Camp hack n’ slash can feed your ‘Darkest Thoughts’
As if the circular blame game surrounding violent crime wasn’t bad enough, one particular British tabloid has decided to implicate Dynasty Warriors in the Adam Lanza school shooting. Yes, we’ve moved on from Mass Effect and are onto a game that doesn’t even feature guns.
“Chillingly, his favourite video game was said to be a shockingly violent fantasy war game called Dynasty Warriors,” writes The Express, “which is thought to have given him inspiration to act on his darkest thoughts.”
Yes, that’s right — the camp, kung fu B-movie stylings of Dynasty Warriors has transformed, through the power of journalism, into a “violent fantasy war game” with “chilling” implications and the power to feed one’s “darkest thoughts.” A game with no blood, that refers to defeated opponents as “KO’d,” and isn’t even rated 18 — the series is that friggin’ tame.
I already ranted about the cowardly buck-passing of the violence-friendly news media, so I won’t go into it again. I will, however, provide video footage of the game thought to encourage the darkest thoughts of a killer, just to highlight what a fucking ridiculous bunch of shitting idiots they have writing for the Express. Enjoy!
So very, very chilling.
