New “Active Shooter” Video Game Is Seriously, Seriously Messed Up.

I don’t know that I blame school shootings on violent video games.

I blame school shootings on a decaying society where parents have ceased parenting and morality has been entirely replaced with narcissism.

Many contend video games desensitize young people to death. Never in the history of the world have young people in industrialized nations been exposed to LESS death. There was a time where death and violence were just the norm. You didn’t see little pioneer kids shooting up their school houses.

No, this is not on video games. At least not entirely. I think blaming video games is really short-sighted of a larger societal problem at hand.

But this? This is absolutely revolting.

According to Daily Mail:

A blood-thirsty new video game that encourages players to take part in a school shooting has triggered outrage online.

The upcoming game, Active Shooter, lets players choose between taking on the role of a SWAT team member trying to stop an ongoing school shooting — or the role of the shooter themselves.

Those who play as the shooter will be shown a tally of the number of civilians and police officers they have managed to kill during their simulated shooting spree.

What the HELL?

Should someone look in to the people that designed this game? Because they are SERIOUSLY sick individuals.

‘Pick your role, gear up and fight or destroy!’ the description on the Active Shooter listing declares.

‘Only in “Active Shooter”, you will be able to pick the role of an Elite S.W.A.T team member or the actual shooter.

‘Depending on the role, your objective might be to protect and extract or hunt and destroy.’

The developer has promised to add a ‘civilian survival mode’ shortly after launch, which will challenge players to survive for as long as possible inside a school environment with a gunman on the loose.

I just can’t imagine what kind of sicko would profit off of something like this.

The game is set to launch June 6th…

The controversial video game will launch less than a month after 17-year-old Dimitrios Pagourtzis killed eight students and two substitute teachers with a shotgun in Santa Fe High School, Texas.

Talk about poor taste. This is so, so gross.

And you’d think that with everything that has happened, video game developers would want to move AWAY from anything that shines a negative light on their industry. After all, they’re already being scrutinized:

Following the shooting in Santa Fe, Lieutenant Governor of Texas Dan Patrick blamed the creators of violent video games and films for promoting a ‘violent culture where we’ve devalued life’.

Patrick told ABC News: ‘Psychologists and psychiatrists will tell you that students are desensitized to violence, have lost empathy for their victims by watching hours and hours of violent video games.”

My thoughts? The creators of this game need to realize they ROYALLY screwed up, and never release it.

If they don’t? Well… anyone who plays this game, or worse, ALLOWS THEIR CHILDREN To play this game is OFFICIALLY a threat.

This is legitimately one of the more effed up things I’ve ever heard of.
