hello
- Write about a video game you played that shocked you with its violence, racism/cultural insensitivity, or misogyny. Identify the game and what bothered you about the experience. If you have never played a video game like this, you might write about a music video, song, or T.V. show that fits the bill.
- Consider why such games or media are made. How do these images or representations affect you personally? How might they affect your family or loved ones?
- Or is all of this just an excuse for deeper social problems in our society? Why or why not? How?
okay so i dont really play violent games in general because that's not really my taste
like my favorite game genre is maybe rpg or ones that involve story telling??? the only first person shooter that i play is overwatch and that's it i hate call of duty and counter strike but i do like halo because i have good memories playing that game with my family members on sunny cold saturday mornings oh my god im tearing up
but the most violent and graphic game ive seen/played is probably corpse party (nice title right lol)
it's a visual novel and the art style is anime so it's pretty weird but the actual gameplay is pixels like earthbound or whatever
and SPOILER WARNING!! the game revolves students who are about to leave elementary school or middle school and they are really good friends and after they graduate whatever grade they want to remain friends forever because when you're in school you want to do that of course its exciting and fun and makes a good story for your grandkids but yeah they do some dumb shit like oh i dont know making a paper doll that would either grant them friendship forever or subject them to eternal suffering and torment so yeah they aren't the sharpest tools in the shed but yeah it turns out that the paper doll doesn't work and they end up in the haunted school beneath their school and they start dying because all of the monsters and spirits there are wraiths aka angry ghosts and they kill the kids because thats what antagonists do
but really the game is really gorey with guts and blood and severed heads and intestines and ripping skulls apart like literally they cut some girls tongue out and one of their eyes and one boy's head gets it's top portion ripped off so its just his mouth and throat ughhghghg
i guess the game is appealing to people who like games about friendship and whatever like really besides all the killing and blood when i watched the final playthrough from this youtuber it was an ending that tied everything up but it was really sad because they had the choice of going back to the real world but if they did then the people who died in the haunted school would forever remain there and every memory that anyone ever had of said deceased person would be gone like they are wiped from existence but the kids who came back to the school were forever scarred and i guess their teacher is there too and she does stuff but a book shelf crushes her so she's benched for a large majority of the game before they rescue her
this game affects me because ew gore makes me sick
japanese games aren't really made for political or social reasons like they're all about inspiring people and having friendships and an excuse to draw but lets not sip that tea today :)
