Christopher Ferguson, a professor at Stetson University in Florida who has studied the impact of such games on the public, said he is surprised at Macron's comments. The president is 45 years old and belongs to a generation raised with video games, so "seeing him mention this is almost anachronistic," Ferguson said, sounding perplexed.
This is why you know it's bad when dumb politicians and others try to blame video games for everything when even fucking professors are coming out and going "No, there's no evidence for this". Psychologists everywhere back this up as well, there is no evidence. It's just scapegoating bullshit and makes me angry fuck anyone who tries to push this.
I also fucking hate how porn is automatically stapled to video games as if they have any connection with each other, even by the logic of people who are against this stuff you can see them really fucking stretching their logic to justify it themselves. I have kind of adopted a zero tolerance policy to anyone that actually blames video games and means it these days, fuck them, don't want anything to do with them. You may as well declare yourself anti-fun.
The young WEF stuff is quite fascinating and they're clearly people being groomed for the next generation of leadership. Trudeau for example with the freedom trucker protest was a test for him to see how far he'd go for the WEF because Klaus Schaub was pretty much hinting at that big time. These people are such fucking creeps.

I mean, its about as dumb as lumping "video games" together in their effects on a person or mind beyond their basic description.
Because whatever effects games can have on a brain, will not be the same across the games themselves. A guy who plays city sims or farming games will have a completely different personality and result than someone playing COD, or Starcraft.
So when they put a blank check across all games, its an easy sign right there that they are just scapegoating. At least when they blamed COD or GTA back in the day, they were a lot closer to making sense even if they were wrong.
"It gets people talking about the wrong thing. They're thinking about video games. They're not thinking about gun control or whatever inequalities are happening in France," Ferguson said.
You're right I missed that and LOL gun control in France, that's hilarious. Still goes back to my main point, even obvious lefties like this guy are going "Nah you're out of order with that one".
There ARE inequalities in France. Specifically, the local residents are policed, fined, judged, and ruled over far more strictly than the influx. Same as any western nation. Solve those inequalities!
As someone who loves vidya I'd almost agree with the critique of video games and porn if he had been making the opposite point. Games, porn, football, and whatever it is the French like to indulge in... baguettes? These things are distractions that serve to pacify the population so we DON'T rise up and do what needs to be done to remove foreign occupiers and corrupt elites from our nations. They don't contribute to violence. They are the opiate of the masses.
I don't believe that people like this have any actual hobbies worth talking about, the reason being is as others have pointed out if it isn't video games and porn they'll be bitching about the evils of something else. They did it with rock music back in the day as well.
The joke is I've seen people on the opposite side doing that so they have an excuse to bash video games lol. I can't fucking stand any of it, it's just cringe political factions all vying to see who can bash gamers the most and make sure new games can't be made.

Macron is only 45!
I assumed he was closer to Trudeau's age.
Deep state plant like Obama. I also think he's been around since the Obama era. Does this guy go away?

It gets weirder when you realise that his wife is older than him and was his teacher.

That professor still finds a way to cuck out:
Muh inequalities

He’s right about gun control, there’s not enough guns.

People on here also lump porn together with video games to defend loli because games and porn are the exact same if they think it helps their argument
