Currently in today’s political climate the talk has now turned to video games being the culprit behind the mass shootings that are occurring in the U.S which is total bull!
Like I mentioned in a tweet yesterday this is something that they tried to bring up before when the Columbine shooting happened in the late 90’s. That did let work then and it won’t work now. So many people have came forward with evidence that video games do not cause mass shootings. The same can be said regarding music since that seems to get roped in as well.
I mean I played shooting games as a kid and as far as I know I’m not desensitized by killing. I think what we have become desensitized To is these mass shootings. Every time one happens we say the same things, then we forget about it until it happens again.
But why blame video games. I mean other countries like Japan and South Korea play the same games but yet they don’t have this problem. I think that means the issue is the country.
Stop finding excuses for this issue. Maybe the issue is that people feel that hating people of a race or religion is so widely accepted that they feel they should put it into their own hands. Which shouldn’t be the case.
Like I also said in my tweet video games aren’t the issue. Racism and domestic terrorism is. That’s what needs to be condemned in our country. But comment down below and let me know your thoughts. I’m interested to know!
