Violent, western-developed games cause mass shootings imho
Poast new message in this thread
Date: January 5th, 2026 7:32 AM Author: primrose dashing chad native There have been Studies, probably paid for by Activision, showing that Game violence doesn’t contribute to irl violence, but it’s bs. Mass shooters are statistical ghosts. If an event’s likelihood is 1 in 10,000,000k, you are never going to capture it cleanly in lab aggression tasks, self-reported hostility scales, or short-term behavioral proxies. Social science is good at measuring mean shifts, not pathological outliers. It can tell you whether violent games raise heart rate or irritability by 3%. It cannot tell you how a single alienated, obsessive, grievance-soaked mind metabolizes thousands of hours of simulated domination.
The “selection effect” is only half the story. Yes, violent Scum/Losers are drawn to violent Games. But feedback loops exist: obsession sharpens fantasy fantasy rehearses identity identity seeks expression Social science hates feedback loops because they ruin clean causality. But human psychology is loops. The industry’s favorite move is to say: “They were already violent.” That’s like saying: “The fire already existed, therefore gasoline is irrelevant.” Discuss.

Date: January 5th, 2026 11:33 AM Author: fighting narrow-minded juggernaut You are probably right. I think the idea it didn't cause violence was true when people weren't always online. When life wasn't all Computer. But now you've got a toxic soup of people living on Computer and in Discord forums 24/7 while playing endless hours of this kind of shit.

Of course it influences kids ffs. Millennials have their heads up their asses and it’s leading to more mass shootings by zoomers, all because millennial Losers like Gaming so much.

lol at the rap music shit, too. It's all become so ignorant and increasingly just derivatives of derivatives of what's come before because the "artists" have no actual talent and it costs nothing to make rap music and put it online. |

Date: January 5th, 2026 12:15 PM Author: primrose dashing chad native When it comes to Gaming, I mean it’s pointless given its current State, where the cat’s already out of the bag. But imo at least acknowledging that violent western-developed games are horrifying is progress. There was nothing that came after Doom 1-2 or Mortal Kombat 1-3 that matched it terms of Scumminess and Hellish imagery. The later games feel sanitized even if they’re still violent af. I feel this is a byproduct of the Democratic Caucus’ hearings in the 90s. What people should at least do is what I’m doing — just be like “wow just wow these games are violent, and probably inspire Losers to do mass shootings.” At some point, congress should call western developers such as Todd Howard for Hearings where they are harangued. Also, respectable parents should limit their kids to Japanese games exclusively. |

Date: January 5th, 2026 12:22 PM Author: primrose dashing chad native These seem fine bc the violence serves a purpose and usually isn’t in FPS view whereas Doom and other PC FPSs put you in FPS view which helps the player train for mass shootings. There is also little if any point to the violence other than to prepare for school shootings with aliens serving as a stand-in.

Date: January 5th, 2026 12:26 PM Author: Topaz school factory reset button wouldn't it make more sense to infiltrate the Clique System and modify it so that Losers and Scum aren't sent to the basement while others ace OCI. there is a market for that aggression no matter how much you try to hide it.

Date: January 5th, 2026 12:43 PM Author: primrose dashing chad native Shutting out Losers from society has all sorts of ghastly knock-on effects. The Losery white collar work that they excel at ends up being done by incompetents or Indians. And the pool of “qualified” people gets narrowed when no one hires college grads except at OCI. One thing leads to another and COL skyrockets while everything becomes shittier. I don’t think we can change this — or anything — without a bloody af revolution or a threat thereof.

how do you explain that? |

In reality they should just poast instead of popping pills. Much better solution. |

A certain % of people are psychopaths. It's why they always come in waves - they see the nonstop coverage and get inspired. |
