Oh no, what's causing cancer this time?

Well, that's sad, they chose to focus on music and videogames. There were a lot of other problems this kid had, but they chose to focus on specific bands the kid listened to. Typical daily mail really.

Well, he did backstab her...

Other than that, you're kinda overreacting. They go through his entire personal life in almost disturbing detail, I really don't see them singling out video games specifically. Even the headlines vary neatly from "middle class drug user" to "loner who played video games".
its the same thing when someone shoots up a school in america. The media gives the attacker all the attention and they barely focus on the victims when it should be the reverse

I love how they list the video games and the rock bands before the "suicidally depressed from bullying" part.

Daily Mail's garbage, everyone knows that.

Everything you need to know about the integrity and credibility of The Daily Mail can be summed up with this DM spread:


"Ban this sick filth that dared to satirised the media whipped-up fear of paedophiles... also check out the tits on this 15 year old... looovely."

It still pains me that some people still don't recognise the DM for what it is, and that some websites still source their articles from that joke of a newspaper. It's also sad that the DM's push into the American market has only lead to it's shit being propagated even more and cited as a credible example of journalism by people who apparently don't know any better (or don't care when the biased articles suit their agendas).

Previously on the Adventures of the Daily Mail

"Unemployed people are scum of the earth. Including those on benefits."
"The working class are on strike again for what ever fucking reason. Why do we care? They are working class scum who should keep in order."
"Hot unknown wannabe Z list "actress" half naked on the beach. We have millions of photos."
"Hot well known female celebrity goes out without make up. Boy is she ugly and filthy and disgusting. We have all the photos so we can shame her some more."
"The middle age man is hugging and talking to a teenage girl. Could it be his daughter or is he a pedophile? Who the fuck cares, let's just brand him as a pedo anyway"
"We are on a pedo hunt this week but while we do that, why don't we show an underage girl in her bikini and judge her on her looks and how she should make herself more 'pretty'. Or who are we kidding, let's do it for every female reader and tell them that people like Kelly Brooks and Imogen Thomas are real women and you girls should really look up to them." (no seriously if you google "Imogen Thomas", the first thing you get it a link to the Daily Mail talking about how she lost a dress size)
"Those dirty Romanians are coming over here and stealing our British jobs. Do we have any evidence for it? What do you take us for, of course we don't."
"Plus other meaningless shit we came up with that is the perfect clue click and bait move and will have you reading more and more because we love your money. Sweet sweet money for spreading bullshit."

and now continuing with the Adventures of the Daily Mail in this weeks episode - "Fuck it. We will never change."

"15 year old student stabs teacher less than 24 hours ago. Should we find out the full info of what happened first? HAHAHAHA NO! Let's just make up stuff and hoping the nation gets angry and ban video games and music. Screw that, ban art too, immigrates, muslims, brown people, those who oppose Thatcher, feminist, EU, human rights, immigrates... again, women who aren't up to a standard, etc."

Sorry about that. Just showing you that the Daily Mail, a paper that you wouldn't even use to wipe your behind when all the loo roll has run out and it's 3 am and you are suffering from extreme explosive diarrhea, is full of out of date horse s***. Simple click and bait tactics, misinformation, and stories so false and not even accurate that they only do it to sell papers at the expense of playing with peoples fears and other emotions. If the student was non-white, they would have such a massive orgasm over this.

That's right, outside of the influence from "British heavy metal bands Enter Shikari and Bring Me The Horizon" [sic], this troubled student must have been influenced by vidyergames!

Are you telling me videogames can't influence a persons behavior? Because ,you know ,they can .

Will playing a violent game make you a murderer? No.
Can playing a violent game make you agressive ? Yes.
Will playing a violent game make you violent? Not necessarily but it happens.

Oh, Daily Mail!


The article mentions that other students thought he felt like an "outcast". Far more than I care about which video games he played or how much he played them, I'd like to know why he felt like that.

EDIT: For those who are fortunate enough not to know, the Daily Mail is a shameful rag of a publication, though its comments sections are relatively absorbent and worth a laugh or two, which gives it pride of place in toilets across the nation. Remember the Fox article from the last thread and you'll have a good idea.
Barbas, did you decapitate Taco?!

Maybe one day mental illness with finally get the proper attention, thus allowing for better understanding of the subject and forming treatments for those who have a mental illness, but it seems to be easier to scapegoat something else for shit and giggles.
This is the daily mail, but this happens in many news outlets.

Is Daily Mail going to ignore the fact he also experimented with drugs, usually depressed and was bullied?
Guess not... they'll just keep pointing out how he loved video games and playing Dark Souls somehow made him snap.
(shrugs) they harassed a transgender teacher until she committed suicide, and go on to cry that press regulation is evil and the end of free speech. The Daily Mail is pretty much the Fox News of the print world.

Wait, is the drug he 'experimented' with paracetamol? He's a 'drug user', and the example they used involved mild over the counter painkillers?

"Sorry we are not currently accepting comments on this article."

Seems they realise even their own commenters would call them out on this shit. I'm surprised anyone still takes these kinds of news outlets seriously. They seem far too stupid for even the commonly stupid to take heed in.

I swear I did not kill anyone. I just did a quick search for "Oh, you!" .gifs and came up with that one. I thought it was a fitting tribute!

OT: This really makes me want to organize a sexy heavy metal party outside the nearest Daily Fail building, just to piss them off.

Daily Fail strikes again then I see. Nice to know that they are still kicking around, making Britain a more bigoted and intolerant place.

I remember joking about who they are going to blame for this, an hour after it happened.

If you will excuse me, I am off to buy a lottery ticket because I now have powers of unholy clairvoyance.

EDIT: It doesn't help that the article is badly written either.

It just repeats the same information over and over, with a few interviews from their neighbours.

It doesn't add anything of substance though, to no surprise.

Oh that's painfully evident from the way this article is written. There was less mention paid to the fact that he was depressed than there was to the simple fact that he enjoyed video games (can't have that now can we?). It was sensationalist, insubstantial, and even worse, haphazardly written.

What's hilarious is that they clearly want to blame vidjagarmes because its not fashinable to scapegoat music anymore, but the only game on his facebook page was Crash Bandicoot. So they fell back on music, which hasn't been a target for nearly 20 years. This is just funny to me now.

Oh Daily Mail, how I love you so...You have to give it to them (along with the Sun and News of the World before it's shutdown) they do tend to make news entertaining.

My issue is that only The Mail is focusing on this. And that certainly isn't down to their reporting being deeper than other, reputable news agencies. Once again they're oversimplifying what is a complex, troubled young man's life into moral panic over rock music and games. With large action shots of Dark Souls combat and backstabs, described as a game where players "murder each other to survive".

They typically don't accept comments on ongoing legal cases.
