Actually I've been wondering if a PR agency has been running a huge campaign against Pokemon Go. There were a bunch of articles last week:
- People sent to churches and graveyards
- One person found a dead body while playing
- Someone supposedly had an accident while playing in the car
- One black person pointing he couldn't play the game safely as it would be dangerous to wander around aimlessly as a black guy in the city
- A bunch of inappropriate places like strip clubs were included
This seems to me like the next candidate for overblown, unjustified outrage. Like D&D in the 80s, or Google Glass recently. I'm just waiting for Moms Against Pokemon Go.
- saddestcatever 10y ago"Moms Against Pokemon Go" There's now a hilarious contradiction, where parents are telling children to NOT go outside and run around.
- tedmiston 10y agoIt does seem like the locations they've chosen for pokéstops are biased towards churches and public gathering spaces like courthouse squares. I'm not sure if this is intentional. Source: I live in one of the most historic neighborhoods in the US (many old buildings and churches).
- jpindar 10y agoThey are located where Ingress portals are, which were specifically intended to be local places of interest - monuments, courthouses, schools, churches etc.
