Was it justified?
I never understood why some people freak out about violence in video games, it's not like they are real people.

It's unironically just the same story with people saying that games are corrupting our youth, and the other side saying "well just don't play it then". The reality is everyone except hardcore libertarians (who I hate for entirely different reasons) have no principles on this and are perfectly willing to ban anything they don't like.

It's history. Actually, factually this happens with every new entertainment medium. There's articles about how mass production of newpapers and books would lead to family values being degraded as people read and no longer talk to each other, which sounds awfully familiar. Music had bans on blues and rock and roll for similar reasons. Movies were rallied against, then color was seen as this thing that was going to render people blind. I'm sure if we ever get a virtual reality space that isn't an advertising trap, there will be bans and rallying against that as well. It never fails. New is scary.

This, every generation thinks technology is going to warp the next generation into the wrong type of people and destroy society. When historically, the societies that do get destroyed from within (ike the Soviet Union largely are destroyed for the exact opposite reason, that they were so ideologically committed to one way of doing things forever that they were incapable of handling reforms without tearing themselves apart when said reforms actually became necessary to save the system.

So when are we going to have a sex game hysteria? Since we partly normalized gore and blood, the next logical step is go from softcore to hardcore porn in mainstream games. Even based Japan is pretty reactionary here and refuses to show full penetration in FF15.

No, whataboutism would be me saying "ignore X because the other side does Y" which is not what I'm saying. I'm saying it's wrong when either side does it, let creators make the games they want and if they make a shitty product, don't buy it. This isn't the days of Comcast being the only ISP in town, you have near-infinite choice of what kinds of games you want to play.

there definitely will be one; sex is the new topic because there are a lot of games that glorify kinks that people shame a lot, and because of VR. Calling it right now that a lot of fake porn that is deemed "degenerate" will be banned in the future once VR porn catches on, people will worry about the implications/brainwashing of VR.

Oh man, if /vr/ hits mainstream, I promise you some of the first major apps will be the following.

Social media app that focuses on virtual hangout (VR chat is basically this.)
App that lets you digitally go to events as if you were there, focused on games, concerts and the like. (Facebook is trying to do this, mixed results.)
App that focuses on heavy milsim with realistic movements (Pavlov is getting here)
App that's the internet but VR, effectively the matrix (We aren't quite here yet)

Followed by the following.

App that simulates sex
Church apps funded by Christian think tanks.
Apps that are actually viruses meant to fuck with the user, maid mainly for clout, followed by actual malicious wares.
Probably the first actual exclusive VR gaming app, most likely a sim of some sort, like a dog-fighter.

From there, it get's fuzzy. Promise you about the time the church gets it's claws in that you're gonna see major censoring.

No, it was genuinely just old people being terrified of things they didn't understand. It's blatantly obvious that fictional depictions of violence don't turn people into killers. The generation that grew up with things like Spaghetti Westerns and Hammer Horror movies should have known this to begin with.
If video games are doing anything, it's getting kids addicted to video games, and that is maybe an issue that bears looking at, although then again, video games are more often than not just a retreat from a shitty life. Are we going to talk about the elements of modern life, and modern schooling that are making children depressed, or are we just going to keep finding scapegoats?

I mean we already have a huge new wave of people on social media sites going on witch hunts and calling people pedophiles over loli hentai. Only a matter of time before it starts extending to rape porn, incest porn, furry porn, eventually it'll be "he didn't ask for consent on camera only rapists watch this" and then the logical conclusion will be trying to cancel Brazzers and PH and getting porn banned altogether.

The moral panic around video games was never anything more than Nintendo trying to start shit anytime they were getting their ass kicked in sales in America. They eventually realized their wholesome kiddie image repealed more people than it brought in, and the negative controversy just increased the sales for competitors, and stopped doing it, which is why it's hasnt been a thing for almost 20 years now, outside of a short news bit to scare boomers whenever a mass shooting happens

Shitty parents in Anglosphere countries always need a scapegoat for their shitty kids' shitty behaviour other than their own inability to raise (or disinteresting in raising) good children. In the 90s, it was muh vidya gaem vailintz and ADHD. In the 80s, it was MTV and Satanic panic. In the 2000s, it was the internet at large. In the 2010s, it was brown immigrants and screens in general. And today, it's schools and human rights. Somehow, schools and human fucking rights are bad for children now.

