    I’m not surprised this is a thing, but I didn’t expect some of it to be so obvious and overt. The fact that works is even more worrying, it feels like the Simpson’s superliminal messaging in real life.

    Tangentially, why do all screenshots look like they were taken from a pirated VHS?

      Did you create an account just to post a generic, dismissive, propaganda-looking comment, accusing another of being generic dismissive propaganda? Ironic.

      This isn’t a random post on a random blog, it is the website of an organisation which specifically studies these matters. Something you could figure out in one click and two seconds reading the homepage.

        >if you call out propaganda, you are doing propaganda. also you're a pussy if you don't want to be stalked.

        The fact that this organisation studies something doesn't absolve them from peddling bullshit akin to 90s rightwing moral panic, i.e. games cause violence etc.

        The only thing that article lacks to become a full on parody is a grand call to protect the children.

        And yes, I did created an account to post a generic, dismissive comment, because this level of "reporting and studying" doesn't warrant anything more than ridicule.
