thats different, a LARP like that sounds better than say beating each other with PVC wrapped in ducttape. i remember some cracked article about a similar thing, companies that do cheap versions of "The Game"
I've been thinking about this as well, between this and Ted Lasso; there seems to be a massive dumbing down of pop culture. and i have a theory as to why; people whine about the DNC not doing any post-mortem after the 2016 election and i think what actually happened is that they did, but just never published the findings.
What they found out is that pop culture influenced the rise of trump, as referenced here
https://www.cracked.com/blog/6-reasons-trumps-rise-that-no-one-talks-about
Trump's rhetoric was just him saying the same shit they themselves have convinced people of for the last half century. Beyond that his persona really was that of an Anti-hero, he was the Dr.House of politics, he didn't have decorum but he did have the truth. Even his Queens swagger was only tolerated because MTV was shoving Run DMC down people's throats. "Wu-Tang/Trump IS FOR THE CHILDREN YKNOWWHATIMEAN"
And thats why pop culture has massively toned down the grey/grey morality or anti-hero hard-on it had a decade ago. We went from Thrawn to "Yo Momma" jokes. the EU doesn't matter for the same reason plot continuity doesn't matter on Ed,Edd,&Eddy.
Same reason the Book of Bob seems more childish than Rebels or Clone Wars. instead of having the entertainment that leads to questioning power and believing in the truth even if its coming from a dickhead. we have childrens tv for adults.
Again Ted Lasso wouldn't have been allowed on the fucking Disney channel back in 2007 without every comedian openly mocking it and saying the creator's children should be raped repeatedly. But now its the "best shoah evah" according to our child based culture.
Its also why the villians can't be villanous anymore, but have to be MoJojoJo-esque silly instead. our jew-media can't handle actual villians anymore so the goyim can't either. Remember the backlash to apocolpyse choking a woman (and making her cum) 6 years ago?
