But they were! Okay, kinda. They picked a typographical symbol with a meaning and didn't expect people to flash on it?

Some white supremacists groups to put out games where the viewpoint characters kill Black people, Gay people, and Jews.

What is even happening?
Speaking as a Christian, I was horrified by what I read about the Left Behind game. The book series' eschatology is bad enough, but what I read about the game made me sick.

There I don't have to wonder. I know they hate me. I knew that the Left Behind people think I'm a heathen, but cannon fodder? Do they really want to do that to their image?

The Left Behind books aren't really about converting anyone, the books are written for "Real True Christians" who already believe this stuff. I know the book talks about people getting converted, but not really they just had to have someone who could be there and walk the readers through what would happen at the End Times.

I think this is exactly why the games didn't bother me much. I mean, on an intellectual/moral level, sure, but practically speaking, I prefer when the crazy leaks through to the outside.

I'm not usually the optimist, but did you really think they were...well, almost genocidal?

who have already been so disappointed by the books' movie spin-offs that they had their names removed from Peter Lalonde's flock of low-budget turkeys
There were movies? I know I'm nowhere in the neighborhood of their demographic, but I had no clue they'd actually bothered to produce movies.
re: 90s vs 90's--to me, who lives in a town where the streets are laid out on a numbered grid, 90s looks like 90 South at first glance. As for me and mine, I prefer 90's.

There were movies. Kirk Cameron stars in them. He's the "reporter" I think.
Not surprising that Kirk's in them since he went insane as soon as he was born again. In Growing Pains the actress who played his girlfriend was forced to leave because after Kirk became born again he didn't like that she posed for Playboy so she was fired.
