Emmanuel Macron backtracks on video games after blaming them for French riots
chaorace, 
A list of horrible, no-good things which video games definitely cause:
- Near-sightedness
- Satanism
- Obesity
- Communism
- Tardiness
- The gays
- Gun violence
- Hand/eye coordination
- And now… drumroll Rioting!
If the people in power say it is so, then it must be true.

I see we’ve teleported back into the 1990s during the violent video games scare among parents. Gotta make excuses instead of, you know, actually facing the real problems.

Some of the more conspiratorial political stuff out there is basically Satanic Panic 2.0.
chaogomu, You mean how some of the rightwing literally believe that they are somehow part of a war with Satan?
