      Didn’t they literally make a game about bullying, also is there a game (by another studio) about “going postal”.

      I even saw a game trying to recreate the JFK headshot, but this is something they frown upon?

        It's about timing. If someone did this before he died, you wouldn't even hear about it in the news.

          JFK Reloaded was made to dispel conspiracy theories by simulating the assassination and grading each shot on how close it was to real life. The ballistics were advanced. It turns out it is a lot more fun to play when you shoot the drivers first, stopping the motorcade, and start shooting the sunglasses off the cops and the guns out of their hands. It's no Sniper Elite but you can really pump JFK's guts full of lead.

            He responded that the controversy was "understandable given the fact that many people were alive at that time and still have vivid memories of the event" but stated that JFK Reloaded neither condoned nor glorified the event.[3][20] In retrospect, Ewing said he regretted tying a cash prize to killing Kennedy, saying that he had been "naïve" and had "underestimated the deepness of affection for Kennedy held by many American people".[9]

            It sounds so fake, but wikipedia doesn't lie

              The mission can be seen in full here, though obviously you should consider carefully before clicking.

              Or what? I might see pixels from a video game.

              Except for the mission name and general concept of "roof, gun, tent, crowd" its quite the shit recreation honestly.

                "Disney took the popular comedian Jimmy Kimmel off-air after he joked about it,"

                No. Kimmel ragged on trump and maga but did not joke about kirk. Stop the gaslighting.

                    Capitalism. The rich owner types don't like this sort of thing, and they have a lot of power. They don't really have coherent values except "in-group to protect, out-group to bind" and "no one tells me what to do. i tell you what to do."

                              I didn't realize Bully came out ~20 years ago. Fuck. I can believe I'm saying this but, it really was a different time.

                                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.

                                  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.

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

                                        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.
