Petition to remove the bible from target - origin

So, just got a message from reno about it, thinking it's stupid. Figured I'd post the origin here, just so you're all aware on what hilarious, and stupid shit is happening in the world of australia right nya.

So, target has decided to remove gta5 from their shelves, as it 'promotes violence against women' Despite there being no times where you're forced to do such things, and despite the hundreds of thousands of times you're promoted to kill men.

Following the petition that got them to do that, some people decided it would be hilarious to try the same thing for the bible, as, it actually does contain violence against women, and mass brutality.
So far, it's hit 31thousand likes.

just figured I'd let you 'murifags in on the sitch, so you know the story (if you didn't already, which you probably would have), and can laff at targets stupidity as well

>buying games at target
>not online
Yeah. Target sucks anyways.

Australian Target and some other New Zealand brand store were the ones to do this.

Target is a business who can sell what they want(as long as it's legal) and refuse to sell what they don't. My only problem with this whole situation was that the reasoning behind it being removed was based on outright lies.

There's a fairly well argued video by TB on this.

I think I got my copy from Target last year or something. Enjoy the series personally. I treat everyone equally in that game by killing everyone in my path and fucking with the cops.

Only people that get pissed off over shit like this are parents and people with way too much time on their hands. Basically stop giving your 8 year olds this crap and go after people that actually hurt women because not everyone playing these games is going to fuck over women/mass murder.

I totally forgot australia's moral advocates are FUCKING WHORES. Shut your traps and open your legs you fucking slags.

Sometimes I really hate this world we live in and the people that breathe the same Oxygen as me.

I'm surprised Target gave into pressure and took the game off the shelves. Its their loss since its popular. It'd be funny if they took the bible petition seriously.

I'm a nudist and clothes offend me.
Gonna start a petition for Target to stop selling cloths.

I'm also a robot and don't eat or like food so no food for sale either.

Most of us buy shit online now

its the principle of the thing.

I really hope they can get the bible taken off the shelves. While I doubt it will happen, I can appreciate the effort made to prove a point.

You gotta remember this is Australia we're talking about here. It sucks to buy games there in general. Not only are a lot of games censored but even digital games cost more there.

That does not change the fact that what Target has done is pretty much idiotic in nature, regardless of how shit Australia is for gamers.

We should be doing this in every country where the government censors other stuff.

Ah, religion. Getting a free pass on most things... Good on the petition, I say. While I don't know if anything will happen, it'll be hilarious if the bible actually gets taken down from the shelves.

35k supporters. lol

And I remember using a prostitute long time ago in first GTA game. So as soon as the car started to shake.

I looked inside the windows to see the action.

Both characters was sitting there doing nothing.

I realize I just got ripped off hardcore.

After car stopped shaking.

I shot the prostitute for lying to me about having sex with muh character and got muh money back.

I never used gta prostitutes ever again.

Good thing I work at a murrican' Target.

After watching this video, it occurred to me that perhaps the reason some peeps are so anally convinced that violent video games = violence in real life is because they themselves act out the things they read/see/play from the their media of choice.
Kinda like the same way some religious folks become extremists after consuming much of their religious literature to the point that not only do they take it way too seriously but then try to act out upon it and finally trying to mold the world to their worldview. I think it might be the same with these SJW. It could be that the root cause for this discussion to pop up every goddamn year be simple be due to their inability to differentiate fiction from reality. They assume that just because they act out upon it then others must as well. So, in the end it is really the SJW having a severe case of projection.

Well from my point of view all they are doing is helping those who don't buy online or from a game-centric retailer to do so. So all they are doing is hurting what little gaming business they had in the first place.

Not really. They are sending all the people that would have bought the game off them to eb games or dicksmith or jb hifi.

I Actually think the bible one will get taken seriously, and will happen. I mean, if gta got taken down for having something it didn't have, the bible should sure as hell get removed for actually having it.
But, no doubt they'll make excuses, and those excuses will be exactly what the sjw's are trying to say are horrible excuses for gta. So, as per usual, sjw's will be hypocrites again.
And, should it actually fail, the reasons above will be why, and then, we'll wonder why gta5 got taken down, and somebody will make them bring it back, because the bible never got removed, despite it actually having said violence, and encouraging said violence, despite gta not even remotely encouraging it.


Should turn into an interesting battle
