    Isn’t this just the equivalent of the “shooter game discussion” that we had a few years ago?

    I.e., some people argued that playing shooter games would make the people more inclined towards gun violence and we’d see more shootings IRL. but that didn’t happen, as we know a few years later.

    it’s quite straightforward then to assume that sexualized video games don’t really lead to more sexualization IRL, i guess.

      The violence discussion comes and goes every couple years. It has since the 80s at least. It’s never had any ground in reality, it’s just fear of whatever media they don’t understand.

            Oh I was offering that as supporting evidence for your point lol. There’s roughly nothing (besides reason and compassion) these folks can shit out of their mouths that will surprise me anymore.

              Fair enough and agreed. I don’t have much else to talk about with this, so have a great day, captain!

              As for RFK, I hope he has has a horrible terrible fucking day, the cretin.
