Gamers, ever since our founding, we have prided ourselves on advancing the position that video games are great. We are not neutral on this subject, nor have we allowed ourselves to ever falter in letting the world know that games and the people who play them are awesome. Yet, a recent incident in Agra, India has forced our hand.
Look, you know us. We fervently believe that gamers rule, and we understand why the graffiti’s author would get the irrepressible feeling that more people should know this. But this is a UNESCO heritage site with nearly 400 years of history we’re talking about. The message scrawled onto it could be anything and we would still condemn it. If someone had spray-painted “game are bad” over its famous Mughal architecture, we would immediately issue a statement decrying this sentiment.
Nonetheless, there had to have been a better way to express this feeling than scrawling it across Emperor Shah Jahan’s tomb to his wife Mumtaz Mahal. As a thought experiment, consider what it would be like if someone broke into your house overnight and keyed “Stephen King Is Great” into your Xbox, PS4, or Switch. Would you like that? Of course not. No one has the right to deface your most beloved object. And that’s exactly what the curators and devotees of the Taj Mahal are feeling now.
It's completely fake , just a photoshopped
...check out THE DONALD WOZ 'ERE in blood-red across the front of the White House; nobuddy duz k'now how it got thar...
STOP DUDE

...Millennials looking for attention. Victims. How about the men and women that have lost their limbs that DONT claim to be victims. SPOILED.
Disrespectful.
Well that's a completely fake.. if you zoom in you can clearly see the paint is overlapping over the people ..well also the size of structure is so huge that it would take around a week to complete this thing..😪😪
Lol wonder how many people fell for this .
Photoshop antifa hodlum cling ons.
F for the people who missed the pun 🤣🤣🤣
Dont know why people are jealous of others beautiful things, and they are so happy to see get it spoilt. Jalkukde kahi ke....

Lol! I'm from there It not real you dumbasses!
That was comissioned by Mongol rulers for a Persian queen and the genius indian artisans that built it with their hands and designs were blinded (and killed) by Shah Jahan the Mongol ruler.
lmao OGN
I did it and I'm sorry.
I’ve been there years ago, this construction is the greatest
The 'come on' at the beginning of the article title just makes this post 12 times better

Non sense
ZhugeEX Is this true ?

Wait did this really happen

vikasboliwal 😂🤣🤣
This isn't true.
Everyone who thinks this is real🤡🤡🤡
bruh
Fuck g**ers
This is fake news, gamers might rule but not that much.
So Elon Musk has liked a fake news. The level to which fake news are spreading as propaganda nowadays is mind boggling. Also the level of influence.
GAMERS RISE UP

It's not a cultural landmark it's a symbol personal ambition and making 20000 people disabled by cutting there hands brutalism
PIB_India Hi, can you guys confirm if this news is true?
This should be a new spray paint on warzone
Here from India: it's not real but would be pretty cool if it was 😛😂
Sure some of don’t understand what the pic means 😂😂😂, no one in India would dear try it. But in America they claim freedom to destroy
So much spray paint!
They Will Never Succeed in theirs bulshit aims 🖐️ rss_ghunda_modi
Good one, but fake😄
How come India doesn’t know?
Do the Great Wall next!
Like who the hell put Taj Mahal on Gamers Rule monument?
I'd like to see the spray can that size!
Awa za
Who cares! It's a building shut da fk up
Fake news
Lolll... As an indian I am shocked that people are believing this.. Even ELON has liked this post
GOOD
BuiltWithSwag I can't even
It's a fake news 🙏
That's a lot of spray paint that would take a lot of effort. How did they even get up that high?
The thing is that people are gonna believe it's real😂
This isn't true. It is photoshopped you Fools!!!!
I know it's bad Spray Painting, but imagine how many cans and f paint used up.
3 months late for April fool.
AltNews zoo_bear AltNewsHindi free_thinker Please debunk this fake news.
zoo_bear please bust this fake news.
Lol people thinking this is real.
A minute of silence for those who really think Taj Mahal was Spray Painted!
This really isn't funny in my opinion. Gamers already get far too much negative press as it is, whether its in regards to sex, drugs, violence or something else. All this is, is fodder for some nutjob to point at in his or her case against the medium.
Shah Jahan was a gamer himself.
C'mon gamers, a dude made that for his dead waifu. Not cool!
Wait what? 🙄
is this for real ? 😂
Y'all must don't know what onion news is! Still think it's real? 😂😂😂😂😂😂
gamers rise up
Tagging the Taj is truly inspired. And so is whoever thought of that one.
Looks photoshopped to me
Moron Musk elonmusk spreading Fake news

FAKE !
It’s just hard to believe someone could do that and not get noticed and you can kinda see the imperfections in the photo shop
This may be photoshop but it’s prob real

I don't know how he reached nearly to the top of entrance. After all its taj Mahal and is no smaller than a Skyscraper. It must have took weeks
Fucking Sony ruining the Taj Mahal just to push sales of ps5.....

