      Nah. Can't agree with this stance. It's a game. Games are about dicking around. It's just a sandpit. I shot up a camp site the other day in RDR2, threw the bodies on the campfire then piled them up and left predator bait beside them hoping alligators would come for the bodies.

          The idea that killing one particular npc character in a game makes you a bad person is baffling to me. It's all pixels and code. If this was multiplayer and that was a real player that others were picking on, sure... that'd be different. This is someone arsing about for "lulz"

          It reminds me of the Fem Freq argument that Hitman is a vile sexist game because you could drag around bodies of strippers and throw them off cliffs etc.. The fact you can do that to ANY npc in the game was overlooked or handwaved away. It's just a game.

          I’m for critiques of violence, but it’s weird that some critics don’t seem to care about violence outside of certain cases.

          I'm all for them as well. But this is just... nonsense.

          It's more about what the NPC represents and the reaction to it. It wouldn't have the same reaction at all if it was just a random NPC. In that sense, a statement is being made that is not just about random video game violence

          Caveat: my original scum comment was aimed at the people posting disgusting sentiments in the comments of those videos. Genuinely angry, hateful towards woman

          Well, and obviously the YouTuber for the way he framed his videos.
