[quote name="Arbit"][quote name="Mysterio"]Ok, so now you can understand how someone might discount the influence of, say, art direction in MOBAs on a complex phenomenon like "real life behaviour towards women" that has lots of substantive inputs. [/quote] ....no? That was supposed to be convincing? You basically just said how video games have a comparable effect on how we view/interact with women as butterfly wings have on typhoons. I disagree that they have the same magnitude of effect. Also, believing that media has no influence on how we think is patently fucking ridiculous IMO, which is where this little tangent started. Are you trying to tie this into climate change denial or something? (it's really complex so we better just ignore any evidence and do nothing just to be sure)[/quote]
