Do you think this has anything to do with how they were raised, or is it because they're so wrapped up in their BS that it's affected their judgement?

I remember when as little as a decade ago, gamers all united to shut down the arguments of MSM pundits and self-serving politicians with that simple argument.

That what's happening on a screen is fictional and doesn't represent reality.

What happened to this mindset and when did some "gamers" forget this important distinction?
