German Online Petition Is Now Sort Of Relevant

Killerspiele! In case anyone gives a damn, the online petition of German gamers against the governments plans for a total ban of violent videogames, has reached the needed 50,000 participants.

What this means is the Bundestag (German parliament) now has to discuss it. What it however doesn’t means it that they will give a shit about it.

I reckon it will go something like this: “Oi, there’s this 50,000 kids who don’t want us to ban killergames.” “Who gives a fuck, they wouldn’t have voted for us anyways.”

How can Germany fund Uwe Boll movies, yet still ban ‘killer video games’? Isn’t there some gap of logic there?

Maybe because in germany movies are “for adults” and videogames are still considered toys.

Or because games are the new scapegoat in taking the collective parenting fail.
