn while shooting up a school. This whole article stereotyped gamers by trying to say gamers = murderers and is quite disgusting at the least, and hate speech at the worst.
Dozens of newspapers cited this crap and spread the anti-gamer stereotype even further by doing so, each one of the articles citing the original mentions the BS code of a gamer and how gamers live violent fantasies by trying to commit school massacres in their own sick real life version of the games they play. Not a single one of these articles attacked the original for this nonsense, not a single one, and that's telling. You'd think in this day and age, anti-gamer stereotyping would be attacked massively but the gamers just don't care. None of them complained. NONE. I'm the only one complaining, long after the fact, because I recently found out that there are still articles from more recent times citing this crap. And it pisses me off.
But what really pisses me off is the fact that the writer made up a bunk spreadsheet claim, used it to attack gamers and games, and the Government of Connecticut themselves said it was real. It's the latest in a long line of BS claims being used against violent games, and the first fake evidence claim I've seen to be used against gamers themselves. It stereotypes all gamers as adam lanza wannabees with their 500 name spreadsheets and murder fantasies. Most Real gamers don't do crap like this. Most don't obsess over murders, guns, and violence in general. We may play violent games but most enjoy the games for the challenge, story, and atmosphere, NOT the violence. The whole stereotype that gamers are violent sociopaths is being spread by the initial article AND the articles citing it and therefore also by the Connecticut government because they are claiming the spreadsheet is real and it is a product of an anti-gaming article so by default they are spreading the stereotype as well.
Previous fake evidence claims always were about demonizing games themselves by providing "evidence" that shooters killed real people due to the violent games influence. The Doom will become reality hoax, a fake Eric harris website did this, it had a page saying "on april 21'st the fires will light up, doom will become reality", making it look like Doom Influenced Harris. FBI proved it was fake by figuring out the site went up after the massacre, but still hundreds of articles tried to use this to attack Doom. 3 Newspapers conspired after this, to make up a claim stating that a hate site tracking group found a Modified version of doom that Harris used to "train" for the massacre, complete with begging students in the game. Only issue is that the features mentioned could not have been done in doom till 2001 at the earliest (long after Harris was Dead). But people still used this to attack Doom as well in articles citing this. This even got spread to the American Psychological association and was cited in a paper done by them that tried to claim Violent games make people violent. The previous hoax was put in an Amicus Brief by the Eagle forum for Brown Vs EMA to try to sway the Supreme Court with faked evidence. Both of these didn't go as far as to Stereotype gamers. The newest one does, and it's a change for the Anti-gamers, a change that is NOT needed!
If Connecticut is using this evidence to demonize gamers, they have stepped to a new low here. Saying he Spreadsheet is real is one thing, but then citing the article that said it's the work of a "video gamer" by making us all look like Adam Lanza Clones is Disgusting. I plan to Go to Connecticut soon within a month or so. I want to see how far this BS has spread. I will order a Doom Shirt online and go into a Wendies in a Connecticut town (wish it was Newtown but my families day trip to Connecticut is way to far away from there), and see if people give me any dirty looks or crap like that. If they do, it's more evidence Connecticut has become the next Colorado in terms of violent game moral panic related BS.
I don't know what will stop crap like this, other than massively limiting the powers of the media to spread false truths. That's the only thing that will help to me. The problem with that is that neither major party would support this idea. Democrats hate violent games. They would never support something that stops their allies from spreading lies about such games, which fuels the moral panics needed to get their bills voted in. Republicans love the big businesses. The media businesses are HUGE. There is no way they will support it either due to this. So basically this means that crap like this is going to happen and nothing can be done about it. What can be done about it is gamers actually calling out journalists that make up stupid claims like this that demonize gamers. Let them feel your wrath. Gamers aren't doing enough to protest this kind of stuff. When it's obvious it's fake and it makes gamers look bad, post comments on the newspaper article saying you don't like it. This can actually work if enough people did this. Bad comments can make a newspaper look bad. That can get them to have bad reputations. If they were flooded with negative comments over their article they might think twice about spewing the same vile shit again. But the problem is that gamers aren't willing to do this. They are too pre-occupied with games to really care.

If they were flooded with negative comments over their article they might think twice about spewing the same vile shit again. But the problem is that gamers aren't willing to do this. They are too pre-occupied with games to really care.

