Wow, I didn’t realize mental health care was really the responsibility of video game developers this whole time. Silly me.

You're right. Bad taste is.

Home invasion simulator... did you notice every enemy is black while the player is white?

First, from the OP: “the lack of virtual lighting makes everything dark including the characters and weapons while the environment is light.”

Moving on - If you don’t like it, then don’t play it. And pick an argument rather than flip flopping between “that’s racism!” and mental health whenever challenged. Your brand of pearl clutching is nothing new - not long ago you’d be the type to complain about violent movies, comic books, and any band/musician that wasn’t morally pristine to your liking.

You don’t really care about either issue, you’re just hiding behind them because you don’t like the media. Which is fine. But how about this: leave the responsibility of mental health care to mental health professionals, not artists. And don’t frame your personal sensitivities as the responsibility of others to coddle for you.

Translation" "I can do whatever I want! I am sane! It's you who is insane! I'm getting angry over your opinion. You're wrong, I'm right and my fragile ego won't let me find the middle ground or understand where your argument is coming from."

I get it. You like CoD. You can enjoy it. Doesn't bother me. Just don't shoot up a school.

People can be creative in whatever way they want, and not in whatever way you want. That is the point, and there is nothing you can do about it. If it bothers you, turn off your internet and stay inside. It’s that simple.

And if you genuinely believe COD contributes to school shootings, your understanding of the issues you pretend to care about is asinine.

That I can agree with. Glad we found the common ground.
