Two weeks ago, priests in Georgia (the Russian state, not the US one) led a mob that attacked about 50 gay rights demonstrators, hurling rocks and eggs and swinging furniture at the marchers. Someone’s cooked up a nearly unplayable side-scroller lampooning the chaos.
This is Call of Taburetka, the latter word meaning “stool” which is what a black-robed priest from the Georgian Orthodox church was swinging as the mob descended on the marchers, ending the rally before it could begin. The game’s creator, on its Facebook page, insist that the game is not homophobic. “Dear friends, this game it not anti-gay. it just describes what happened on May 17,” he says in one post. “i wanna say that this game isn’t anti-gay this is for funny,” he says in another.
I suppose I could believe that if the satire involved is how idiotically uncontrollable the priest is, and how he fails in his mission to assault within about 10 seconds of beginning a game, exploding into what looks like a fart cloud. People are lobbying Facebook to take down the page as a violation of its anti-hate speech policies. Assuming it’s not taken offline altogether, the game’s creators are considering “disabl[ing] this game for foreigners because they can’t understand meaning of this game.”

Freedom of speech is always the welcomed guest as long as they agree with you.
Georgia the Russian state? I think you mean Georgia the European country. In an article about trivialising things as well.
This is so cool.
I would love to see some of our Nuns give a few beatings to some gays.
