Grand Theft Auto comes to mind...

Plague Inc...

Yes this. The hypocrisy of the gatekeepers is infuriating. Let’s not forget that almost all popular games are mass murder simulators. One of the most popular kids games is a dog fighting game.

Now, I’m not advocating to remove those. I like games, but let’s not pretend that somehow calling an app after a molecule is worse.

Can you even call something “Arsenic”?

I'm calling dibs on the dating app named chloroform, chloroform-e, and chloroforme.

Rohypnol is another possible name for a social app or something you use for late night shopping.

I posit that it is capriciousness, not hypocrisy.

This is really great point I hadn't considered. They're applying their rules selectively and inconsistently.

Drug mafia sounds like something that should fall under this category.. but I don't see how Trivia Crack would unless they are showcasing drugs on their logo like Amphetamine.

I also don't remember plague inc showcasing any substance abuse, but I could be wrong.
