Comment on Meet ‘Amelia’: the AI-generated British schoolgirl who is a far-right social media star
bigmamoth@lemmy.world 12 hours agothat was the first article that report on that game said. Anyway i find it already distopian enough tha a gouvernement try to shame you wause you dont agree with their immigration politics. I saw somewhere that the gouvernement had 10% popular opinion. Pretty sure it should have other priortity. Like rebuilding public trust

The game is from 2023. Not much to do with the current government. It was also an attempt to stop radicalisation, not shame people for having stupid views on immigration.

“Selecting the option to research the topic is also portrayed negatively.” The character can also attend a protest against “the changes that Britain has been through in the last few years and the erosion of British values”. Attending the protest nearly results in arrest East Yorkshire councils developed Pathways with Government support amid local “concerns” about immigration and tensions over migrant hotels.
yeah that look like a lot like gouvernement propaganda

Possibly propaganda, but a past government. The funder of that game, “Prevent”, was a scheme started under the ill-fated Cameron government and by 2023, I think that was the Sunak government.
Then again, why shouldn’t people who act as if they’re being radicalised in the game not expect their character to be nearly arrested in the game? It’s extremely twisted if someone from an immigrant nation like the UK starts protesting against immigration, it’s not going to end well and it’s probably better for the game to explain that reality than pretend those protests don’t have a downside.
