re: #7 blueraven

The right and Fox may have overreacted, and the game has nothing to do with Hoffa. That said, it is a stupid game and not helpful at all.

Right, it’s a private citizen, who doesn’t seem to be associated with some larger political org, making an irresponsible bit of partisan media. It doesn’t reflect on anyone except that individual. Indie devs do this sort of thing daily, and of course so do lots of other private citizens creating partisan or fringe content in other mediums (YouTube videos, Photoshops, etc). It’s just what you get at the nexus of modern technology, the internet & freedom of expression (obviously there’s no requirement that a private citizen’s speech be responsible speech, or particularly worthwhile for that matter).

Does Fox really want the standard to be that every stupid bit of disturbing partisan media becomes a national story and that it needs to be denounced? I mean there’s literally thousands of crazy partisan YouTube videos, racist & violent blog comments, disturbing Photoshops, creepy fanfics starring politicians, etc, created daily and if they’re all going to be covered there won’t be time for any other news.
