Gay-killing game posted, pulled from the Google Play Store

Yesterday, the controversial gay-killing game Ass Hunter was available for purchase on the Google Play app store.

The app, which encourages users to shoot gay men before they can reach and molest you, had around 10,000 downloads in a 24 hour period according to Gay Star News.

Its description read, “Popular game hunting on gays is now on android! Play and do not be gay!”

Its instructions weren’t any better: “Legendary game, where you are hunter and your mission is to kill gays as much as you can or escape between them to the next level. Gays may be hidden in bushes and unexpectedly catch you. Remember! When they catch you they will do with you whatever they want.”

The game suggests the only thing gays do is rape… so the only response is to shoot them, as these (quite obviously graphic) screens demonstrate:

A Twitter campaign managed to pull the game from Google Play, citing Google’s app content policies ban of “depictions of gratuitous violence” and “materials that threaten, harass or bully other users.” Google also doesn’t allow apps “advocating against groups of people based on their… sexual orientation/gender identity.”

Google has not made comment on the issue.
