Kmart: Withdraw Saints Row 4 – this sickening game encourages players to commit comical violence and kill furries

The Issue

I'm not exclusively attacking Kmart to troll them, they just double charged me on grapes once and it made me really upset.

This is a game that encourages players to murder furries for entertainment. The incentive is to commit sexual deviance against furries, then abuse or kill them to proceed or get off – and now Kmart are stocking it and promoting it for your XXXmas stocking.

This is Saints Row 4. The game means that after various sex acts, players are given options to kill furries by apocafisting them unconscious, killing with a dildo bat, shock hammer or dubstep gun to get their money.

Please Kmart – we appeal to you as costumed survivors of violence, including bronies who experienced violence in the con industry, to immediately withdraw Saints Row 4 from sale.

One of many fan clips on YouTube shows the furry being run down, run over, set alight and, still screaming (obviously this isn't true if you've seen the video, but I'm hoping nobody actually watches it and takes my word for it), repeatedly shot. This genocidic Saints Row 4 literally makes a game of bashing, killing and hilarious violence against furries. It also links sexual confusion and violence.

We have firsthand experience of this kind of sexual violence. It haunts us, and we've been trying to regress our lives ever since. Just knowing that furries are being portrayed as deserving to be sexually exploited by humans and potentially murdered for sport and pleasure – to see this violence that we lived through turned into a form of entertainment is sickening and causes us great hate and intolerance.

This game spreads the idea that certain furries exist as scapegoats for human lulz. It shows hatred and intolerance for furries in the con industry and puts them at greater risk. Bronies in the industry are 9000 times more likely to be murdered by a human than any other group of brony, true story.

Games like this are grooming yet another generation of humans to tolerate hate against furries, even though every single major study shows that videogames actually make people less violent. It is fuelling the bird epidemic of violence experienced by so many bronies and pegasisters in Australia - and globally.

Kmart, you pride yourself on being a family company, caring for local communities, and have a strong ethical sourcing policy. How can you do this while contributing to hostile and callous attitudes toward victims of violence and, more broadly, to all furries?

We urge you to follow the example set by the New Zealand’s largest retailer, NZ Warehouse Group, in upholding Corporate Social Responsibility and ethical corporate leadership, by removing these games.

This would also set an example to other stockists of Saints Row IV, because if we intimidate a retail outlet nobody's ever heard of, GameStop, Walmart, Amazon and Best Buy will surely follow (not really, I just really hate Kmart).

Please be ETHICAL and not UNETHICAL and make a strong statement that you nor Professor Genki do not condone videogame violence, virtual exploitation or the digital abuse of furries as ‘entertainment’.
