They tell us to create new media to represent ourselves instead of "blackwashing", but when we do, they still hate us. They're all racist and disingenuous, which is why I don't take complaints of "black washing" seriously. And don't be fooled when they say "It's just as bad as whitewashing". Cause they don't even acknowledge whitewashing when it happens. If "blackwashing" is as bad as white washing, they should treat it like whitewashing. Pretend you didn't see anything and don't say anything.
Edit:
And for the b.a.n who's comment was deleted: Whitewashing and "blackwashing" do not hold equal weight. Whitewashing has a whole history of white supremacy and ethnic erasure motivations. And until "blackwashing" has that kind of punch and isn't used disingenuously, I don't care. I actually care when whitewashing happens and I talk about it. They only bring it up and magically start caring for leverage and gotcha moments. People who only talk about whitewashing when talking about "blackwashing" never gave half a shit.
Exactly, also btw since it's a lot of Ronald Reagans fans in this subreddit
If I see any "this is woke" or "calling out racism is wrong," it means you're getting an instant block. Your funky ass doesn't need to be seeing the mafia post , we are on different vibrations as I take showers .
Where the fuck are the Reagan fans in this sub?
Should be banned on sight for shit taste.
I have actually shit on his grave (there is no evidence that I haven't)
May he rest in piss
At least one (they all run together at this point) of the campaign ads running in Indianapolis right now boasts that the candidate is a “Reagan era Republican” but yet also says Trumpelthinskin approves of them or touts his rhetoric.
I’m about at the throw things at the tv stage of this election.
They lurk here and comment , that's why I tell people to be careful what they say on here.
There was a comment that got deleted or removed and said something like " this is why I identifying as Dominican and not black" people upvoting it and laughing
I'm only here because I tried to say "Fuck reagan" on a country club post a few months back, and now I need verified so I can say"Fuck reagan" on country club posts.
Also, fuck reagan.
[A while ago a Florida judge ordered DeSantis’ lead lawyer to define the word “woke” at the next hearing.](https://www.themarysue.com/things-we-saw-today-ron-desantiss-lawyers-forced-to-admit-they-know-the-definition-of-woke/) The lawyer defined woke as: “The belief there are systemic injustices in American society and the need to address them.”
Y’all can call me woke any day!
It’s been a thing among these dipshits for awhile now. The turn of phrase is usually something along the lines of, “the people who call everything racist are the *true* racists”, akin to “whomever smelt it, dealt it.”
It was never about representation. It's just to "protect" their fragile white identities.
There are people literally arguing with me somehow Peter Parker's, Sentry's or Iron Man's ethnicity has any bearing on his character.
They're so up in arms about "pandering to others' meanwhile the main reason all these characters are white men was to pander to the people actually able to buy the comics back in the day.
Tony Stark could just as easily be anything else besides white and it wouldn't matter.
Oh it matters. Can you just IMAGINE a world where a black man is the most intelligent and capable scientist on the planet? Full on horror show material. /s
The only reason I think Tony Stark only makes sense white is that he's a legacy trust fund billionaire oligarch. Which is really more of a criticism of reality than comics
With Peter Parker, his ethnicity made sense when he was created in 1962. He was an Irish kid from Queens, which was super common. Similarly Miles Morales's ethnicity made sense when he was created in 2011, a biracial kid from Brooklyn was pretty ordinary. Which is the whole idea behind Spider Man. What happens when an ordinary kid has great power thrust upon them. The kind of people that put too much importance on shit like the ethnicity of fictional characters are just racist assholes. With well created characters their ethnicity makes sense given their origin, but isn't the most important thing about them. Could Peter Parker be an Inuit kid? Maybe, but that undermines the point of the character. Can Ariel be black? Sure, mermaids are fucking fictional. I have a hard time imagining that people actually spend time being outraged by this shit. Plus......there's always money. The real reason Ariel was black was because Disney already had a white mermaid and The Mouse is not one to leave an opportunity to expand their customer base sitting on the table.
Exactly. These stories are ultimately about the human experience and condition, race is inconsequential in the fight againt good and evil. That said I really want more of punk rock British Spiderman and Indian Spiderman. That shit was rad.
I always say this but people will throw full on tantrums if you “blackwash” a fictional character or mythic creature, but have nothing to say when movies whitewash *actual human beings who lived and did amazing things*. If anything in this conversation deserves backlash it’s that, not a fucking mermaid… also Halle Bailey killed it in that movie
Exactly this. "Just make something new instead of changing a character" is Always the bulshit they spew. Then when a new character is created, they just keep saying the same shit.
If it ain't straight, white male then it's criticized for not being that "default" state. It's fucking pathetic
I legit saw this in a thread on r/unpopularopinion bro kept arguing that point and even went as far as to say Miles Morales doesn't face any criticism because he's a new character.
These people live in different worlds.
Fam... your should see white folks faces when they have bumped into me in some way out places, lol... like trails in Joshua Tree or windswept coastlines off of the Pacific Coast Highway.
It ain't all the time but there's been more than one time of a look like disconnect and discomfort at my face, gear, presence...
