Fox News: Destiny is "Corrupting Our Youth"
[quote]Since it's release in September of last year, the video game Destiny, Bungie's newest venture, has been extremely popular with people of all ages. Is this coincidence, a smash hit, or something more sinister from the legendary game designers?[/quote]
Skipping the boring part of the article and getting straight to the meat of it:
[quote]Perhaps Bungie's commercial success with the legendary Halo franchise has made them desperate to build up a larger and more dedicated fan base than newer rival 343 Industries, the part of the company that stayed with Microsoft, and the legendary franchise. This may have led to the questionable decisions by Bungie on gameplay and storyline that are affecting the unusually young audience (Brought in by the game's "Teen" rating from the ESRB) in a detrimental way, beyond the evils of a regular first person shooter.
The first way in which Destiny corrupts the youth of America is through the very idea of the main character, a member of an army blindly following a masked man called "The Speaker." Anyone who considers this at all sees the obvious real life parallel: Kim Jong Un and North Korea. This game teaches these young people to blindly follow a leader, possibly weakening their minds to North Korean propaganda.
A second risk caused by this game is an increase in suicide. In the game, a popular strategy is called "Wiping," where players agree to commit suicide (in game) to gain an advantage. This may desensitize children to the concept of suicide, as they respawn within a few seconds, actually better off than they were before. This teaches children that suicide is not only okay, but actually beneficial in some cases.
A final major issue is the introduction of a giant floating ball, called "The Traveller." Our expert researchers believe that this Traveller is designed to represent the Antichrist. It controls the Kim Jong Un-like Speaker, and leads them against an army of free people (Represented as inhuman monsters) in gory battles. It also grants them demonic powers, such as magical guns, knives, and other attacks. This evil magic should not be shown to the children of America, and should be treated as a serious threat to society. [/quote]

What do you guys think? I personally think Fox News is insane!
Please keep it clean and friendly. Last time I showed you guys this, some people got a little out of hand.
Edit: Alright, who bumped this?
-
It's ok, apparently it only affects the 'youth of America' so the rest of the world is fine.
-
Someone from Fox probably had a meltdown from being killed from all those thorns.. Scrubs
-
Who listens to Fox?.... we already know they are the most bias 'political' news station on the planet and are payed to say certain things.

Edited by The Chaz12b: 9/30/2015 11:57:06 PMI picked saw this coming. The media always blames whatever game is popular for some wacko teen that does something stupid. It's cyclic. When COD was the big kid on the block that was blamed for all teen violence. When WoW was big, it was blamed for every nut job loner for being, well, a lonely nut job. And all media outlets are the same, they blame crappy kids being crappy on whatever digital medium is popular at the time, and not the crappy parents of those kids. Edit: you got me good -blam!-er, you got me good :/
-
Oh Fox, you so silly.

Edited by Soja: 9/30/2015 11:46:29 PMThe last part of the article was on The Onion's level of ridiculousness. Wow. Edit: Ih, it's fake. I don't know if I should be relieved or mad.
