>going backwards
Yeah, that's Iran for you
Iran from the problem instead of tackling it head-on.
>Iraq talking about negative influences
Offer sex
I thought videogames were haram
things like this would never work because economically video games are establishment tools for and possibly weaponized as well, if other countries don't do this they will be ahead in other things. Either way they don't have the infrastructure to prevent things like this or VPN services.
AND IRAN.
IRAN SO FAR AWAY.
Iran, Iraq, what the hell is the difference?

>says video games are negatively influencing its youth
They're not wrong
Oy vey, get a load of the anti-semitsm in here!
What is it about fortnite that makes kids get so obsessed with it.
I used to think it was just bandwagoning but it's gone beyond that.
If your society is so shit that vidya is what ruins it it deserves to burn. Fuck that worthless country.
sex havers should be virginated
Honestly surprised the entire FPS genre wasn't banned by every country east of Ukraine already. The entire genre was essentially U.S. military recruitment propaganda for a good decade or so.
>games negatively influencing its youth
>bans ONE game
BANNY GAME MAKES PEOPLE WANTY GAME MORE
The US and its citizens seem to view media radically differently from most other people on this planet. Most people don't take entertainment so seriously and most notably lack the moral panic from seeing nudity or sex or ideas foreign to you
but... but the SJW propaganda in my zombie games is going to kill western civilization
Yeah, it's really weird. The other day my bro came over for his gf's birthday to eat and when her kid found out I didn't have an Xbox one or Fortnite he started whining to her saying he was going to call his dad to pick him up if he couldn't play it. Then he went into the bathroom and cried.
probably the US if there's another school shooting toomorow.
I want to call bullshit on this; then I remember all the times I've seen kids just spontaneously start flossing on my way to work.
>"Jamal! Get off that videogame is negatively affecting you! Now get dressed and come with me to the town square so we can watch a harlot be stoned to death!"
That's bullshit. You're grouping an entire genre with shit like CoD, when a lot of FPS games are not even meant to be realistic or have anything to do with the military at all.
>muslims
>Jamal
Hey Iraq
Miss me yet?
not yet
this really makes me think...
policy wise trump seems like an edgy georg bush at best.
>OH NO KIDS ARE PLAYING VIDEO GAMES INSTEAD OF JOINING THE CALIPHATE!
Do we need to invade again?
>trump tried to end the war in the middle east and pull out
>most policy was isolationist in nature
candidate and early trump was pretty far removed from dubya
When did Iraq ever get invaded by China?
Based iraqis
its an arab name dude.
They don't want future jihadists flossing or dabbing in Allah's name.
based Iraq btfoing Epic
Really? The host of issues causing Iraq’s problems and theyll blame vidya instead of the dozens of obvious answers?
I can understand the reasoning, but the government has no right to enforce shit like that. That's the responsibility of the parents.
that's also europe and america
Based Iraq
>spreading information about fortnite in mainstream media was a psy-op to ban video games all along
it all makes sense now
Underrated
Based Iraq telling kids to stop playing Fortnite and get stuck in to the battle royale outside their doors
Based iraq banning manchildren games.
iraqis are not the ones getting 56%ed in their own country.
based sand people
who knew iraq was so based and redpilled
based retard
>video games are negatively influencing its youth
They're right, only bugmen disagree
>play western videogame
>They fill you with stupid ideas like women being people or having brains
>government wisely realizes that this is bullshit and ban them to stop retards from falling for it
I see no problem here.
In fact this is something more governments should do.
I didn't know Iraq even had video games. I thought they were too busy being bombed by Americans.
It's an addiction simulator with a game layered around it. The whole thing works on exploiting FOMO that kids have. As much of a subhuman faggot Dan Olson is, he did a great video in April about what a monster Fortnite actually is under the surface on his channel Folding Ideas or whatever. Fortnite is barely a game, it's a platform to sell garbage to children.
Working with kids, they start flossing all the time. They do it while doing other things. It's like a tic.
what does fortnite do right that gachashit doesn't?
Do you mean as a money-making tool or as an actual game? Because as a game it's barely there. As a thing to make money, everything the game does basically exploits the fear children have of missing out. Everything is limited time and takes a lot of grind to get or a monetary payment. Seasons are short, there's lots to unlock, and the only way to really stay on top of all the grind is to keep buying season pass after season pass while playing a lot. It simultaneously builds a fear of missing out and a sunk cost at the same time.
Before I worked with kids I thought Fortnite was just a harmless fad, like Pokemon when I was a kid, but Pokemon wasn't a 24/7 live service where you could be left behind permanently if you stopped paying attention for a day.

>Iraq bans 'Fortnite'
Basadomonte, is Iraq /ourcountry/?
Gamers are evil
They are right though, just imagine how useless genz is going to be when shit actually hits the fan. A whole generation of young boys so absorbed by a videogame they'll never reproduce nor lose their virginity also because of porn addiction and terrible health and hygiene. The sherry on the top is that it's a Chinese company reaping all the benefits.
Iraq isn't persia retard, you're thinking of Iran.
Video games aren't fun and a waste of time
It is the parents of these kids. Hopefully they do not reproduce. Good riddance. Weak genes anyway.
AYYOO HOL UP
fortnite is zoomer trash, this is actually a good thing.
in saudi arabia there was a big report about sa-mp that it is a terrorist simulator used for training
yes.. ban good.. me hate game...... urgghhhfffhhh hehehehee pipipi
sure
To be honest, Irak still isn't back to even half of the life level it had under Saddam, so of course having americanized lazy teens around is a problem.
