Hey RFK question. How are you supposed to commit shootings when your butts glue to a couch 24/7 plain grand theft auto? Oh that's right you can't
Hey RFK question. How are you supposed to commit shootings when your butts glue to a couch 24/7 plain grand theft auto? Oh that's right you can't
Blaming everything but the actual problem for the problem typical right-wing talking points.
Once again, not true! Everyone knows that video games are not real, and the reason why people play video games is to take a break from the real world, because the real world is a very stressful place.
Oh, FFS 🤦🏼♀️
Wrong. It’s guys who shoot bears, take a photo of them, and leave them in Central Park that are the bad influence.
It’s almost always white supremacy behind mass shootings. But sure, blame a bunch of pixels.
Here we go "again". 🤦🏾♂️
Literally anything but gun control
Here we go again… 🤦♂️
Millions of kids played video games & none of them committed mass shootings. Also, the US is not the only country with video games, but is the only country with mass shootings regularly.
Close enough, welcome back Jack Thompson!
It's mentally ill teens on far-right spaces guys
Yes, yes band video games and let MAGA bros mind fuck them selves into agreeing with the nonsense. 🤣🤣
They’ll just blame all the “woke” games
They'll just call all video games "woke"
I wonder how a proposal to ban Call of Duty would go over with the Republican voter base.
RFK is a moron. It is objectively untrue, the supposed link to videogames and violence, especially shootings. What an utter r—tard.
His face is shaped all types of fucked. He looks like the fairy you see after trying fent for the first time.
Believing in conspiracy theories is highly related to brain worm infestation. 🤷🏻♂️
Didnt we already go through this a decade ago???
First time around for games started up in 1992, so 33 years ago now.
Actually, this whole debacle is older than video games itself. Just replace it with movies, books, music, board games, etc. You'll get those same talking points coming from those very same people despite the amount of research and studies that disprove the notion.
Very true, is just as soon as something new comes around and they dont understand it, it must be evil, (although it was shown through some recent studies, over use of screened devices can cause brain decay iirc, but i dont think this disproves the point) its just seemingly human to fear the unknown
Yeah, was just meaning video games with the 1992 thing. That was fresh off the back of the PMRC mess. The Filthy Fifteen makes for a pretty great playlist.
Nice to see that after 30 years we're back to this old tired excuse of why America has a mass shooting every other week. Can't wait to see them blaming Rock and Roll and obvious villains from kids cartoons when that excuse falls through again.
You’re saying all that time playing Hitman was just for fun?!
It's true what they say: You don't have to be young to be stupid. This dead horse of a moral panic is just...really? 30+ years of evidence showing otherwise and they're STILL dragging this out. Then again, what do you expect from a regime that puts a junkie in charge of the health department.
RFK is likely a higher cause of shootings then video games.
Why does he sound like he's about to faint every two words?
Oh god is that what he sounds like?
He loves hurting himself… a lot.
Brainworm Bobby is full of excrement, and his lies smell as bad. Switzerland does NOT have an equivalent number (per capita) of guns, period. NOT handguns. NOT high-capacity semiautos. What they DO have, which we don't, IS STRICT GUN CONTROL!!
Swiss have guns, but are trained at them and all the population is basically reservist. But in fact switzerland doesn’t have video games, that’s the real reason there are no mass shootings
Nah, they're not trained. Ammo is limited and restricted etc.
They have mandatory military training but ok
But they don't have ammo, at least it's limited, they can't carry guns in public space etc. It's something completely different, lad
If somebody wanted to do a mass shooting the fact they can’t carry them in public spaces won’t be much of a limitation. I’m not the one who took Switzerland as an example with a faulty logic, it’s the brain worn dumbass who did it
Ah OK. So you're just plain stupid and can't read.
