Washed up huckster takes another whack at relevance.

“Former attorney” is a polite way of saying disbarred.

Man, that's a name I haven't heard in a loooong time. Guy was the bane of my childhood, lol.

Who cares what this jackass thinks? He’s a literal blithering idiot.

I remember viciously hating this guy when I was like 12 years old

[–] [email protected] 6 points 5 months ago

I sent and got hatemail back from him.

This is back when you could actually reach people online

Nobody, past, present or future, should listen to this fucking idiot.

Who gives a shit about this useless asshole's opinion?

I thought he was dead & liked it better that way.

Feels like a case of switching sides, in an effort to say relevant and make a few bucks from interviews.

I do not give a shit what Jack Thompson thinks, and neither should you.

His whole schtick was appealing to out of touch parents. With boomers, that was easy when it came to villainizing games. With younger-Xers/millennials as the growing block of parents, the old line of “video games = bad” just won’t get him any gigs. He had to switch up his message if he wants more gigs.
