Chicago Lawmaker Proposes Bill to Ban Sale of Violent Video Games Like GTA 5

Question: Is 'The sun' or some variant a shitty tabloid newspaper in every country?

On topic, the new definition seems very broad:

The bill will also modify the current definition of "violent video game" under the Criminal Code to mean video games that "allows a user or player to control a character within the video game that is encouraged to perpetuate human-on-human violence in which the player kills or otherwise causes serious physical or psychological harm to another human or an animal."


Also, it's no longer 2008, GTA is not the big evil since everything has gone open world. I can hogtie innoccent civilians and murder them with trains in RDR2. I can shoot civilians in Watch Dogs, kill peasants in Valhalla etc. The time for hard ons over GTA has long passsed, and is just a bone a lot of old people find tough to swallow.

Yeah, good luck with that you fucking cunt. Maybe if you pricks didn't make the police public enemy number 1 they could do their jobs and prevent crime. No you'd rather listen to criminals demanding they are defunded and have them crawling on their knees.

Fuck off.

Is his name Tack Jhompson? If it is, I think I have an idea what's going on.

If you're young, Jack Thompson was a lawyer who had a hate boner for Rockstar in the PS2 era and tried to get everything about them banned from the galaxy. He was eventually disbarred for being a brainless twat who was a net loss to not only the legal world, but society as a whole

If you do this, you have to do this for games, films, tv, even fucking comic books, which is just never gonna happen

That’s. Why. We. Have. Fucking. Ratings.

Re-inforce rating situations if you want, and let adults be able to shoot virtual creatures and see some T and A as we should be able to handle (most of us) at that point

Holy fuck what a backward world this is sometimes...

He’s not going far enough. We need to ban violent books, comics, TV shows and movies as well, alongside any sexual depictions too. Only then can we live the true Puritan lifestyle that we all deeply crave.

I can vouch for the science behind this. I played a GTA once, and when I was finished I immediately left my house for a lap dance, snorted a line, shot a pedestrian and hijacked a car. It’s dangerous shit to be exposing our 3 year olds to.

Now on topic, let's ban violent movies, series, books, stage plays, etc... This is so dumb! With this thinking we'll be probably banning porn, news, children, pets, and everything under the sun.