Didn’t you say “they can’t carry them in public” like it’s a strong argument and I’m the one who can’t read And then resort to insulting, alright…
Except it's not mandatory when you can just do civil service instead, which most young people opt to do. Get that military propaganda shit outta here
Dude is like "they have military training according to law from 1890, so it's must be true in 2025"
Fella doing the "just one more gun training bro then society will be safe" but unironically
Yes. Drunken uncle from Switzerland could fix American gun control
No, I don’t think “gun training and the US will be safe”. I just think taking the Swiss gun number per population as an argument for “availability of guns isn’t the problem” is plain wrong and stupid as an argument
Bro, you started this...
What did I start? I never said “gun training saves the US” and it wasn’t my thought. If Americans that don’t think gun control might work take Switzerland as an example they are just plain dumb to do so
Was just reading up on their conscription laws. If you opt for alternative service, it's 50% longer than military conscription. And if you're deemed unfit for service, they charge you an extra 3% tax until you're 37. When given a chance to end conscription, the Swiss public voted against that.
Yes military propaganda sits deep in Central Europe. Austria also voted against abolishing mandatory service in 2013 despite no sensible person actually enjoying that shit.
Yeah, but I'm sure there's a sense of patriotism about it, and also an element of: "Hell, if I did it, everyone should have to do it!" But it's not just the old vs. the young. The numbers were overwhelming. And also, Russia. Plus, there's been more war in Europe than here, so it's more real.
Russia currently can't even take over their smaller neighbor so I'm not worried about them making it to Central Europe, where if they would make it a standing army in Switzerland and/or Austria could do fuckall to stop it without support from bigger nations
I hear first hand that folks in Finland are nervous.
"I had to do it so now you have to" always was dumbass shit, as is patriotism. It absolutely is old vs. young if you look at the fact that most of the people still having to do the service couldn't vote against it.
Something like 73% voted for it. Bear in mind, too, that only men are conscripted, so there's something else going on there. Age distribution is long-term stable.
You just need a copy of your ID and a criminal records check to buy ammo. You can have it shipped to your house
Can somebody get this fucker a space ship so he can go back to his home planet with Edgar?
I have never heard him talk before but he sounds like he is on the brink of death o.O why do politicians have to be Fossils?
These braindead movie villain types are picked by this administration because they are on a payroll and loyal to the mob boss. (Probably on the Epstein list too)
He sounds like a chain smoker, someone I wouldn't want to take health advice from.
In this case it's spasmodic dyphonia, a condition he developed in the 90's, not related to age.
Another one pointed that out and I am sorry for attributing it wrongly. I truly didn't know
These people dont get courtesy. Fuck him. He sounds like if his father survived the assassination
There's a drug for it (botox) that lets him speak normally, but he stopped taking it.
This Kennedy doesn't deserve any kind of apology.
It’s ok he’s a piece of shit no matter what he sounds like.
yeah I frequently tell people despite my struggles with alcohol and addiction they should fucking slam the addicts in the Trump admins head into the glass
ever since I found out he is the cause of his first wifes suicide, all cos of how much he cheated and writing about it, always thought he deserved worse
It runs in his family, apparently. His younger sister has it too.
I'm not defending his politics but please be more considerate when discussing someone's health. RFK has a vocal disorder called spasmodic dysphonia. People in their 30s can develop it. It's not connected to being older.
Sorry in that case. I truly didn't know and would edit my tweet of I could. He is still a scumbag though. He should be in a retirement home or grave and not running a health devision
No worries! I think his politics suck but I think it's a really admirable thing to have a disorder like that in public office. I hope others who may be shy because of similar conditions are able to hear RFK and be empowered to serve in government. But yeah, terrible head of HHS.
I hope they don't hear him. Not because of his disability but because everything he say is fucking vile. More power to those who have that condition, bunnot to him. Never to him. But many people in the US government should just stop
Sorry I don’t give a shit about heroin addicts
Yup because Switzerland famously banned video games
@badmedicaltakes.bsky.social
His face is offset by 20 pixels, this means RFK's brain is also offset by 20 pixels, thus crushing the brain towards the right side of his skull, impeding his critical thinking abilities.
