Does anyone remember Super Columbine Massacre RPG? The guy who made it has been banned from a university where he once taught:

Super Columbine Massacre RPG! developer Danny Ledonne is back in the news after being banned from Adams State University last month by the campus police department for, among other things, having "created a post-Columbine video game that recreates the horror of the Columbine HS shooting."

According the article, the justifications for banning him include both creating SCMRPG and distruptive behavior that is not related to the game.

Wait you're saying the kind of edgelord who would make a game about columbine is also a jackass unable to act like a normal human in real society? Say it ain't so Joe!

I remember the shitstorm that game caused when it came out. Good times.

Wasn't that game, like, made 10 or so years ago? Why ban him now?

I've got two possible ideas, and both are because the school(s) in question would be damned in either case.

1. Its an easy bone to throw to students who as of late are quick to complain that their administrations are apathetic to their concerns. If they didn't, I could see a worse shitstorm forming.

2. Regardless of artistic merit, letting him onto campuses could be seen as possibly encouraging or condoning mass shootings. Even if he isn't; video games are new media, and new media cannot possibly be used for good. Best just ban him now.

Funny how he was banned for the game and not because he was allegedly trespassing.

That's not really the reason they banned him, even though that's what the news stories focused on. The letter explaining why he was banned lists a bunch of reasons. They led with the school massacre thing because hey, if you have that, why not use it?

But apparently, he got buttmad about being fired or not being retained, or some other hiring decision about him, and went around sperging about it to people who didn't want to be bothered, until the complaints added up.

Think of him as Chris-Chan at the GAMe PLACe but he also made a game about shooting up a school.

This gives the basic gist of it.

Fact: Mr. Ledonne took his protest to former President Svaldi in mid-2015 and again dissatisfied with the university's decision not to hire him, began to harass members of the Svaldi family on social media sites.

Fact: ASU seated our current President McClure, and true to his form, Ledonne sought a new audience with Dr. McClure to vocalize his displeasure, additionally filing a second complaint with the new ASU EEOC investigator.

Again, no wrongdoing was found in the decision not to hire Ledonne and again Ledonne could not accept the simple decision that was made not to hire him.

Fact: On October 14th, 2015 Ledonne withdrew, on his own accord, to participate in the upcoming film festival here at ASU, severing his last and only tie to the ASU campus community. As a result of his withdrawal from our campus community, coupled with his continued irrational behavior I served Ledonne a trespass warning, banning him from our campus and campus activities.

So basically, he just kept acting more and more spergy and harassing people about shit, and then pulled out of the last thing that gave him any legitimate reason to be on campus, so they told him to fuck off.
