[Insert popular video game here] might be just a game, but its underlying message is becoming more and more troubling
- Tohhou 13y ago[Insert popular thing here] might be just a [thing], but its underlying message is becoming more and more problematic. /r/conspiracy is leaking into HN /r/conspiratard would like a word with many here.
