A sick video game that allows players to slaughter gay men, feminists and people of colour has been slammed as a ‘disgrace’ on social media.
Jesus Strikes Back: Judgement Day lets users select characters that appear to be Christchurch gunman Brenton Tarrant, Adolf Hitler and Jesus Christ, among others, before going on a rampage.
A Change.org petition to ban the game has reached more than 3,800 signatures so far, after people condemned it for being ‘hate speech’ and branded the developers ‘proud Nazis’.
It is understood that a thousand people have already paid £12 to download the game, which was made available in February this year.
Although released before the New Zealand attack, an update added an Australian character called Brent T, who appears to be the shooter.

Set in 2028, the game says Jesus Christ has teamed up with caricatures of famous right-wing figures including Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin and Benito Mussolini.
Their aim is to ‘free the people from the social media matrix and ultimately the grasp of the tyrannical Jew World Order and its supreme overlord’.
One scenario in the game asks players to stop climate change activists who have ‘seized’ Tower Bridge, London, while a second tells users to attack ‘alien terrorists’ who are ‘storming the shores of France’.
Former US President Barack Obama and Speaker of the US House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi can also be targeted in the twisted game, along with social justice campaigners, so-called fake news journalists and baby killers.
Writing on the Change.org petition, one social media user said the game is ‘appalling’.
‘Who in their right mind created this? Killing LGBTQ people? Using Jesus? He loves everyone no matter who they are,’ they said.

A second person said: ‘I’m signing because this video game promotes the hate and genocide of a group of people who deserve our support instead.’
Another added: ‘This goes against everything Jesus stood for. He does not need defending, but I am tired of the LGBTQ community being persecuted.’
And a fourth person wrote: ‘It’s a disgrace to see people joking about the killing of LGBTQ folks. It’s not funny nor should it be turned into a game.
‘This kind of behaviour is dangerous and no sane person would support the creation of this game.’
In a Reddit forum, users have described it as a ‘wholesome game’ about ‘fighting degeneracy’.
Another said it was about Jesus ‘coming back to Earth scorched by socialism and religious fanatics. I hear the liberal screeching’.

MailOnline has contacted the game’s developers to ask why the game was made.
On its website, the game claims it is a ‘parody’ that ‘satirises modern political culture’.
It also says the developers, and all those associated with the game, ‘do not engage in, encourage or promote unlawful violence or physical harm’, and ‘attacks on any group based on race, religion, disability, gender, sexual orientation, national origin, or any other characteristic’.
It also claims that any similarities between the game’s characters and real-world figures are ‘purely coincidental’.
Tarrant, who has been accused of killing 51 people at a New Zealand mosque, has been charged with murder and terrorism.
He flashed a white power symbol during a court hearing, pictured, and has published a 74-page far-right manifesto online.
