We actually have videogames censored because one dude killed someone after playing doom. So computers kinda did. And obviously it isn't the fault of the computer. Same with the suicide-pushing. No healthy person would do what a stupid machine says. As usual, people using things of which they know nothing about and were never educated.

Why should I even honor this ad hominem with an answer? Oh right. I don't. Same way you got my point :-)

yeah why construct an sensible argument to bolster your premise lol? Your point was garbage.

Also, it's not an ad hominem attack, but nice try to at least sound competent.
