Rockstar baulks as a Charlie Kirk assassination mission is created in GTA Online, bans it and censors his name, but there's more out there

[you_are_dust@lemmy.world]

The Postal games faced bans and censorship. The ending of the original Postal was changed at one point. I believe all the Postal games were pulled from something at one point or another.
JFK reloaded caused a huge amount of backlash and politicians and stuff denouncing the game.
But these games don't have anything to do with Rockstar at all. So it's not really relevant to Rockstar not wanting a Charlie Kirk mission.

its quite the shit recreation honestly.

I'd be very surprised if he wanted to make it so accurate that you could use it in a documentary. It's probably a shitpost cobbled together in a few hours for himself and his buddies.

Unknown. They wisely kept the burial details a secret.

I haven’t played GTA in years. I guess you can make your own missions now? And this was a user created mission?

[jballs@sh.itjust.works]

Crazy how repeating a false narrative allows it to stick. That's why these ass clowns are always so quick to get in the first word and say shit like Renee Nicole Good was a domestic terrorist. Spouting bullshit is powerful.

really? even in findagrave?

[samus12345@sh.itjust.works]

Yup, deliberately hidden.

[trslim@pawb.social]

remember when Postal did a parody of the Waco massacre?

PCGamer is officially off my reading list now.

Rockstar doesn't make games for you anymore; it makes what the wealthy elite want you to play.

Fuck Rockstar.

I avoided that game based on the name, but from what I gather, it was misleading; pretty much every sect of that school is full of jerks (sadly including the nerds, who often cater to their own victim complex), and your character is just facing the larger of them.

Well, there goes the only legitimate reason to still play GTA online.

Karlie Chirk mission

[hector@lemmy.today]

I am curious how into this they got, with the details of the killing being that the official story is untrue, patently on it's face impossible. That rifle was not what shot him at that range. The shooter presumably didn't disassemble that rifle into that litlle pack in 1 minute either.

If honest, the mission is to orchestrate a killing for israel's factions in the US, for them to make turning point into a nazi youth and both college and public school policer of thought and cataloguer of students and teachers, after kirk rejected that plan and the Israel back board member p(r)icks for his own guys with his own vision.

Most people would not want to be on their side though. What being nazis and all.

[fishos@lemmy.world]

Too bad there's not an article that answers all of these things in the first paragraph.

[artimexthehybrid@sh.itjust.works]

Pussies.

Suppression is often countered with flooding tactics.

[taekwondoh@lemmy.world]

No balls.

The Big Lie is an old strategy that the Nazis used to great success, so not surprisingly, it has become the foundational strategy for MAGA as well.

One of the things we need to do in the future is to regulate political speech. Politics is just marketing for candidates, and advertising/marketing speech is regulated for truthfulness. If politicians decide to start spewing demonstrable lies, they need to held accountable, with fines, loss of access to the media, loss of the ability to run for office, and perhaps even prison time.

And we need to regulate the Conservative Propaganda Machine as a National Security Threat. You can responsibly oppose and criticize the government, but you can't deploy your media outlet to organize with others to help overthrow the government, or provide cover for the treason or government abuse of others. At that point, your media has become a weapon of sedition, and should be dealt with decisively.

So we should make Alex Jones and Stephen Miller missions to train people for the sequels?
