[Documentary] The blood on our Controllers - The Complicity of the Game Industry in the Palestinian Genocide

Watch here

Quoted from the video description:

"The blood on our Controllers" is an amateur documentary made to denounce the role of the video game industry in the normalization of the Palestinian genocide, through its close relation with the military industrial complex and the representation of Arab communities in games. It is a collaborative work between developers, artists, animators, and academicians to show how our games are doing wrong or right, what the game industry could be and what needs to be done for it to happen.

It's time for those who have been the loudest for so long to try and learn to listen.

Speakers (in order of appearance): Hippolyte Caubet, Rami Ismail, Younès Rabii, Florent Maurin, Meghna Jayanth, Holly Nielsen, Rasheed Abueideh, Elodie Roblain, Florence Nichols Smith

Haven't watched it, but this seems so far-fetched, I can't really take it seriously. Really? The gaming industry is complicit in the palestinian genocide? I bet the claim is they made games where there are Muslim terrorists, so now all gamers equate terrorists to Muslims, Palestinians are Muslims, therefore they are terrorists, therefore they should be killed like in games where they are dehumanized, aka "killer games make killers", amirite?

Maybe that's not what the video claims, but I'd appreciate a summary of the video as I don't want to spend $TIME watching something if that's going to be the message. It'd be a waste.
