From the article:

Google has confirmed that it will remove a game uploaded to its Play store, in which users are instructed to kill as many gay people as possible.

The game was previously banned by Facebook, which said it broke the terms and conditions of the site.

1. Un fucking believable!

That in now way is even possible to be considered free speech protected by the 1st Amendment.

That is nothing but HATE! And whoever made that game should be prosecuted.

2. The first time I saw that game was about a decade ago...

...when I followed a link from a game that folks were playing on another forum, "Border Patrol", in which the player tries to shoot as many men, women and children (labeled "wetbacks&quot as they can crossing the border.

When I followed the link, it took me to the "racist games" page of Tom Metzger's White Aryan Resistance (WAR) website. The page had several other games, including the game in the OP, as well as a game in which you could play a guard in a Nazi Concentration Camp, and other games where you could shoot Black folks.

The folks at that other forum who were busy bragging about how many "wetbacks" they had killed were unconcerned with the source of the game they enjoyed so much.

5. One wonders why an anti-gay game is called "Ass Hunters." Sounds more like porn to me. n/t
