Jesus Christ, if true, what the holy incompetence.
it’s supposed to connect ‘steam’ with ‘extremism’ instead of something like Twitter, Truth, or Fox to coincide with their recent ‘fact finding mission’
Absolutely, here is RFK on Sept 10 saying they cause mass shootings. (Completely ignoring the ENTIRE WORLD OUTSIDE THE US)
https://www.newsweek.com/rfk-video-games-mass-shootings-gun-violence-2127808
Also Congress has called for the leaders of discord, steam, Reddit and twitch to come and testify about extremism.
I don’t see any of the social media heads who donated to Trump’s inaugural on that list.
That’s unexplainable textile mill fires. Steam is connected to unexplainable textile mill fires, not
autismshit video games.
I bet he played violent video games, like Among Us
I wish we lived in a time before videogames when there were no political assassinations or mass shootings.
/s <-- do I even need this?
Famous gamer John Wilkes Booth.
Brutus was way better at Halo
Lincoln ruined his killstreak and swatting wouldn’t be invented for three more years, by famous inventor Thomas “I made up the N word” Edison.
No no, you’re thinking of Charles Guiteau.
just leave it to someone who’s gonna be french but not gonna be properly french to go and french things up
wouldnt those graphs look similar though, even if just by coincidence?
Motivated by radical pirate ideology confirmed.
I blame Microsoft
Same.
Because it’s saying “leftists play video games, rightists play and watch sports” without saying it. Same with the “serially online” thing.
Lol, just check out WoWs general chat to find as many right wingers as you want.
Yeah but that’s not the perception uh people that think they’re offline rightists have.
Ikr? Blog, content creation, videos, Facebook. Like they constantly are looking for everything they could possibly do online.
Or literally any fps. You dont even have to play things like CS or R6 to know, that shouting racial slurs into the voice Chat is relatively common in this games.
And lots of fps.
Would love some MAGA to say this to me. Then I whip their ass in any game or sport they want to play. Gravy Seals can get balled on.
I am telling you that there is proof video games effect people. Ever notice how most people born in the 80s grew up and all became plumbers? I mean sure all the competition has driven costs down for all of us and with just a little work you can find a plumber that will do the work for free, but a lot of these plumbers can no longer support their families and are forced to live in sewers and fight turtles for food.
affect.
You affect things. Things have an effect.
Lifehack: just use the word impact instead.
You’d probably want to use a colon instead of a comma there.
Thanks. I never really got a good grasp on colon usage or the more nefarious semicolon.
:( Ah, I didn’t mean to actually criticize you lol I was just running with the anal grammar nazi comment chain pattern. You’re good, a comma works fine enough.
This is the one rule I get wrong every time
also you effect an effect
Isn’t English great?
And the turtle with the stick is super OP compared to the rest.
But all of them have trouble swimming around dams.
all the trees are square now and I’m scared to go out at night.
Jesus Christ, if true, what the holy incompetence.
Nothing incompetent about it. Just evil this time.
They want a profile of the guy. They want to sell him as a left-wing extremist. They’ll outright lie about it if they have to–they mostly have already–but lies work better when they’re based on some level of truth.
The fuckheads in office are searching for stuff they can blame. It’s couldn’t possibly because he was a right wing nutjob. Oh no it must be video games! Time to start cracking down on that now!
Dumb fucks…
right-wing nutjob
Didn’t he directly criticize Kirk as being hateful shortly before the shooting? Where’s this coming from?
Agreed that Steam is a really stupid place to be looking for anything of substance.
Well, maybe the fact that he left a negative review for a game he has over 2000 hours in signifies derangement on some level, if not political, lol.
Do you mean those totally legit messages that totally didn’t sound like it was a mix of someone from the 60s and cop speak? Or did he criticize somewhere else?
“I would like to remain unseen,” said the Genzer
You’re right, every piece of evidence that doesn’t confirm your biases must be fabricated.
There’s no other possibility.
My only bias in the situation is not trusting cops, espescially Trumps justice department and Patel’s FBI.
If you look for any information outside of what the administration says and what the news repeats, you will see many people believe it was fabricated. People who are the same age as him say it doesn’t read plausible, people on the far right say it doesn’t sound like anything they have read, leftists say it sounds like no kid they have come across, people who study linguistics say it doesn’t match someone his age and the writing cadence is weird, especially someone who spent as much time online as him.
It’s just super fishy, and I would be skeptical no matter who was in charge. I think a healthy dose of skepticism is important in today’s environment. We will find out more when this comes up in court.
Didn’t he directly criticize Kirk as being hateful shortly before the shooting? Where’s this coming from?
He was an active groyper.
