https://www.ign.com/articles/young-male-gamers-twice-as-likely-to-believe-conspiracy-theories-uk-study-suggests>A new study has found that young male gamers in the UK are twice as likely to believe conspiracy theories compared to the country's general population.>The statistic comes from a new report by research firm More in Common and The AKO Storytelling Institute at the University of Arts London (via Video Games Industry Memo), which polled thousands of young Brits on their thoughts, and grouped them based on their average video game usage.>One aim of the study was to identify if video games could be a useful tool to reach those who may have switched off from mainstream media, and instead believed misinformation or disinformation spread by other sources.>Intriguingly, the gaming-heavy group that most stated they agreed with the idea that "secret groups are controlling global events" also stated they were four times more confident that they would be able to spot misinformation.>2,000 British men aged 18 to 24 were polled for the study, a group dubbed "Sceptical Scrollers", who account for 10% of the country's population, though are among those with the lowest income, most likely to be in debt and live in social housing close to where they grew up.>The group is among the least likely to watch terrestrial TV, listen to radio, or read a newspaper, instead favoring to trust news and reports seen on YouTube, via podcasts or social media. But in terms of video games, the group plays more than any other.

>>742024616>secret groups are controlling global eventsIf one doesn't believe this they're mentally retarded
>>742024616Yeah its just a coincidence all white western nations are being invaded by shitskins while the governments crush and censor any descent. It's also just a coincidence that most of these governments show unyielding support to Israel. Let's also just ignore the whole Epstein thing.
>>742024616The conspiracy theory? Excessive uncontrolled immigration combined with the refusal to enforce law make a country worse.
>>742024616>people who train their brain through puzzles are more likely to recognize harmful plots aimed towards them Shocker!
>>742024616We all know moids are retarded, what else is new?
>pattern recognition is bad actuallygot it
This is true. I'm literally the only person in my friend group that doesn't believe that either humanity was seeded to earth by an alien species, a secret base with a portal of some kind is in Antarctica, the flat earth, and that aliens built the pyramids (this one actually changes sometimes to an advanced race here before humans built the pyramids or taught the humans how to build the pyramids). They watch youtubers telling them these things as fervently as if they were sitting in church on sunday morning. Oh and the flat earther believes that God is sealed away inside the moon. I'm the only one in that group that doesn't recreationally take drugs though. I say recreationally but ever since the mushrooms hit it's been more religiously. I wish they were on the level of government conspiracies. Thank you for reading my blog
>>742024616No shit people who shut themselves from the outside world and only interact with media that are designed to reinforce their beliefs have increasedly extremist viewpoints
>>742024616Big surprise. Gaming is full of unintelligent people.
Not saying every single conspiracy in existence is true, but it's funny how often they eventually turn out to actually be correct.
Don't believe me? It's all in the numbers.
Humans work together to do things all the time, it's part of our basic nature. Humans are also very prone to malicious deeds, and will often work together with other nefarious humans to accomplish said goals.So it's not exactly strange for a curious person to theorize the ways certain parties may be conspiring to do something, no? Golly, I wonder why all these nasty big-money types push so hard to demonize the notion of conspiracy theories! I'm sure it was entirely organic though.
>>742024616Op is faggothttps://www.moreincommon.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/202511_UK_Countering-disinformation-through-games_report.pdf_compressed.pdfThere's the actual "study", its formatted horribly and full of grammar errors
>>742024616>(((study))) about (((conspiracy theories)))just incredible
>>742024616>the people involved in the conspiracy fund research that frames people recognising the conspiracy as being in the wrongIt's all so tiresome
>>742024616>"Sceptical Scrollers", who account for 10% of the country's population, though are among those with the lowest income, most likely to be in debt and live in social housing close to where they grew up.Sounds about right. Why would people who are checked out of society care about society?
>>742025609Stop noticing goyim. Just accept 4 billion Indians into your country.
This is because video games compete for TV time, so when you're using the TV to play video games, you're not being exposed to official propaganda.That's basically it.In other words, people who play video games are more likely to view the world through perspectives that are taboo, not because they're false, but because they aren't the perspectives the establishment supports.
>>742024616>conspiracy theoriesOh you mean those things that continually get proven to be true?>UK study>anything coming out of the UKNothing but propaganda and lies.
>>742024616Zoomies and alphas are the most gullible, schizo-paranoid, conspiracy gulping generation to ever exist. They'll believe any-fucking-thing as long as it sounds malicious and sinister enough, and tell them it's a plot by secret elites that are out to get everyone
>>742025713Conspiracy implies the malicious plot is being weaved behind the scenes.Fat cats trying their hardest to exploit the lower class for maximum profit is hardly inconspicuous nowadays.
>>742024616>conspiracy theoriesLike for example?
>>742025891The Great Replacement® Conspiracy Theory™ which posits Mass Immigration has ethnically cleansed Native Europeans from their own Cities and will eventually lead to Whites being Genocided.Wikipedia rightly denotes this as an EXTREMIST SCHIZOPHRENIC CONSPIRACY THEORY.
>>742025526Do they have a plan to liberate God from the moon?
>>742024616>people with a modicum of intelligence and pattern recognition refuse to be retardedwow, what a revelation
>>742024616>One aim of the study was to identify if video games could be a useful tool to reach those who may have switched off from mainstream media, and instead believed misinformation or disinformation spread by other sources.in other words: can we use videogames as a propaganda tool ? the answer is no, at least not with current day devs as we've seen from that UK game, Pathways, that gave us that purple haired chick named amelia
>>742026134I need to find out. It might make a kino game to be honest

