Comment Gaming and Moral Panic (Score 1) 217

If you're going to be a social commentator, then do a little homework. Go back to the rock-and-roll era *BEFORE* you tell me, "But that was different!" Look at the moral panic then; it wasn't limited to the music, naturally, but to the whole fabric of social change wherein we younger people were migrating away from the ethic and mores of the WW II era. Our parents' cohort had nothing to offer us. Nothing. At that time, rather than "addiction, obsession and violence" it was "addiction, obsession and sex." The reality was quite different, but the social change was a reality. As always happens, the fifties' upheaval greased the skids for the much more publicized sixties' upheaval. There was even *more* sex (perceived) in the sixties!
