Ace smiled at the two older women understandingly, "Now hold on. I think I read the same article you did; some Fed commenting that all but one pedophile they'd caught was a Star Trek fan. That doesn't mean all Star Trek fans are pedophiles, not even a significant fraction are. I've been a kid around Trekkers, so I think I'd know."
Miss Maybelle noted, "But you are a young, unattached white male, raised without a father figure."
Miss Margarette asked, "Do you own one of those Klingon swords?"
As Ace backed up a step, Miss Maybelle continued, "Have you ever dressed as a Klingon?"
"Now look," said Ace, "being a Star Trek fan doesn't mean I'm going to molest children any more than being a gamer means I'll turn violent."
"You're a gamer?" asked Miss Margarette.
"Yes," declared Ace.
"Back away slowly, Maybelle," whispered Miss Margarette.
Miss Maybelle whispered back, "Don't look him in the eye's Margarette.

Something I just noticed, Margaret on the left there, her shirt is very nearly the same pink as her skin so she looks like she’s naked under her jacket.
At this point he should jump at them and yell “BOO”.
I’ve heard a psych report that says the opposite, that gamers having a virtual release for anger & stress are LESS likely to lose it and turn violent than people that just bottle it up until they explode.
Not just one report, EVERY properly conducted study on the relationship between video games and violent behavior, from Pong to the present day, has unanimously concluded there’s not connection, and in fact most find gamers are LESS violent and aggressive in their daily lives than non-gamers (although they have spikes of aggression while playing, only relating to the game itself).
Politicians trying to get elected still like to beat this dead horse to this day, hoping to convince people there’s a crusade against video games needing to be fought and they’re volunteering to lead it if you vote their way. >_>
