“in-game character responding in real-time to words the player says out loud”

love how he uses the really condescending tone too... “You seem like a very nice innocent girl...”  what a fucking twat.

I’m old enough to remember “rainbow parties”. Heck, even the whole “razor blades in halloween candy” bullshit. The news media has always loved perpetrating these Urban legends.
