I rly hate the Satanic Panic & the moral panic surrounding violence in video games in the 90s, coz it's now impossible to talk about the social implications of violent video games in a realistic sense.

No, violence in video games does not create serial killers in the way most people imagine it would.

However, it's very important to notice how after 9/11, a lot of violent video games pivoted their content from silly gratuitous cartoon gore to more realistic military shooters set in the Levant from a US American lens. It's also important to notice the connection of these games & their toxic online multi-player voice chats to Gamer Gate in 2014.

It's obviously not as black & white as it was presented in the 80s & 90s, I dont think everyone who played early Call of Duty games is a white supremacist who wants to join the military to kill people in the middle east, but I think it's dangerous to pretend like video games or any media can't have an impact on the way people think about violence.

I think what makes all the difference here is how that violence is portrayed, what the message behind it is, what the motives are behind the people who crafted that message, who the victims of that violence are, how they are portrayed & the greater cultural context that surrounds it.

we made it to 20k before tomorrow (atleast for me)! take time to celebrate this milestone, but be prepared to continue donating and sharing gofundme. His full goal to rebulid is 82k and that is still ways to go. We can't lose sight of it now!

Daily update(26) 🇵🇸

300 days

We live in a war of extermination and suffer forced displacement and starvation

300 days since the genocidal war The war on Gaza is not just stories, but rather the end of the stories and dreams of innocent people.

By the way, I stayed in seven places other than my home during “displacement,” and whenever anyone noticed my shyness or distress in my behavior.

He said: Consider the place like your home!

How can I explain to them that I want a “Ya” in my house, affectionate, it is the language that gives you that “Ya” of ownership.

You go on as if you own the world and everything in it!

For my home, who was displaced and killed by a plane in November 2023

I thought you would guard my home alone I let you down So you fell, my dear house!

All the places looked like my home,, but it was not my home!

A new chapter of astonishment and attempts to survive.

Note: My campaign is moving towards the second goal, 20k. Please get me to it by the end of this week 🙏🏽

My hope and dreams are on you 🙏🏽

some of y'all really started an entire campaign against shahed and shaima and muhammad to falsely claim they're scammers huh. really just came up with a bunch of baseless racist claims and presented them as fact, getting someone to rescind an entire $500 donation from shaima and muhammad's gfm. do you think they want to be here on tumblr, begging strangers for money to escape a genocide? do you think people like hussein and nairuz put in so much effort to vet them just for fun? or that my friends and i enjoy losing sleep every night trying to get people to donate? if after all this time, after over 300 days of ongoing genocide, you still insist on baselessly accusing palestinians of being scammers with 0 proof, you are just plain racist idk what to tell you! i'm not kidding when i say this racist fucking behavior is quite literally endangering human lives. go donate to them right now i'm no longer asking.