Adam Lanza's "Score Sheet" Spreadsheet is a Hoax designed to Stereotype Gamers
For years, news writers have been claiming Adam Lanza created a massive 7 by 4 foot spreadsheet detailing previous killers murders. The article that it first was mentioned in had massive anti-gamer stereotyping in it, claimed it as a "gamer score sheet", mentioned a bullshit "code of a gamer" which says it's preferable to kill yourself then to be caught, and other nonsense.
The police and the state of Connecticut have been massively anti-gaming from the get go, back to the time of Senator Lie-Berman's BS. It's no surprise they are using this against gamers, but I still don't like it. The article stereotypes gamers as murderers, and the police are directly behind the nonsense in that article. Nonsense? Well according to me, this spreadsheet cannot exist.
Why?
The spreadsheet supposedly is 7 feet by 4 feet, written in a 9 font, and contains 500 murders in the columns. I looked at a spreadsheet made in Open Office (identical to Excel in everything but name) and found out that with a 9 font, 1 inch equaled 5 columns. Multiply that by 12 to get columns in a foot and you get 60. Multiply that by 7 (for 7 feet) and you get only 420 columns. This spreadsheet is impossible! It cannot fit 500 names in it. Therefore, it can't be real.
It's BS and the official investigation claims it's real. The state of Connecticut is using faked evidence to attack games again. And they are stereotyping gamers as murders when only 2 out of 211,000,000 gamers (0% of gamers) have killed people in 2012. It's complete BS and it must stop.
It's stupid that Connecticut is doing this. Their Report is a farce. It never mentions why he killed
those people in the school. It only claims he was a gamer and uses that as a stereotype to attack the millions of gamers who haven't killed anyone.I think it's in the best interest that fake investigation like this cease immediately.

Conspiracy to Ban violent games by our government is a REALITY!!!!!!
I am writing this article to express what I have been thinking behind the scenes of this war against violence in entertainment for years... I have been collecting evidence, looking at claims, even going deep inside conspiracy theory circles on Sandy Hook, Columbine, Marathon Bombing and more. Until Sandy Hook, I never believed one shred of the conspiracy nonsense, but now I don't know what I believe.... But I still believe one thing that is quite controversial and it's based on tons of backed up evidence... That there is a conspiracy in this government going on since 1997 to get violent games banned after a massacre happens using fake evidence, media yellow journalism, government intervention, dozens of not to be trusted studies, and other things as well. It's a reality to me and I want to explain why I believe this, and why you should to. Especially if you are a gamer.
Lets start at the crimes themselves that lead to moral panics surrounding youth violence and entertainment violence, columbine and sandy hook especially. Marathon bombing and aurora aren't so big in this but there have been one or two people spreading lies after them so they are in the background. If you look behind the scenes, ignoring ALL the media's claims about such crimes and go to conspiracy circles, you get tons of evidence to suggest such crimes are engineered. This helps to link this to a conspiracy but doesn't proof it's part of the conspiracy. In Sandy Hook's case, it's been proven by the Social security that Adam lanza died 1 day before the massacre. What would this mean for the idea of a conspiracy, well, for one thing, if what social security says IS true, it makes it IMPOSSIBLE for Lanza to be the killer, so someone else must be the killer instead... So since this someone else hasn't even been investigated AT ALL by the government after the killing (they REFUSE to investigate the possibility of the governments involvement), we have to assume they are in on it. In columbine's case, there are TONS of student evidence to suggest more than Harris and Klebold were involved, at least 6 other people where never caught in columbine... A white man throwing bombs, a man with acne that does not look like either of the reported shooters, and more. Who are these people? Since the government never once investigated this, and the FBI has been proven to withhold evidence on the crime, how do we know the government isn't involved in this at all. In sandy hooks case, there is also a claim of a second shooter, the police "investigated" but this guy was let go later. All of this leads to the possibility the government is involved in BOTH crimes....
