(no subject)
This is piece I did for a class called ideas and images. Its in response to the skewing of facts related to a story of an avid gamer who commitdd suicide by ingesting anti-freeze and pain killers while posting on an online gaming forum. The far right is using the false facts of the story (the suicide was game related, he had his webcam on while committing suicide, and that ppl were making fun of him on the forum in his last moments on this planet (his online friends were actually trying to talk him out of it, and eventually got him to go to the hospital but he obviously didn't make it) to say that all video games are masturbatory and serve no purpose. His reasons for killing himself were that he was broke and the pressure from school was just too much. Not that he had some sort of wack view on reality from playing video games.