I am so sick of this stupid old bastard.
I hope this man dies a very painful death
If, as he claims, videogames are linked to mass shootings because all people committing mass shootings play videogames (and should be outlawed) wouldn't, using his same logic, all people who have weapons be potentially linked to mass murderers and so these should be outlawed & the people prosecuted?
Sounds like a great way to mobilize an entire generation against him. I say let him go for the video games and see how it works out for them.
Not guns but videogame. You have choose this people
Wow, this asshole believes *all* the bullshit, doesn't he?
Oh oh… now he’s blaming the nerds for mass shootings!
Man that Astro Bot game has really made me so violent. And that Stardew Valley makes me want to hulk out 😤😤😤
he permanently looks like he's gonna blow up. it's so damn funny
sooo ban video games but not guns, got it.
¡Ah! That on-line sessions between Hitler, Mussolini, Stalin, Hiroito and Franco playing Call of Duty...¡There is the link!😂
Why don't those MAGA fuckers get a taste of their own guns?
1/2 One thing my mom taught me when I was young playing my PS2 for the first time. One of my favorite games was Sly 3 Honor among thieves she taught me the importance of disassociating reality and fiction. What happens in the game is not real. If I can do it in the game it doesn't mean I can do...
2/2 it in real life. She told me this a second time years later before I played GTA5 for the first time. The point I'm trying to get at is patenting is whats needed here we need to teach our kids the difference between reality and fiction and what's right and wrong. It's not games it's much deeper.
Added context I was about 5-6 when playing Sly 3, and 14-15 when playing GTA for the first time.
It's funny because a lot of incel idiots are very pro Trump so I hope this idiot actually acts against video games and hurts these morons.
Man they are that desperate to not have the white supremacists with guns talk that they’re trotting that old chestnut out again.
It's the fault of any-and-everything that isn't guns or white conservatives.
Sigh's Nobody can get a break can I?..... Guesses this is why I'm cheering for the fucking nuke
Are You Fucking Kidding Me? WE'RE REALLY BRINGING THAT SHIT BACK?! SOCIETY HAS REGRESSED THAT MUCH?!
Typical fuckin boomer
Goddammit i'm so freaking sick of that excuse!
someone just do it already. Nobody wants to hear this scum talk anymore.
There’s literally more of an argument that video games prevent violence… Source: www.inquirer.com/opinion/comm...
Almost like having a constructive outlet for violent tendencies is preferable to the real thing...
Most every country has video games too. We are the only country that has a mass shooting problem.
What a pathetic, rotten, misinformed, poor, worm-devoured creature.
youtu.be/9pOiOhxujsE?...
Right and rap music turns people into gang members n drug dealers.
At every shooting, you’ll find weapons. But no joysticks or controllers. I guess, that gives a clue somehow 🤔
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of... Funnily enough, there wasn't video games in the 1800s.
Go figure he would go with the blame game that's basically an excuse to not think or acknowledge actual issues.
Everyone within ear shot, if you live in the US and you've never once looked up who the candidates are for your city/town's elections for mayor, planning commission, or other various positions. I strongly recommend you start caring more than once every 4 years about politics.
Did we just travel back to the 90s?
And then he advocates for kids to bring guns to school.
Why don't you use alt text?
It's a picture of RFK and a controller icon...?
It's not for me. It's a method of universal design we can all use so that folks who need screen readers to process visual information like this have access.
What a surprise. Someone who knows nothing pointing a finger at a non-problem about something unrelated to anything.
These guys always point to other causes but never mention any solutions. So if it’s video games does he propose censorship of video games? Restricting the type of content that kids can engage in online or in games? If it’s mental illness, do we provide care to prevent that?
That man needs to shut the fuck up... Get out, get some sun, get some treatment, get some help and shut the fuck up.