But the real proof of the conspiracy lies somewhere else, in the investigation of nonsense spread after the school shootings themselves by both known and Unknown parties. This nonsense is almost always of an anti-gaming nature, making it look like the shooter was solely influenced by violent games. I did several articles discussing hoaxes perpetrated by unknown parties that seem to be used to cause an outcry against violent games and even in the Supreme court to hijack EMA vs Brown. Such hoaxes are quite devious and NO one has even investigated and punished the perpetrators of these, especially the "Doom will become Reality" hoax. Supposedly Harris Said Doom Will Become Reality on his website. But the page was not his site, it was uploaded on April 21, 1999, one day after the massacre and It was proven by the FBI to be Fake later. But the sheer amount of attack sites, sites ran by extremist groups, all hell bent on making violent games look bad after columbine, Especially Doom, have used this claim as proof that doom caused Columbine. Later on a news article on some website said this site was not Harris's Real AOL page but a fake page, but later on this site was simply taken off line!! A coverup?
Even more Sinister, the Conspiracy idea is brought further to light with the Newspaper articles of 1999 that claim Harris modified Doom to use in training for the massacre. Three articles all basically said the same basic premise, A Hate site tracking group found a modified version of Doom on harris's Site. But each article had different, contradictory features, some not even possible to even Do in Doom in 1999. One said that this modified version had 2 shooters, infinite ammo, and the first shooter who ran out of Ammo died first (An Impossibility to do with doom in 1999!), another article took this last part out and claimed the version had infinite weapons, ammo, 2 shooters, and begging students saying a quote. Then Denverpost ran a similar article without these modified features mentioned but the quote was Changed, and the way it was said was also changed, but all three articles mention the same hate site tracking group, even going so far to quote their members, but when I did searches for this groups corroboration of this version on their website, I could not find it!
My article on this goes into this in more detail for people who are more interested in this part. It's a long read but interesting anyway.. The real issue, is like the "Doom Will become Reality" Hoax, this has also been used on dozens of dozens of attack sites to demean the industry after the Industry, even though it's fake! It was also used in the EMA vs Brown Hijacking mentioned above as well.
Doing research into the nonsense studies that attempt to prove violent games cause real life violence, you get evidence of groups like the Center for Successful Parenting wanting to "change" culture to get rid of the violence (to ban it really), and earlier studies had .PDF files online that mentioned previous studies had used Electroshock therapy to bias their results, only on the kids who played violent games in the study to boot. But later on, searching for this .PDF file in the same exact search, showed that it was deleted! So was the Amicus Brief that cited the 2 hoaxes. It was taken down too, the link that worked during Brown VS EMA, all of the sudden was taken down and there was no way to back up the claim that they used fake evidence besides my own blog saying it was. I never even bothered screenshotting the Amicus brief in question, not knowing it would be taken down. Conspiracy?
In Sandy Hook's case the Media nonsense was almost as bad. Right after the massacre, Adam Lanza's brother Ryan was identified as the shooter. When he supposedly liked Mass Effect's Page on Facebook, a bunch of Religious Zealot trolls attacked the site to try to flood it in an attempt to take it down while harassing gamers with religious hate threats ("Burn in hell", etc). The thing is none of these trolls are even on Facebook, I checked, looking for any of these attackers, and ALL Their accounts were nonexistent. It's like a certain mid western religious zealot/pro family/anti freedom/gaming group used a bunch of fake accounts to take down Mass Effect's Site..... No investigation was done into this.... More Ammo to prove a Conspiracy.
Even after that, when the guardian, a tabloid from England ran an article that Attempted to prove that Adam Lanza Played Call of Duty , but Failed, despite this failure, dozens of dozens of newspapers quoted the article as Proof he played COD, all at once, like 50 in one day!!!!
Then you get into what I call the Tornado of Bullshit, a never ending cycle of nonsense that seems to be brought up over and over again by the media, the government and others, that always seems to fuel censorship or violent games legislation. Here is a diagram to show this off:
In this diagram the same thing seems to happen over and over again...
A) A school shooting happens, it is blamed on Violent games
B) Fake evidence such as the hoaxes, is used to "prove it", hack psychologists go on talk shows
and say violent games are used to break down the inhibition to kill, (a Lie)
C) Hoaxes get debunked but sites get mysteriously shut down later
D) Public Outcry Happens
E) The Government gets involved and demands changes
F) Unknown parties instigate "Evidence Gathering Campaigns" against gaming sites, to prove gamers get violent for the things to come. Tactics such as harassment, abuse, threatening their lives while using fake names happen. This leads to fake evidence being gathered using abusive tactics.
G) Senate Hearings happen.
