New in PJ Media:
Leftists live in a massive fantasy world in which men can become champion female swimmers and women can become mediocre male ones, white supremacists are the biggest terror threat the nation faces, and Jan. 6 was an “insurrection.” The Leftist fantasy world also features vicious white racists constantly harassing innocent and noble “people of color.” Such incidents are in short supply in the real world, and so the Left has to shore up its narrative by inventing them wherever possible.
To that end, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) has now developed a video game in which the fun never stops: players can stop “a white woman from the Midwest” from harassing a hijabed Muslim from Malaysia on an airplane. Want to become a fearless crusader against pandemic (indeed, systemic) white racism? “On the Plane” is the game for you.
According to a Wednesday report in the Washington Examiner, “On the Plane” is a “virtual reality role-playing game.” MIT explains the game’s scenario in this way: “Situated on an airplane, players can take on the role of characters from different backgrounds, engaging in dialogue with others while making in-game choices to a series of prompts. In turn, players’ decisions control the outcome of a tense conversation between the characters about cultural differences.”
What could be more fun than a video game featuring dialogue and tense conversation? Once you grab your copy of “On the Plane”, you get to “engage with three characters: Sarah, a first-generation Muslim American of Malaysian ancestry who wears a hijab; Marianne, a white woman from the Midwest with little exposure to other cultures and customs; or a flight attendant.”
Now, this could be interesting if both Sarah and Marianne are given the opportunity to confront their prejudices and false assumptions, but no such luck. In the Left’s world, only a “white woman from the Midwest with little exposure to other cultures and customs,” not a “first-generation Muslim American of Malaysian ancestry who wears a hijab,” could possibly have any prejudices or false assumptions in the first place. And so we are told before we even start playing how the interaction is supposed to work out: “Sarah represents the out group, Marianne is a member of the in group, and the flight staffer is a bystander witnessing an exchange between the two passengers.”
Caglar Yildirim, whom the university describes as “an MIT Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) research scientist who is a co-author and co-game designer on the project,” explains: “This project is part of our efforts to harness the power of virtual reality and artificial intelligence to address social ills, such as discrimination and xenophobia.

For realism, they could add muslima with explosives in her bra.

Exactly!

Dunno how many will notice, but muslim women w/ that name spell it ‘Sara’ (pronounced ‘saa-raa’) rather than ‘Sarah’. Here they spelt it that way just to make it a tad tricky to guess at first glance which one is the muslima and which one the Christian
I’d be happy to play that game: turn it on and just watch Marianne keep harassing ‘Sarah’. I wouldn’t bother either of them, nor the flight attendant, unless I’d have the opportunity to confront ‘Sarah’ and just pile on her, like Marianne 😈

They should include CAIR in the game –

And I thought that MIT’s chief mission was to produce top-tier engineers…

AI actually is engineering, but their choice of woke subjects to focus on is really annoying
James Lincoln says
Good point, Infidel.

Keep your distance from leftist institutions and communities because that is where people you cant trust congregate. Bad people are drawn to these places like flies to a dog turd. The left welcomes people with nefarious intentions no questions asked. We are literally watching the left prepare the groundwork for their demise. The Ritual Suicide Planning Collective. Heap um big fun! In the clash of civilizations the left has already showed us they are modern civilizations mortal enemy. Proceed accordingly.
Picking on a figment of his imagination (Midwestern female) shows the guy is a coward. But in many parts of the West it is a cowards world right now.
Osama bin Laden once said, “When people see a strong horse and a weak horse, by nature they will like the strong horse,” By nature, your enemy among you will back the weak horse. Can you spot the weak horse?
