New Zealand authorities have banned a mass shooting FPS which draws inspiration from the terrorist attacks on mosques in Christchurch this March, declaring The Shitposter a “terrorist publication”. Chief censor David Shanks called it “a product created for and marketed to white supremacists who are interested in supporting and celebrating white extremist attacks.”
We’d so far ignored this the game because it’s a tedious attempt by developers 2Genderz Productions to profit from controversy. It’s a familiar one too, I say having received too many e-mails from the creator of their first game. They tried to get coverage for that by adopting stances from ‘it’s parody’ and ‘actually this is opposing neo-Nazis’ to ‘hello I’m a concerned citizen writing to you about a scandalous video game have you seen this scandal?’ Tedious.