Other places have videos games, movies, trans people or any other “reason” they come up with. Other places don’t have guns or mass shootings. Only the US. So maybe there’s the link
Other places also don't have the insane white supremacy that we have or massive mental health problems that we have. But let's just ignore those problems instead and blame the guns like everyone does all the time
Not this shit again.
Oh god. Not this bullshit again.
he's just doing the thing old people do lmfao
Man whose father and uncle were shot long before video games were invented claims video games cause shootings
Jeez that was like fifteen moral panics ago! Try to keep up, RFK Jr!
No, Violence is not linked to Videogames. There’s been enough studies done to conclude videogames don’t make people orchestrate mass shootings. Now Mental Health Issues have been predominantly connected to gun violence, which Trump and his Regime have defunded gutting the NIH/CDC @culturecrave.co
We’re not doing this again.
Picture of RFKjr . If it's a conspiracy or wacky theory he will promote it!
Oh boy, I remember hearing this trash when I was a kid in elementary and the first Mortal Kombat came out. What’s old is new again.
Oh my fucking god! WHY. THE. FUCK. IS IT ALWAYS VIDEO GAMES TO USE AS A SCAPEGOAT FOR SHOOTINGS, HOW CAN YOU BE SO DENSE AND MENTALLY FUCKING BRAIN-DEAD, RFK!? JFC, VIDEO GAMES HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH ANY SHOOTING THAT OCCURS, SHUT THE FUCK UP!!! SMH!
Nah it's the guns and now it's rfk's openly killing kids with his parade of plagues he will be unleashing. Fucking Republicans are just pure dog shit and should just die.
This is the natural result of your family having enough money that everyone around you tells you you're a smart special boy whose ideas are so clever and always right. I wouldn't trust this guy to house sit a plant.
I wonder how many mass shootings Japan has... Oh, none? Wonder why that is...
This dumbass is stuck in the 90s and not in the good way
Who should we believe: the millions of researchers that say the opposite or some guy with a worm?
Here we go again…
He's stupid and evil.
Just doing everything he can in his last 5 minutes of fame to try and make every last person pissed off at him
Why do old ass men continue blaming video games when theyre actively out there murdering CHILDREN with their own scientifically-debunked beliefs? Fuck off RFK.
Because they need literally any cause that isn't them.
Yeah its....rhetorical.
Conservative politicians and their lies and beliefs are the biggest hypocrites as well as the largest threat to the US we've ever seen since 9/11 and Pearl Harbor.
Oh to be a fly on the wall in the home of a conservative gamer.
Spy zappin mah sentry
His attitude is linked to mass shooting.
Okay, someone should tease out the logical conclusion of his assertions and ask him point-blank: "so, health dude who looks like a gas-station hot-dog and sounds like a busted vacuum cleaner with a nickel stuck in the roller, what do you propose to DO about that?"
Anything but gun control.
Welcome back to the early 2000s
he’s a fucking brainworm infested mummy
He's literally a danger to people's health
oh my god are we actually doing this bullshit again
Also more than just yt men/boys play video games but somehow they the ones committing mass shootings
Yeah they conveniently leave that part out 🤨
No actually every single trans person is responsible for every mass shooting (it has happened like twice)
If I had a nickel for every time Republicans blamed video games and not a lack of gun control for the excessive gun violence and shootings in America, I would be a billionaire.
I've already seen this. Next will be something kinda "rap is evil", "reading batman makes you kids gay" or some conspiracy theories like "Wizard of Oz is sync with dark side of the moon".
Bro is this 2002??😭😭😭
It's the guns!!!
Conservative "gamers" are gonna find out real fucking soon why they backed the wrong horse. Fuck those gamergate nitwits.
I can’t believe Kirby would do this.
