BULLY!

I think people are making waaaaaaaay too much of a big deal about this game. I've seen the trailers and it doesn't seem worse than any of those movies on Disney or Nick. I can't help but wonder if the real reason people get upset is because they really hate Teddy Roosevelt and the game title reminds them of how he spoke from the Bully Pulpit.

Think of the children!

[/sarcasm]

I have no clue what you speak of. Ant Bully?

Bully is an upcoming game developed by Rockstar Games, makers of GTA etc. Jack Thompson is misleading people to believe it's a columbine simulator and a whole bunch of other bullshit.

Ohhhhhhhhhhhh. So it's like another GTA game? More sensless killing?

No. You are a kid in school...

Yeah, what Aron said. JT and the Hater Brigade would have you believe it really is a Columbine simulator and people die left and right etc but in reality the body count is zero and it's tamer than some after school specials.

Are kids now-adays really the mindless impressionable lemmings that this guy seems to think they are.
If half of the crap that rolls out of this guys mouth was true every kid that watched the 6 o'clock news would be going on a killing spree.
That Jack Thompson guy makes me so mad
There needs to be a kill Jack Thompson Hot Coffee mod for Bully...

People nowadays have a really low opinion of kids nowadays. It's not entirely unfounded, excessively violent games do influence children who're already mentally unstable to begin with. They just distort the facts so it looks like it disturbs everyone (in reality, if GTA REALLY made kids who on homicidal rampages, much much more people would've died as a result since the game was so popular). That and video games are a legal scapegoat for disturbed kids and people are so ready to accept that it's the video game's fault because it's too scary to think that the kids today are so mentally disturbed that they'd murder (and for parents, it could potentially seem like their fault!). Video games are common scapegoats

It's insulting, though. It's like...they're going back and editing scenes from the old Tom and Jerry cartoons to take out any incidences smoking because they're convinced if kids see it, they'll go "Smoking is cool" and automatically do it because they have NO minds of their own. It's weird, though, because they're not at all concerned with the violence shown in every single episode. If kids would smoke due to a cartoon, why aren't they smacking each other on the heads with frying pans? Gads, maybe mentally stable kids DO have the ability to think!
