Its entirely comparable. That kind of pearl clutching was what lead to that eventually,
It isnt so bad now but just wait until the tumblr moral wannabes start trying to make a thing out of it on a larger scale.
The comic book burning is just the logical conclusion of that kind of stuff, what else do you expect to happen when you have people shouting "this shouldnt be made"?  That they all politely agree on what should be made instead?

But none of that is even remotely likely; even if there was some kind of wide-scale campaign, it sure as hell wouldn't be emerging from a small minority on Tumblr: it would be from cable news and idiot pundits. But even that is all old hat, not only is this game is not high-profile enough to reach their attention, the whole "violent video games are gonna corrupt the children" thing is all sort of old hat, whenever it pops up, it doesn't last. It died with Jack Thompson's respectability, and everytime is gets brought up in situations where it actually gains traction (like when the Vice President of the NRA complained that violent video games/movies were the real problem not guns), it always fades away from the conversation; there are far, far more pressing matters in the gaming world than a phantom of a imagined possibility of a problem. Worrying that a tiny subset of people on the internet could bring anything comparable to the backlash against comics in the 50s is pretty much the definition of pearl clutching. It's not even worth thinking about.

you have a whole group of people taught  that Sexism in videogames cause sexism in real life, how far from that is "violence in videogames create violence in real life"  that Jack Thompson did?

Situation is interesting and is related to the comic book censorship. It hasnt scaled to that point obviously nor do I think it will but its still comparable and giving that comparison benefited the thread.

I disagree, what would those be? Discussion of censorship and potential breakdown seems far more pressing on the highlight of this trailer and the discussions it sparked.