H) Studies are done to link violent games to aggression
I) Hack psychologists claim these studies prove "Violence!" not aggression
J) More Public Outcry,
K) More Senate Outcry, this time legislation is brought up
L) Legislation fails and goes to the supreme court
M) The Hoaxes are used to sway the justices by pro family/anti-gaming groups
N) The justices find the law unconstitutional...
O) Now the hack psychologists call gamers druggies and sociopaths
P) Other fake "media violence experts" lie and say their life is being threatened
Q) More public outcry, more fake evidence, more Legislation!
In this conspiracy theory, who is involved? Good Question..... The government is part of this but they are far from the only people... Any news writer mentioning fake evidence is definitely in on this, that includes the writers of the 3 articles that claimed a fake version of doom was found on Harris's site. Any public outcry group that uses fake evidence against games, is possibly involved (depends on if they know it's fake or not, doesn't it?). Then the right wing zealot groups who tried to hijack Brown vs Ema, they are definitely part of this... Anyone who takes part in evidence gathering campaigns or Video game Slander attack campaigns like the Facebook Mass Effect BS trolling mentioned above is probably involved.... In the Denverpost.com forum debacle linked in the Evidence Gathering Campaign link above, the Email Services (justicemail), the Forum itself, the thread the forum took place on, the post the troll posted claiming he had found evidence that the gamers get violent (by our responses), all of this got mysteriously deleted no more than 3 years later... Conspiracy? I say YES!!!!
What does this mean for the future of gaming... It's not good, that's for sure.... Every time a school shooting happens and "proof" is found the shooter like violent games, be wary of it. Most of the time it's fabricated, made up proof, part of a much bigger scheme.... I don't trust any site claiming to show a link between a school shooter, and a motive involving video games making him commit the crime, such evidence such as the hoaxes are just that, Nonsense hoaxes perpetrated by the people involved in this conspiracy to fuck with our freedoms... Who knows if the real perpetrators of Sandy Hook, Columbine (?), Marathon Bombings, etc, are in on it too. Those are brought up to make people think before I went into the meat of the article, proof of a coverup, the first step to prove a conspiracy... I'm not sure myself if Columbine was a false flag, or if Sandy Hook Was, but if the evidence Social Security has given was NOT a mistake on their part, then it MUST BE.... And people must act... How they must act is dependant of the future events attacking violent games in the Media, the Government etc.... Don't let the Administration fake evidence to make violent games look like a Culprit if PROOF has been found Lanza died 1 day before... IMHO, Taking away violent games is part of a much bigger conspiracy to control our minds. Also part of this is constant boot camp style brainwashing done at a lower but not friendly intensity to make people perfectly loyal, controlled subjects during the Education process from 2nd grade till the graduate college. Gaming, Sexuality, Music, Entertainment, Our right to get third party music (what RIAA is fighting), Our right to bear arms, our right to privacy, our right to fair and legal justice (their is none anymore, murderers get off and innocents like Aaron Swartz are put to death every day for crimes they did not commit), all of this goes against control. All of it. So it's a no brainier, that if they are conspiring to control us all, why would they NOT conspire to get rid of stuff that makes it harder for them to do that in the first place?

Idiots online DARE to blame the Boston Bombing on VIOLENT GAMES!!!! And threaten to put gamers on terror list..
So.... I've been on Twitter following the Boston Bombing since it first happened on April 15'th. I suspected someone would try to blame it on violent games. A preacher from Worcester did, but that doesn't nearly piss me off as much as this...... Some idiot anti-gamer set up this article DARING to link violent games to an OBVIOUS Terror attack where the perps are Radical Islamic Terrorists, not even gamers and you get a bunch of people trying to link Violent games to the Bombing, Gamers and video game Manufacturers to Terrorists, and worse.... Here is a text link to the comments in question...
http://gretawire.foxnewsinsider.com/2013/04/24/should-something-be-done-about-shock-video-games-like-the-boston-marathon-terror-on-the-streets-and-kindergarten-killer/
Notice how all of them IMMEDIATELY assumed the "terror on the streets" game was being sold to kids despite proof that the Industry does not sell violent games to kids...
