VIDEO: Portal 2 is supposedly insensitive to orphans

Matt Hawkins Contributing Writer, Video Games

A family unit has been forever torn asunder due to an innocent father and daughter Portal 2 session due to what the big bad robot had to say. Seriously.

Easily my favorite line from the overly sensitive dad has to be “[the game] said rated E for everyone… except for orphans.” LOL. And of course, the news station conveniently isolated Wheatley’s insulting dialogue without showing any of the accompanying dialogue from GLaDOS, rendering a part of the game completely out of context. But hey, it’s the 11:00 news, why should the details matter? BTW, $20 says that the girl wasn’t actually upset and simply asked a question, and parents today basically freak out whenever they have to… you know… act like a parent and answer serious questions that their kids pose them.

I also don’t get why the newscasters fail to point out that Wheatley makes fun of fat people as well. Sorry, but that’s still acceptable by societal standards (for the record, I as little beef with fat jokes as I do with adoption jokes; everything and everyone should be fair game). But again, that would require paying attention, and simply scour YouTube for plenty of examples that demonstrates the general ineptness and level of retardation that most anchors display (the movie Anchorman also does a fine job & is probably on TBS this very second).

Not surprisingly, the response the story has gotten has been somewhat in the negative…

… Again, more people saying words without even knowing what it actually means (along with lots of needless fatial ticks and other mannerisms). Unfortunately no response were received (or at least read) that helped to perpetuate the negative gamer stereotype. Would have loved to see Brigida Mack try and pronounce “lulz”.

What'd you think of this?
