Super Columbine Massacre RPG![edit]
Super Columbine Massacre RPG! is a role-playing video game created by Danny Ledonne and released in April 2005. The game recreates the 1999 Columbine High School massacre near Littleton, Colorado. Players assume the roles of gunmen Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold and act out the massacre, with flashbacks relating parts of Harris and Klebold's past experiences. The game begins on the day of the shootings and follows Harris and Klebold after their suicides to fictional adventures in perdition. The game represents a critique of how traditional media sensationalized the shooting (in particular the role of video games), as well as parodying video games themselves. Super Columbine Massacre was created with ASCII's game development program RPG Maker 2000 and took approximately six months to complete. Super Columbine Massacre was released for free online and attracted little attention until 2006, when widespread media coverage fueled hundreds of thousands of downloads. (Full article...)

- Reasons for nomination: I found this article on the fly and discovered it was featured and had not been on TFA. Now that I think about it this is a kinda weak nomination
- Support as nom. Great Mercian (talk) 17:36, 20 April 2022 (UTC)
- Oppose While I am a big fan of WP:NOTCENSORED, I do think there are some lines that should not be crossed, and a TFA about a video game on this topic is in poor taste. Also, there's already a lot of video game articles that are requested for this month so I'd prefer to have less controversial articles on TFA. Z1720 (talk) 18:29, 20 April 2022 (UTC)
- Strong oppose. There are articles that frankly can't be run at TFA for societal reasons, NOTCENSORED or not, and this is one of them. FWIW, the suggested image is non-free and cannot be used on the main page. Hog Farm Talk 22:26, 20 April 2022 (UTC)
- Oppose per TFANEVER, or at least embargoed until 2099. Notwithstanding MNOTCENSORED, anything on the main page is deemed to have our approval, whether or not we think it should, and this goes against the project's entire existence. SN54129 13:41, 21 April 2022 (UTC)
- Oppose, common sense. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 13:56, 21 April 2022 (UTC)
- Support. Er, editors supporting NOTCENSORED but insisting that a line be drawn. Someone is going to have to explain this to me in simple words. (And I am unable to find a policy called WP:TFANEVER.) I hope that the scheduler who decides on this nomination discounts all !votes which cite NOTCENSORED and then disregard it.
