I have no way of knowing if you’re old enough to remember, but that level of coverage is nothing compared to the ongoing nonsense in the late nineties and 2k’s.

I never thought Jack Thompson would go away. Anyway, look at it from the media’s perspective. “violent videogames turn your kids into sociopaths” is a pretty great hook, it’s going to get the suburban parents attention, it’s going to turn into endless PTA meetings, it’s going to make it to the House of Representatives. “women are getting horribly harassed in a particular industry” just doesn’t make the headlines.
