Cooking Mama is to blame. You use fire, protesters are setting fires.

Or maybe it's horizon zero dawn, because it teaches you to hunt dinosaurs and the French govt is stuffed with them (mine is too, no shade)

I could do this all day.

TETRIS STARTED THIS! It taught us about bricks!

Did they cause the French Revolution, too?

Mario games must be banned, they make people jump on turtles and throw turtle shells.

Kirby games are even worse, people suck because of Kirby!!

Political figure deflects problems towards video games. What else is new?

[–] nanoUFO@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 years ago

Playing factorio makes me want to go outside and riot and commit crimes apparently.

[–] SharkEatingBreakfast@sh.itjust.works 9 points 2 years ago

Yes! Not corruption of power!

It's those darn video games & online videos!

Has there been any peer reviewed study to prove this point and refute the numerous studies that show this claim to be false?