Studies? By experts? Ridiculous. Much better to trust the heroine addict with the brain worm from eating too much roadkill.
same guy that said my disorder destroys families
If sneakilly you start piling dishware in the bathtub, bedsheets on the upper kitchen cabinet, knives on the first aid kit so they pop out when you open it, bath supplies in the fridge, the cat's scratch post under the bed, grown ups clothes around the house, the remote in the terrace &so on.. /Jk
Oh boy, here we go again. That didn't went well last one time you tried to mess with the gaming space. They expect different results and NOT piss the gaming community?
These games are played worldwide. How come the shootings only happen here?
Are we back in 90's or wtf?
Also dismissed by the department of common sense Every developed nation has video games. Only one has a mass shooting problem
So the brain-worm nimrod is pulling a Jack Thompson now? #RemoveRFKjrNow
And then people wanna say it's "The Kennedy Curse".
Must be the worm talking. 🤔
That's really funny. How about stop Meta and Microsoft to create realistic simulations for soldiers to use/train then? Playing Balatro really is creating a lot of serial killers. Hey, shittiest Kennedy, did you know Cain also played video games?
I swear time is a flat circle. Are we really at the ‘video games cause violence’ discourse again?
That brain worm needs to hurry tf up
Lol he’s welcome to try something. The gaming industry as a whole is worth too god-damn much for him to succeed at peddling this kind of shit. Microsoft alone would probably destroy his career
Can someone put grandpa in a home already?
Video games don’t kill people. Politicians do.
These fucking politicians genuinely think we were born yesterday. Fuck off!
Brain worm logic for you.
I think you’ll find massive shootings are linked to the prevalence of automatic weapons in KMart.
His nephew got his brains blown out by our government, and yet he's still actively trying to shovel their bullshit agenda down our throats. I hope that he realizes that he'll just line himself up to be stabbed in the back eventually too. The price of being a professional political pawn.
Jesus fucking christ here we go again, this time these idiots might be stupid enough to actually do something.
OH, FUCK OFF, YOU FOSSILIZED PILE OF SHIT. Your old ass probably can't figure how to right click a computer mouse!
another dumbass
They literally have no juice lol
Or how about the fact that every country in the world has violent video games but only the country overflowing with guns that has the gun violence problem.
hasn't he lost multiple relatives to gun violence? Shouldn't he treat that subject with more maturity than this?
Here we go again
Pretty sure they're linked to guns.
They are definitely going to lose the young now. My generation hated this and might be one of the reasons millennials were very liberal.
I knew he was stupid, but this is ridiculous
The guy with brainworms who wants to genocide autistic people and promotes an US president who's on the Epstein list, apparently sees scawwy blwod & gyuns as a bigger issue. Clown...
So fucking stupid I can’t stand it here like PLEASE refer to actual science and evidence before saying something so idiotic
Making tanks and sports cars fall out of the sky then starting chases and mass drive-bys involving a city's entire police department is linked to video games, but thankfully I have yet to see anyone pull that off. #GrandTheftMAGA
Also… pretty much every country in the world is playing the same video games and we don’t have e the mass shootings. This is just a lame old talking point that dodges the real issue. He may as well blame reefer and jazz music.
we can't keep having this debate
"gAmEs MaKe PeOpLe ViOlEnT" my ass.
I’m m 51 yrs old, and have been gaming since the age of 3-4 and not once in my entire life have I ever wanted to go on a mass shooting murderous rampage like those losers who perform these heinous acts. So to RFK I say this, go fuck yourself you piece of shit ogre.
Go to your room RFK JR… your mom removed you from her family. The USA should follow her example.
Rid everyone of every tiny piece of joy they still have, heh. What an asshole.
Other countries don’t have video games I guess. Or it’s something else they don’t have I’m not sure.
each day I question how this guy is the son and nephew of two influential and highly praised democrats
His grandfather was in the mob. What is your problem with US history?
whoa shit I’m sorry I was talking about JFK and RFK Sr.
