> video games cause violence
They don't. Nothing harmful can come out of reading a book.
> DnD leads to Satanism
It can't, ever. No subculture can wander so close to satanism that would lead their elements to coopt it.
> TV rots brains
It doesn't. There's no way of consuming TV that has a negative impact on people.
> movies lead to illiteracy
They don't. Having the choice of a movie never prevented anyone from having to practice spending time learning to consume literature.
> books lead to dangerous thought
They don't. Nothing dangerous can be transmited in print.
Well done, everything is harmless.

- AlexandrB 4y agoPretty sure the parent was being sarcastic in response, given obviously false statements like: > Well done, everything is harmless.
- 2000UltraDeluxe 4y agoD'oh!
- dghughes 4y agoIsn't the inability to detect sarcasm known to be an early sign of dementia?
- booleandilemma 4y agoAnd HN usage leads to the inability to recognize sarcasm. Google it, it's true.
- MichaelCollins 4y agoSarcasm in response to sarcasm is evidently twice as easy to miss.

- z9znz 4y agoDownvoted with no replies... does that mean "it's true but I don't like to read it", or does it mean "it creates a cognitive dissonance that I can't deal with, and I don't know how to respond... so I downvote and hope it goes away"? This is HN. Step up and disagree with words, assuming your brain has not turned completely to 4th grade mush.
