"actually be a true killer among us"

Absolute legend got one of the most prominent journals in the US to publish an Amongus joke.

Fuck me…the guy played computer games? Next we’ll be finding out he drank water or inhaled air.

We never really went past the 'Mortal Combat makes your children violent' rhetoric of the 80's and 90's

I was more commenting on the newspaper going to print with the obvious amogus joke but yes that too

The thing about this case is that it's going to be particularly resistant to any kind of spin because it'd be one thing if he shot up a school but 1) it looks like he himself was a victim of the medical insurance industry like so many others and 2) he got his target and there was no collateral damage (thankfully), so he's already become a sympathetic folk hero in the eyes of the public. Real society moment

The hacker known as Innersloth is brainwashing the college children into becoming violent sussy bakas.

They played a game called "Four Square" where the strategy was to get the other players "out". Luigi was reported to have said "I'd like to get CEO Brian Thompson OUT if you know what I mean", then winked and made the Brace Belden Noise

You’ve gotta be kidding me. These assholes will never give up on trying to shift blame onto video games for violent crime.

This is a news article. Someone got paid to write it (or to get an AI to do it). This is the state of journalism in the west.

Waiting for AmongUs devs to make a public apology for training IRL assassins
