Is Mortal Combat Encouraging Violence Against Minorities

In a now viral TikTok, content creator Xzit_Thamer creates a very illustrative video that warrants a deeper look. In the video, we can hear “That’s Just The Way It Is’ by TuPac Shakur start off with its famous piano intro, before a group of cops attack Jax, a perennial favorite of the game. A cop named Stryker pull out handcuffs, tasers and guns.

If you listen closely, you can hear them say ‘Stop Resisting’ as they deliver crippling blows and a fatality.
