People call left wing podcast discourse to be terminally online but god damn how did these right wing become such soyboys crying about shooting at ones and zeros.

I hope someone makes a game where if you shoot a cop in the game, a cop magically dies irl.

    Did you… watch the video? His point is that even without real world harm, the game is still immoral— and he doesn’t even take that position, he just considers it.

      I didn’t watch the video. But given that wouldn’t most popular games be immoral. The vast majority of games involve killing.

        I mean he doesn’t actually tell you that it’s immoral, he says “maybe it’s immoral” and then says “I’ll play it” so he obviously doesn’t hate players, he just gives some interesting thoughts.

      If that’s the entire stance, then I agree. To the extent that games promote the status quo. Games like COD do not have real world consequences but it reinforces American hegemony. But GTA just takes the piss out of everything with few of the games having anything real to say, so it’s not immoral in my eyes.
