EVERY BIT of this issue is 100% the responsibility of liberalism. ALL OF IT. It all goes back to the same source

Movies, music, media has enormous INFLUENCE on all walks of life, but they don't FORCE anyone to do anything. No one makes that distinction.
There isn't some all powerful OZ puppeteer reaching out from each movie screen forcing anyone to go do anything.
If it isn't movies influencing, it's video games. If it isn't video games influencing, it's books. If it isn't books influencing, it's paintings and art, if it isn't art.....etc etc etc.
The weak and evil minded will always be influenced and latch onto something.

As you explained, shouldn't we be blaming the whole of the liberalism that has infected eery inch of our society. It seems like such an easy and weak-kneed copout to just blame movies or video games.

Like I've asked in other threads:
The muslim countries of the middle east have all banned western entertainment, no movies, no books, no video games, no alcohol, yet how can one explain their murderous, ultra-violent, pedophilia cultures if they don't have the evil influence of our movies and video games?

In my decades of video gaming (I’m primarily an RPG/D&D/Final Fantasy style gamer) I have axe murdered, sword slashed, lazer blasted and nuked probably several hundred thousand virtual ‘humans’. Yet I haven’t been in a real life physical altercation in 20 years, much less actually killed anyone.

Now if the libs are right about the whole guns/game violence thing, I and other gamers should have long since raped, pillaged and killed a whole bunch of people.

Sooooo....why haven’t we? Because most of us still have a sense of morality, right, wrong...you know, the very things liberals intentionally breed out of people through the miseducation system. And there is a direct correlation between increasingly violent people/kids and increasingly hostile to traditional values blather spouted by liberals.

Amazing that simple traditional outlooks and morality have prevented me turning into Atila the Hun or Mr. Homes. But it would indeed seem that they have dispute me having 20+ years of being ‘influenced’ on him.

Same thing goes for the millions of ‘gun nuts’ that don’t suddenly go full auto on the wife and kids. SOMEHOW they manage to resist the evil spirit of “The Gun” taunting them at night and whispering “Kill everyone!”

I mean come on. Guns ALL do that right? ;)

If comic books don’t have any influence on the culture, why are Marvel, DC, Archie, et al introducing gay character relationships and storylines?

Where they have an agenda to push, they believe they can impact the culture through their “stories”.
