Oh, yeh! Hello everybody, my name is Markiplier and welcome to "We Become What We Behold". This is made by the same creator of :the game:, You may remember :the game: from a while ago; it was a Flash animated-style game about MEMES and such, back when they weren't actually MEMES and such, 'Cause that game came out in 2008. *background music stops* I got nothin' profound to say about that, it was 2008. What happened in 2008? Here's what happen- What happened in 2008? I have no goddamn idea. Ohh, that's right, the financial crisis, that's what the game was all about! If you wanna know about the game, I'll put a link in the description. It was great, I loved it a lot. Uh, but this is a short, five minute-

"Who tunes in to watch people get alooong??" I do!! Oh, that's adorable! Oh, it's adorable! "Peace is boring, violence goes viral." I feel like there's a message to be said here

Oh, no. *still lots of screaming* What about the love? *screaming intensifies* LOVE! Hello? You have a lovely hat! *screams seem to echo* You gonna do something? *gasps* It's destinyyy... *click of a gun*
Uh-oh. *gunshot*
*everyone screams in terror* OOHHHH....... *warped static sounds mix with the screaming* WOAH *there is only fear and blood to be known, only the echoed awful sounds of static* What the fuck?? This took a dark turn! ..oohhhhh.... ..uh... Be scared...Be angry. *there is no more news report music. Only the continuous aching sounds of terror* Oh God. Uh.. Oh jeez! Oh God! Stop it! *Mark scared sound* Stop it! Oh, jeez. Oh, God oookay Alright, there's no winning here now. I done bad. Oh, God, I did something bad. Oh, jeez. Oh God, he's got a shotgun. oohh boy. *Mark makes sounds of fear and disgust* I didn't wanna do this! I didn't want anything to do with this! Oh, jeez. Oh, God.... Oh, jeez Oh, God. oohhoho..... Hoooly shhit. That...went...wrong....real quick. *continuous sounds of agonizing, throbbing static, gunshots and screaming* Wow. (Mark look what you did.) (Why did you do this?) Oh, wow.... ....oh.... *sudden silence. The pain has stopped. But that is because there is no more pain to be felt. Everyone is dead, murdered by hate and fear* Oh, my goodness..... (This silence does not mean peace.) (It means that chaos ruined all.) *quietly* Holy shit... (Holy shit indeed, Mark.) That was, uh.... (Mark is rendered speechless because of the incredible impact that the game had on him, exposing the future if we do not heed this message.) Th- that rendered me speechless... (Yes, that's what I just said.) You all understand the message, correct? Oh...God...that's so sad!
*crickets chirp, hiding the sad silence* Oh, no! Oh, my God.... That's so nice... Just...lovely... Oh, man, oh, man... Oh, that's awesome Share the PAIN?? Oh, God *trying not to laugh* Let's share the pain. Oh, man. I- I- I-..I get the message, it's just the.... Constant cycle of... of negativity... ..because.. It- it creates interest? It's a bad cycle to perpetuate! It's just a horrible cycle to keep going because it's just something...it's the snake that eats its own tail. It's the constant, never-ending wheel of pain! If you constantly tell people that the world is horrible, they will eventually believe you! And then...you'll become a prophet because what you said shall become true. oof There's too many parallels to draw into society today. So I won't draw them myself, I will spread positivity and - You know what? That's actually a good idea. I wanna go spread joy and love and happiness and freedom. So I'm gonna go out there, and I don't know how I'm gonna do it, but I'm gonna spread a lot of joy and a lot of happiness... and show you some really cool and heartwarming things :) Cuz' I think that's the antidote that we need for this right now. - Not that this game was bad - This game was incredible, and I loved it a lot, and I really do respect what this developer does. He does an amazing job. So: THANK YOU everybody so much for watching, and as always I will see ~you~ in the next video! Buh-bye! ~*outro music*~
Sadly, this sort of thing isn't unfamiliar to me, and I don't think it takes much to figure out what events inspired this.
Which makes me wonder what makes me sadder: the state of the media, or the state of the population. Granted, in reality, the people who take things to this level are a minority, and will likely be taken down before they can even hope to make this escalate to this level. Even so knowing that so many people still just blindly believe the media, and that the media is so void of any sense of morality; it's enough to make me go full hikkikomori at times.
Oh look, it's "Traditional Media: The Game"
Dang
fpooooo..... wow...
