@lolipunk3069 @rlier23 @Vidmastereon I'm not saying they weren't.
I'm just going by the boomer parent train of thought

@PurpCat @rlier23 @Vidmastereon Televangelists have near always been glowie assets. [See the "Satanic Panic", and how televangelists and media were used to gaslight the public with a million red herrings, to keep them from looking into the actual satanic shit going on in Hollywood, Federal Government Agencies (FBI, CIA, etc...), the Military, and at certain schools in certain locales.]
And on that note, the whole "they just hate fun!" line is the classic kike/satanist/hedonist line to get dumbasses to get hooked on pleasures to the point of self-destruction. It was the go-to line for cocaine-peddlers, sodomites, and sex addicts.
And yet another reminder, the anti-video game push at the time was a bipartisan endeavor, so the "muh evol religious right" frame is a case of blatant historical revisionism. [The shitlibs of the day were just as actively pro-censorship then as they are now.]

@Vidmastereon @rlier23 moralfags and boomers. Even if they're not the source they love to parrot it.
Remember the butthurt from Alex linder that amounted to "your kids and your Chinese ching chong cartoons"
-
@Vidmastereon @rlier23 To add to this; there was a different group of people angry back then and now.
The old generation of moralfags were both boomers worried that their kids would mimic the television/video games (which would lead to hit pieces about how "the shooter/criminal was found with a game that depicted the same thing"), censors/the usual suspects playing into their worries, or stereotypical religious pastors/imams bitching about their kid being into a popular video game franchise/book series.
In a way, this mindset ended up making religion uncool, coming off as a tool for your boomer family members to use to smash your hobbies or to harass you for doing anything they don't like. Why would any kid go to church when it's some boomer screeching at you for having fun, or your family using it to do so?
The new wave of Tumblrites and varieties of this are different in their reasons for puritanism. While some of them are "think of the children", as anti natalism thrives much of their arguments boil down to "pixels/drawings have rights". To them, the world of Wreck It Ralph in which video games are just things that take place on the "other side" of the glass is real. They're not doing it to protect kids, hell they're not going to have kids. They're doing it because cartoons have rights.

@PurpCat @rlier23 @Vidmastereon The thing with boomers [even back then] is that they blindly believe whatever the man on TV says, as they've more or less been conditioned to see the man on TV as the trustworthy authority.

@rlier23 i think Ene is on to something

@PurpCat @rlier23 @Vidmastereon The '70s and '80s were a time when practical effects were getting especially good at feigning gruesomeness, and from the '80s into the '90s is when graphical fidelity in video games was making a quantum leap ahead, with the rapid advancement in computer hardware at the time. Some of the fears borne from this situation were due to widely and publicly accessible new technology that wasn't very well understood, and where the implications and effects of these developing technologies wasn't really known yet.
On some level, though, music, movies and video games were probably seen as a convenient scapegoat for the ill and adverse affects of various methods and techniques of social engineering being tested by the CIA and the like. And with the decline in Insane Asylums to care for the mentally ill [in part due to scandals of subpar care], naturally the Powers That Be would want to use their long-established propaganda tools to distract the masses from their own shady dealings and divert that attention elsewhere. [Seems to be one of their favorite plays. It's still effective today.]

@lolipunk3069 @rlier23 @Vidmastereon pretty much
It's just the propaganda is more effective if it plays to their fears

@rlier23 rockstar absolutely saw what some players were doing to the suffragettes in RDR and are working to correct that behavior by only allowing you to attack their approved targets
this is just priming the pump
>annoying diversity character you cant kill
Why cant i kill this thing it is annoying
>you just want to kill minorities
I was allowed to do this stuff in every other rockstar game
>you are just [thought terminating cliche]
Makes me think that GGGman isnt just being oversocialized but is astroturfing
Save this for when im right

@Vidmastereon @rlier23 this all being an evil conspiracy explains the early reply of "you kill CIVILIANS?! I only ever killed COPS!"
