It is an interesting thesis. I suspect it has a certain merit.
Television and movies are watched passively. They teach people to be observers, not participants. Television has coincided with the rise of the left in the West.
But digital media is not passive, it is active, rather like freerepublic. Gamers are not passive recipients of messages, but active participants in the game.
That is exactly the opposite of what TV taught.
I dunno man, I still remember Tipper Gore.
Lots of younger folks have no clue who Tipper is. But Rock and Roll was the 80’s version of today’s video games.
I’ll never call out for the government meddling in ANYTHING, much less video games because video games are awesome. But I do remember Tipper and I want nothing to do with it.
That’s the domain of the whacky left.
They sure are scared since their Stalinist slavery left leaning propaganda on TV is being replaced with self-defense video training and if played online, TEAM work. (I was just thinking about when 2 gamers met in person for the first time...AHHHH! we are doomed). Until lasers are installed on game controllers they really have no worries.
My controller would have to be upgraded for speed. I couldn’t get past the first level of a star wars game that my 14 yr old played. Gave up and played with graphic design and photo editing instead. Slow and steady.