Japanese boomers didn't understand shit about anything, which is partly what lead to it. Howard Lincoln did basically everything Nintendo PR related throughout the 80s and 90s, and was the force behind all of it. He's also the reason why Nintendo spent 20 years filing court claims against everyone for every single thing, and losing every single one of them.

That's kind of dumb, because Nintendo past the SNES were clearly making efforts to get their share of the violent games. GC was basically home to Resident Evil for a little while there.

This isn't conspiratorial, this is actually what happened. The moral panic over games was most heavy during the senate hearings, which were heavily influenced by Nintendo grandstanding about Sega's violent games, and spending most of the hearing trying to label Sega as smut peddlers, and themselves as kid friendly angels who are looking out for American youth. Go read the court transcripts of it, and look at what scummy pieces of they shit they were during it.

Maybe for that one instance in time, but as soon as Killer Instinct happened it was clear they had changed their tune to wanting their own share of the violent games, since that's what was selling.
Once you get to the 6th gen era, all of that stuff is way behind Nintendo. Nintendo were desperately trying to escape their childish image by that point.

The difference is that censorious conservatives are filling their role, they're supposed to fight creeping degeneracy, preserve valuable traditions, and help keep society clean and functional. Liberals are not supposed to support censorship. Liberals are supposed to be the ones defending freedom of speech, independent thought, tolerance, the marketplace of ideas, and so on.

But the situation now is that we have both sides fighting over what gets censored with absolute dipshits like you in the middle.

I can think of a few negatives but I think there's a more generally positive effect on the worst social issues like crime (although homicide is booming in the US right now thanks to the BLM movement), with would-be offenders more likely to be sitting home getting fat and sweating soi than being out getting into barfights over being dissed.

Social Media is far more cancerous than videogames. Kids and teenagers are not psychologically equipped to cope with mass social connectivity, girls in particular. Teenage girls have long engaged in psychological bullying of each other but social media has allowed them to take it to vicious extremes. So you have psych problems, and that's before you even get to the dopamine cycle of posting your tits and ass to instagram/tiktok for upvotes or whatever instant feedback you get on those sites.

It was kind of redundant as an idea. They could have just made a system that could connect wirelessly to a 3DS, and had all the same functionality.
It was a console with an awkward stock controller (which is hard to replace if you break it)
It was a handheld that wasn't really portable.
It was built around this "asymmetrical multiplayer" concept, which is ultimately way too niche of an idea to model a whole system around. As you said, no one really made games that utilised the concept.

It's interesting looking at vidya age ratings in my own collection.
PS1-era games are mostly rated teen or even lower. PS2 we start seeing some for adults but still mostly teen. PS3 is a mixed bag with shit like MotorStorm somehow having the same teen rating as Call of Duty 4 but the ratings are starting to really creep up especially later in the gen.
Then you've got PS4 where it's just all 18+ all the time. In Europe the Tomb Raider series started at a 12+ for the Core games, went to 16 for the Crystal Dynamics trilogy and the current reboot series is a strict 18.

The video game panic never really existed. It was driven mainly by attorney jack Thompson who wanted to cash in on the columbine shootings for self profit. He became a self appointed expert on violent video games.

He also sued wwe on behalf of a violent sociopath 6 foot 300 pound 12 year old who beat his sister to death during a tard rage. He didn’t even watch pro wrestling but jack only wanted headlines and we’d was peaking in the late 90s.

For the next decade after every school shooting jack Thompson would tour CNN, Fox News and good morning America claiming he had medical evidence that video games were murder sim brainwashing tools.he was finally disbarred for all his shady lawsuits.

Yeah there's been enough studies into the impact of violent games, pornography, propaganda, commercials and advertising and media as a whole to determine that of course it affects how people think. You'd have to be woefully retarded and probably an atheist to think otherwise. Why do you think they make it? Understanding the impact it has on you is essential to how you engage with it.

