Unfortunately, this chart sucks.
IF online shooters drive sales in the US and "weirdo anime wizard RPG because porn is filtered out by the government crap" drives sales in SK then what good is this chart?
They need to break it down by game category.
That and the whole "Lack of guns in those countries". Kinda hard to have violent gun deaths when you can't buy gun to "death with"

To quote Slowspyder, China can't be compared because everyone smokes over there and that is the true Scooby Doo villian.
Since you seem to be out of touch with video game sales, take a look at the top selling games of June 2019.

And look at past months as well if you please.

Online FPS games are far from the majority of top selling video games in the USA.

Does this cover by region? What you posted say US only.
My complaints about the original chart is that it does not cover sales by country nor does it acknowledge gun availability in the nations listed.

I get that we can all sit here and google for the info but my complaint is simply with the chart you posted.

No, when people on the right get uptight about extremist muslim terror, the concern is over the right wing's agenda to shit on the Bill of Rights by banning an entire religion.

The rest of your post is just projection on your part. You're the one saying that Dayton excuses El Paso. You're the one who brought Dayton into this thread about El Paso for the purpose of excusing El Paso. You're the one whose moral view changed to fit your political agenda (Dayton+leftist = dire threat, El Paso + rightie = nothing to see here). You're the one painting all that is right and that is left with broad brushes, saying "you guys" this and "you guys" that, while others are mostly talking to you as an individual. This is obvious.
Especially in the light of the fact that I said several times in this very thread (and have throughout my entire posting history on this site) that I support gun ownership and the 2a, and yet you keep calling me one of these "you guys" trying to shit on the 2a. But it's getting to the point that the best reason to own guns is because of unhinged political whackjobs like yourself, who view everyone they disagree with (or who disagrees with them) as some kind of monolithic national danger than can and should be violently wiped out.

That's the most shameful excuse for a President we ever had. Trump's no patriot. He'll burn the country to the ground to come out a winner. That's why Putin backed him, too. Trump is wreaking havoc on conservatives' minds.

Click on that link. Search "antifa" and read. He used Antifa talking points and language. He supported Bernie. He was a socialist. He hated Republicans. Big fan of "the squad."

This is the kind of shit that blows me away. Look at the amount of Trump crap in the news due to the El Paso shooter. But when a crazed leftist shoots a bunch of people, crickets about his politics in the mainstream media, because his politics are far left.

You can keep your head in the sand while you keep telling me I'm the blind one, but that doesn't make you less wrong or less of a troll. You have a disgusting habit of ignoring factual information you don't agree with.
Fox News is mainstream media (by definition, not by actions) and I'm sure they are/will be talking about it very much.

You said "online shooters drive sales in the US" and I just showed you numbers that prove otherwise.

Nothing more.

I don't think us Brits are all playing tea-drinking simulators or Royal etiquette trainers (though those are two of my personal faves)

And, er, if the lack of guns is important, what do video games have to do with the topic at all?

There's nothing apathetic about Glenn's desire for people to live in fear because he's afraid of their political speech and ideas.

Yeah, anyone claiming glenn is apathetic hasn't paid much attention to his posts. He's not apathetic at all, he's just an old coward tired of going through diapers pissing his pants anytime he sees a non-white/non-cis gendered person, who has nothing better to do with his life than spout bigoted dumb shit on a tech forum.

How much different is anime? Lots of violence at times and a lot of reasoning that isn't exactly black and white for why the characters do as they do.

Btw, I think it's not supposed to be taken that seriously. We just know through common sense that video games at most would be a minor factor out of what is a combination of many factors, including the big one of having easy access to a semi-auto with a detachable magazine.

I mean seriously these idiots would rather ban video games before banning guns. This much stupidity is hard for my brain to comprehend.


Hey it worked in the 90's when politicians were quick to condemn and label video games and music with advisory labels.

Its simply a distraction so you will feel like something meaningful is being done when in reality nothing is being done.

It's really inane, and they commonly make a swipe at Hollywood along with it, but it's supposed to be disingenuous. Base will eat it up as long as they keep their guns. Doesn't matter if it comes across as big government and pro-PC.

Race mixing reduces genetic diversity? lolwut, it does the opposite.

It's a simple notion. One race is less diverse than many.

Of course that ignores the bounty of sheer numbers that mixed DNA would enjoy. Or the shedding of isolated pockets of incestual tribalism, or the benefit of making new connections.

Here we have another:
Man who threatened to 'shoot up' Walmart in Florida said he was inspired by El Paso shooting
https://news.yahoo.com/man-threatened-shoot-walmart-florida-160332467.html


"Wayne Padgett, whose mother is an employee at the Walmart in Gibsonton, Fla., was arrested on Sunday, according to Business Insider. He is charged with making a false report of using a firearm in a violent manner.
Padgett, 31, reportedly called the store Sunday, saying he would be there in five minutes and that he planned to "shoot up your store," according to Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office.
"

The guy admitted making the phone call with a blocked number, but denied making a thread.

Well, what do you expect? You think a politician in Texas, taking NRA money, is going to lay blame at the feet of his masters? Easier to bring out the frequently disputed boogeyman. Works well with those immune to facts.

Is the perp's manifesto out there? I see the first page of it on the evening news, in a few frames (I can PAUSE on it and read all but the left edge). I'm curious. They said it was 4 pages. It reads like he composed it carefully.

I get the impression he's a psychopath and tried in his loneliness to craft a justification to himself for himself that he knew would become public shortly after he launched his carefully planned rampage. IOW, he took a long time crafting his "manifesto." He planned this way in advance, decided that this weekend was the perfect time and that Walmart the perfect place to spill as much Hispanic blood as possible. Drove the 600 miles to get there, walked in, cased the joint, then came back with his AK-47.

I'm not sure who I despise more right now, Trumfp or M. McCon-El. They both infuriate me.

This guy really is the prototypical 8channer, someone who is convinced of his intellectual superiority while revealing through his writing that he's a total fucking moron. Race mixing reduces genetic diversity? lolwut, it does the opposite.

There is only one race.

Drumph pontificates mental illness is shooting people, not guns. IOW, don't take away the guns, just treat the mentally ill. Uh, does that mean we try to identify them and maybe try to keep guns out of their hands? Lordee me no, that would require background checks and Drumph's conversations with NRA brass this week ruled them out (Drumph and the NRA are in agreement on these things). No, instead we are going to endorse research into mental illness. We'll all benefit if we reduce mental illness. We are also close to curing cancer and AIDS, stay twitted.
