It's Fox. They've done things like this before.
You got some dirt on you. Here's some more!

One word: Fox.
Just Fox.
Just ignore them and maybe they'll go away... Or maybe not.

Dude, it's Fox News. What did you expect from them?
Experience has taught me to investigate anything that glows.
A-HYUK!
*reads headline*
Wow, it's like they waited for Jon Stewart to go on hiatus to start bringing back the real crazy.

Oh, and not the games with actual rape in them? (Hell, even that making people intorapists is still laughable). Bulletstorm only goes so far as shooting someone in the ass and making dirty puns.

Wasn't it Fox that released the whole "sexbox" Mass Effect fiasco? I wouldn't put this past them.

OMG NO NOSECONES
...so if my wife is more into competitive gaming that I am... What conclusion does that draw-
Ah, forget it. It's Fox news. I had heard that video games coincided with (and may be the reason why) violent crime in America has dropped.
Happiness is zero-gee with a sinus cold.
Looks like Fox Did Not Do The Research on video games. it doesn't make you a rapist dumbass

Your army sucks.
Fox News.
Nothing to see here folks, move along. Same old same old.
Sorry, I can't hear you from my FLYING METAL BOX!
I knew the general reaction before I even clicked on this thread
Now I really can't wait for Duke Nukem Forever to come out![[lol]](https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/lol2v12_4863.png "[lol]"){kind=small}
That Fox News story will be hilarious.

Fox News
Why this not amuses me a little???

I'm looking forwards to Bulletstorm. I have a PS 3, and the Skill Shots are more than just that - they include toppling buildings onto things.
Yes, Bulletstorm is violent. And that's why consoles have PARENTAL CONTROLS. THERE IS A REASON THEY ARE THERE.
Then again, you're Fox News. You're either not reading this, or ignoring everything I say typing up your next weird-ass... article... thing. That, or you actually read this and then disregard it.
On this end, no surprise here.
"Seven is here too, dressed like the concept of choosing clothes that look nice together was an arcane secret far beyond their grasp."Okay, I actually read the article, and honest to god, I just burst out laughing. Yes, "increase in rapes" can clearly be linked to sexual scenes in video games. Clearly. I mean, it's just that obvious and makes sense and thus I have no need to cite that statement.

@Wild Knight: True dat. They also linked the fact that if you play Grand Theft Auto, you will become a psychopathic shooter. It makes great sense.
"Seven is here too, dressed like the concept of choosing clothes that look nice together was an arcane secret far beyond their grasp."
Always Right
Hey umm...anyone wanna send Fox News a copy of Doki Doki Majo Shinpan?
I just wanna see them write entire articles about it...it will entertain me for an entire day.
"Every opinion that isn't mine is subjected to Your Mileage May Vary."
You know, I think for once I'd like to see a rebuttal to that statement that isn't empty nerdrage.
Just so I can be reassured that they're bullshit, you understand.
You can't even write racist abuse in excrement on somebody's car without the politically correct brigade jumping down your throat!I'd also like to point out that, while I have no interest in Bulletstorm, it seems to me like its worst offense is that it's using the name of various sex acts for special types of kills. This is...clearly...very sexual and will lead to more rapes, you see. Because when people play this game, they will learn how to rape you. With their guns.

I googled "video games and rape," and got nothing but articles about this woman's statement and other articles about Rapelay. Certainly no studies to back up her claim.

It's interesting how the percentage of violent crime in the United States began to go down the same year Doom was released.
Clearly, video games make people less violent. There's no other possible explanation!
yet there are no penalties in place for retailers who sell violent games to kids.You're right, we should totally penalize the retailers for selling games to kids! And while we're at it, let's punish some churchs for showing the Texas Jesus Massacre to twelve year olds!

Stand by people, we're at hypocrisy level 9001.
straight from the horses (or in this case jackasses) mouth
There is just so much hypocrisy, stupidity and lies here, I just cannot know where to start.
1. THE GAME IS RATED M YOU STUPID STUPID FUCKS! 2. Just last month you stated that speaking in depth about how all of you talking about violence to such an insane degree has no impact on people and you were in no way responsible for any violemt event, but now you're attacking someone using bviolence for humour? 3. If you are buying your child a game called Bulletstorm, you are a bad parent. End of story. 4. THAT WOMEN SAID LITERALLY NOTHING MORE THAN "GAMERS=RAPISTS"! SHE NEVER SAID ONE THING TO BACK IT UP!