Banning shit doesn't make sociopaths NOT be sociopaths.
Also, OP, that was 2000s, the Jack Thompson+Hillary Clinton+Joe Lieberman era.
You gotta wonder how many dudes that consider themselves hardcore gamers, voted for Queen Cunt in 2016 forgetting her anti-game past. Not that King Orange and the rest of these power-grabbing faggots aren't anti-game as well. Bear that in mind!

this turned out to be bullshit as the kid didnt even own manhunt, from what i remember it was only a hammer not a knife attack.

parents blaming violent films or games for their kids being psychos is rediculuous, things that have an adult age rating can only be bought by the parents, then they blame game companies or society for exposing their children to such things.

now its like all phone networks blocking adult content by default, which also blocks most sites or google searches, even if they are ok.

this was done to protect children from harmful content or pornography

its not societys responsibility to parent your kids, if you cant.

if anything is corrupting todays youth, its the gender movement, perpetrated by the mainstream media and the music industry and we all know the people that are behind that.

i was a kid in the 90's, and i cant believe whats happening to the world, and what now has become socially acceptable in public.

fyi. i remember as an 8yo, getting my dad to rent me mortal kombat 3 from blockbuster when it released, it was scary as shit i had to get him to take it back and swap it for MK2, also i havent killed anyone yet.

I am still firmly in the "Videogames don't cause violence" camp but Call of Duty definitely tests my commitment to that belief. Call of Duty is literally CIA propaganda. This isn't /pol/-tier schizo garbage. The Department of Defense is literally listed in the credits and they hired Oliver North as a consultant for one of the Black Ops games. If you play the campaign of any COD game the entire thing revolves around justifying war crimes. Bombing buildings that have terrorists in them, torture (a fuckton of torture), situations that encourage you to endanger and kill civillains. Oh shit that guy in the press jacket has a gun! shoot him! Price...the only way to do this is to paint our tanks with red crosses and spook the Russians! Hell I think one game even tried to pin the highway of death on the Ruskies. At what point does it stop being a game and start being propaganda. If Russia made their own version of Call of Duty where you invade Ukraine to stop COVID 2 and the game forces you to do questionable things like shooting old men at a fishing hole for the "greater good", I think that distinction would be clear. Funny I've yet to see a single parent complain about Call of Duty. They are more worried about Fort-nite (nigga what?)

The whole irony is that most people don't even play the campaigns in those games, so the DOD is probably just pissing away millions for probably nothing.

This is the conclusion idiot shitlibs drew.
The developers were referencing "the highway of death", but since Russians are the de-facto bad guys within the games universe it was pinned on them.

Also, MW2 literally featured an American general trying to instigate WW3.
Generally speaking all of the torture, CIA crap etc. is depicted in an anti-hero fashion with constant allusions towards the negatives of Western interventionism and the acts commited during covert ops and what not.

The games are propaganda but they're by far more nuanced then you give them credit.

>Funny I've yet to see a single parent complain about Call of Duty. They are more worried about Fort-nite (nigga what?)

Not really. It was portrayed as an effective way to get information (which it's not.) The games give very little context or backstory to the characters. They are generally poorly written.
>far more nuanced
If you're a retard maybe. MW2 was an example of piss poor shit writing designed to generate buzz. The damage that that game has done to video-game single player content is irreparable and is still being felt today.

I feel like a lack of understanding in media your child consumes is a hallmark of bad parenting. You should be aware of what your child is being exposed to, not only so they don't expose themselves to sissy hypnosis porn by accident, but also so you can avoid being like pic related.

You don't understand evangelical religitards anon. D&D has magic. They literally believe magic is real. They think the spells chapter in D&D is actual, real magic, from Satan's balls himself, printed on real paper to corrupt theor children. D&D just containing magic means it's the devil, because all magic is automatically Satanic to them, unless it comes from Jesus, in which case it's a miracle and not Satanic.

The issue in that case is not them not reading it, it's that their own religion tells them it's literally the devil and they believe it. Thats also why they went ape shit over Harry Potter, because again, to them magic is always Satanic and evil.

