Dr. Peterson is absolutely *petrified* over the idea of playing video games. One of the great public meltdowns of his posting career came after he invited people to look at his Amazon account, and it was discovered that “Grand Theft Auto 3” was on his “Wishlist”! When he was asked about this peculiarity, he absolutely blew up and claimed that it wasn’t actually *his* list at all, but his son’s. (Perhaps his son is also named “Daniel Peterson”?)
Maybe if he would actually climb out on a limb and play a video game, he’d learn that they really aren’t actually tools of Satan, and that he doesn’t need to deflect accusations of him playing video games onto his innocent son. Regardless, his abject and ridiculous terror in the face of the GTA series continues to raise questions about the extent to which his priesthood can genuinely protect him from the real threats in this world.