"To answer your question, Greta, yes. Something should be done about these violent games. They are a form of mind control as they 'train' a brain. A child's brain is not fully developed until his or her early 20s. If they choose to play such games after age 25, then let them choose to do so then. The First Amendment, as I understand it, protects a person's right to speak freely, even assemble publicly, when done in a peaceable manner. Somewhere along the line manufacturers inserted themselves into the First Amendment, and some profiteering attorney supported them. I don't recall there being a statement that anyone has a right to manufacture demoralizing and brain training products and sell them to young persons. Has anyone noticed how lax so many parents today are? The children who run a house? Grandparents are raising their grandchildren because mom or dad don't want to be bothered--and these dear people are tired; they may let things slip because they aren't aware of what the kids are doing, or perhaps they do know, but need some rest, so they allow it. Let these game makers (and abundantly violent TV and film producers) create their games for their own pleasure. They can sit in their lounge chairs and play/view their lives away. We need to make them feel our opinions of their work in their pocketbooks."
This is more BS that claims violent games "train kids" when this blog post completely debunks the claim.. There is also the BS claim that kids are running households. This idiot blames THAT on violent games? There is only ONE thing that can cause THAT... BAD PARENTING... Simple as that... This is a BS excuse to support more BS that shows up later in the article... He also claims that some lawyer and the industry have perverted the 1st amendment/free speech... That's also BS coming from an anti-gamer idiot.. This shit is being used to attack VIOLENT games after the Boston Bombings?
"It's not the game makers,it's the sickos that buy these games and the sicko parents who buy these type of games for their children. If there was no market for these type of disgusting games they would soon stop being mad. Blame society not the game manufacturers."
Again the nonsense claim the game is being sold to kids... It probably isn't even being sold. NOT ONE person went out of their way to even remotely prove these games are FREE online games made
by internet idiots and not games sold to kids!!!! Then this idiot who wrote this quote goes out to say we gamers are all sickos? He's the sicko!
"The game of this nature is sick and demeaning as well as anyone who plays the game. Yes, this is free speech without respect and dignity to those involved."
Another fucking idiot claiming gamers are sickos.... Rinse and repeat...
"It's part of free speech however as others have posted -we should make every effort to ridicule and marginalize the developers, sellers and users of these products."
Yet another idiot proponent of anti-gamer stereotypes... This sick shit SHOULD not be happening after a Terrorist Attack. NO GAMERS caused this terrorist attack but these people are acting like it's our fault...
"This is preying upon young innocent lives for what purpose? When trash goes in...trash comes out. And this sickness n violence is being drummed into these young lives and everyones lives 24/7 from the "Entertainment" industry."
Another complete idiot calling violent games "Trash"..... And putting "Entertainment" in quotes like the Violent games are more than entertainment, like training simulators for terrorists maybe....
"Warped minds that create these games brainwash the minds of those who "enjoy" playing these games. The Lanza boy played violent videogames and then acted them out. The parents of Newtown should be suing the manufacturer of the games that enthralled this mass murderer. Hitting these lowlives in the pocketbook will send a clear message that these violent brainwashing games' creators will be held financially responsible for the disturbing results of their depravity."
Another fucking idiot trying to link Sandy Hook to Violent games when there is NO proof he "Acted them out"... This claim is just made up because there is NO game sold by the Industry where you go around killing kindegardeners.... If there is it isn't the industries fault that 1 out of 1000's of games is sick like this.... He certainly wasn't acting out "Call of Dury" or "Mass Effect" when he committed the massacre. The mere claim that he was is just BS by an anti-gamer.
The anti-gamer shithead then goes on to saying that we need "to hit this lowlifes in the pocketbook" and calls violent games "brainwashing" when they aren't... REAL brainwashing is done to people like this by religious zealots. This idiot is probably ALREADY brainwashed at a "treatment" center they all use to force people to by zealots that uses Military Discipline to make people zealots... He calls for a lawsuit of violent games makers after Newtown when they weren't even responsible. Only an idiot would blindly believe such tripe. Idiot doesn't begin to describe this moron. These kinds of people should be locked up...
"Free speech is a cornerstone of our law and our society, but not all "speech" should be protected and these video games are Exhibit A for what needs to be banned to have any chance of having a civil and well-ordered society. Bryan T. Hodges, bryanhodges@comcast.net"
An idiot calling for the complete ban of violent video games. Oh Jee. He even left his email address. I will not personally send him hate mail, but if anyone reads this and decides to hate mail him, I will definitely not say you shouldn't. He's an idiot. And it's HIS fault he left his email in the comment. He's asking for it...
"What's disgusting is that some 'adults' play these games with their children.
