Or rather, a joke about the shooting spree. Poor taste, guys. Knock it off. 

[suicidal_dorf]

Craaaaaaaaaaaaaap.

 No mention of Dwarf Fortress. The guy merely has an avatar nobody recognizes but us.

[Jude]

I just now saw that.
WTF?!

[KaelGotDwarves]

I saw it here awhile ago...http://www.action-team.us/krautchan-winnenden-hoax/

Ok. Screwed up priorities.

One sick guy kills 15 people. "Oh my god, how could he!"

30'000 people starve each day. "Oh, whatever."

Yeah, but one is "natural" while the other is "unnatural".  Thus, one just feels more wrong than the other.  Hooray for intuitionist moral judgments!

It's a chan board. They don't have "avatars".


But yeah, photoshopped death threat with a DF reference in it. Kind of amusing, kind of horrible.

Can someone translate this?

Forget the above, translate this one.

AHA! There's several DF images.

Gentlemen, it is now obvious that video games make children violent, even violent enough to violently kill. For example, in the game Dorreef Fortarrest, you take charge of a maniac dwarf whose job it is to remove limbs. The coveted "The head flies off in a bloody arc!" achievement can be only earned on infants while their mother still holds them.

The creator of this game, a multimillion dollar funded studio with over 300 employees, is being investigated.

For every quite horrible event there is an even more horrible attempt to blame something besides the person.

People starving to death is natural?

[G-Flex]

I think he was being sarcastic. Obviously, if people are starving to death due to the actions of others, that's not "natural" in the sense you're thinking.

Yeah it looks like that he was playing with DF. Even if that's true, so what? 

[Lemnx]

This case was DIRECT ACTION. Starving to death is INDIRECT ACTION or INACTION. A person can help starving to death, and others can help them, even if a little. A person can't help being shot to death and another person can't help them, ignoring prevention and medical help. Well that's... uhh.. maybe... er... Maybe not....


Forget it =p I realized my thoughts were probably WAY too over simple to be true as an effective self defending point.

So, how do people not starve to death due to actions of others?
