Is this real? Mothers against gaming.

A cracked article led me here, a twitter page decrying the evils of videogames. Among the gems are declarations that legend of zelda encourages grave-robbing and makes teens afraid of the moon, as well as making tenuous links between minecraft and misogyny. Their ultimate goal seems to be to have games reclassified as "weapons training" to get them banned. :eek:

There are also serious overtones of sexism in their posts. Normally i'd assume this was a joke page, thinking people couldn't really be this dense but then again...it is America...

Americans + Parents + Internet Access + Limited Knowledge of Subject Matter = Hilarity

I'm pretty sure. I mean, I was on the fence after the picture of the N64 controller flying into the World Trade Center and all...

Always liked this one. Apparently some comedian though, not someone from nintendo.

Surely someone has to start a "Parents for gaming" group

Poes law in full effect

Has to be a brilliant troll -

For similar to this, check out the *Christians Against Slipknot" page on Facebook, it may be made by the same people...

It's an just an excuse for them being **** parents.

"Christians against dinosaurs" is a terrifyingly real thing...

I think there's only one more generation to go before gaming is world-widely accepted and not regarded as something dangerous. By that time comes I'll be old as sh1t, having my grand-nieces/nephews laughing at the state of my PS4's graphics.

I'm fairly certain it's just a troll account.
