To play devil's advocate (heh). The traditional right mostly cares about making violent or sexual content unaviable to kids. Most didn't care what adults did with their games, at worst they tell you you are a manchild wasting your time.
This is groypers and other glowing groups that think the right isn't extremist enough, so they coincidentally drive normies away with thots posing as purists(?) and other kinds of purity spirals
the SeXbox controversy begs to differ. The trad right had their panties in a twist because Mass Effect, an M-rated game, had an R-rated sex scene in it that supposedly kids could watch.

And now it's troons and struggle sessions, maybe you should have payed attention to what they were saying? Maybe if those issues had been given more credence things would not be 1000x worse now?
Yeah, they totally weren't doing it. Uh huh. It's all made up "supposedly" that kids were playing Mass Effect. Now it's all "supposedly" that kids are being trooned and exposed to gay porn in schools.
One day you will realise that they are saying exactly the same thing about YOU now that they were saying about legitimate issues then. But not today it seems.
what videogames kids consumed at the time was 100% on the parents. Games had to be bought or rented at physical stores. Games were well labeled like movies were. There was no need to ban or censor videogame because a bunch of pearl catchers cried "think of the children!!!".
You want something to blame for kids trooning out? blame actual Internet porn.
You said "trad right" not politicians like Tipper Gore and Hillary Clinton.
The "trad right" wanted awareness. I worked a rental counter when GTA 3 came out, and people had absolutely no idea what they were renting for their 8 year old kids. And even trying to explain to them went over their head because people are NPCs, if someone doesn't make noise about a game, they would never know they were picking up soft core porn for their kids.
The push to ban games was not the same as "hey, they are selling porn to kids!" Just like, oh idk, the current debate about books in school libraries?
Yes, that's what I meant.
Honestly, looking at how they made Geoff keighley look reasonable of all people, I'm thinking this was another industry effort (ie. Jack Thompson) to shit on Fox news for being out of touch, because they clearly don't know what they are talking about
"Won't someone please think of the children!" has been used as entryism forever. It's what every attempt to censor the Internet or remove anonymity leads with. If's what the pearl-clutches have always lead with.
Problem is now, after they've cried wolf so many times, sickos are actually going after the children and no one wants to admit it's real.
