[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]

Edited by Hyperion: 9/6/2015 2:20:43 PMDafuq did I just read? Fox News isn't real news. They'll talk to anyone willing to listen. But if a kid is dumb enough to commit suicide, let them. One less idiot in the world I say.
-
"Our expert researchers" i would like to meet them

Fox news corrupts our youth. They live in their own bubble of "truth" and highly contribute to the bliss and ignorance that the American society has come to be known for.

Looks like the soccer moms are getting bored and coming after video games again. Get over your lunacy. The way we are bringing kids up now is to feel like the world should be in black and white because anything of color might offend someone or make someone feel emotion and that emotion might be anger and that person might just use that anger to hurt or offend someone. Let's get rid of all the art and everything that might spark emotion and put xanex in the water system. That way no one will have to deal with their own problems.

Hahah follow North Korean propaganda hahaha -blam!-ing fox thats cute try just try
