Gamers Are the Devil

At least for the German charity SOS Kinderdorf external

. The German gamer website gamersunity external

offered the proceedings of banner advertising to SOS Kinderdorf. And got rejected.

Because games promote violence. (In German) external

But so do many sports, TV shows, et cetera.

To mark all gamers as violent or promoting violence is just plain wrong and stupid. There, I said it!

Don’t get me wrong—I am neither in favor of violence nor war nor promoting either.

But the picture of the violent gamer that eats little children—as painted by media and politics in Germany—is idiotic.
