"This is simply depressing. The pathetic treatment of videogames in
Germany has already jumped the shark several times, with the German
authorities aping their intolerant forefathers and banning anything
they don't like in the name of social justice. Now things have somehow
managed to get
worse, with
one German group instigating what could only be described as a modern-day book burning for what Germany calls "Killer Games."Aktionsbündnis
Amoklauf Winnenden, or Action Alliance has set up a "Killer Game Drive"
that will take place outside the Stuttgart State Opera on October 17.
The mission? To encourage people to bring their violent videogames and
toss them in the garbage. There's a chance to win a signed jersey from
the German national soccer team, and it's assumed that the "Killer
Games" will be destroyed after they've been tossed, thus saving Germany
from violence FOREVER! Because, y'know, getting rid of videogames will
mean that nobody shall ever commit a murder again. As well as
linking videogames to one of Germany's school shootings and using
scaremongering logos like the one seen above, Action Alliance is also
using some rather disturbing imagery to promote its event. One of the
promotional images for the campaign shows a person throwing away a
Swastika instead of a videogame, essentially implying that games are
the modern day equivalent to Nazis. Quite ironic, considering it was the Nazis themselves who were fans of destroying art that they didn't agree with."
"A German advocacy group has organized an event designed to get
participants to bring their “killer games” to in order to dispose of
them in a trash can.
