WoW players cannot politics!
Maine State Senate democratic candidateColleen Lachowicz has been slammed by the Republicans for a violent history of assassination, poisoning, and dickpunching. InWorld of Warcraft. For crying out loud.
Maine Republicans have set up oneamazingly desperate attack site, gathering Lachowicz’s online history and using herWorld of Warcrafthabits as proof that she shouldn’t be considered fit for office. According to the site, “In Colleen’s online fantasy world, she gets away with crude, vicious and violent comments like the ones below.Maine needs a State Senator that lives in the real world, not in Colleen’s fantasy world.”
The site is made up of posts taking Colleen’s descriptions of herWoWgames and using them to paint her as a dangerous socialist sociopath. In just two days, it’s amassed a very comprehensive collection of posts — some of whichdodetail non-game things she was probably unwise to say, with many others taking her gaming discussions out of context. The base suggestion is thatWoWmakes you unfit for office because gamers are remedial fantasists.
There you go. If you play games, you can’t be a politician. Man, that site’s going to lookgloriouslystupid when the next generation of game-playing people become the majority of public officials.
