If I were SE I would look into suing the paper, for trying to damage the company, show people that this kind of situation are to do with mental health rather than video games (and the false accusation that the guy was cosplaying a Final Fantasy character)

Sonic came out when I was a kid, and I never knew of anyone jumping on fat people claiming they were saving the world from Dr Robotnik.

I played Mortal Kombat as a kid on the mega drive (or genesis for anyone in NA) and I haven't tried to freeze people solid and uppercut them, or have a harpoon fly out of my hand shouting "Get over here!"

How long before this happens and Mario gets banned.
