Unless you live under a rock, you know we are once again debating evil, it’s cause, and how to stop it. While questions of policy on fire arms, school security, and how much 17 year olds are free thinkers vs useful tools in political debate are being debated on much less prestigious news sites, the Daily Rager is taking on the meat of the issue: Video Games and Violence.
Some have attempted to answer the question with an analysis of science. At the Daily Rager, however, we prefer to let experts debate the topic.
Our Point is brought by Joffrey Dougmoore, PhD. and our counter-point by gamer whose preferred handle is CapnYoA$$. The following debate was held over discord.
Point: Every time something of this magnitude happens, mass shooting of innocent people, we find out that person at least once played video games! The correlation is extremely concerning. That’s why I’m proposing a 17 point proposal to congress to regulate and outright ban some video games, require 3 types of photo ID to purchase anything beyond E for…
Counter-Point: Dude, can you shut the f*** up! Go Kill Yourself, your interrupting my game of Fortnite!
Point: See, this is just the negative, anti-social behavior you can expect from to much exposure to video games. If you fear for your children and need help, please call my office to join our cause at 888-2…
Counter-Point: (noise of loud banging) F***! That noob a** b**** f***ing blew my head off. Now, I have to buy a new f***ing mouse! What are you talking about? Oh yeah. Look, I may have a temper, but it’s cool cause I only break my mouse and no one has to worry about it.
Point: Property destruction, see, this poor young man cannot control his temper after countless year of gaming destroying his mind.
Counter-Point: Hey man, I’m a girl.
Point: Oh, well…uh
Counter-Point: I mean, I know my mic sucks, but don’t be a sexist f***er, okay?
Point: Right, well, this girl clearly developing a case of Video Game induced anti-social personality disorder. We need to keep our children like her away…
Counter-Point: F*** you, I’m 29. I’m also gainfully employed as a social worker, so don’t try that s*** on me.
Point: Uh, well…
Counter-Point: Now, are we done, or do I have to come over there and beat the s*** out of you…haha that’s a joke.
Point: Well, just so you know professionals like me believe…
Counter-Point: What’s your PhD in by the way?
Point: What?
Counter-Point: You said professionals like you, what’s your PhD in?
Point: Well, uh, Ethno-Cultural Performance with a specialization on the Inuit traditions.
Counter-Point: Are you s***ing me? F*** you man, you don’t know s***. I deal with violent little b*****s all day at work. I blow off steam by blowing up other b******s heads off online and imagining specific kids. Does that make me violent? Who the f*** knows? But I know one things, you don’t!
Point: Well, you just admitted to imagining violence on others!
Counter-Point: I swear b****, I will come over there and beat you silly. F*** this, I’m getting back to my game.

Too lazy to write my own article about this right now but I wouldn’t call this the meat of the issue.
Any adult should only have responded to this with uproarious laughter. It was such a blatantly pathetic attempt at deflection when Trump and others tried to once again pin these events, and the behavior that leads to them, on “violence in video games.”
It isn’t even worth discussing. Al you can really say is “Are you joking? Do you even hear yourself right now?”
Notice how no one has blamed video games for anything but sexism, in *years*, even during the first year of a Republican controlled government? I think as a society most intelligent people have come to understand how ridiculous it is to blame games or music or media for anything. Other than sexism.
