Note the framing: it's the PROTESTS that are creating the rifts, not the support for genocide. Everything would be fine if the plebians sat down and shut up.

That's great. Are they actually going to do anything about it?

Lol, no one's putting a gun to people's heads to make them act bigoted. If your response to being accused of racism is "Oh, yeah? I'll show you racism!" then you're just showing your true colors.

"If you stick a knife in my back 9 inches and pull it out 6 inches, there's no progress. If you pull it all the way out, that's not progress. The progress is healing the wound that the blow made.. And they won't even admit the knife is there." - Malcolm X.

Every time I read about this game I wonder who the hell is giving them all this money.

Reminds me of the fact that female ducks have really complex vaginas to try to avoid getting raped (and it doesn't work).

Pushing for family values by making it easier to get away with beating your wife.

The fact that this monster lived a full century without facing any justice for the mass graves filled with his victims makes me ill, but I am glad to hear that he's finally gone.

Three other competitors didn't survive what were supposed to be non-lethal qualifier duels on the day before the finals. One player tragically died right after winning a duel to a random explosion from their Goblin Rocket Boots. Another Goblin malfunction killed a player who was an official spectator for the fights.

I am so glad I clicked through. This is great stuff.

So, the answer is basically "Because the city government decided they didn't want pedestrians to die, and acted accordingly."

Killing people is apparently 100% legal in the US as long as you use a car to do it.
