At no point did I expect what he was making. I think I just assumed it was book binding?

Lads, he is not making a book.

[ygmtwr-atrus]

I know enough about book binding I assumed he was making a belt, or kink gear? But that is NOT what he is making.

[arachnid-party]

IVE BEEN LOOKING FOR THIS FOR AGES

[obscuritory]

(Sound in the video is NSFW.)

In 1998, Panasonic Interactive Media released Secret Writer’s Society, an educational game that teaches kids how to write. But because of a horrible problem, under the right circumstances in the Macintosh version, the game’s text-to-speech feature would read a list of obscenities.

Unbelievably, it took a few months for anyone to notice this. There’s some dispute about what caused this: Panasonic says it was a bug involving the game’s swear filter, while anti-corporate activist group RTMark claims it was an act of deliberate, internal sabotage meant to raise awareness about the dangers of outsourcing education to a computer game.

This version of Secret Writer’s Society was pulled, and it has been missing for the past 20 years… but this week, I got a copy. And now you can play it too!

Read the full article on The Obscuritory for the full story about this game, as well as a link to a downloadable copy via the Internet Archive.

imagine being the kid that discovered this. your friends would think you’re a fucking wizard

[intercal]

I get the feeling that the “glitch in the obscenity filter” is most likely

[obscuritory]

A few people poked around with the program, and it seems like yes, it’s a bug. There’s no noticeable signs of tampering in the code, and viewing the program’s memory shows that the list of swear words and the written text are kept very close together. There’s likely some sort of memory overflow happening (credit to @rrszz on Twitter for noticing this):

(…“SHITBIRD”?)

In a statement to The Independent, Panasonic’s Elizabeth Olsen said that the company thought they had tested the swear filter, “but evidently we didn’t test it well enough.”

If sabotage was involved, it’s possible that somebody intentionally ignored or un-fixed the bug. But there’s no way to confirm that.

[obscuritory]

Folks! I have an update. It was not sabotaged. There was no anonymous programmer. It really was a bug.

RTMark co-founder Igor Vamos confirmed to me via email that “The bug had such a deliberate appearance; it would have been a crying shame to not pile on with additional layers of provocative story.”

There we have it. It was just the absolute worst bug ever in an educational game that was so bad it forced the developer to shut down.

[shayproxy]

This is so cool that someone reverse engineered this software and found the truth about this. I can’t imagine what the software developers who worked on that must feel about that bug lmao 🤦‍♀️🙅‍♀️

Can't express how stress free being open minded is.

Some lesbians use he/him? Oh cool.

Some people have people inside their head and sometimes it's fictional chars? Sick your brains like a pirate ship they're all working to run.

Some people like being treated like a pet dog? Bark bark bro.

Being fat isn't unhealthy but a perfectly normal type of body to have? Kinda beautiful how different we can all be.

Something doesn't make any fucking sense? Cool an opportunity to learn. And even if I can't figure it out it's cool we still have mysteries today.

[owenthetokencishet]

It's just... idk man. People are weird. Being a person is weird. Society is weird. The universe is weird. Rather than having to "normalize" everything, just accept that some people are weird. So are you. Nothing is normal. the rules are all made up. I once saw a Klingon pushing a baby stroller down the street in toronto. The world is a weird place, man. Just roll with it.
