    I recind my assensment, you are fringe. Drinking the "games make you violent and sexist, except the ones I play" Kool-aid with gusto.

    It is harder to notice when you're not experiencing it yourself.
    Hi, gamer here.
    Our community has been constantly threatened by a moarlistic minority who have been trying to censor my media, something I care about, for decades.

    We were and still are judged for liking something other people dont, the right used to call us murderers in waiting and now the left call us mysogynists.

    The only thing keeping censorship away has been an earnest effort by the majority of our community to dispell the fearmongering that has seeped into the mass media and only recently are we being accepted by the mainstream as something other than a tickng timebomb, we still have to work on the mysigynistic pigs thing but we'll get there all the same. .

    In this case, with "I don't care" I meant the literal meaning.
    And he goes and ignores everything I have been saying

    Hey, @Ironside, @Husar, @Sir Moody, you know when I mentioned the Horseshoe theory? That the far right and far left are closer related to eachother than the center? This is what I meant.:

    There are three cases (that I know of, maybe there's more) in which murders were committed by kids or adolescent males where they themselves admitted they did because they were inspired by GTA.

    In 2003, Devin Smith, a 16 year old, was arrested for driving a stolen vehicle. After being taken into custody, he took the gun from police officers, shot and killed three. He showed no remorse later and said "Life is a game. You've got to die sometimes." GTA fan.

    An 8 year old played GTA in 2013, and shot his grandmother in the back of her head. Investigators discovered that just prior to the shooting, he was playing GTA.

    A 14 year old boy, Eldon Samuel, admitted to a premeditated murder of his father and brother. He shot his father three times in the head and shot his brother four times with a shotgun and failed to kill him. After that, he stabbed his brother several times. He later admitted he was inspired by Trevor from GTA V, and wanted to emulate him.

    Also, The American Psychological Association, The American Medical Association, The American Academy of Pediatrics, The American Psychiatric Association and The American Academy of Child & Adolescent Psychiatry, all believe there is a causal link between violent virtual behavior and real world violence.

    If there is a link between violence in games and violence in real life, it is logical enough to assume there is a link between sexism in games and sexism in real life.

    Maybe all those cases are coincidences, maybe top medical and psychiatry association got it all wrong, but it is enough for me to seriously consider what they have to say.
    The guy who has been supporting you with thanks and snide comments has just gone full Jack Thompson.

    I cant believe my bait actually worked, holy crap.

    Being better than the worst does not inherently make you good. But being better than the rest lets you brag.