In fairness though, GI Joe was basically the only children's cartoon on tv at the time where human characters were allowed to punch each other square in the face without the camera cutting away so that we couldn't see the fist make contact. It also in no way shied away from discussing death when a character died, something that was another big nono on tv.

>that every other country with an intelligence network doesn't also do this
This is very true, but the U.S. is very sneaky about it. It blurs the lines between propaganda and entertainment and it isn't until you look into the credits and the process of making the content that you realize what you are actually consuming. What I want to encourage is people calling shit like COD, 24 and all the fucking cop/cia shows as what they are: state sanction propaganda.

The main problem is the inability for people to distinguish between things like (lets use movies here) Apocalypse now and Dr. Strangelove vs 24 and Zero Dark Thirty, which belong in completely different categories in both their construction and overall message even if they all deal with the same themes of gov't corruption, war crimes, terrorism, western expansionism etc. The former two movies end with a complete lack of faith in our military and government and with the conclusion that sometimes the entire system just fucking fails. The latter two phrases the problem as bad apples, usually controlled by foreign interests, who are quickly vanquished by "Real Americans", and the evils are phrased as "necessary evils." These piece of propaganda do not have the balls to tell the audience the truth: that sometimes it's all for nothing.

Think of the ending of Apocalypse Now. Willard escapes an Island full of rogue "war criminals", and has the option of calling an airstrike. In doing so he would undoubtedly kill women and children, and he calls off the airstrike. The impression the film leaves you with is that the differences between Willard and Kurtz are increasingly vague. The film ends on a question mark. You'll never see another movie like this again under the current circumstances because military equipment is now handled by the DOD itself, who would not allow their equipment to be used in a movie like Apocalypse Now.

Except Apocalypse Now DIDN'T use equipment from the DOD, they borrowed equipment from the Filipino military for the film.
...then halfway into production the Philippines kinda wanted those helicopters back because they needed them to fight a war so there wasn't as much usage of military equipment as the film originally planned.

Much like the DS' dual screens. Usually, gameplay was either
A) relegated to a single screen with the second one providing either a map or a status screen or
B) just traditional shit, but on 2 screens, ZOMG!

Games which used both touch controls and the second screen in neat ways were very, very rare.

To make this /vr/, I was let down a bit by the GBA cable for GC. Woulda been nice if it made your GBA into a special controller for some 4p co-op GC game, with the GBA acting as your own personal screen for you keep some shit private from the other players.

Game "journo's" are just yellow journalism muckrakers. If you pay attention to anything they say you've already lost, because they'll write any dumb shit for attention.

Corps design by committee, if the committee says thats what they put in, thats what gets put in. You're an absolute retard if you believe anything other than soulless suits who are trying to earn your dollar will do anything to get that dollar. Don't like a game, don't buy it.

"Buh buh buh I can't not play game X!" just makes you a weak willed pussy. Crying nonstop about "muh libs" also makes you a pussy and a retard because you don't even realize it's all about trying to appeal to the dominant social groups and get their money.

You are part of the problem for EVER assuming any of that. Why are you even assuming that they ever supported freedom of speech, independent thought, tolerance and marketplace of ideas? They only supported it when they were weak. Now that they have power, they don't need such inconvenient things.

When I read cringeworthy comments like this, as a former communist, it is impossible to sympathize.

Back when I was studying to take my first communion we used to talk about Pokemon and shit and the head priest would always be like, "my kids having fun with friends is one of many blessings that life can give us but there's a time and place for everything" and we would shut up no questions asked, later we found out he and a nun had to quit the church because the nun was pregnant with the priest kid they went to the country side and nobody heard of them again.

