Yeah that makes sense. But like, not everything is about America. I wonder how they receive Yandere in Japan and how they’d receive the gun shooting game there too

Well I think comparing the two is well and good but there are differences which is why yandere simulator isn't really at the samr height of fame or controversy.

Yandere simulator is about a yandere a popular character tropes in Japan which is like the psycho stalker girlfriend taken to the umpteenth degree. 

Meanwhile this game as far as I know just shows you shooting up a school, for no rhyne or reason.

I think a game that explored a school shooting would be interesting if done correctly.

Gross but I have a very genuine question here 

Why is Yandere Simulator seen as ok when they're both about killing students ? I play it myself yet this game you showed shocked me. I'm just really curious about what's the subconscious factor that makes them different 

It's because Yanderes in real life is not a real thing. Girls who kill for their romantic interest is far and between, if any. Shooting up kids in schools is cruel to the victims of real life shooting because they actually happen frequently. Yandere Simulator is parody, this is just distasteful and might fuel more people to actually do this in real life.

"Active Shooter and its developer have been removed from Steam

Valve said the man behind Revived Games is a troll with a history of abuse.

"Ata is a troll, with a history of customer abuse, publishing copyrighted material, and user review manipulation. His subsequent return under new business names was a fact that came to light as we investigated the controversy around his upcoming title. We are not going to do business with people who act like this towards our customers or Valve." "

i saw a few people saying "how is this any worse than the airport level in MW2 and GTA V?" and the biggest difference is: in most video games you're not murdering children (80% of the time it's killing men/monsters/creatures who want to kill you first), the MW2 level has a warning and is skippable and GTA V is a parody of american culture

this really isn't defendable and is in such horrible taste in a really bad time, i don't know what caused somebody to think "hey, lets make a game where you shoot up a school!" but jesus christ  

Also in the airport scene you are not required to pull the trigger once AND you can skip the scene

This, like many things these days, feels created to provoke outrage.