Apologizes it was his great-grandfather Joseph P. Kennedy Sr
They weren’t all that great either. People just put them on a pedestal because they got assassinated.
They do it Reagan and he was only shot, too bad they only shot the tangerine in the ear he could have made the list of people Democrats love praising in speeches.
Reagan didn’t get killed though. Also he’s not a *sparkle* Kennedy *sparkle*, America’s Royal Family!™️, though tbh I think the bloom finally wore off when Johnny Jr. took a header into the ocean. As for Trump, I doubt him being ocfed would have provoked anything but horrified fascination and relief.
All facts.
nihil novi
Games cause violence, movies cause violence, books cause violence. I'm pretty sure Christian Nationalists cause violence.
No, no, no....it's the heavy metal rock music 🎶🎵 Blame that ungodly degenerate Ozzy!! 🤪🤔🤣😂🤣 #RockOnOzzyRIP
Oh look someone is trying to be the next Jack Thompson, just hope he fails twice as hard at it as he did.
30 YEARS! 30 years we've had of this bullshit! Could it may be to do with the easily availability and obsession of guns in America? What about all the other countries that play videogames? Japan mass shootings = 4 Europe mass shootings (Across ALL of Europe) = 35 American mass shootings = 688
There are other factors than just us having guns. Even looking in the past when we had less restrictions on guns we didn't have the shootings we did. But we were more united and less mentally broken than today. It's easy to point at the guns and blame them if you ignore everything else.
Man with brainworms says brainworm things.
Ah yes, since America is the only country with these games…
He's so late with this b.s.
maybe, just maybe, the real problem is the ease of access to guns?
guns don't kill people videogames do
I wonder how close they are to bringing old Jack Thompson in to help out with this. 🤣
I'm kinda surprised he didn't seek a cabinet position in this regime.
He's been disbarred permanently from practicing law since 2008 by the Florida Supreme Court for inappropriate conduct. So unless he's brought back in some other capacity or the 2008 decision is reversed Jack's likely to remain in the landfill of history where he belongs.
Including harassing opposing law counsel and their clients, at home, during dinner.
So that's the level of unhinged behavior required to get disbarred permanently in Florida?
Just some of the nearly 40 charges against him.
Yep! I hope he stays there as well. I heard somewhere he teaches law to inmates now.
Ooof, well they won't learn a damn thing ,or what he teaches will just land them back in prison.
Didn't know that! I hope he's a better teacher than an attorney.
You have to be pretty bad to be disbarred in Florida. 😆
No doubt about that!
Seriously? Are we doing this again?
Getting real tired of hearing it.
Damn, pulling out Ol’ Reliable already
Here we go again. Seriously is been proven it has nothing to do with games. It’s to do with where and how they are brought up. NOTHING TO DO WITH A FICTIONALISED WORLD
Do we have to keep doing this
he needs to shut the fuck up
yeah i’m learning all kinds of violence from my favorite game
Not this shit again. When are these insane old ppl finally gonna croak
Jack Thompson with a side of brain worms.
Sigh. I’ll say the same thing I did when Joe Lieberman was waving around carmageddon and shit - women in this country play video games too, even shooters and horror games and do not go out and do AR killing sprees. People in other countries play the same video games and don’t do it either. Explain.
It’s literally GWB’s presidency all over again.
Oh yes of course bring back the 'video games cause mass shootings' lie. Why the hell not? We'll just put this latest pile of bullshit with the rest of the fertilizer.
damn they pulling from the classics
I did successfully perform a brain surgery irl, after playing Surgeon Simulator, so he might have a point there
Is it the fucking pre 2010s again?
Mass shootings, like everything bad, are linked to being a fucking fascist.
Why do mass shootings not happen almost daily in every other country with video games? Strange...
Just look at Japan. They love video games as much or more than Americans yet they don't have a gun problem. Wonder what the difference is?
I am fucking seething and livid about this.
