The message of this game is toxic.
Moving the blame of a school shooter to bully or classmate is wrong.
A lot of people get bullied but at least they search for help.
I understand that a high school is a difficult place and delusional, but hatred and misogyny won't make things better.
Remember if you are sad or you don't feel good asking for needs is not an impostor syndrome and you are not weak.

"71% of [school shooters] were victims of bullying". " 87% of school shooting perpetrators left behind evidence that they were victims of severe bullying". So yes bullying is a major reason why school shootings occur.
Secondly, how is this game misogynistic? The game does not have a single message regarding gender, but I guess you just thought it looked like a cool word so you put it in without even knowing what the words means Please refrain from posting stupid reviews in the future.

The game isn't supposed to have a meaning it's supposed to be dark. You don't look at games like Fallout and say "It's promoting nuclear war"

I'm just offended at the ageism, I'm a bald middle aged introverted fat man and I am not represented here.

You are toxic for victim blaming.

Ikr, why would anybody blame those who got shot?

The reasons for school shootings are similar to those of any similar sort of mass shooting. Look to the wave of postal shootings in America, for instance, and you'll see numerous similarities. It's not "victim-blaming" so much as pointing out that reality is complicated, as usual.

What I don't like is the idea of both the introvert supposedly somehow finding it in himself to reveal to just plain anyone at all the desire to commit to a shooting, which to me as an introvert is already WTF, but also feeling such a strong need to find a friend, within a certain time frame to boot (which is likely just because vidya gaemz, but I digress). As much as I get people are different, when I was a bullied introvert, I didn't want a special person to talk to so much as I wanted the bullying to stop and for people to leave me alone; after so much negative sensory input I wanted less social interaction, not more. If not for that reason, a bullied person may reject friendship out of paranoia as well. Otherwise, friends can still be helpful, but they don't fully counteract ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, they serve the same purpose as putting a band-aid on a broken leg, well-intentioned but ultimately not very effective. At best, a friend could hold the plan off for a bit, and if a shooter feels their friend is legit about their friendship then they probably won't shoot their friend, but if this person is already set on shooting people, he would need proper intervention and counseling, or would just be set on doing it regardless of when and how.

Let's not forget that getting help isn't always as easy as it should be, either.

Also, bullies are themselves perpetrators of negative behaviour. So the OP is already engaging in victim blaming themself. Claiming the bullies carry no responsibility is just as wrong, school shooters generally don't act without reason.

Lastly, i don't get why this game is called Introvert. That doesn't seem to have anything to do with the actual message, nor does it appear to be presented accurately.
If every kid who got bullied shot up a school, there would be no schools in existence.
Bullying is bad. But killing people is worse.

Its most likely the devs own cry for help, here. He has a sick mind.

I think this game has no message, it looks more like post-ironic parody on stories about bulling in school.
