Concrete Genie

PlayStation®4 Ι Genre: Game against bullying

Unfortunately, bullying is not a modern phenomenon; indeed we can find many examples of this regrettable behavior also in ancient opuses. For example in the Bible (Genesis 37:4) we can read that “When Joseph’s brothers saw that their father loved him more than any of them, they hated him and could not speak a kind word to him”. Obviously, in the literature of all time and cultures, we may find dozens of characters which has been bullied, but all of them belong to the imaginary field; one of the firsts recorded cases date back to 1862 and the protagonists are the British Army and a soldier named John Flood.
Mr. Flood was a young, friendly man while his comrade John O’Dea was the exact opposite: aggressive, bad- behaved, and absolutely irrational. As his intended victim, everyday O’Dea bullied Flood in several manners, and the worst one is when he stripped naked and whipped him. Fell into a depression the poor John Flood was reduced to the shadow of himself.
One day during a sentry duty; O’Dea approached Flood invented some offense and threating him in the worst way possible. So, tired of all the hate, he started to drink as much as he can, and when O’Dea got close to Flood to beat him, he loads the rifle and shot him. Soon after the murder, John Flood had been judged guilty and sentenced to capital punishment creating a scandal among the people.
Indeed, some magazines of that age told the whole story of Flood, and just before his execution, Queen Victoria changed the sentence to life imprisonment. Even if a little side-story in the glorious history of Great Britain, the figure of John Flood teaches us that we must always stay vigilant to fight bullying whenever and wherever it appears.
