Stop Those Hater-Gamers!

 After reading cleverly pseudonymed ST515's "Gaming Rights" blog, I had a strong opinion about gaming rights. Sid was not only able to follow a clear though process, but stuck to the point. Instead of making broad and ill-concieved generalizations like "gaming rots your brain, so it shouldn't be allowed",  Sid pointed out very specific instanced in which gaming has reached unhealthy new highs of violence and anti-social objectives. A game called "Rapelay" is described in which the goal of the game is rape of women and girls- the more abusive, the better. A game like this should be outlawed, and its creator should undergo extensive psychological screening, as he or she might be clinically insane. The behaviors exhibited in games have alwasy been known to be unrealistic, but I had never really considered gaming a bad thing. I also never knew just how bad some games truly are.
 I agree that the First Amendment shouldn't be stretched to cover the vilent and lonley needs of these gamers who obviously need to go get a gym membership and burn off some steam. To think that thousands of people have purchesed and played a game about raping women withou vomiting all over their hand-helds is heartwrenching. This world is already full of such real violence and hate. How can people waste hours of their lives reenacting the same thing? They should get jobs or find new hobbies. Good job, ST.
