Italian politics had its liveliest day ever, after a virtual meeting was hijacked by porn of Tifa Lockhart from Final Fantasy VII and Xiangling from Genshin Impact.
It started during their virtual sitting, as Nobel Prize winner Giorgio Parisi was about to be introduced. Just as he was, though, the Italian Zoom Call was taken over by a user named Alex Spence, who suddenly shifted it to presentation mode, showing Tifa Lockhart getting it on in a porn scene that could only be described as “non-canon”.
However, as is always the case with politics, the lawmakers weren’t quite so fast to react to it, session host and Five Star Movement Senator Maria Laura Mantovani continued to introduced as 113 live viewers watched everyone’s PS1 era crush get railed, with improved visual fidelity thanks to the release of Final Fantasy VII Remake.
UPDATE: The internet has embraced Tifa as a mascot of Italy.
While a widely-circulated version of the clip sees the feed cut off there, Dagospia (NSFW warning) seems to have a feed used for Senato TV, which actually shows the senators directly calling out the hijacker, who prepares a follow-up act in the form of Genshin Impact porn featuring the character Xiangling.
Eventually they managed to cut away from the video, and the VOD of the meeting was edited to remove any and all footage of the horizontal tango.
It looks as though this was the work of hackers, who managed to get into the Zoom call to display their own screens. Similar behavior was reported during the Epic v Apple trial, with children getting into the Zoom call to beg for Fortnite to be cleared of wrongdoing.
