FOXNews and the anti-gaming 
Da un po' di tempo stiamo assistento alle accuse da parte di molte persone rivolte al mondo dei videogiochi, un mondo in costante crescita e che "costituisce sempre più una minaccia per i poveri ragazzi". Si tratta di persone quasi sempre estranee al mondo videoludico, che pretendono di saperne qualcosa e, in virtù di falsi moralisti, sparagono le loro idee per vari motivi: chi per farsi una "buona" reputazione agli occhi della massa, chi per spillare dei soldi a qualche casa produttrice.. chi perchè vede il proprio mondo minacciato da quello dei videogames. In particolare riferimento a questi ultimi, parliamo di FoxNews.
FoxNews, un canale televisivo americano che sembra aver dato il via ad una campagna anti-videogiochi volta a svalorizzare il mercato che gli sta portando via importanti ascoltatori. Il
mese scorso hanno attacked Mass Effect, its Xbox 360 exclusive for Microsoft, accusing it of containing explicit nudity with possible interaction of the player, the person accused of the interview longer this game says not to have ever played, and in fact if he had played knew everything would be invented from scratch: there is nudity (at most you see an ass), least of all sexual interaction is expected. And while the person in question (a specialist psychologist) and the other guests keep saying bullshit on bullshit, the only specialist in this game (who says things as they really are) is ignored by all beautifully. I recommend you watch the video to make account of the ignorance of people who bring out these issues.
So, a couple of days ago however, the site has published a FOXNews
interesting article titled: "Video games may do harm to nature." The article bases its argument on a survey of an organization according to which the environmentalist "videophilia" can cause an emotional detachment from the natural world and a progressive deterioration of this. But the problem is not so much research, that despite the conclusions it draws too much, says in part true. The problem is that "videophilia" the researchers intend to excessive use of television and computers in general, but Foxnews turn the pancake and threw all the blame playing video games, "forgetting" all that research time is actually flying in the first indictment of television, and therefore also of the same FOXNews. If this is not scandalous squalid attempt to throw mud on video games when they, with their junk programs and their false news, should be filled to the neck, I do not know what it is ..
Ah, I forgot one thing: nell'initervista on Mass Effect, the first psychologist to play the card of "women are treated as objects and things like that. Well, it would be appropriate to ask before you say some shit (in the game does not accadeniente of everything, just ask for a minimum know) and maybe point the finger at television, which every day and every hour forward junk, half naked women (and half is little), and horrid advertising programs that give bad teaching?
Obviously not.
