Kamala Harris Dropped a New Custom 'Fortnite' Map
I promise you read that headline correctly. Kamala Harris is taking her campaign right to 'Fortnite' in a truly surreal way.
You're viewing a single thread.
I wonder if Kamala Harris herself knows what that means.
On the one hand it's a bit like how it was newsworthy that Barack Obama's campaign was on Twitter. I remember the hearings in '94 when congress flipped their collective dentures over video games, and the president of Nintendo of America promised congress that Night Trap would never be available to play on Nintendo hardware. Video games were particularly expensive toys for sex accidents at the time. Well the accidents grew up and registered to vote. Now look at Washington. "Congressman Ocasio-Cortez and vice presidential candidate Walz play Crazy Taxi."
There are sitting politicians today, probably including Harris and absolutely including Biden, who campaigned to ban video games because that's what was popular with the 55 to 95 demographic. I don't know if I should forgive them as a cohort for that.
All this does is remind me how hollow and inhuman politicians are.
I've got no clue if Harris or Biden campaigned ever to ban video games ... But let's say they did. Wouldn't it be a good thing to have had their opinions change? I know my opinion changes regarding a lot of things as time goes on.

Doubtful that Harris would have ever said anything about banning video games, but happy to be proven wrong here. She’s the same age as Walz and became an elected official an entire decade after the 1993-94 Senate hearings, and also would have been in her late teens/early twenties during the tail end of the arcade era and the rise of home consoles like the NES. I really doubt Harris has a closed minded view on video games “corrupting the youth” or whatever..
