The game may be offensive, but it does teach a good lesson. Which is, to treat others the way you want to be treated, or someone might not like it and feel like he should do something about. This might lead people feeling desperate and see no other way to deal with whatever problems they might have and lead to horrible events such as the actual columbine event. Kant would agree to this, when he wrote his first formulation, “Act only from moral rules that you can at the same time will be universal moral laws.” What Kant is trying to say is, that one should follow rules that can be applied to anyone and anyone should benefit by such rules. Doing an action that one would get a benefit but other would get affected by it, would be considered unethical.
