Losing A Game Or Losing Life?

Losing A Game Or Losing Life?

The online life challenging game ‘The Blue Whale Challenge’, has taken the internet by storm. With the increasing interest of teenagers for the game, it is steadily turning as a new topic of worry for people, as the game propagates the idea of ‘self-destruction’ in the minds of individuals, compelling them to take their lives. Social Media, as it has developed and brought cheers in the lives of many has also brought tears to some. The online challenging game, ‘The Blue Whale Challenge’, according to some reports has taken 103 lives, out of which 53 were kids between the age group 13-15 years. Not only has the game taken people’s lives, but it has also injured several by the method of manipulating the participants to carve their arms with a phrase or by standing on the roof of the terrace.

‘The Blue Whale’, as per the reports, is administered by a group of admins who link curators to the participants, challenging them to complete a task. At the end of the game the participant is challenged to commit suicide. The major purpose of the game, as studied by the experts, is to propagate the idea of feeding humans with the same torture that the blue whales across the oceans go through. In defence of protecting the existence of the Blue Whales, the developers of the game define the extinction of humans as an only option. The Blue Whale challenge manipulates the psychology of participants by challenging their guts, compelling them to race against self by overcoming their inmost fears. A report published by the Russian media agency stated that the whole plot of the Blue Whale is a hoax, while the other reports claim that it is a part of new terrorist activity that seeks use of no weapon but digital technology in order to terminate the human kind.

The Blue Whale Challenge came into attention during the early days of summer, when two Russian teen girls committed suicide. The news of their suicide was spread across through the status that they had uploaded on social media. Researchers and Intelligence agencies have quoted “the minds behind the game, trace individuals on social media through regular activities and status updates and shares. Individuals who post depressing or suicidal posts become the primary target of this game and thus are dragged into the challenge without their conscious concern.”

The saddest part of this is the detrimental use of social media. Social Media sites came into existence for the good of the people, to bring them together, to stick them with each other, but with such type of things happening on Social media, people are steadily drifting apart, building a wall around themselves, by incepting doubts in their own minds about the other individual, making all people strangers again, for the world to be anomic again.
