Jack Thompson
So Ctrl Alt Del has a nice piece written up about Jack Thompson today, and I feel that I just have to comment. I’ve heard of this guy before, and I thought even then that he was an asshat. I mean it’s kind of stupid to put all the blame for things on video games. If a 13 year old was playing a game aimed at a 13 year old and did something, fine. In that case you could put some blame on the game makers; but to go to the point of lawsuit is retarded. Unless the kid bought the game(Which most 13 year olds wouldn’t) you should first point blame to the person who gave that child the video game.
To continue with that thought, games aimed at 13 year olds (Rated ‘T’, ‘E’ or ‘K to A’) aren’t ever the games that are being blamed for stuff. Why? Because they’re aimed at 13 year olds and the ESRB knows what they’re doing! It’s always the ‘M’ rated games (17 years old or up) to blame. And it seems that most of the complaints are in reference of people under 17. I wonder who gave them the game…the parents maybe?! If anything, the parents should be kicking themselves in the ass for being so fucking worthless. The rating system is there for a reason. If you don’t take the time to look into it, that’s your own fault you sorry sac of crap.
Now back to Jack: You’re an idiot. Does it make you feel good that you’re helping people be stupid? Dumbfuck. I’m not going to waste any more words on you.
Conclusion: It’s stupid to blame video games for what the users do. The video games aren’t telling you to do it. If the majority of users started shooting eachother with rocket launchers we may be on to something. Until then, you can’t prove that the stupid people that are doing shit wrong are directly leaded to video games. Next you’re going to blame Atari for when people try to bounce balls off eachother. Assclown.
