[Documentary] The blood on our Controllers - The Complicity of the Game Industry in the Palestinian Genocide
Quoted from the video description:
“The blood on our Controllers” is an amateur documentary made to denounce the role of the video game industry in the normalization of the Palestinian genocide, through its close relation with the military industrial complex and the representation of Arab communities in games. It is a collaborative work between developers, artists, animators, and academicians to show how our games are doing wrong or right, what the game industry could be and what needs to be done for it to happen.
It’s time for those who have been the loudest for so long to try and learn to listen.
Speakers (in order of appearance): Hippolyte Caubet, Rami Ismail, Younès Rabii, Florent Maurin, Meghna Jayanth, Holly Nielsen, Rasheed Abueideh, Elodie Roblain, Florence Nichols Smith
… white people who shoot children for the sole purpose of making people hurt and spreading terror aren’t terorists because… they don’t care enough?
Jesus fucking christ.
Mass shooters are obviously despicable, but they wouldn’t generally be terrorists. The definition of terrorist requires a political motivation. But even if you did include school shooters in the count, they still would be greatly outnumbered by the amount of people in actual terrorist groups. Some like Hezbollah are effectively armies. Also, I can’t think of a game where you deal with isolated mass shooters.