Of course something should be done, but if they are put on a ,only adults could buy them, Some adult or parent will buy them for kids.
What we have a problem with is too many liberal thoughts in the country today."
Another moron implying violent games should not even be sold to "adults" (like were not adults but SCHOOL SHOOTERS/TERRORISTS/CHILD MOLESTERS/SATANISTS/any other stupid stereotype we gamers have been called), because "adults" sometimes play "these" violent games with their kids, so now because of that "adults" should not be able to buy these games, and because of this "too many liberal thoughts" are the problem... This moron is clearly a wackjob!!!
"Or better yet, why do people in our society pay money to partake in depraved violence as entertainment?

Notice how all of them IMMEDIATELY assumed the "terror on the streets" game was being sold to kids despite proof that the Industry does not sell violent games to kids...
"To answer your question, Greta, yes. Something should be done about these violent games. They are a form of mind control as they 'train' a brain. A child's brain is not fully developed until his or her early 20s. If they choose to play such games after age 25, then let them choose to do so then. The First Amendment, as I understand it, protects a person's right to speak freely, even assemble publicly, when done in a peaceable manner. Somewhere along the line manufacturers inserted themselves into the First Amendment, and some profiteering attorney supported them. I don't recall there being a statement that anyone has a right to manufacture demoralizing and brain training products and sell them to young persons. Has anyone noticed how lax so many parents today are? The children who run a house? Grandparents are raising their grandchildren because mom or dad don't want to be bothered--and these dear people are tired; they may let things slip because they aren't aware of what the kids are doing, or perhaps they do know, but need some rest, so they allow it. Let these game makers (and abundantly violent TV and film producers) create their games for their own pleasure. They can sit in their lounge chairs and play/view their lives away. We need to make them feel our opinions of their work in their pocketbooks."
This is more BS that claims violent games "train kids" when this blog post completely debunks the claim.. There is also the BS claim that kids are running households. This idiot blames THAT on violent games? There is only ONE thing that can cause THAT... BAD PARENTING... Simple as that... This is a BS excuse to support more BS that shows up later in the article... He also claims that some lawyer and the industry have perverted the 1st amendment/free speech... That's also BS coming from an anti-gamer idiot.. This shit is being used to attack VIOLENT games after the Boston Bombings?
"It's not the game makers,it's the sickos that buy these games and the sicko parents who buy these type of games for their children. If there was no market for these type of disgusting games they would soon stop being mad. Blame society not the game manufacturers."
Again the nonsense claim the game is being sold to kids... It probably isn't even being sold. NOT ONE person went out of their way to even remotely prove these games are FREE online games made
by internet idiots and not games sold to kids!!!! Then this idiot who wrote this quote goes out to say we gamers are all sickos? He's the sicko!
"The game of this nature is sick and demeaning as well as anyone who plays the game. Yes, this is free speech without respect and dignity to those involved."
Another fucking idiot claiming gamers are sickos.... Rinse and repeat...
"It's part of free speech however as others have posted -we should make every effort to ridicule and marginalize the developers, sellers and users of these products."
Yet another idiot proponent of anti-gamer stereotypes... This sick shit SHOULD not be happening after a Terrorist Attack. NO GAMERS caused this terrorist attack but these people are acting like it's our fault...
"This is preying upon young innocent lives for what purpose? When trash goes in...trash comes out. And this sickness n violence is being drummed into these young lives and everyones lives 24/7 from the "Entertainment" industry."
Another complete idiot calling violent games "Trash"..... And putting "Entertainment" in quotes like the Violent games are more than entertainment, like training simulators for terrorists maybe....
"Warped minds that create these games brainwash the minds of those who "enjoy" playing these games. The Lanza boy played violent videogames and then acted them out. The parents of Newtown should be suing the manufacturer of the games that enthralled this mass murderer. Hitting these lowlives in the pocketbook will send a clear message that these violent brainwashing games' creators will be held financially responsible for the disturbing results of their depravity."
Another fucking idiot trying to link Sandy Hook to Violent games when there is NO proof he "Acted them out"... This claim is just made up because there is NO game sold by the Industry where you go around killing kindegardeners.... If there is it isn't the industries fault that 1 out of 1000's of games is sick like this.... He certainly wasn't acting out "Call of Dury" or "Mass Effect" when he committed the massacre. The mere claim that he was is just BS by an anti-gamer.
