Heck, I sure was as ambiguous as the whole discussion is and always was. Claims of cinema, even theater (even drama in ancient Greece), VHS etc, were a danger to to the general public and specifically to the youth were absolutely real. They even had some point. It's just the fact that the same blame game has been played again and again with every new medium that emerged that has some intrinsic irony. Obviously communication channels can be used by miscreants to spread ugly stuff. Who might have thought? And still people are acting as if thit was new or unexpected. I didn't even have to point thar out, just the sheer mentioning of these undoubted historic facts did the job. Make your own conclusions from that, everyone, but don't be surprised or upset when the next big thing will be used to spoil the youth just again. Because it will happen. It never stopped happening.

Because it's a typical silly season article. Sure, the problem exists, but it's neither new nor is this the first time somebody mentions it. It is just one of these topics that will get warmed up when there's not too much else to write about. Actually, there are enough other problems to write about but these are difficult, need thought and research, eat resources and are political minefields. So it's cheaper to bring up a safe topic for the tenth time without telling anything new.
The whole "spoiling the youth" thing is as old as media and older - Sokrates might want to have word if he were allowed to.
Das hast du aber schön abgemalt.
My deepest respect for your pointing out the funny within the irony until really wach and everyone can laugh about it. Nothing better than a well explained joke, However the explaining of a single joke when just performed exhaustingly and tediously enough by pedantic characters might become itself a new joke, a form of "metahumour".
Richtig, ich habe das auf den Vorposter bezogen. Allerdings passt es auch ganz gut auf dich, wenn ich mir das nochmal so durchlese. Übrigens bist du ja wohl ganz offensichtlich kein Germanist. Mit so einer Grammatik sollte man sich wirklich nicht in fremde Threads einmischen. Zwei mal "tun" in einem Satz, eieiei. Schuster, bleib' bei deinem Leisten - da muss ich dir wieder recht geben.
Kompromissvorschlag:
Im Grunde sollte überhaupt niemand eine Tätigkeit ausführen dürfen, für die jemand anderes -insbesondere Schlaumeier im Internet- höher qualifiziert sein könnte.
Congrats. You have won the Irony Detector 2025 Award which a lot better than the "100% Humour-Free Certificate
It used to be pulp literature, cinema, comics, television, Rock'n'Roll and VHS that spoiled our young. Now it's video games.
Das unterscheidet sich jetzt nur in der Versionsnummer davon, was ich gepostet habe - und ich habe das eher sarkastisch gemeint.
Vernehme ich hier etwa Apostasis? Lasset uns singen: 10010010 01011011 11001001 ...
Ja. Ich habe auch schon Daten in eine seinerzeit ultramoderne VAX eingepflegt, damals den kompletten Warenbestand eines mittelständigen Unternehmens, vom Einkauf des kleinsten Schräubchens bis zum vollständigen Katalog samt Preislisten und aller Eratzteile und Zwischenprodukte. Lief perfekt war aber eine Insellösung und wären sie nicht schon vorher pleite gegangen, wären sie es wohl spätestens bei der Umstellung auf SAP gewesen.
Trotzdem, sieh dir an von welcher Seite solche Hiobsbotschaften normalerweise kommen (gerade Golem&Heise sind da notorisch im unkritischen Abdrucken), rühre die Erkenntnis mit etwas Sarkasmus auf kleiner Flamme auf und du dürftest verstehen, was ich meine.
Jahaha, genau die Antwort, die ich erwartet habe. SInd eben alles Deppen ausser Dir, gell? So einfach ist die Welt des Betriebswirttschaftlers (in spe, vermute ich jetz einfach mal).
You don't realize my intention at all. I deliberately was as neutral as possible. Just one simple sentence. Facts. I am on no one's side, because there's no side in the more or less chronological ordered line of media being accused to spoil the youth, ruin society etc. The irony lies within. No need for intonation (and as a musician, I know a thing about tone and one more about each, rhythm and tempo). No need to take sides in the actual discussion, because it is the old discussion. Yes, there is irony and yes, I am completely serious. This sort of ambivalence is also what makes the arts what they are. Truth is there's practically no disambiguity in the real world, the duality we humans see everywhere is just how our minds simplify things, because evolutionarily most descisions are binary: flight or fight, left road or right one, answer or not, eat unknown berry or don't.
