Violence vs Anti-Violence

In the red corner, we have Jack Thompson, a crusader against violent video games. In the blue corner, we have Henry Jenkins, who defends them.

1UP put the pair side by side to duke it out. Sadly, there were no steel cages involved. Maybe next time. What we get this time, however, is both sides of a debate which isn't going to go away any time soon.

Of course, the outcome is going to surprise nobody. Thompson is a lawyer making coin off of persecuting violent video games, so he's hardly the unbiased voice of reason. Jenkins has a vested interest as well. It does still make an interesting read, though.
