...and the girl is tossing the rock in her elft hand, so maybe it's a war against the evil oppressive right-handers.
No, wait, I'm playing the game and she's throwing righty. OK, it's evil after all!
Death to "David and Goliath Tees"!

SUBJECT:New Game Idea
Heh D&G, here’s a game that I’m sure will generate plenty of good press. How about a game that shows boys shooting their slingshots, using ball bearings as projectiles, at GIRL’S HEADS!!!! What a RIOT THAT WOULD BE! Make sure you include exploding skulls with lots of brain matter and blood and gore. Close ups of their agonized faces would be a plus. You could call it, hmmmm…. I know! “Girls, your weakness DISGUSTS ME. Therefore, you need to DIE!” Or, maybe just plain old “Girls are complete Bimbos, kill them all!” I can’t wait! After all, that is the purpose of all of this, RIGHT??? To promote animosity between the sexes? Perhaps if these games become pervasive, we’ll begin seeing some REAL deaths as a result. I CAN’T WAIT!!!! Do you think ball bearings are a bit overboard? I mean, it takes good aim for a rock to instantly kill an unsuspecting and innocent young boy. But hey! It’s all in good clean FUN!!! YIPPPEE. Let the killing begin!!!!
END
Over the top? Probably. But I could not believe that this company still exists and actively promotes the same garbage that I THOUGHT Glenn Sacks, et al, had successfully squelched. Plus, they do it with a sickening attitude of contempt. Do you know why men don't reciprocate? Because we are BETTER than this crap. We try to make them see what they are doing but to no avail. Men create games that kill BAD guys and monsters. Nameless, Faceless BAD GUYS that NEED killing. But, this tripe? How much pleasure would anyone on this board receive from side-arming a sharp stone at a 8 year old girl's head? NOT ONE! And if you caught your son(s) doing it they would probably get their ass tore up. I'm so mad I could SPIT. GOD DAMN IT!

I didnt think it was over the top. I thought it was funny and it seems it would have been fun to write.
But a rock fight in real? Com'on the boys would kick ass. Well, as long as they could get away from their socialized 'don't hit girls' ethic.
I remember that not too long ago I had snowball shaped mudball, with strategically implanted small pebbles, fights with other boys. Also snowball fights with some escalating into pebbles implanted in them as well. Oh yeah, and apple fights from the areas where apple trees would grow.
Surely with feminists crying about how women (the very small percentage of) being hit/killed in video games will escalate into real life violence against women, the same would be true about a game specifically to throw rocks at boys in real life. If these games do escalate into real life fights, which sex has the most real life practice and toughness to be able to win?
Hey, this may be sexist. But no way can I imagine that in general girls would be able, or know how, to play these games fair and in fun. And without crying as a way to win sympathy, or crying home to mommy about the mean boys, or it turning into a mean and real children's gender war.
The people who make money off this stuff quite possibly will be bringing more violence against women and there won't be the 'don't hit girls' ethic because they have made the girls destroy it by having taken advantage of it that male ethic.
Feminists are stupid not to complain about these things, even if for totally self centered reasons, I believe.

You know, you have a good point. If girls ever did start a rock throwing fad, they'd get it back in spades. Young bucks don't like getting hit by anybody, especially a girl. Of course every boy that picked up a rock, whether thrown or not, would get hauled off to the re-education centers. The girls, on the other hand, would get a slap on the back and a high five. Those that survived, that is. Maybe I have this all wrong. Encouraging girls to throw rocks at boys is a sure fire way to put the ones that are dumb enough to do it in the emergency ward. Maybe the asses at D&G are misogynists after all.

Ignoring the gender issue . . . a close boyhood friend of mine threw a stone at his cousin, which resulted in permanent blindness in one eye . . .
. . . surely just on Health & Safety grounds . . . this game ! . . should be withdrawn ?

Gang-banged.
I had a similar expirience when I was a kid.
In my old neighborhood the fad was; "If you dis-agreed with someone (another boy) THROE ROCKS AT HIM".
Well one day one of my friends had a disagreement with another freind of mine, and as usual the rocks went flyin'. Any way he picked up a particulairly large pebble and threw it at the other kid, hitting him square in the mouth. It chipped a tooth and he had blood cascadeing from his mouth, he of course ran home crying.
We (all the other boys) were so horified that we rarely ever threw rocks again at each other.
I had a good lesson, that day about what could happen to somone when they are hit with a rock. Personaly, I never threw another rock at anyone ever again. I have never forgotten that day.
That is why, amoung other obvious reasons, I am so opposed to this "GIRLS THROW ROCKS AT BOYS" thing.
Hmmm, I'm still waiting for the T-shirts that say "Niggers are stupid, HANG them!"
It's all about the same difference.
