Randall Herman, who promotes the "teachings of Jesus Christ" in his Christian shoe business now has a video game out called "Kill The Faggot."
Ars technica reports:
The game makes very clear that its goal is to shoot and kill gay people (with liberal use of the pejorative F-word in the game's title, at that). Players get points for killing gay people-more points if the person killed is transgender-and they lose points for any straight people they kill. It's hard to make a judgment call about the "most" offensive thing in this game, but we were particularly disturbed to hear the game's announcer celebrate a kill by saying, "AIDS carrier eliminated."
Randall Herman has ventured into the kill all gays business because the Book of Smite You Some Gays commands it in the GOP Bible.
Wonkette reports:
After the game was removed, Herman posted a perfectly reasonable explanation for why he created it:
"These people that think if you are even remotely homophobic, you are 'hateful' and a 'bigot,' and do everything they can to destroy you in every vicious way possible," Herman wrote. "So I decided to go down a path that most developers are afraid to go down: to piss these people off by making the most overly offensive game possible to these idiots to prove a point."

(54,058 posts)1. Sounds like Iran and the Holocaust cartoon contest rationale.
Sounds like something more than a few people might actually enjoy. Afraid of emerging from their basement cave in their parent's house, and leaving a Cheeto dust trail, it is much easier to play out their fantasies in a game created by a good, Christ-loving asshole.

It's a startling contrast to the reaction brought forth by far lesser insults to other minority groups.

this would bring an angry reaction from a large portion of DU. C'est la vie.