Peoples who's hobby it is solving digital puzzles are more likely to be notice patterns!
>young male gamers twice as likely to be based
>>742025779The elite have recognized this and have slowly transformed games into propoganda (see: Sweet Baby and DEI inclusions and female empowerment heroes).
>>742024616its not a conspiracy theory if its true.they are just mad we can see trough their lies.
>>742024616>constantly conspire, sometimes semi-openly>someone accuses you of conspiring again>people who paid attention in the past go "wouldn't surprise me if this were true, they have a history of it">"WOW, CONSPIRACY THEORIST MUCH?!"
>conspiracy theorywhat theory? pretty much every horrible thing imaginable has been done by people already.
>>742024616It's pattern recognition. They only call you a conspiracy theorists to shame you for noticing.
>>742024616>the generation growing up seeing conspiracy theories become reality more likely to believe in themShocker

The appeal of conspiracy theories is that you are instantly smarter than 99% of everyone else on the planet. That’s why, like they say, you can’t use logic to talk someone out of a position they never used logic to get into. All they’re hearing is "Hey, do you wanna go back to being average, while I keep calling you stupid and everyone reminds you how extra stupid you once were?"
Yeah, I mean who would believe that there's an island where elites fly to fuck underage women and kids and it's all backed by the Rothschilds? That's insane!What do you mean there's a concerted effort to bring in third-worlders exclusively to white nations? Citing official government numbers is conspiracy thinking!Lab Leak?Conspiracy! Wait what? It's officially agreed it could have been that? Nevermind.
>>7420259752023>This is an evil conspiracy theory by racists who want to cause a racewar2026>It's happening and it's a good thing, it's the new France, I love negroes and arabs and I fucking hate yt pipoMy enemies are ontologically evil and that gives me the right to exterminate every single one of them in any way I see fit.
>/vpol/ still thinks lefties are the issueLmao
>>742025212It will never not be funny and sad how redpilledfags think their western govs aren't responsible for fucking up the regions where those "invaders" are fromLike you actual well groomed propagandized retards legitimately believe your govs are only guilty of "being too nice" rather than them being the psychopath criminal fucks propping up terrorism, gebocides, starvation etc. if it means their corpos will get cheap resources from the ruins, all the while larping as progressive humanitarians
>>742024616It's long been shown that people who believe conspiracy theories often feel alone and ignored and cling to those beliefs to feel a sense of greater purpose or belonging with fellow believers. Maybe society should look at why young male gamers feel this way.
>>742024616Could it be their low socio-economical status that's the problem? No! It's the video games causing it! We can't go inspecting the root cause behind their debt and poor housing.
>>742024920even the ones who do not believe this cannot rebuke it. of course the secret group is a quite large - like 50 jewish families + like 500+ other jew+goy mixup + masons at some point we are talking about maybe 4-5000 people + some other who have a smaller input but still do have a say. maybe 10 000 people in total hold 90% of the decisions.
>>742027129They are
>>742024616The UK has a rather extended definition of the therm "conspiracy theory".
>>742026875>le Christians bad subversive kikeYou're not gonna do shit. Kill yourself instead.
>>742027136Uh huh, just don't ask who sent those war dogs to destabilize the 3rd world.
>>742024616imagine a bong saying conspiracy theory>conspiwacy feewywhat a disgusting race
>>742027417>retard in charge of reading Everybody who expected you not to fuck up - fucked up.
