Although conservative outlets such as Fox News tend to get more flack and attention for having anti-video game sentiments, there are those on the left who also seem to misunderstand video games.
Hillary Clinton provides a good example of how this anti-video game sentiment seems to be a problem on both sides of the aisle. Somewhat infamous for starting an anti-video game coalition in congress after the GTA: San Andreas "Hot Coffee" incident, Hillary more recently spoke on the importance of controlling video games during the Christmas season.
Clinton commits numerous logical fallacies in this speech; however, I find her general misunderstanding of what goes on in video games to be more disturbing. I don't think it surprises anybody to find out that most politicians know almost nothing about video games, but you would think that somebody could fill them in at least a little! Hillary seems to think that cannibalism is a common thread in video games. Like many others, she also seems to think that many video games like GTA are focused entirely on "gaining points for committing violent acts".
Finally, the most heinous of insults comes as Clinton seems to think that people are likely to copy the behaviors that they commit in video games. More discussion on this, and her entire speech in the following video.
