A community is in shock as last night local student Ryan Dunham convinced a friend to hack off his arms. The 16 year old was inspired by a video game called 'Katawa Shoujo', which translates as 'Deformed Girls'. The game involves the player seducing a group of disabled high school students, one of which lacks arms, and having sex with them. Dunham's parents and schoolmates were understandably shocked by the bizarre incident, his mother saying "I don't know why Ryan decided to throw his life away over a stupid game, the people who make this junk should be ashamed".
Dunham's friend (name withheld by request) used a large woodcutting axe to deliver the blows and intended to sever both arms but panicked and called an ambulance after nearly severing Ryan's right arm. Ryan had knocked himself out by consuming a large quantity of alcohol earlier in the night, but he left a message on his computer explaining the reasons behind his choice and telling his parents that his friend was not to blame. The message was also posted on social networking websites Reddit and 4chan. Several Reddit users tried to raise the alarm and alert authorities but it was too late. Paramedics rushed Dunham to Brantford General Hospital but were unable to re-attach the partially severed arm and were forced to amputate it. A local police spokesperson said they are looking into the incident but does not expect they will file charges.
Katawa Shoujo is a 'visual novel', a new style of video game popular in Japan where a player reads the action instead of plays it. The game has caused quite a splash online after finally being released, it was in development for 5 years. The game was created by a group of amateur game designers and is available to anyone free of charge, regardless of age. This follows the controversy over another visual novel called 'Rapelay' which Taina Bien-Aime, Executive Director of Equality Now, called "An abomination," continuing to say "These type of games have no place in our society, we are working with community leaders and government to stop the spread of toxic games like Disability Girls (Katawa Shoujo)".[/quote]
His friend convinced him to do it.

That's just pathetic.
Why would his friend agree to such a thing?
The Wolf Tshirt completes this.
What is it about these games that attracts the crazies
It's funny, theres a guy on my steam friendlist who plays this game, he hasn't been on since last night haha
Stupid idiot.
Uhhhh, didn't a thread for this game pop up in the games forum recently?
Why but how WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT
Yeah blame the game :downs:
How is this even... what?
[QUOTE=Matrix374;34256257]Yeah blame the game :downs:[/QUOTE]
Who is blaming the game?
[QUOTE=Matrix374;34256257]Yeah blame the game :downs:[/QUOTE]
It's clearly the guy's mental issues that are the cause of this, I dont think that's in question by anyone but the mother.
not the creators of Katawa Shoujo's fault this guy was stupid enough to try and cut his arms off (or cut a limb off a tall)
only sympathy i have is towards the game devs. there's probably going to be some tension and hate towards them for this. i hope not.
So is this going to evolve into some creepypasta to replace [URL="http://creepypasta.wikia.com/wiki/Lavender_Town_Syndrome"]Lavender Town Syndrome[/URL]?
WHY
Who in his right mind would do something like that? I'm sorry but you need help if you take a [u][b]GAME[/b][/u] that seriously. The fuck is wrong with people.
[QUOTE=T2L_Goose;34256273]Who is blaming the game?[/QUOTE]
The article has quotes of some idiot stating that the game is the cause.
this won't be good for the game's rep
guess it's a good thing 4LS disbanded after releasing it
Why use an axe anyways, there has to be an easier way (not that I think that this was in any was a remotely good idea).
I love how the article tries to make the game look like a cripple rape simulator

I've never played it but I'm fairly sure the story is about the player trying to accept his newly disabled life :v:
I predict some creepypasta made about this game.

seems like they are to me
Welp, he just made his life a lot harder.
His friend should've stopped and asked if he's alright in the head, and if he should call some psychiatrist or something instead of starting to cut.

And as far as I've heard it's not even a dating sim :v:, it would be like calling a book where the protagonist gets in a relationship, a dating sim
He cut his arms off because of how stupid this game is
