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.

[–] misanthropy@lemm.ee 17 points 8 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 6 points 8 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.

[–] tutus@sh.itjust.works 11 points 8 months ago

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

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

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

[–] _haha_oh_wow_@sh.itjust.works 11 points 8 months ago

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

What a meaningful life.

What took him so long?

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.
