TwitterProtesters Bully Rockstar
August 4th, 2005
Bully draws protesters to Rockstar’s front doors because parents have nothing better to do. First of all, why is Rockstar making a game based on this? Sure, it’s original game content but I’m not sure it even sounds fun. Secondly, with all the hot coffee noise going on lately it would be wise to “delay” (i.e. cancel) Bully for the time being. And lastly, parents… instead of protesting the developer how about you do your job and not buy the game in the first place? Problem solved.

Being a Bully
It’s a lot easier to be a bully these days than it was when we were kids. For instance, all a bully needs today is a copy of a new game from Rockstar… the makers of Grand Theft Auto. Snapfish…

With all the things kids see at school already Bully will seem Soft Core, i mean please too many public middle and high schools are loaded with burnouts, gangs. gothic suicidal children, whores, bad role models that are known as ‘teachers’, actual real life violence, along with crap educations, so please parents if this game is so terrible just look at your our children’s schools, if your so concerned don’t buy the game, and worry about more important things like your own school system. And kids are not so stupid to do what they see on video games or movies, any idiot could conjure up the idea to pull out a gun and shoot someone, its not like the game is telling them it o.k. And these moron parents try to find reasons why their children shot someone, or is suicidal, or isn’t trying in school. They look for excuses or someone to blame when they ignore real problems, like their parenting for instance. And stop pulling these coincidental claims that it was GTA’s fault. My son played doom or GTA and thats why Columbine or a murderhappened, I mean shut up, if you want to look for a reason look at the top of the article, and those weren’t even the problem, those weren’t any child, they were sick and crazy one in a million teens are like that. And how many of those murders happen in terrible neighborhoods, not in the suburbs where GTA is normallly played.

Rockstar does make some violent video games. How does playing them make teens murder their family and friends. Playing video games can be good like sports. Yet older teenagers play games like Grand Theft Auto or other games because it is entertainment. Video games can be helpful for your hand-i coodinations if your a pilot in the army. Think about it this can be helpful for us.

I’ve played games since i was 3 years old. I don’t think I said games were bad. However, Rockstar doesn’t make games for kids yet they somehow continue playing them. Just like certain other things are off limits to children before they are 18 or even 21, mature rated games should be too.

First of all i would like to say something to these parents that dont know whats going on. Second if you think that any game from rockstar or any game company is not good for your child dont buy it. How you going to try to band games from reaching the market. before you buy a game it tells you on the left bottom side of the game the mature rating of the game. so for all you parents thats trying to sue game companies you need to wake up and smell the coffee because you can’t sue or band a game that tells you the ratings on the bottom of the game.

First of all you people need to learn how to spell. Im 18 years old and i agree that most people who play video games just do it for pure enjoyment. Parents dont need to associate themselves with this issue, because it’s not going to solve any of the problems. Like some of you before me posted, the problems only occur in the small group of “special children” who see games no different than real life. Parents should focus more on their childrens schools and even worry about their children taking drugs, before they have any inclination that games are going to mess their kids minds up.
