Links zur Presse (Stigma) Vol. 5

[ShaneFenton]

I'm frankly not surprised by the involvement of the NRHZ : they've always been the one and only newspaper to publish the contributions of the most vociferous anti-killerspiele figures such as Maria Mies, Rudolf Hänsel and Sabine Schiffer. In fact, I would have been surprised if they had nothing to say. The problem is : I expected a bit more from them. Hänsel is just parroting other press releases, and Mies is just renewing her "Cologne Call". Nothing new under the sun.

By the way, Rey_Alp had a question about Thomas de Maizière's statement :

The real secret is - why did de Maizière mentioned it. So I guess that this isn't a revive of the discussion yet. It is just the media coverage of the statement of the minister of the interior - and a few weird reactions related to this.

I guess I have one theory, inspired by an article in a French political blog : http://www.causeur.fr/migrants-maiziere ... 39631.html

In short, Thomas de Maizière plays the role of the "bad cop" in the Merkel government. He's the one who counterbalances Merkel's softer image by a series of "tough" declarations. His goal is to reassure the right-wing fraction of the opinion (who is more and more seduced by AFD and Pegida) and re-establish, in their minds, the CDU/CSU as "the Party of Law and Order".

If this theory is right, I guess his recent anti-"Killerspiele" declarations make sense. Usually, when a terrorist attack occurs, he attacked radical islam. But as the Munich Amoklauf couldn't be related to ISIS, there was still something to blame (e.g. "Killerspiele"). So it was an opportunity for de Maizière to make another strong declaration and show people how "bad cop" he was.

That is a point.

Next year we have the federal election in Germany - maye they just started the campaign and he wants to promote the "law and order"-image of the CDU/CSU. The have a problem with the AFD - so it make sense.

In MecklenburgVP the afd is chasing the CDU, which only has a one point lead. So yeah. "Nothing may be more right wing than CDU" strategy looming here. I think he would have waded in more, but didn't expect the backlash on social media, which today has much more political weight than a decade ago.

Plus, there are more and older gamers now (about 4 mio. FPS players in Germany).

It's similiar here in Austria. The chancellor (Kern) also has such a minister.
His name is Doskozil. This guy even is a former police officer.

In Austria, the biggest chance in all of Western europe exists that the next chancellor (or at least vice-chancellor) will come from the far-right. There is also still a good chance that both heads of the state will be far-right politicians.
Therefore the centrist parties are doing everything they can to establish "law & order"-policies themselves: on the one hand to prevent a right-wing government from happening and stop the rise of the far-right, on the other hand to commend themselves as partners. In Austria, the immigrant policy is already unfriendly as a whole.
The only difference I see in France, where there is still largely a divide between the far-right and the rest of the parties. A "cordon sanitaire", as they once called it in Belgium. Even if this one is already crumbling (too).

"Indizierung setzt wichtiges Zeichen gegenüber Vertreibern"

Interview mit Martina Hannak-Meinke vom 25.08.

Hinter Paywall. Jemand Lust, sich das zu besorgen?

Ich würde dafür kein Geld ausgeben wollen, auch wenn das im Teaser nach Verniedlichung klingt:

Am 1. April 2016 trat Martina Hannak-Meinke den Vorsitz der Bundesprüfstelle für jugendgefährdende Medien an

Nach dem Ausscheiden der langjährigen Vorsitzenden Elke Monssen-Engberding übernahm zum 1. April 2016 Martina Hannak-Meinke das Amt der BPjM-Chefin. In einem ausführlichen Gespräch begründet sie ihr Verständnis der Aufgaben und der Spruchpraxis: "Eine Indizierung durch die Bundesprüfstelle setzt ein wichtiges Zeichen gegenüber Produzenten und Vertreibern und signalisiert diesen, wann Inhalte gegen die in der Gesellschaft allgemein anerkannten Erziehungsziele und Werte verstoßen."

Hat hier jemand die Dokumentation "Krieg und Spiele" gesehen?

Krieg und Spiele rücken im Zeitalter der Drohnentechnologie näher zusammen. Unbemannte Kriegsroboter führen immer häufiger Kriegsgefechte ohne unmittelbare Beteiligung von Soldaten – der Prozess wird aus sicherer Entfernung gesteuert, oft an einem Bildschirm, wie in einem Computerspiel .[...]

Erinnert mich thematisch an die „hart aber fair“-Folge mit Prinz Harry und seinem „schnellen Daumen“. Ugh.

Ich hab den Schluss davon erst gestern glaub ich (ernsthaft) auf RT gesehen. Wie kann das sein: kommt in Deutschland grad ins Kino, lief aber schon im Russischen Staatsfernsehen weltweit in HD? Auch heute wieder: https://www.rt.com/schedule/
https://www.rt.com/shows/documentary/35 ... es-future/ Ist das ein Zusammenschnitt?
Mir ist es aufgefallen, weil es einen Copyright-Hinweis auf "Call of Duty - Black Ops II" in den Credits hatte. Das war aber das einzige Spiel was in meiner Erinnerung dort erwähnt wurde: das Ende zeigte jedenfalls auch diese Kinder (aus dem Trailer) die auf Drohnen zielen.
