well the media has "scientificly backed theories -.-'" about gamers doing the mass murdering and stuffs, but I don't hear many good things about gamers that aren't from gamers so I wouldn't know.

Due to the negative association that gamers get, it is often assumes that all we do is play nonsensical games when in fact gamers are partially the reason we have engineers, computers, and medicenes and medical equipment. Some gamers know about coding and advanced mathmatical concepts which is prevelant in the functioning of computers, medicenal devices/forumulas, and is used in the engineering of buildings. To say the least the gaming community have gotten a bad reputation when they could indeed be helping our society.

I beleive that I have won my good sir.

That's because most media sells you "stories" they do not sell you facts. Stories sell much better than actual information. And nothing sells like a good scare story about the decay of society. They did the exact same things with comic books, film, television, dungeons and dragons, the internet and a couple of dozen others. Each in turn was meant to be the utter distruction of youth and woe to future generations etc, and it was all bollocks.
