Sometimes in my spare time I will watch people play video games on YouTube for shits and giggles. Recently an independent developer ended a kickstarter campaign for a game called Among the Sleep, where you play as a two year old boy. It's a psychological horror game, where your mother supposedly disappears and you spend the game traversing a hellish version of your house with a talking teddy bear, trying to find her again. On the surface, it looks like your house has been invaded by demons, but the astute observer will realize otherwise.
You begin to notice that the monster frequently appears when you make a lot of noise, like breaking glass or knocking boxes over. When it finds you, it attempts to take the teddy bear away and the game ends. The monster has a vague witchlike appearance, and sometimes also appears as a massive overcoat with eyes. In some areas, you are will find discarded liquor or wine bottles, and you will hear muffled and unintelligible arguments between a man and a woman.
At the end of the game, as I'm sure most of you have picked up at this point, you find that the mother and father were divorced, and the mother won custody of the child. She turned to the drink, and began abusing the child, and you find her at the end of the game, where she pushes you away l, drunk, and rips the arm off your teddy bear. The player then crawls outside where you hear a man's voice, the same voice as the teddy bear, who tells you everything will be ok.
When I watched this I was just like "fuck yeah", nodding in approval, the dad won custody of the child back. Go figure this was made by a Russian developer, and I can only assume it has a factual basis. I'm waiting for the feminists to catch wind of this. If you guys have time, just look up the ending. Even if you think video games are a waste of time, it was very powerful and moving to me.
TL;DR
Russian video game says fuck you to alcoholic mothers and praises strong father figures

Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag. We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language. And we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people.
