Add Fox news and Trump rallies to the list.
Don't forget Marilyn Manson and videogames.
/s
Marilyn Manson led a charge to overthrow the government??
Doubt it. Last time I saw him on stage, he made trump look like an eloquent speaker.
Because I don't like than an artist I once enjoyed is a drugged out and drunken mess? Based on the reaction it definitely sounds like it.
Didn't think that many lemmings likes washed up has been metal acts, but to each their own I guess.
I actually responded to the wrong person and I apologize. I've actually heard the same thing about MM lately -- just washed-up and sad.
Idk why you're getting downvoted for an obvious joke lol
Because it's not funny or relevant and is an attempt to join two things - satanic panic with legal culpability in social media platforms.
Not relevant?
Metal music and videos games have been blamed for mass shootings before.
And this is neither of those things. This is something much more tangible, with actual science behind it.
Yes, that exactly is the point.
How people who supposedly care for children's safety are willing to ignore science and instead choose to hue and cry about bullshit stuff they perceive (or told by their favourite TV personality) as evil.
Have you got it now? Or should I explain it further?
Didn't expect Lemmy to have people who lack reading comprehension.
People don't appreciate having spurious claims attached to their legitimate claims, even in jest. It invokes the idea that since the previous targets of blame were false that these likely are as well.
They're all external factors. Music and videogames have been (wrongly, imo) blamed in the past. Media, especially nowadays, is probably more "blameable" than music and games, but i still think it's bs to use external factors as an excuse to justify mass shootings.
What are the internal factors of a person that are not influenced by the environment or culture?
