Stupidest Conversation In History of Games Begins

Designer Says All Games Hurt People, Remains Oddly Silent on Whether Lying About Rape Does

Noted loser and game designer Ben Lehman, best known for fabricating accusations about sexual violence in order to attack fellow designer-loser James "argues with spambots" Desborough began a conversation yesterday on Google Plus by claiming that all games are dangerous.

"Most art harms people, one way or another," claimed the rape-threat-faker "Games often harm their own audience, by giving them artificial desires and then frustrating those desires, or setting friends in competition against each other."

As the discussion progressed, Lehman provided both compelling evidence of his idea and a window into the disfunctional environment his own game design work spews forth from: "For personal example: my experience of Settlers of Catan is that it does real lasting harm to the friendships of people who play it. "

Thus far, Lehman's friends--best known for continuing to read Lehman and sometimes giving him money even after he proved himself to be either a frightening sociopath or a vindictive scam artist--responded by treating the post as if it was not a terrifying cry for help from a damaged mind.

  1. Ha! It's great to have you back. These articles are hilarious when you think they are satire. Then you click on the links and realize that some people say these things in all earnestness and the situation becomes so sad that all one can do is laugh.

  4. Do you understand there's a 12 word sentence you can tell your crush... that will trigger intense feelings of love and impulsive appeal to you deep inside his heart?

    That's because hidden in these 12 words is a "secret signal" that triggers a man's impulse to love, treasure and guard you with his entire heart...

    12 Words Will Fuel A Man's Love Instinct

    This impulse is so hardwired into a man's brain that it will drive him to try harder than ever before to love and admire you.

    In fact, triggering this all-powerful impulse is so essential to getting the best ever relationship with your man that the moment you send your man a "Secret Signal"...

    ...You will immediately find him expose his heart and soul to you in such a way he haven't experienced before and he will distinguish you as the only woman in the galaxy who has ever truly attracted him.
