I know that. They don't. It's all about getting attention for themselves. Damned egomaniacs.

Why don't you just kill them, Ichigo?

Only if they attack me. Those bastards ain't worth facing the death penalty for.

In the years not long before I was born, comic books were said to be evil. That they would make a generation of kids into psychopaths. Every few years, it's one thing, or another that will make kids into raging psychopaths. Thompson is part of the third wave in the anti-videogame crusade.

I don't think Jack Thompson is necessarily anti-videogame; I think it's more so message favoritism than medium favoritism; it's not like violent video games were the only entertainment he targeted. When it comes to the idea that certain entertainment can be labelled a "bad influence" it's not just about the interpretation of the entertainment, but about the interpretation of reality as well, and I think that's an underexplored aspect of this. I mean, some of the taboos society forces on entertainment, like cursing, are questionable enough in real life to begin with.
