its creator, a Brazilian man named Nidal Nijm

OH MY GOD IT HAD TO BE A FUCKING BRAZILIAN!!! 😆😆😆😆

Also, as many on the thread pointed out, so did the creator:

Nijm has a point about the violence normalized in the video game industry; many of the most famous, lauded and widely-played video games feature graphic violence, often directed against Arab enemies. Call of Duty has several installments featuring Arab militant enemies, and it’s the entire plot of games like Six Days in Fallujah.
