The phrase in question refers to the act of acquiring, typically via electronic means, a role-playing game that is highly controversial due to its themes and subject matter. The game simulates events surrounding a tragic high school shooting. The term encompasses both the action of obtaining the game files and the potential locations from which these files may be sourced.
Dissemination of the game, and therefore the activity of acquiring it, raises significant ethical and legal concerns. Its content is widely viewed as deeply offensive and potentially harmful, especially to those affected by similar real-world tragedies. Historically, such content has faced scrutiny and legal challenges due to its potential to incite violence or cause emotional distress.
