First off, how is Rap Genius blaming tech and hip hop? I'm not even sure how you could really blame hip-hop for that guy's ignorance, which is prevalent in America and the culture. It's taking a legit example of mysogyny to point out the problem with our culture rather than shoehorning in examples after the actions of a mentally ill person.

Again, I didn't say movies aren't a problem. I said in this specific instance, blaming what happened on movies, which both articles you posted did do, is problematic to say the least.
You're using a tragedy to discuss a broader issue. I'm saying, we should discuss the issue but not in light of the tragedy. Your take away is, Oh, so you don't think it's an issue.
>you have more work to do if you can even get close to stating >where the problem is pointing in all other directions and now >telling other people what are THEY going to do about it when >YOU can't even acknowledge the problem in your favorite >industry.
Since you continue to ignore what I write/believe, there's no reason for me to continue.
If you want to celebrate stories that blame Rogen/Apatow/Revenge of the Nerd movies for this shooting and say that people with mental illness just need to grow up, have fun.
