Early this week I ranted about a @nytimes editorial misrepresenting the scientific literature around video game uses and effects.
It's one thing for an editorial piece to mishandle scientific information, but it is another when an “educational” organization does it.
A thread.

For a primer on the history of the moral panic see here: https://t.co/mj6aedCQBJ
See: https://t.co/IzvAQn1ASo
For an overview on the current state of the research, see here: https://t.co/zbV2r8klrK
Exhibit A: https://t.co/GuU2yrBS1B
The points I raise here alone are notable. This one-sided, exaggerated information does an INCREDIBLE disservice to parents and caretakers everywhere.
For this seminar they chose Dr. Brad Bushman who has dedicated his career to studying violent video game effects. Notably, several of his publications have been redacted due to falsified data.
SPOILER: Because they don't push the moral panic agenda

This kind of “educational” content is reprehensible. It is why the moral panic around games remains today and parents remain fearful despite the wealth of contrary research.

Happy Monday everyone :-) Let's ring in September by reacquainting ourselves with Virginia neo-Nazi and NSC Dixie affiliate Sayed "Robbie" Javid, now known by "Reform the States". Robbie is an explicitly genocidal neo-Nazi, so lets get to know him a bit better!
