The Final Exam is a harsh recreation of the horrors of school shootings, and a call to do something about it.

    The urge to troll?

        Well no, I didn’t give it much thought it’s a comment on lemmy, not a manifesto.

        Creating a school shooter sim may be easy, but modding a political “game” built to highlight the horror of school shooting into something “funny” that reverses its premise entirely will make a headline.

          If people are letting hypothetical trolls control their actions then the trolls already won and they don’t even exist.

              You’re suggesting it would be unwise to make a game to spread awareness about school shooters and gun control because people might make distasteful modifications of it where you play as a school shooter. That’s what I mean by hypothetical trolls.

                I am not suggesting any of that.
