Videogames Are Bad

So as the drawing states, today I went to school and decided to terrorize everyone. So I decided to do this videogame style. So I entered the school and suddenly got a random battle sequence. I was there facing 3 armoured enemies and we decided to use turn-based combat. I was outnumbered, I could not win. I was close to dying but then I had a potion in my inventory so I used it. I then defeated all the enemies, the battle was over and the victory fanfare played.

The above paragraph sounds pretty stupid doesn’t it? Well to some parents it might just show my insanity. In case you can’t tell what I am talking about, I am talking about relating school shootings to videogames. So suddenly killing terrorists by clicking a mouse is the same as firing a gun at real people. Video games offer a player the ability to do a lot of shit they are not able to do in real life. You will never get the chance to kill space Nazis in real life.

The reason videogames get blamed for all this crap is because parents don’t understand them. It’s easy to blame something you don’t understand. Remember how Evils was the music of the devil? Or how Mark David Chapman killed John Lennon because of Catcher in the Rye? People blamed that stuff because they didn’t understand it. Now what? We look at that now and we think it’s a joke.