The anti-gamer shithead then goes on to saying that we need "to hit this lowlifes in the pocketbook" and calls violent games "brainwashing" when they aren't... REAL brainwashing is done to people like this by religious zealots. This idiot is probably ALREADY brainwashed at a "treatment" center they all use to force people to by zealots that uses Military Discipline to make people zealots... He calls for a lawsuit of violent games makers after Newtown when they weren't even responsible. Only an idiot would blindly believe such tripe. Idiot doesn't begin to describe this moron. These kinds of people should be locked up...
"Free speech is a cornerstone of our law and our society, but not all "speech" should be protected and these video games are Exhibit A for what needs to be banned to have any chance of having a civil and well-ordered society. Bryan T. Hodges, bryanhodges@comcast.net"
An idiot calling for the complete ban of violent video games. Oh Jee. He even left his email address. I will not personally send him hate mail, but if anyone reads this and decides to hate mail him, I will definitely not say you shouldn't. He's an idiot. And it's HIS fault he left his email in the comment. He's asking for it...
"What's disgusting is that some 'adults' play these games with their children.
Of course something should be done, but if they are put on a ,only adults could buy them, Some adult or parent will buy them for kids.
What we have a problem with is too many liberal thoughts in the country today."
Another moron implying violent games should not even be sold to "adults" (like were not adults but SCHOOL SHOOTERS/TERRORISTS/CHILD MOLESTERS/SATANISTS/any other stupid stereotype we gamers have been called), because "adults" sometimes play "these" violent games with their kids, so now because of that "adults" should not be able to buy these games, and because of this "too many liberal thoughts" are the problem... This moron is clearly a wackjob!!!
"Or better yet, why do people in our society pay money to partake in depraved violence as entertainment?

This idiot is complaining about people "buying this junk" (where junk is violent games AGAIN), and claims that that is the problem and we need to stop this "Depravity". Like adults buying "Uber violent" games like Call of Duty, Mass Effect, Doom, Hexen, Jedi Knight and other "SUPER Violent Killing games" which the media keeps on scapegoating as the cause of Newtown is depravity now? None of those gamers are "uber violent". But the media keeps on quoting features from 1 or 2 super violent games like Postal 1-3 and GTA and keeps on saying "most games" are like this so you get idiots like this who think that they are....
"This is pornography with violence being the subject matter. Stop this type of violence. Young minds do not know how to assimilate this mayhem. It is being shown as popular, when it is not. This trash media thrives on the destruction of societal values. Please stop them NOW!"
Another idiot calling violent games "trash" AGAIN... Asking this "TRASH" to be stopped and (assumingly) their Creators as well because this person FAILS to even mention WHO should be stopped. Another brainwashed fucking idiot.
"It is called indoctrination to blunt the young so that they will be numb when they see death or are apart of it. It is going on in the radical jihad nations. If these video games are not stopped we are going to see more school and other place killings.Indoctrination is not free speech it is like stoking a fire and hoping it won't burn but it does."
Ok... So violent games are indoctrination now... Do they make gamers "DROP AND GIVE ME TWENTY FUCKING MAGGOT <insert racial slur here> FUCKNUT"... No. Do they sleep deprive people.. Not in normal circumstances... Do they wake you up at 4 am every day after being put to bed at 2 am. No... Do they take the players completely out of their normal life 100% of the time so all they can do is be indoctrinated. NO... Do they do ANYTHING REAL INDOCTRINATION like in Military training camps do.. NO. Because they can't.. Violent games can't train anyone.. That requires. 1) Abuse 2) Intimidation 3) Indocrination 4) Removal from normal life and complete
isolation from it. 5) Constant drills, sleep depravation and exhaustion. Games do NONE of this. Who ever is comparing Indoctrination to games has probably been brainwashed to do so and is another fucking brainwashed asshole.
