"Reinforces the notion of cultural and maybe racial supremacy," "it amplifies sexist and misogynist ideas about women," "impacts perceptions and beliefs," "reinforces harmful patriarchal ideas," "they and people around them will one day suffer the consequences of that risky behavior," and "increases aggressive behavior as much as lead exposure decreases children's IQ scores."What is this dangerous thing that can cause such extreme and pernicious effects, and in such lofty realm as that of ideas and beliefs? Is it perhaps a new dangerous cult or extremist political group? No, it is video games.And wait until you hear what some of the critics say about the players: "Dater demographic," "obtuse shitslingers," and "reactionaries" who refuse to grow up, and who wish to return to a gaming "utopia largely exempt from critical analysis."Video games being the target of "media effects" controversies is not new, but not until recently have their players, the "gamers," become fuel for moral panics.In this book, you are going to read about a new class of pop culture exegetes and their manufactured controversies about the allegedly violent, sexist, and racist content of video games and entertainment.This process, which first started in the domain of highbrow Criticism, has trickled down and stifled creativity and imagination, pathologized games, fun, and normalcy, and transformed "politics" and "cultural analysis" into a self-aggrandizing and endogamous game of one-upmanship.The ranks of these commentators had swollen, and without more worlds to conquer, they set their eyes on entertainment and video games. They are the Commentariat.

The 1980s saw the peak of a moral panic over fantasy role-playing games such as Dungeons and Dragons. A coalition of moral entrepreneurs that included representatives from the Christian Right, the field of psychology, and law enforcement claimed that these games were not only psychologically dangerous but an occult religion masquerading as a game. Dangerous Games explores both the history and the sociological significance of this panic. Fantasy role-playing games do share several functions in common with religion. However, religionÑas a socially constructed world of shared meaningÑcan also be compared to a fantasy role-playing game. In fact, the claims of the moral entrepreneurs, in which they presented themselves as heroes battling a dark conspiracy, often resembled the very games of imagination they condemned as evil. By attacking the imagination, they preserved the taken-for-granted status of their own socially constructed reality. Interpreted in this way, the panic over fantasy-role playing games yields new insights about how humans play and together construct and maintain meaningful worlds. LaycockÕs clear and accessible writing ensures that Dangerous Games will be required reading for those with an interest in religion, popular culture, and social behavior, both in the classroom and beyond.

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Bringing together a cast of fascinating characters in a riveting tale of ambition and corruption, politics, passion, and ultimate justice, Dangerous Games is a thrilling drama from Danielle Steel. Television correspondent Alix Phillips dodges bullets and breaks rules to bring the most important news to the world—from riots in America to protests on the streets of Tehran. With her daughter in college, and working alongside cameraman Ben Chapman, a deeply private ex–Navy SEAL, Alix revels in the risks and whirlwind pace of her work. But her latest assignment puts her at the center of an explosive story that will reshape many lives, including her own: investigating damning allegations involving the Vice President of the United States, Tony Clark. Alix begins with a nationally revered woman who may be the key to exposing frightening secrets. Olympia Foster is the fragile, reclusive widow of America’s most admired senator, who had been destined for the presidency before an assassin’s bullet felled him. Since then, Olympia has found emotional support in Clark, who once wanted her as his wife and now stands as her protector and confidant. When Alix digs deeper, federal agents pick up the trail. Then the threats start. As the stakes rise in this dangerous game, Alix needs Ben’s help as never before. And soon they realize they are grappling with an adversary far more sinister than they had imagined.
