Ah, I think I finally found an answer to this thread http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/18.393456-Where-are-all-these-stupid-people-that-supposedly-exist
Right there folks. But remember, they're just having a knee-jerk reaction to blow off their steam on something. Some of those people may be mad with sorrow and they're just looking for a scapegoat. This'll all blow over in a few weeks.

No it's not. People with less than no expertise on the subject are saying dumb things as usual to try to compress emotions and give meaning to a senseless act. Facebook posts do not equal "serious evidence" and you should feel bad for thinking they do.
Nah, I barely consider it a spoiler.Lonan said:
It's really out of context and all- I don't really know the circumstances surrounding this kid, so don't feel bad about it.
Mass Effect? Really? No, I just don't see it. There is nothing about that shooting that screams 'Mass Effect' to me. What do you have to say to that, evil interpretation of Shepard's character?
Evil Shepard: I didn't kill any kids OR blow my brains out. Those people are morons. I'm just an iconic figure of science fiction.
There you have it. There is nothing decidedly 'Massy' or 'Effecty' about this or 'main charactery' about it either.
EDIT: Okay, I'm looking into the 'stupid thread' now. Thanks for putting it up. Looks funny.

You know guys...I hear...right...I heard...he liked McDonald's too. It's obvious McDonald's is evil and satanic and motivated him to murder those children.
I'm sorry for the generalisation but get your shit together america.

To all of the imbeciles who, in their sleazy media fueled hysteria, jumped to the wrong conclusion on multiple levels and made dicks out of themselves in the process, I would like to thank you for proving without a shadow of a doubt that "sanity" is a very subjective term and that there are clearly, as your aggressive mob like behaviour demonstrates, many more Adam Lanzas hidden amongst us. Rationality, Logic and Reason are not the strong suits of most if not all of the people that posted on that page villifying a completely innocent game and its creators and then, in the face of being proven 100% wrong had the audacity to keep on with the facade and thus inflict more self humiliation. Darwin is rolling in his grave because of you.
Have a nice day.

Yeah... Mass Effect condones the death of children. You know, the same game where the main character spends the entire time wracked with guilt that he failed to save a child's life.
I cannot comprehend the blind stupidity of some people.
EDIT: Just read that article about Westboro saying they will "Sing praises to God" for "executing his judgement" on the children at the school. This is genuinely scary. It's not that big of a leap to go from saying you support massacring children in the name of god and going out and doing it yourself. I can't help feeling Westboro are only one over-zealous lunatic away from terrorism.

Silly cries from people with a 20th century mindset. The world has changed and they failed to notice.
Also, it's the U.S., the guns and paranoia capitol of the world.

This is the first thing that comes to my mind whenever stuff like this happens.
Bioware being Canadian makes this even funnier.

I don't know what I can possibly say to defend against a claim (or claims) this stupid that would get through to their paranoid (I think that's the term here) heads.
Ahem, let me try: GRUNT SMASH Dude GRUNT Was RAAR Insane SLAM...
Nah... I think I got nothing.
DuWIn is right up there with DuWaSt, but seriously, where did this even come from? Did the guy read that there was going to be another Mass Effect game so he did this? Was he so disappointed by the the ending (personally I thought it was alright) that he had to do this? What?
If you can't answer the above you have no right to attack Mass Effect or Bioware.
EDIT: I just realized that I heven't heard Call of Duty being blamed. You could make an arguement there. A flimsy one that will quickly die, but still better than Mass Effect.

all i have to say is fuck you Facebook people just fuck you SERIOUSLY 18/20 CHILDREN ARE DEAD god rests their souls AND YOU ARE BLAMING A FUCKING VIDEO GAME YOU FUCKING IDIOTS, NONE OF YOU WILL ESCAPE MY WRATH AND THEY WILL NEVER FIND YOUR BODIES i hope you later regard what you said.
You know what? I find this insulting to those who died. Blaming a game for such a thing with no basis and avoiding the elephant in the room about why this happened is despicable. I know that people find things to blame when grief stricken, but this...I don't even...
My condolences to the families involved and, all I can say is that this is a very, very, very black Christmas.
