Wikipedia Wrote:Frag is a computer and video game term originating from the word fragging, a term indicating to kill an unpopular superior officer with a fragmentation grenade.Nice, eh?
And "gib" doesn't sound so nice either if you think about it. More like butcher's waste.
"Frag" and "gib" distance the player from their fictional actions. There are no polite options for describing what is occurring in this game. Call it a frag, kill, whatever you like it's still killing because that is partially the objective of the game. Suiciding can be replaced sensibly by respawning.

No because I have no personal experience with it. If I or a relative of mine were the victim of gun violence I would surely have an emotional reaction and likely wouldn't play this game.
