玩家集体“造反”，只因游戏反派太过迷人
近日，由英国政府资助开发的游戏《路径：驾驭网络与极端主义》在海外走红。 Millions of dollars were spent on the game to educate young people, but players turned against them en masse because the villain’s wife in the game was too charming?
This 《Pathways》 is not a 3A masterpiece, nor is it a love simulation, but an anti-extremism educational interactive game officially funded and developed by Laoying. Called a game,《Pathways》 does not have any gameplay at all. Instead, it is more like the Flash courseware used by primary and secondary school students today.没有炫酷的战斗，也没有漂亮的CG。唯一的可玩性是点击选项。 Its essence is a PPT with a strong preaching flavor.
In 《Pathways》, players need to play the role of ordinary students and encounter various "extreme ideas" on campus and online.其中就有典型的负面NPC“阿米莉亚”，她负责扮演兴风作浪、挑拨离间的角色。在官方的剧本里，她是一个标准的‘误导者’。玩家必须远离她并拒绝她才能走向真正的结局。
剧情中，阿米莉亚会在各个场景中煽动玩家角色，灌输反移民思想。 For example: Immigrants are taking away our jobs, our houses, and our benefits;老鹰的资源有限，为何要分给外人？及其他备注。 But what is outrageous is that no matter whether the player supports or remains silent during the selection process, or conducts self-investigation, the game will judge him as having anti-immigration ideas, and he will eventually be reported by those around him.
The official intention of Laoying is to let students make distinctions, but the too "zzzq" didactic flavor actually inspired the rebellious psychology of contemporary young people, so most players began to support the views of the villain Amelia.
很多玩家认为阿米莉亚个性犀利，观点清晰，敢于发声。 Her views on protecting her own rights and interests, emphasizing local culture and identity are logically consistent, and can resonate with real life.另外，阿米莉亚的紫色头发和立领E-girl风格有一种叛逆的魅力，让大多数玩家都站在阿米莉亚一边。
于是，一场针对监狱英雄的反向狂欢开始了。
一开始，这只是海外论坛上的一个笑话。 Many bloggers started to live-stream the game of 《Pathways》 and deliberately chose the "wrong option" in the game, followed Amelia, and regarded the bad ending as the true ending.社区中，有很多关于Amelia的二次创作。艺术家不仅制作同人小说，还制作各种人工智能视频。 Some people even made a mod of Amelia and released it in the 《Hearts of Iron IV》 game, becoming the leader of the prison heroes.
以上只是人生的全部，更离谱的还在后面。 The currency circle was moved by the news and issued $AMELIAJAK named after Amelia.这枚硬币与阿米莉亚角色本身或《Pathways》游戏官方无关。 It is purely a product of the "hype" of speculators in the currency circle.
The market value of this hollow coin continues to increase under the hype again and again, attracting a large number of Amelia fans and speculators to follow suit, and even attracted Musk's "unintentional" praise.
Due to the unprecedented popularity brought by Amelia, there was an IF line of 《Pathways》.这条新的IF路线借鉴了网友二代的想法。 Players no longer need to be forced to reject Amelia, but can choose to agree with her views, follow her footsteps, and finally enter the palace of marriage with Amelia and give birth to a happy life of four white children.尽管这个结局被官方认为是BedEnd。
Looking back now,《Pathways》 it is no longer an educational game. Because of Amelia's setting and the player's rebellion, Amelia is no longer a designed NPC, but has been constantly rewritten and re-created by netizens, pushing Amelia into a "key political corner" in various positions.
