<Snipped quote by Revolutionary>
Treating it like some sacred taboo thing is wrong. Yes it was horrible, but if people aren't in danger from talking about it, then it should be talked about. We can't just treat horrible shit like it's special. Horrible shit happens all the time. Horrible shit is happening as we speak. Help the victims, hurt the aggressors, and prevent it from happening again, but don't say "oh you can't turn it into a fictional game" or "oh you can't make fun of that" or "oh you can't whatever else." You're practically saying that violent video games are bad at that point. As long as it's not saying "go do this horrible thing" or directly insulting the actual victims directly, then you're criminalizing imagination and coping. If this thing is horrible to turn into a game then so is any violent event. So is the old west and think of how many kids play games about that. Or pretend events that could become real somehow. I kind of get where you're coming from, but that's just glorifying what happened.
There's a fine line between talking about it and turning it into a game. It's not about anything being taboo, it's about respect for those that were involved. In wars, or most other historical events, there are a number of honorable things to take and look at. From something like this? There's nothing honorable or respectful in doing that. The game could have been made in a different manner to have honor or respect, but all it did was turn a tragedy with absolutely no positives to take from it into something to amuse people. World War Two, as a whole, tells the story about the old world's most recent major step into the modern world. The old west tells the story of American expansion and imperialism. It just isn't like that with this particular event.
