This is a news article. Someone got paid to write it (or to get an AI to do it). This is the state of journalism in the west.
"actually be a true killer among us"
Absolute legend got one of the most prominent journals in the US to publish an Amongus joke.
Fuck me…the guy played computer games? Next we’ll be finding out he drank water or inhaled air.
We never really went past the 'Mortal Combat makes your children violent' rhetoric of the 80's and 90's

Hell yeah we're pulling out all the classics, it's 2003 again
