*Facepalm*

Great another news station that has linked video games to something bad.

 

[BehattedWanderer]

I haven't even heard of it until today. That game looks freaking hilarious, and them griping about it makes me want to play it. I can already see the jokes between friends about someone being the next fat princess. Sounds like a new way of playing CTF, though

 

[BolognaBaloney]

I will most likely download it today, let me know how it is.
But as far as the reporter, yes these kind of people are just looking for something to wag their finger at, and it's completely ridiculous.

What? So kids (according to the rating) who are 13+, are gonna play Fat Princess, see a bunch of cartoon wizards force feeding an obese, fairytale woman cake and chicken, and immmediately think; "Hot damn, i want to eat 'till i'm fat."

Yep. You have to copy what happens in games, it's the law or something.

I know I went and killed my 15 peasants today.

Yeah I hate it when people think that propaganda and mud slinging is somehow journalism

I just hate American new's reporting.
"We dont have hard studies that tell us exactly how this game is going to effect children, but generally it has been show that the media affects children" That was from an expert in child health. She bascially said "We cant prove it but its always good to find somthing easy to blame."

 

[ShadeOfRed]

Ignore the whole fantasy element of it and start comparing it to real life! Oh, X represents Y! A is actually an analogy for B! This is what killed my enjoyment of art and a lot of books I read in school.
And the whole "Woman being portrayed as passive" thing, did princesses actually do anything? If they did, fantastic, but all I remember is that they were married off for fun and profit.

 

[Foolishman1776]

Remember kids! You are all a bunch of credulous idiots with no common sense or ability to tell fantasy from reality! This seems to be pretty much what the Media, Jack Thompson, and Hillary Clinton seem to be pushing. I mean, honestly, it's like they think if someone does something in a video game, they'll just mindlessly and compulsively start doing it in real life.

You should have seen what all those gamer kids did after playing Conkers Bad Fur Day. I can't go into details, but it was a fairly messy event. On the bright side, most of them lost about 40 pounds each.

The worst part of that video is at the end.
The woman actually says "It looks like the ESRB are going to rate it M for mature."
NO THEY BLOODY WON'T! It's feeding and carrying a princess, not ripping her face off! I can't even see why it would be rated Teen, let alone Mature. Fucking idiotic "journalism".
/rant.

 

[Jark212]

This quote sums up my feelings

"Your failing incredibly hard if you think this will happen, Does Playing Red Faction Guerrilla make me want to go and take down buildings with a huge mining hammer the short answer.. no

And if your some kind of professional that gets paid to write this trollop then i think your company needs to rethink who their hiring.
Grow-up and stop blaming games for societies downfall."

actually i would agree with a teen rating. it is violent and has alot of blood, if u watch the gameplay trailer. but mature, it is cartoon violence not realistic. funny part is that wasnt even the issue in this clip it was the eating. lol the media is definately fucked up.

And Splosion Man causes kids to asplode.

Just like how Ninja Gaiden makes me want to lop off everyone's limbs.

I dunno guys... I think we might have a serious problem on our hands here. That lady is a "child expert" she must be right.

Well they also seem to think that propaganda and mud slinging is also politics.
