the article actually doesn't support that oddly enough, and makes a point of saying that among us is actually very non-graphic and became popular during the pandemic because it provides a way for people to engage socially over a fun activity focused on their relationships

It's the big story, so they will print anything tangentially related to it.

Can't wait for the parents interview.

But how many people will actually read all the way to the 6th paragraph and not get stuck at “video game killer” from the headline? You even get his friend calling him “a real killer” before that

Thankyou. I got torn to shreds last night because I dared to suggest that people were overreacting to this article. I felt like I was going crazy.

there is two huge problems with the article

1) it's absolutely not a thing worth reporting

2) the title.

Even if the article per se doesn't buy its own story, it's clear it is purposefully misframed, to generate engagement and possibly to smear the accused.

The article didn't have to be written.  They are clearly connecting killing to a game about assassins
