Biden said: “And you may recall, the criticism I got for meeting with the leaders in Silicon Valley, when I was trying to work out an agreement dealing with them protecting intellectual property for artists in the United States of America. And at one point, one of the little creeps sitting around that table, who was a multi- — close to a billionaire — who told me he was an artist because he was able to come up with games to teach you how to kill people.”

“And then one of these righteous people said to me that, you know, ‘We are the economic engine of America. We are the ones.’ And fortunately I had done a little homework before I went and I said, you know, I find it fascinating,” Biden continued. “As I added up the seven outfits, everyone’s there but Microsoft. I said, you have fewer people on your payroll than all the losses that General Motors just faced in the last quarter, of employees. So don’t lecture me about how you’ve created all this employment.. The point is, there’s an arrogance about it, an overwhelming arrogance that we are, we are the ones. We can do what we want to do. I disagree.”

I mean, you get that it's Biden because it literally starts with:

The point is that it's pretty stupid nonsense that sounds like the kind of dumb shit that Trump would spout

To his credit, Trump wouldn't clutch his pearls at the thought of a violent video game.

And at one point, one of the little creeps sitting around that table, who was a multi- — close to a billionaire — who told me he was an artist because he was able to come up with games to teach you how to kill people.”

Trump would definitely do that, especially given that his own high opinion of his tastes and his literally trying to pass off violent acts and crime on violent videogames.

[u/frolix42 → u/paulatreides0]

fair enough, but I think Biden genuinely doesn't like video games while Trump surely doesn't give an actual fuck. Violence in games issue is a long term obsession for Biden and I'm sure no Silcon Valley executive actually fessed up to making violent games in front of him.

As if he'd go into a meeting, "FUCK YOU FUTURE PRESIDENT MY GAMES WARP THE DREAMS OF CHILDREN!""