>>742024616The Epstein Files are actively being covered up. Conspiracies exist and only fools take what the government say at face value.
>>742027160That may be true of people who believe in ancient aliens and the like, but the reason I personally keep up with horrific non-mainstream reporting on mass rapes and deepstate agendas is certainly not that I *like* to hear that it's happening
>>742026884If only all could believe, this world would be saved
>>742027136Yeah bro the governments of Germany and Sweden and Poland and others is why pakistan is a shithole kek, definitely not the fault of islam and the people there >rather than them being the psychopath criminal fucks propping up terrorism, gebocides, starvationSpare me this fucking duginist third worldist nonsense, what a joke
>>742024616maybe we'd stop believing in them if they stopped being right so often
>>742025526So you're the token normalfag of the group then?
>>742024616Gaming is the new Woodstock/Metallica/Metalhead culture worldwide. Jews culled those in the late 90s after years of fighting for censorship, such as Tipper Gore's "Explicit Lyrics" bill in the 80s, forcing record labels to age-gate their releases with age ratings and documentation of explicit lyrics, banning those from public radios in place of PG editions. Then Woodstock in 99 scared the global leaders seeing a slight similarity to the rise of Nazis in how many white dudes and foids were willing to get rallied into violent and drug-addled behavior in the millions, most notably over Limp Bizkits "break stuff" moment. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YPk7-fCvbaohttps://youtu.be/sktG4OcP5TE?si=mtmV4192y14kulOM&t=128I listen a lot to Tool (like every other autist kek) and interviews with the members, and Maynard always pointed out that metal-fans were entitled and impossible to deal with even in the 90s. It's a bit like Gamers, actually. They would call out any metal group for "selling out", and gatekeep the audience at concerts to shove out anyone who seemed like posers.Jews thought they had put this to rest, but they didn't count on gaming becoming so big that it replaces Hollywood, and that's one of many reasons why we've been seeing "GamerGate" type psyops since 2014, which was right around the time when gaming became normiefied.

>>742024920You need to have worked in c-suite or governance to realize just how retarded people are and that its literally impossible for people to enact conspiracies because people are really fucking retarded.Trust me when I say absolutely no one is in control and no one capable of taking control is anywhere near power. It's very funny reading conspiracy theories when you know the people involved in said conspiracies that are supposed to be some world controlling force yet are just surviving the day and deciding everything on a whim like everyone else.People have no fucking idea how incompetent people are. Putins failure in Ukraine, Chinas fumbling of their birthrates and economy, and Israels failure in Iran should really clue you in that no one knows what the fuck they are doing.People are literally not competent enough to enact a conspiracy
>>742027898The very term "conspiracy theory" was popularized by the feds because nobody believed the official report on Kennedy's assassination. See picrel for "fake news".

>>742027751This. I just ended my NEET session last week and work in warehouse labor now.My mentor is a brownskinned guy and in friday's break he showed me his TikToks and talked about his gaming habits. He plays a game called "Chain" or something, where he prefers playing on the Arabian server and watch pakistani TikTok clips. Every clip he showed me looked like footage from the middle east, and he outright said they took in-game bombs and attached them to themselves like bomb vests, and smiled as he told us.White guy next to me knew him a little bit better, but even he was quiet. I know he was thinking "holy shit, this is biologically a part of brown psychology.", exactly like I was.
