For WOW, according to the manifesto, it's used as cover. The original word says that "using social taboos is an extremely effective method from preventing people who know you well from digging too much." The taboo Breivik mentions is WOW, as he says "F[or] example, tell them that you have started to play World of Warcraft or any other online MMO game and that you wish to focus on this for the next months/year."
As the article says, video games are used in crime, who should be blamed? |
| maybe the parents should be blamed?
maybe the gov. should be blamed?
maybe the society should be blamed? |
| Maybe the complete psycho who killed however many people should be blamed?
Why the hell do we have to shift it all the time? |
| this is a problem that need to be solved. |

Ignore him. He's some asshat linking WoW articles from other sites and making god awful posts, I'm surprised no one banned him yet.

If you asked me that question in person, I would probably knock you out.
The only person or thing that should be blamed is the sick fuck himself who killed all those people. Any attempt to claim video games were a contributing factor is uninformed, ignorant and detrimental to video games as a whole. I've seen far more research and data showing that video games benefit people more than harm them. The fact that a website dedicated to MMOs fielded such an article is only hurting themselves. This disgusting piece of filth wants this kind of media attention, he wants to become famous from committing such a depraved act.
It's also rather offensive that here in the US I heard more about that drug-addled Amy Winehouse dying than this horrible event. |
