CEO probably cheated when he played Monopoly too.
Fact: %100 of serial killers have drank water.
If we ban water for everyone, we can stop serial killers for once and all.
What about just banning dihydrogen monoxide? That stuff kills 100% of those who consume it and is, like, everywhere!
It's used in everything from pesticides to baby formula... when are people going to wake up to the dangers it poses?

I've heard that almost all meth addicts have tried sugar first
I heard that it is in all things we drink! Beer, juice, milk, and even water!

That's taking it too far. To beat the bad guy with water we just need good guys with water.
Hydrohomies activate!

Lots of people played Among Us and haven't killed a CEO.
Yet.
On the other hand, every person who has killed a United Healthcare CEO has played Among US, checkmate.

Kinda sus...
woke: doom inspires acts of violence
broke: call of duty inspires acts of violence
bespoke: among us inspires acts of violence
When I was a kid, we played pacman. A literal puck who eats pixels and takes turns chasing ghosts. We turned out fine.
It's not like that's what caused us to go to rave parties, listen to beepy music and pop ecstacy pills.
Speak for yourself.
WAKA-WAKA-WAKA-WAKA
I saw that same T-Shirt at the mall in 2001.
When I was a kid, I played Civ 3... so I guess, according to cable news, I'd be seen as a genocidal maniac on par with Hitler.
Funny you should mention that, the UHC killer killed 300 bugs in civ iv during his internship with the dev according to his resume.
Expect a knock on your door from the FBI tonight
BITCH I’M EATING A GHOST RIGHT NOW

Funny, how much hand wringing is going on in the sweaty mainstream media about a guy who merely put down a vicious oligarchy-loving killer. You'd get the impression that media moguls are worried that they're next.

It's a sign of the time that we're living in. When people find joy in the death of others in a society, the quality of living is exceptionally bad. It's reminiscent of Rome too where the last years of their society were filled with chaos

Assuming he actually did it
Did prosecutors seriously talk about among us like it is this game that only psychos play? The game is fun! In fact I think I am gonna play it tonight!
I played with coworkers during COVID because we needed something to keep us sane.
I don't play the game very often, but it is a fun game. Even more fun when I am the imposter! Normally I get assigned the boring task as being a regular deck hand.

Ah yes, the continued trend of the media in the US to shit on gaming as the ills of society's problems, because someone up the chain is scared it makes more than Hollywood slop
He also worked on Civilization as an intern and had a Steam account
Obviously he loves old timey steam trains!
That means that anyone who played Among Us is capable of killing a CEO.
Just saying...
(BTW, they're blocking images with his name in it. what's up with that)
Did you know every murderer has been human? Which is why people being afraid of aliens doesn't make any sense. Aliens have never killed anyone, but humans have killed a lot of people.
From The Three-Body Problem by Cixin Liu:
Later, other Adventists based their hatred of the human race on other foundations, not limited to issues such as the environment or warfare. Some raised their hatred to very abstract, philosophical levels. Unlike how they would be imagined later, most of them were realists, and did not place too much hope in the alien civilization they served either. Their betrayal was based only on their despair and hatred of the human race. Mike Evans gave the Adventists their motto: We don’t know what extraterrestrial civilization is like, but we know humanity.

Anyone else remember bowling for Columbine?
No?
Alright.
The article reads like regular internet bad behavior.
there is rarely a single story everyone is talking about and where it is impossible to hold anyone’s attention for more than a few minutes at a time…
Exactly what the press contributes to.
Goes on to suggest digging through old accounts, maybe finding the right person of interest, making stuff up based on what you find, then harassing people associated with the person.
But that’s ok, because it’s “journalism.”
"technology"
I played the game of Clue a couple of times. That too is a murder simulator and "how to cover your tracks" game.
