Episode 27: The idea that video games are responsible for mass murders is still pushed by political figures and fans of the guns industry. On this episode we take a look at systemic violence in the United States and the intersection between capitalism, hatred, gun control, and yes, video games. If that sounds messy, well, it is. But we know that games are about much more than violence, and can have positive impacts on the world. We touch on the camaraderie and global sportsmanship of esports, the power of comfort games in times of crisis, and the social bonds online games forge between people around the world.
Discussed:
- We Do Not Need To Defend Video Games From Politicians (Kotaku)
- No, Video Games Don’t Cause Mass Shootings. But The Conversation Shouldn’t End There (Time)