The Groyper War began in the fall of 2019, when Fuentes and his followers launched a social media campaign targeting Turning Point USA’s “Culture War” college tour, led by Charlie Kirk. Motivated by the firing of a Fuentes ally and other conflicts, Groypers disrupted college events by asking provocative questions on immigration, Israel, and LGBT rights to challenge mainstream conservative figures like Kirk, Donald Trump Jr., and Ben Shapiro, whom they labeled “Conservative Inc.” for deviating from their far-right views.
This is also why Ben Shapiro went into hiding shitting himself.
Groypers disrupted college events by asking provocative questions
This is pretty much the opposite of what Robinson did, so…what are you talking about?
Also, groypers didn’t criticize Kirk because he ‘spreads too much hate’—if anything, they think he’s not extreme enough. Another direct contradiction.
I think you’re believing what you want to believe, not what the evidence points to.
How did he have time to practice his rifle skills? That’s my question.
Obviously video games train you to be master marksmen, and inject leftist ideology straight into your bloodstream to turn kids into political assassins.
I mean, I met enough shit shots who can’t figure out “if the hole in the paper is lower than where you’re aiming, aim more up” and video games kind of teach that kind of problem solving.
Depends on what games you play though. You surely aren’t learning this stuff from CS
those are 1 hit kills with massive hitboxes, right? it’s been a while.
Not really. In CS the first few shots go directly into the crosshair, but when firing continuously you have to aim downwards. So there its the other direction than in real life.
No wonder RFK jr says videogames lead to violence!
To me what’s stupid is that they found nothing, as most of us would have expected going through a steam account, and yet they are “leaking” this information and what kind of bullshit narrative are they trying to push this time.
Trying to back up RFK’s bullshit, disproven games caused mass shootings BS?
People who play Powerwash Simulator are not to be trusted.
How DARE you! … I mean, you’re not wrong but…
Especially if more than 100 hours
but I’m not sure what 2,000 hours in Sea of Thieves is supposed to tell us
Criminally insane.
The evangelicals supporting trump are responsible for the recent mastercard debacle to remove steam games. I wouldn’t be surprised if they start into a new wave “video games cause violence” bullshit.
Also I thought the kid seemed fairly normal but him being a SoT sicko makes me wonder.
I don’t know that 2000 hours in sea of thieves means he’s incompetent; sure the game can be finished faster but maybe he just really likes it
That’s because 22-year-old Tyler Robinson, who was charged earlier this week with murdering Kirk at a speaking event last week, reportedly used Donald Trump’s name as an alias on the Valve-owned gaming storefront at one point. Sources told Bloomberg the reference to the president is what led to the Secret Service’s involvement despite the Homeland Security agency having no role in protecting Kirk at the time of the assassination.

1.) If you didn’t vote in '22 or '24 and legally had the ability to do so, you’re not a Liberal or Progress, full stop.
2.) No Liberal or Progressive would want to be associated with Trump, even ironically for the “lols”.
He bagged some transgender baddie and it turned a God-fearing conservative white boy into a radical sleeper cell leftist assasin. That’s why they are trying to keep us transgender girlies down…
Sometimes the Stochastic Terrorism boomerangs.
This is exactly what intelligent people have been saying for years would happen.
Some MAGAt, primed for violence, finally figures out they’ve been lied to for 10 years & decided to put that penchant for violence to use.
Both of Trump’s would-be assassins were registered Republicans.
They know that we would be to OP if they just let us live in peace.
Yeah, if the published narrative is true this is a man who was taught by the right wing all their shit with guns and everything that came out of the militia movement through maga, then fell for a trans chick, and questioned the narrative but not the means then did what the right was amping up to do.
The left was taught through extreme state retaliation and intense media spin that violent actions work against our goals outside very specific situations (waiting for them to attack first in ways the center is horrified by). Between cointelpro and the green scare we’ve more or less learned to keep to demonstrations that strive to build popular support. Meanwhile during that same time the right has been building armed compounds because they understand the double standards. After Waco the government was afraid to crack down on righr wing paramilitaries.
👏👏👏
Specifically looking at the games he played, his name will show up constantly as:
Donald Trump was fragged by X. Donald Trump was stabbed by Y. X was splattered by Donald Trump.
Kill feeds, it’s an old joke for gamers. Obama splattered Miley Cyrus, that kind of shit. I don’t think ‘2.)’ is accurate, at all.
What year are you from?
Yes I understand killfeeds are different in each game, you can move on now.
Nah killfeeds are basically dead these days. Modern games are so information dense that many don’t even ship the feed and if they do most people don’t even notice it. That’s definitely not why someone would meme as Donald Trump.
It’s just rage bait and I agree with OP that no left/liberal person would cosplay Donald Trump because why would you rage bait your own side? It’s like an Ukrainian puting Putin avatar on - it makes no sense other than brain damage.
