Guess what? Video games are blamed again.

So you guys may or may not know that a 15 year old boy murdered a teacher in her classroom about a week ago. Well, reading the paper today, the media is blaming violent video games. Not only are they blaming video games for this but they are also indirectly blaming Achievement Hunter as, in one of the pictures of the murderer, he is wearing an Achievement Hunter shirt and I quote from the news paper "Achievement Hunter consists of six men playing violent video games such as Halo, Call of Duty, and Grand Theft Auto". I find it simply outrageous that Achievement Hunter can be indirectly blamed for this as all they do is play video games for a living. They can't help who watches their videos.

  • One newspaper making a wild assumption does not mean the "media" is blaming video games or Achievement Hunter on this senseless killing. I have yet to hear anything about videovgames or let's plays being responsible. Responding to these baseless claims gives them too much validation and inspires a debate that will push them into the national spotlight. Save your pitchfork for something that matters.
