If you think it is insulting when you are bullied in real life imagine how it feels when the video game is doing the bullying. Just because it is a digital world does not mean you are safe from the same consequences as the real world. Everything ranging from murder to just flat out bullying nothing escapes the judgement of the digital world. Which has a very interesting and in some ways entertaining way of telling you to stop being a jerk to the video game characters. Multiple channels list all sorts of these types of games that do not allow jerks on their servers without rightfully punishing them for it. These channels include
- Eligible Monster
- Watchmojo
- Whatculture
- Toptenz

While there is some variety of games among the different lists as shown in the two videos posted above there are some constants that consistently appear no matter the list. Specifically the games Resident Evil Four and the game simply named Bully.
As far as Bully goes as shown in the picture above the concept is fairly straightforward. You are a bully in a high school which gives an original spin on the concept some students know far too well. The dreaded detention where you would have to essentially be Bart Simpson and fulfill tedious tasks to continue with the actual game. Showing that you maybe giving somebody a wedgie in real life or in a video game you will be thrown in the cells of detention before you can even blink.
Resident Evil Four the cost for being a jerk is a lot more brutal. Proving that no matter how you feel about the non playable characters you should not do anything to them because they are not afraid to push back and take you down. During the game you play as Leon Kennedy and at one point of the game you can interact with a character named Luis Sera. Who is basically an NPC companion who can help you with supplies and other things. However if you shoot Luis more than two times you get a special cutscene where he shoots the main character for shooting him. What goes around comes around and that is true everywhere in the real world and in the digital world. So it just goes to show you that you really should try to stay on your best behavior no matter what your doing because someone or something is gonna be ready to fight back. Weather it be made of flesh and blood or high resolution pixels one thing is for certain it is Game On!