As said previously, a lot of the woke shit is actually generally unpopular (and ignored to some extent. The normalfags gonna get their Fifa regardless). The big issue is that they goes and pander to the non-audience in an attempt to look woke, but all it does it waste money that could have gone towards pleasing the actual audience, or at least, not attempting to outright insult and displace it. Meanwhile the supposed audience being catered to don't care other than empty virtue signaling point, as they're not the audience, and in turn, usually ends up being massively annoying to the actual audience
In the end, this shit has been going on for a decade and they have very little to show for it

The only reason those things make money is because they are tied to existing brands that retarded fans will buy regardless. Consumerism is the new religion, and to these "people", missing out on the latest product, regardless of quality, is a sin. But that does not mean said content is beloved by the masses. In fact the ratings for shows that go woke are terrible more often than not.

Everything is a cope with you. They wouldn't do it if it didn't make money. Just accept it and move on, you're not going to change it. If companies thought they could make 1/10000000000000000000000000th of a cent more by violently ass raping you with a dozen horse cocks the moment you opened a package and would receive no penalty for it, you'd have died of several rectal trauma ages ago.

It doesn't make money though. What woke properties that are completely new IPs fucking break bank? Because I cannot think of a single one, and like stated before everything that goes woke gets critically panned by the audience. The trailer for that Amazon Lord of the Rings comes to mind. Doctor Who, one of the most beloved shows on TV, had its ratings thrown in the trash can once they started to cram preachy propaganda into it. The comic industry is dying while manga is thriving. People are getting absolutely sick of this shit but you're probably right about it not going away anytime soon because of how deep this retarded ideology has ingrained itself into our system.

Do you really think that companies care that much about making an extra dollar when they already have all the money in the world? Because It's more complex than that. They can take the small blow as long as it spreads the message and pleases shareholders.

I'm not completely sure about that
It has been going in full force for about a decade and they have very little to show for it in results The resentiment is building up and it looks like retaliation is coming because they're increasingly going even more retarded than the last year. The overall messaging is spiraling down fast and is becoming more and more schizophrenic and constantly doing 180 on itself.

Things are absolutely underperforming, and slipping from cultural relevancy. Something like Star Wars will always make enough, because it's Star Wars, but those new movies did progressively worse as they came out. Solo did so poorly, they had to completely rethink their business model of releasing a new Star Wars every year. Doctor Who viewing figures are way down. I'm sure Star Trek viewing figures are way down.
And even putting aide the money side of things, these properties are completely done culturally. No one even cared about that new Matrix movie. It came and went like a fart in the wind.

They're probably up ever since Mandalorian was half decent. Those Star Wars movies did progressively perform worse and worse though. This isn't negotiable. That's what happened.

You think companies pandering to China but are hypocritical in other times is some contradiction, and that this somehow deters the fact that companies genuinely believe in those ideals because they want money? Winners in this game will always behave ideologically inconsistent as long as they gather power to apply their ideology consistently. Losers behave ideologically consistently will lose power to the point they can only apply their ideology inconsistently. Seems more like a cope to deal with the fact you have no power and are losing ground.

Oh wow, you think companies are making money from wokeshit when they are suffering profit wise, they are losing money, Disney in particular, got fucked by their mismanagement, and the moment they actually got punished for publicly supporting that shit, it was enough to get them to start shutting up. But its not because of money, power is more important then money.

Thats some incredible delusion, you are going so far to cope with losing that you talk about an alternative reality where you actually think companies support this because there is a large audience that supports this.

No it doesn't. It doesn't in the end. Since the CCP is about to become the most powerful party in the world. North Korea can survive famines that would cause most democracies to collapse.

See, the problem is you think only of yourself, and not the fact that the party is winning victory after victory and that they can enforce their ideals on you.

While you probably shouldn't be like the Soviet Union where you become so ideologically focused on a goal that you're incapable of doing the things to save you when the chips are on the table, at the same time when you say you'll never do X and then you go and do X, it historically only leads to short-term gains that lets the other side wield a long-term advantage. I don't think I need to tell you how many presidents lost their chance at a second term when they promised they wouldn't raise taxes...and then went ahead and raised taxes.

Doom wasn't their inspiration though, they simply used a WAD they made themselves to "plan out" their attack and if you read their blog, they were talking edgy. For Doom and Duke to be their inspiration, they'd probably have to see themselves as warriors going out defeating evil. Hell, Duke at least would make sense if people at the school messed up their ride.
