The Anti-Spore
So today, while on Kotaku I was lead to a very interesting site called Anti-Spore. And I must say that I LAUGHED my ass off. I mean seriously to think that someone actually believes the shit that is being spewed on this site. I mean I have read a lot of propaganda and garbage in my time but this seriously takes the cake. Honestly any idiot who actually thinks that EA, and Maxis, are using this game to attack christian values is just... well shit. And this individual is not even posting anything worth while. They are, for the most part, posting random comments about spore.
Let us take a look at some of these comments shall we? So let us start off with the very first post on September 08, 2008, one day after the US release. So let me start off by saying where the fuck has this individual been? Spore has been in development for what 3 years now? Come on, seriously... I am just speechless. Anyway the post is entitle Spore is NOT for Everyone. Well this is apparently true it seems closed-minded idiots are not taken into account when giving the game a rating. But what this individual fails to understand is that these ratings are given out based on the game play and story. Forgive the almighty ESRB for not looking for hidden agendas. Anyway, first off we have the individual claiming that the point of the game is to teach children evolution over creationism. Are you fucking serious individual? It is just using a... ummm well I guess fictional idea, in your world, to make a video game. What is so wrong with that, it makes for an interesting game. The individuals who came up with the idea were looking to make a break through game, so they borrowed an idea. Next this individual goes on say that the point of the game is to create demon creatures and send them into space. OOOOOO HOLY SHIT!!!! You mean to tell me that humans are the only form of life in existence? Well that is certainly boring as hell. Come on let people have some creativity. Trust me if you really wanted to you could make a human in that game. And finally the entry is closed with something about concerned parents. Seriously... I am just left speechless. What kind of horrible parent cannot make sure their kid knows right from wrong? If a child starts to believe in evolution because of this game... well that child is misinformed. It is just as bad as picking up a book reading and taking it as the absolute truth.
The next entry that catches my attention is the one entitled The Evil Man Behind it all Will Wright. To be honest I am surprised this individual loves Sim City after all REAL Christians are not a fan of the idea of man being allowed to be god. Plus Sim City is a far more violent game where you can massacre people. Yet this game is praised, and why? Because a randomized event that is designed to make the game more interesting kicks in. But the end all be all is Will Wrights choice of religion. That is it, that is this individual's coup de grace. You could not bring up the fact that in Sim City you build a city with millions of people and then kill them all? What about in The Sims where you can kill individuals in what might be considered painful ways? Or the fact that in The Sims you can watch people bath or go to the bathroom. I mean you can force the game to remove the little sensor bar, is that not more immoral than just being in a different sect of your religion?
Now onto one of this individual's smaller entries, EA Stock is Down The very notion that this individual think that his or her crappy little 3 day old blog helped bring down the stock just shows how stupid this person is.
