A new video game that features Americans violently fighting a Nazi takeover of the U.S. is being attacked on social media as “a hysterical leftist power fantasy” created in response to real-life neo-Nazi protests.The game publisher, Bethesda, denied any partisan intent in the video game’s theme, saying, “We don’t feel it’s a reach for us to say Nazis are bad.”

Indiana’s Supreme Court has ruled that it’s illegal for adults to send sexual text messages to 16-year-olds, even though it’s legal to have sex with them. In its 5-0 ruling, the court reinstated charges against a 40-year-old man who sexted a 16-year-old girl, but acknowledg­ed that Indiana’s sexting laws are “inconsiste­nt” with its low age of consent.The discrepanc­y, the court said, was “a matter for the legislatur­e.”
