MoistCr1TiKaL on Media's 'Gaming Kills You' Panic

The absolute brain rot required to call video games 'digital heroin' is something you just have to respect on some level. The Act Man dropped this compilation of mainstream media's greatest hits on gaming fear-mongering, and it's a journey into pure, unadulterated nonsense. You've got news anchors who look like they've never seen a controller in their life, describing Fortnite with the same grave tone they'd use for a natural disaster. They really roll out the red carpet for 'experts' who are just concerned parents convinced their kid is one more round of Call of Duty away from becoming a public menace. The whole thing feels like a time capsule from an era where any new hobby was seen as a satanic plot to corrupt the youth. Some of the claims are just breathtakingly dumb. They aren't just saying gaming is a waste of time; they're genuinely trying to build a case that it will physically harm or kill you. The best parts are when they try to explain the 'dangers' with graphics that look like they were made in MS Paint, showing glowing red brains and lightning bolts zapping a kid's motivation away. It's the kind of content that makes you wonder if these reporters are in on the joke. As penguinz0 points out, the logic they use is so flawed it circles back around to being accidentally hilarious. They treat gaming addiction with the same severity as a fentanyl crisis, completely ignoring any nuance or personal responsibility. This is more than just a reaction; it’s a full-on autopsy of manufactured moral panic. Watching moistcr1tikal methodically dismantle each ridiculous point is beyond satisfying. He perfectly captures the frustration every gamer has felt trying to explain their hobby to someone who only gets their information from these hysterical news segments. The entire video is a masterclass in how to generate clicks by scaring people who don't understand technology. From the wild accusations to the comically serious reporters, it's a reminder that the war on gaming has produced some of the most unhinged content of all time.
