........ And?

Why do we give a shit?

Why is this newsworthy?

Are we going to hear about his time working in retail soon? I'm sure it will provide deep insight to find out which store he worked at for 3 months, 8 years ago. clearly that's relevant information.

Because it's a opportunity to trot out the low hanging fruit of 'Videos games promote violence', providing a convenient target to point the finger at.

Didn't the disbarring of Jack Thompson teach them anything?

[–] makyo@lemmy.world 18 points 1 month ago

I don't want to be conspiratorial but this helps stop the class awakening all of this was helping bring about. The more we know about him, the more people will identify or not identify with him and then we're back to culture war being the conversation instead of class war.

Because they are going to milk every click they can, except anything that scares the billionaire overlords

I hear they're even worse than GTA players and 4channers combined!

CIV6 clearly radicalizes young people.

Seems like an irrelevant detail.

Wait, you are telling me he drank water too???

[–] sir_pronoun@lemmy.world 37 points 1 month ago (1 children)

That just makes him even more likeable

Media on their way to doxx and leak every single detail about a guy who MAYBE killed some rich heartless exec

Just wait till they extend that to his entire family.

[–] Rin@lemm.ee 6 points 1 month ago

Let's start doing the same to the journalists

My man's gonna get Epsteined

I prefer if he gets Nelson Mandela'd

Goes to jail for 27 gruelling years and comes out to a reform and becomes president?

[–] thefartographer@lemm.ee 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Goes to jail: yes

For 27 years: I'd prefer something more like 27 days

Comes out to a reform: I might need some educating on this

Becomes president: it would be an improvement

[–] apotheotic@beehaw.org 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

Reform: the part where the apartheid regime was overturned

I guess if I try to shoehorn it into this analogy, it would be a reform of the healthcare system in America

[–] thefartographer@lemm.ee 1 points 1 month ago

Oh, then yes! Reform the shit out of it!

[–] whyNotSquirrel@sh.itjust.works 10 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I knew it! it's because of his Nintendo or Gameboy!

[–] L0rdMathias@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 month ago

Grams Theft Auto singlehandedly causes all crime in America. We should've known it was the games all along.

I submitted a bug report that got a typo fixed on a Minecraft mod with 20 million downloads, where's my headline? :(

Blatant attempt to cash-in on his celebrity status.
