Dudes government shot a kid and it’s the video games fault………good luck on the reelection
What reelection? It’s already his second term. Hence why he’s so eager to push all those laws, imo. He’s just going to retire after this.
That’s not what he said, or even implied. He said that there was a gamification of riots. https://lemmy.world/comment/697309
No no no… it’s video games’ fault that people are mad about the government shooting a kid. Without video games, we would calmly accept it.
This is a misleading headline and not what he said. Let’s not become Facebook
This is a direct quote :
« Nous avons vu sur plusieurs d’entre elles, Snapchat, TikTok, et plusieurs autres à la fois, l’organisation de rassemblements violents se faire, mais une forme de mimétisme de la violence, ce qui, chez les plus jeunes, conduit à une forme de sortie du réel. Et on a le sentiment parfois que certains d’entre eux vivent dans la rue les jeux vidéo qui les ont intoxiqués. »
For those who do not speak French, Macron is saying here that social media is helping people organise the riots and also triggers some form of dissociative behaviour, that he blames on “poisonous” video games.
Not a word on the fact that a litteral teenager was murdered for allegedly forcing a traffic stop.
I read that they were rioting because that young man was shot dead, but not a thing about riots because of how good Diablo 4 is.
Dumb as it is, it’s more important that in the same quote he’s blaming social media as an organizing tool.
