"Disney took the popular comedian Jimmy Kimmel off-air after he joked about it,"
No. Kimmel ragged on trump and maga but did not joke about kirk. Stop the gaslighting.

MODERATORS
Gaming "journalism," everyone.
Crazy how repeating a false narrative allows it to stick. That's why these ass clowns are always so quick to get in the first word and say shit like Renee Nicole Good was a domestic terrorist. Spouting bullshit is powerful.
The Big Lie is an old strategy that the Nazis used to great success, so not surprisingly, it has become the foundational strategy for MAGA as well.
One of the things we need to do in the future is to regulate political speech. Politics is just marketing for candidates, and advertising/marketing speech is regulated for truthfulness. If politicians decide to start spewing demonstrable lies, they need to held accountable, with fines, loss of access to the media, loss of the ability to run for office, and perhaps even prison time.
And we need to regulate the Conservative Propaganda Machine as a National Security Threat. You can responsibly oppose and criticize the government, but you can't deploy your media outlet to organize with others to help overthrow the government, or provide cover for the treason or government abuse of others. At that point, your media has become a weapon of sedition, and should be dealt with decisively.
PCGamer is officially off my reading list now.
Didn’t they literally make a game about bullying, also is there a game (by another studio) about “going postal”.
I even saw a game trying to recreate the JFK headshot, but this is something they frown upon?
It's about timing. If someone did this before he died, you wouldn't even hear about it in the news.
JFK Reloaded was made to dispel conspiracy theories by simulating the assassination and grading each shot on how close it was to real life. The ballistics were advanced. It turns out it is a lot more fun to play when you shoot the drivers first, stopping the motorcade, and start shooting the sunglasses off the cops and the guns out of their hands. It's no Sniper Elite but you can really pump JFK's guts full of lead.
He responded that the controversy was "understandable given the fact that many people were alive at that time and still have vivid memories of the event" but stated that JFK Reloaded neither condoned nor glorified the event.[3][20] In retrospect, Ewing said he regretted tying a cash prize to killing Kennedy, saying that he had been "naïve" and had "underestimated the deepness of affection for Kennedy held by many American people".[9]
It sounds so fake, but wikipedia doesn't lie
I wonder if he ever made a game about driving Lady Di off a road with papparazzi...
Capitalism. The rich owner types don't like this sort of thing, and they have a lot of power. They don't really have coherent values except "in-group to protect, out-group to bind" and "no one tells me what to do. i tell you what to do."
The Postal games faced bans and censorship. The ending of the original Postal was changed at one point. I believe all the Postal games were pulled from something at one point or another. JFK reloaded caused a huge amount of backlash and politicians and stuff denouncing the game. But these games don't have anything to do with Rockstar at all. So it's not really relevant to Rockstar not wanting a Charlie Kirk mission.
I didn't realize Bully came out ~20 years ago. Fuck. I can believe I'm saying this but, it really was a different time.
I avoided that game based on the name, but from what I gather, it was misleading; pretty much every sect of that school is full of jerks (sadly including the nerds, who often cater to their own victim complex), and your character is just facing the larger of them.
right wingers got mad when GTA made it by miami/la having crazy right wingers in it.
The mission can be seen in full here, though obviously you should consider carefully before clicking.
Or what? I might see pixels from a video game.

Except for the mission name and general concept of "roof, gun, tent, crowd" its quite the shit recreation honestly.
its quite the shit recreation honestly.
I'd be very surprised if he wanted to make it so accurate that you could use it in a documentary. It's probably a shitpost cobbled together in a few hours for himself and his buddies.
This reminds me more of the movie Vantage Point.
I loved that movie!
Lol yeah, just watched that clip, crowd was like 3 ppl lol. Not a high effort recreation.
Don't let this story distract from the far more important news of Rockstar firing 33 employees for forming a union, making up a flimsy excuse after the fact, and getting a judge to deny interim relief to the fired workers.
where can I piss on his grave? it'll have to make do until the orange window licker dies
Unknown. They wisely kept the burial details a secret.
really? even in findagrave?
Yup, deliberately hidden.
cowards
If these could be missions for Hitman, that would rock.
Karlie Chirk mission
So we should make Alex Jones and Stephen Miller missions to train people for the sequels?
Pussies.
Rockstar doesn't make games for you anymore; it makes what the wealthy elite want you to play.
remember when Postal did a parody of the Waco massacre?
Suppression is often countered with flooding tactics.
I haven’t played GTA in years. I guess you can make your own missions now? And this was a user created mission?
Too bad there's not an article that answers all of these things in the first paragraph.
Prove it. Post the article in the comments right here and now!
The article in the post you brain dead moron
Well, there goes the only legitimate reason to still play GTA online.
Not allowed to kill fascists in gta?
I am curious how into this they got, with the details of the killing being that the official story is untrue, patently on it's face impossible. That rifle was not what shot him at that range. The shooter presumably didn't disassemble that rifle into that litlle pack in 1 minute either.
If honest, the mission is to orchestrate a killing for israel's factions in the US, for them to make turning point into a nazi youth and both college and public school policer of thought and cataloguer of students and teachers, after kirk rejected that plan and the Israel back board member p(r)icks for his own guys with his own vision.
Most people would not want to be on their side though. What being nazis and all.
All those devs who got fired by those corps, might as well form their own collective and make a better game.
