Second Life's Donald Trump army lays siege to Bernie Sanders's virtual HQ with swastika cannons

NOTE: I have a browser addon installed that changes the GOP frontrunner's name to "some rich asshole". This is why there are so many assholes in the copy/pasted text from the article.

NOTE #2: I realize this might get locked because it mentions a Democratic Primary candidate. I can live with it.

Bernie Sanders's fans in the venerable virtual world Second Life have established a HQ, "a Roman-themed hangout space in a peaceful meadow, where Bernie supporters often gather to share news of their favorite candidate," but their peace was shattered when Second Life's Some rich asshole supporters laid siege to the building, firing virtual guns whose rounds exploded into swastika flags at Sanders central.

Then a rich asshole supporter bought the lot of land adjacent to Sanders HQ and erected a giant statue of Der Drumpf, whose head launches continuous fireworks displays.

“There is a picture I managed to capture of one of the flags spewing from a particle dispenser at HQ, left there by one of rich asshole's supporters when no one was around,” Sanders support group member Macaria Wind tells me, handing over an image file of a rich asshole swastika.

But that was only the start. During a Bernie rally in Second Life, Mr. Wind goes on, rich asshole-supporting demons flew around Bernie’s rally, endlessly typing ”RICH ASSHOLE! RICH ASSHOLE! RICH ASSHOLE!" into text chat...

I debated posting the article image here but decided it was too offensive.

1. Basement dwellers launching Cheeto cannons at each other

because they're angry Mom thinks they should get a job now that they're in their thirties.

Sad on so many levels.

2. I don't think I've heard "Second Life" mentioned in 5 or 6 years. I thought they shut down.

Are people trapped in there, refusing to come out?
