French Game: Kill as many gay people as possible

This game had previously been banned by facebook but is now available in the Google play store:

http://www.pinknews.co.uk/2014/11/24/google-play-sells-game-in-which-users-have-to-kill-as-many-gays-as-possible/

There were calls for this game to be banned in France, and yet Google are currently allowing it to be downloaded.

I realise I'm bringing attention to the game, but, it is crazy to me that this was even developed, and for me it's the sort of thing that is almost dangerous...

    The scary thing is, there will be people who will call for this to remain on Google Play under some twisted version of "freedom of expression" or "opinion".

    Of course it needs to be pulled and pulled ASAP. Yes it's "only a game" but you can bet your bottom dollar that if a similar game existed about any religious organisation that it wouldn't last a day.

    Unless it was someone else's religion then that's fine and they should get over it if it was their own then it's needs banning as it's vile sick and twisted.

    Two posts into a thread that has nothing to do with religion and already we're talking about religion!

    Only on DS! :D

    Bloody hell! That's horrendous. Not only should the game be pulled immediately, surely there's an argument that the makers should be prosecuted.

    TBF it goes without saying the game should be banned but then a lot of people would disagree and call it the nanny state and PC Brigade (How many posts before those terms are used in favour of the game) and I should be able to play what I want to play

    Still nothing to do with religion though.

    It's hardly something Google would want to be associated with so I'm not surprised if it already has, or will soon disappear.

    I see there's one commenter in the link (so far) who can't help but be completely childish and immature.

    Edit: The game developer must obviously be very homophobic.

    No it isn't but I think it's actually a valid comparison in this case. I know the anti-religion crowd do generally tie themselves in knots trying to create the usual anti religion/Islam nonsense out of nothing, but I do think it's valid here. obviously IMVHO :)

    I find it weird nobody has told us the title, so searching is annoying. Trying to find so i can flag as inappropriate.

    BUT IV'E GOT NO IDEA WHAT TO LOOK FOR.

    "The game requires users to shoot at gay men in order to avoid being sexually attacked."

    How absolutely bizarre.

    It's only a game. It is no more likely to make a person go on a killing spree than Grand Theft Auto or Call Of Duty.

    We have become far too precious about the content of video games.

    Makes a change from killing zombies to avoid having your brains eaten.

    No, we have become too mush-brained by video games to realise what we are doing.

    When I say "we", I really mean gamers, as I am not one.

    Indeed. Not sure why people are getting themselves all upset about this. You're not supposed to take prostitutes out into the middle of nowhere before stabbing them to death and burning their corpses, but I do on GTA 5, because it's childishly funny.

    That's nonsense. A healthy mind is not going to be brainwashed by video games. Someone who is not predisposed to violence will not become violent just because they play violent games.

    I'm a gamer and I can tell what reality is thank you very much. I have played the likes of GTA and Resident Evil and never paid for a hooker, stolen a car, taken drugs, killed a zombie or found stashes of bullets lying around.

    It is weird, but then again we've been killing straight people for years in video games. Might be about time us gays got a bit of a killing in games too.
