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.

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.
