Did you read the whole thing?

@Revolutionary

Not all the comments, but I read the thread.

<Snipped quote by Dynamics>

What were you thinking of?

@DarkwolfX37

I didn't have something in particular, but something akin to a Holocaust Simulator wasn't it.

It was totally justified.

@Revolutionary

No I mean the people who went in and started shit just because of the subject matter. Acting like it was approving of the event or something.

Well, blergh. The most disturbing thing to me is the combination of it being such a tragic, horrifying, and most importantly real event that was turned into a game for people to "enjoy". It was a real event, that had real people that really suffered. A fictional massacre set in a historical setting would have been... More acceptable, I would think.

Treating it like some sacred taboo thing is wrong. Yes it was horrible, but if people aren't in danger from talking about it, then it should be talked about. We can't just treat horrible shit like it's special. Horrible shit happens all the time. Horrible shit is happening as we speak. Help the victims, hurt the aggressors, and prevent it from happening again, but don't say "oh you can't turn it into a fictional game" or "oh you can't make fun of that" or "oh you can't whatever else." You're practically saying that violent video games are bad at that point. As long as it's not saying "go do this horrible thing" or directly insulting the actual victims directly, then you're criminalizing imagination and coping. If this thing is horrible to turn into a game then so is any violent event. So is the old west and think of how many kids play games about that. Or pretend events that could become real somehow. I kind of get where you're coming from, but that's just glorifying what happened.

There's a fine line between talking about it and turning it into a game. It's not about anything being taboo, it's about respect for those that were involved. In wars, or most other historical events, there are a number of honorable things to take and look at. From something like this? There's nothing honorable or respectful in doing that. The game could have been made in a different manner to have honor or respect, but all it did was turn a tragedy with absolutely no positives to take from it into something to amuse people. World War Two, as a whole, tells the story about the old world's most recent major step into the modern world. The old west tells the story of American expansion and imperialism. It just isn't like that with this particular event.

@Revolutionary

There's nothing honorable about killing. You focused on everything other than the point I tried to make, which means I probably didn't make it well.
