[quote]Since it's release in September of last year, the video game Destiny, Bungie's newest venture, has been extremely popular with people of all ages. Is this coincidence, a smash hit, or something more sinister from the legendary game designers?[/quote]
Skipping the boring part of the article and getting straight to the meat of it:
[quote]Perhaps Bungie's commercial success with the legendary Halo franchise has made them desperate to build up a larger and more dedicated fan base than newer rival 343 Industries, the part of the company that stayed with Microsoft, and the legendary franchise. This may have led to the questionable decisions by Bungie on gameplay and storyline that are affecting the unusually young audience (Brought in by the game's "Teen" rating from the ESRB) in a detrimental way, beyond the evils of a regular first person shooter.
The first way in which Destiny corrupts the youth of America is through the very idea of the main character, a member of an army blindly following a masked man called "The Speaker." Anyone who considers this at all sees the obvious real life parallel: Kim Jong Un and North Korea. This game teaches these young people to blindly follow a leader, possibly weakening their minds to North Korean propaganda.
A second risk caused by this game is an increase in suicide. In the game, a popular strategy is called "Wiping," where players agree to commit suicide (in game) to gain an advantage. This may desensitize children to the concept of suicide, as they respawn within a few seconds, actually better off than they were before. This teaches children that suicide is not only okay, but actually beneficial in some cases.
A final major issue is the introduction of a giant floating ball, called "The Traveller." Our expert researchers believe that this Traveller is designed to represent the Antichrist. It controls the Kim Jong Un-like Speaker, and leads them against an army of free people (Represented as inhuman monsters) in gory battles. It also grants them demonic powers, such as magical guns, knives, and other attacks. This evil magic should not be shown to the children of America, and should be treated as a serious threat to society. [/quote]

Please keep it clean and friendly. Last time I showed you guys this, some people got a little out of hand.

Edited by Fenderslasher: 7/20/2015 10:01:03 AMThe people who subscribe to these biased forms of literature already believe this shit anyways, who gives a -blam!-? They are within their own right to paint this adventure however they wish. All media is filtered through a few major ownership companies such as Disney. Also, most CEOs that serve on the boards of these companies also work in some cooperative manner to the "competition" and basically use this unofficial monopoly to build a singular agenda. These different media outlets such as Fox may offer dissenting opinions...usually with a similar goal in mind; usually to advertise something or generate conflict with predesigned "sides" that many people may join for whatever pointless effect. For example, remember when the media played it up that Grand Theft Auto was all evil and full of "subliminal messaging" that would entice you to commit murder and mayhem? It has since been discovered without any amount of surprise that Rockstar Games paid to have this enter the media as a major issue of discussion with the primary purpose of raising conflicting discussion and ultimately drive a massive amount of engineered ADVERTISING. The guys who wrote this have an imagination to rival Bungie's own. Those of us who actually play the game and don't subscribe to its possible "corrupting devilry" know that this game is so hollow that none of us give a -blam!- about the speaker or anything he has to say about anything ever (basically a politician).and the armies of darkness are an innocent free people? Whatever... Ok so maybe we go along with the sliver of story we are givin and we assume that these are bad guys and we should defend ourselves fittingly, is that so bad? Sounds like "stand your own ground". That's the least I'd expect from a heavily conservative company that is rooted in racism and bigotry and commonly depicts American citizens who share a different sexual orientation or racial background as a lesser form of people. -blam!- FOX