"Violence in the media is what is desensitizing our culture. Hollywood and msm don't want to take any responsibility for what they market as entertainment - violence for violence sake- they line their pockets at the expense of our youth. They stand by abortion Dr.s as "choice" yet save the baby whales.... They assuage their guilt by "social activism" that suits their self aggrandizing persona"
Even though I proved at the beginning of this article the Industry doesn't sell to kids, this idiot goes on and claims violent games are "desensitizing our culture" to violence I assume, but fails to even what they are desensitizing the culture to, Blames hollywood, claims they are making money off of kids, blah, blah, blah, Fuck you! They claim Hollywood supports abortion, so therefore so must gamers and game companies now! Right? Right? Isn't this what this fucking shithole is implying. So now abortion is something gamers and game companies support... We're all a bunch of fucking toddler torturing baby killers!!!! OH NOES!!!! No proof whatsoever for such an allegation of pure bullshit is there? Nope. NOT ONE SHRED....
"Free speech is only free when it is harmless. You can not do something without consequences if you hurt someone. These type of things, video games, videos etc, that are promoting violence like this one should not be permitted. These things are giving bad ideas to others to be copy cats and the promotion is giving the wrong message like if it is OK to do those kind of things to others. GOD HELP US. WHY ARE PEOPLE SO WILLING TO DO OTHERS HARM, AND THEN PROMOTE IT AS HARMLESS TOO. SICK."
Another bullshit claim by an idiot... Saying free speech should not apply if something is called "non harmless" (probably by an idiot because only idiots call violent games harmful...) He then claims violent games cause "copy cat" murders and more BS.... What an idiot.. But he's nothing compared to the next moronic turd...
"We cannot afford any more legislation that takes away liberties. People need to step up and make these gamers stop the gore by protest and boycot. Maybe their backgrounds need to be checked to make sure they are not themselves terrorists."
Ok... So were school shooters (us gamers that is), child molesters, and worse... But this idiot dares to claim that "gamers" are "terrorists" now... One step away from blaming "Gamers" for the Bombings in boston no doubt... I quote: "Maybe their backgrounds need to be checked to make sure they are not themselves terrorists.". Does this idiot REALLY believe gamers are terrorists? Apparently so. So now we, game manufacturers and Terorrists (we are all of the above now) need to be "Boycotted". What a fucking moron. Anyone who DARES to equate "Gamers" to "Terrorists" is a fucking idiot... Nothing more to say... Just hope this doesn't spread to more morons who believe everything they hear like 99% of the dumbfuck population of this Country after a Terrorist attack done by NON GAMERS.
"There needs to be a better online system to monitor not only those who created this offensive video game, but also those monsters involved in child porn, drug distribution, etc. We need to prosecute those who are inhumane. "
Another moron doing the following A) Saying game manufacturers should be monitored like Child Porn creators. B) Implying Child porn is caused by violent gamers like that boykin moron I attacked earlier in the year... What an Idiot...
"These DAMAGED people who put this TRASH out for everyone to see are just as DAMAGED as these two terrorists. Three PD's who gets three public defenders,stop wasting taxpayers money and put him out of his misery...."
Whoops. Not two sentences later and someone else DARES to blame the Terrorist attacks in Boston on VIOLENT GAMES! What a fucking moron... And also calls for the execution of whoever "him" is... Could be anyone...
"Personally....I think the game makers should be added to the terrorist watch list."
Another moron calling game makers "terrorists" DARING to claim we should be put on a "Terrorist" watch list for WHAT? We didn't do the fucking bombing. 2 RELIGIOUS ZEALOTS from the middle east did. WTF? How are we "terrorists". These fucking turds can't give a straight answer can they?
"I take it they are making money on it .. a class action lawsuit by the victims would be good .. .hit them in the pocketbook .. make them defend their sick game."
Another moron daring to claim that Parents should file a class action lawsuit against the makers of this "sick game", not even stating what "sick game" it is!!!! It could be any fucking game this moron finds "sick".... Any!!! Any!!! Another Litigational loser..
Out of 144 stupid comments attacking violent games, only 3 tried to link them to the Boston Bombings, but about 17 more spread bullshit about Gamers, Gaming Companies, and Violent games.. Complete bullshit like this fuels censorship... It's disgusting.. But what is even more disgusting, is we have "Lowlifes" so paranoid that they must find a scapegoat for a TERRORIST ACT that has a Suspect in Custody with Charges filed against him, but that isn't good enough for them.. "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! It's the violent gamer child molesting Satanic Toaster Terrorists!!!" (Gamers).... It's our fault... More bullshit from assholes on the internet. People should NOT BE SCAPEGOATGING games AND Gamers for something they did not do. WE are NOT terrorists, we should NOT be put on "Terror" watch lists... It's all bullshit...