Gamer Lives Matter
no way this is real
There is no such case in India. The Taj Mahal is the enduring symbol of love and every Indian is proud of her. IDK how do you got 11.5M followers for spreading false news!
What is that rule of gamers i’ve never heard about?
Another victory for the gamers!
It is so deep than many missed the point
It’s sad that gamers are the most oppressed groot in society I’m glad they’re taking a stance even if we need to destroy some weird old building now people will reconize gamers as an big social group. To all epic gamers out there: eat ass smoke grass and rise up
Satire emulating reality
Truly a sad day, why would gamers do this to such a beautiful building? This is NOT how you get a message across
Gamer Lives Matter. Also, The Onion, I weep for you, I fear 2020 will put you out of work. Reality is now more unbelievable than your satire.
that's pretty epic actually
Shopped. Both words are spelled right.
i got groped in there when i was 12
Gamers lives matter
omg why would they do this
FalKoopa_ yeh kya ho raha hai? XD
Deface? I thought that’s what the Taj Mahal stood for
ANTIFA!
OpIndia_com is gonna run this as real news and then try to convince that they're doing anything related to journalism.
Crazy
Fangamer How could you?!
whats this got to do with tea in china?
Yogi Adityanath is culpable
I thought destroying historically / culturally important sites was the new thing to do? From confederate, to democrat statues even a statue of a black former slave who died fighting to save his kind. Then there’s Lincoln who freed the slave not to mention the churches burnt!
YEAR_2123 GAMERS RISE UP!!!!!!!!!!!
GamerPres2020 as the first gamer president, what is your stance?
Do they have a video game where people move or deface Confederate statues ?
ChristineEliaz You wanna talk about defacing? Now that's defacing👇
It’s amazing the size of the spray can needed to do that 😂
GAMERS RISE UP!
It was me.. sorry.
is this like an 'equal' take against people taking down statues of slavers. 'two sides to every story' is american PR propaganda to let themselves sell whatever to the fucking public n actually give nothing up. I hate americains fr 👎🏻👎🏻
Somebody’s gonna blame it on BLM. 🤣
As an Indian I have no problem with it.
I love gamers! They're easy to sneak up on.
I’m just glad those protesters didn’t pull it down
Looks like they used the new 'rattle can' drone. 😒
Trump is probably telling Modi to look into Antifa as we speak.
'we generally agree'? have you MET a gamer?
but they be ruling doe
lol The Onion is racing to get ahead of 2020 at warp speed, and it's not fast enough
This is from The Onion, people. It’s satire.
gamer’s rise up
Maybe I should've actually taken the low pay to go work for the onion as a graphics artist or they should pay for talent LOL
JordanUhl I think we need to ask Gandhi what he thinks of this
Wait you guys think this is real? I agree gamers rule but no one spray painted that on the Taj Mahal.
'Failed Trump Casino' sounds better...
The Taj Mahal is a monument to the imperialist Mughal colonizers. The defacement stays.
🦶🐢 heh, gamers
The fact that vandals were able to pull this off is a shameful act, but also a marvel of engineering that is a feat rivaling the Taj itself. Or at least the casino version in Vegas. The design of the 75 foot can of spray paint alone defies explanation.
JordanUhl Lol
Now it looks better though
Well.. atleast they dint go 'white power!' on that pristine marble. That prolly would have been too on the nose😋
Our leaders and Police have defaced and violated us in the worst ways possible. This ain't nothing when compared to that shit
Haha, Taj MaPWNED.
life is a game and it's got overwhelmingly negative reviews on steam

Funny thing is you will barly hear this reported because every outlet has there own agenda. Thats how things are now and folks are wakin up
DefundThePolice I'm here for my baby, and I’m here for George, because I want justice for him. Roxie Washington, George Floyd's girlfriend. Justice will achieved only by endurance. Sundays of Justice is just starting
I can already see the boomers using this to shit on video games
Dang, why would they even do a thing like that? Who puts the Taj Mahal where the Gamers Rule wall is?
Maybe whoever lives there did it. I mean it's their house they should be able to have it like they want.
