There’s bad, and then there’s so far over the line you can’t even see where you crossed it. Such is the case with the video game Active Shooter – the Simulation, which allows players to navigate a simulated school shooting and opt to be either the school shooter or a member of the S.W.A.T Team charged with taking the shooter down.

Active Shooter is a “dynamic S.W.A.T. simulator,” published by Valve and slated to be available for purchase in the Steam digital video game store on June 6.

While a disclaimer on Steam reads, “Please do not take any of this seriously. This is only meant to be the simulation and nothing else. If you feel like hurting someone or people around you, please seek help from local psychiatrists or dial 911 (or applicable). Thank you,” I think anyone with sense can agree this is nowhere near appropriate timing for such a game. (Which is never. There is never appropriate timing for a game like this.)

So far this year, there have been 28 school shootings, two of which occurred on consecutive Fridays — May 18 and 25 — and claimed the lives of 10 people while leaving a dozen others injured in both Texas and Indiana. This comes after the most devastating school shooting since Columbine, which occurred in Parkland, Florida in February and left 17 dead and 17 others injured.

We don’t need a simulated S.W.A.T. game. Reality is enough for us right now. And there are over 111,000 other people who agree, having signed a Change.org petition encouraging Valve not to publish the game.

As someone who works in a school and is charged with keeping other people’s children safe on a daily basis — not to mention someone who worries about making it home to her own children and about her children making it home from school to her every night — the concept and planned release of this game is unconscionable to me. How anyone could devise and then plan to profit off our very troubling and very real national nightmare right now is beyond comprehension.

Regardless of whether the petition is successful in thwarting the game’s publication, I want to send a heartfelt plea to parents and gamers alike to boycott this and any other similar games that may come along. Because the last thing this country needs is to further glorify heinous crimes such mass shootings in schools, even if players have the option of playing “the good guy” instead of “the bad.”

It’s not entertaining. Not to those who regularly grapple with the possibility of gun violence every day, and certainly not to the victims of it already. And if companies like Valve can’t take the moral high ground when it comes to content such as Active Shooter, then it’s on us to do so with our voices and our dollars.

Shame on you, Valve and Steam. And shame on us as a society for perpetuating this obsession.