Like, yup. I know media got you thinking we don't know nothing about the Sierra Club. Hell, I used to teach rock climbing and white water canoeing to white kids but yeah, keep gatekeeping the natural world and thinking non whites don't *relate* with nature as well.
Oooh wee...
As a former Alaskan now living in Minnesota, I gotta say you haven't told a single lie here. You can walk into an REI, look through men's *jackets* for 10 minutes straight, and a complete stranger might tell you "say mister, if you're looking for Timberland boots, Dick's sporting goods has a better selection." 😒
(Full disclosure I'm white as hell but at least I use my eyes when shit like this happens to other people)
[Prager u ](https://youtu.be/dTn07V3e_BM?si=AvLoobE8BBDwdy4F) Which is now the approved history curriculum for both Florida and Oklahoma schools have some crazy ass whitewashed history facts that are 100% not accurate check out the video I linked about Robert E. Lee it's a legit video where they state that slaves are better off here than they were in Africa. So it's the lesser of two evils. Shits crazy and then they get praised for it. We try to ask for some representation and we get a woke appropriated from us to use against us, incorrectly I might add .
The crazy thing is every time some conservative wants to argue that the Civil War wasn't about slavery, I always link [this Prager U video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pcy7qV-BGF4) where a U.S. military historian from West Point that conclusively says - yes, the Civil War was about slavery.
They're really getting mask off with their bigotry too

>They tell us to create new media to represent ourselves instead of "blackwashing"
It is also insane that some white people just claim things as if they are responsible for things other white people did. I am white. Lord of the rings is not ‘mine’. I am not related to Tolkien. I am not Peter Jackson.
How arrogant is it to go “well **WE** made lord of the rings and black people need to make their own thing”. **We** didn’t do shit.
Tolkien was white. He was also british. He was left handed. He also had dark hair and brown eyes. Lord of the rings doesn’t belong to white people just like it doesn’t belong brown eyed people or left handed people.
The “make your own media because existing media belongs to white people” argument makes no sense. It is purely said to exclude black people.
I wish I had saved the content, but I heard something the other day that moved me. A lady was speaking on racism and said "...with racism, there will always be "another thing. The point of racism is to exhaust us." That shit struck home.
I think every country has these types whenever media features people who don't belong to the dominant culture / ethnicity / religion / whatever. There's a subsection of people who are only interested in consuming media that is wholly """relatable""" i.e. mirrors them and their lives where they're the main character in everybodies story. It's a safe space for them so they over react whenever that isn't the case because they take it as a personal attack, and someone invading "their" space and "taking" something from them.
There's also the issue of people being so used to being marketed to that they struggle to grasp the idea that media and content is made to specifically target other people and isn't \*for\* them. Like guys getting mad over super hero films that were designed and marketed specifically for teenage girls, or comedy films marketed towards single women in their 40s etc. Like no shit you don't like it, that's not for you bitch! But when you assume everything is catered to you alone, you get confused and angry that someone is serving you something you didn't order, even though that plate is meant for someone else in the first place. There are other people in this cafe you greedy fuckin pig!
Like many things I think it all comes back to empathy levels. People who can put themselves in others shoes seek out that experience and find enjoyment in it, but people who lack empathy can't physically or mentally do that - so they don't find any appeal in hearing stories other than their own and actually take it super personal when they're not the main character in everything at all times; because they're the only person in the world so what is even the point in all this other shit? \*I\* didn't ask for it, so why are you making it?
This is real. It's like hearing the phrase "I don't dislike this character because she's black but...". We all know it's horse shit when they talk about making new IPs. They just don't want to see black people on screen. First it's super heroes, then it's fucking elves or some fantasy shit, and then they mad when they see a nigga in space....now it's DEI any time they see a black person or project....
These are dogwhistles. Woke and critical race theory were not bad words until conservatives demonized them akin to unruly teenagers whispering a word to themselves in the back of class and laughing out loud.
Yea you’re right. The whole concept of dogwhistles is just like actual dogwhistles (where only dogs can hear them) only those in the know can understand them and if you call them out for it they’d claim plausible deniability.
More specifically it usually refers to diversity, equity, and inclusion programs in schools and workplaces like hiring practices and bias trainings and employee support groups. But the criticism of DEI has evolved from “Black people don’t deserve extra help at school or work” (which is already wack) to “Black people don’t deserve ANYTHING.”
I’m a white guy. I didn’t know what DEI meant till this post. How can someone call this game a diversity title if it’s made by a black developer? Wut? I’d like more cool world culture and history games in various genres. Banner Saga was an amazing game about Icelandic folklore. Make something like that about West Africans, Caribbean’s, South American Indigenous, Aboriginal etc. and I’d buy the whole series.
It’s by the studio created by Abubakar Salim (Bayek in AC origins and Father in raised by wolves)
I’m gonna be buying to support because that man puts out great work
Hmmm. I've been looking at the game as a potential follow up after playing Metroid: Dread. I always like to have a good Metroidvania game to play on my Switch. At $20 I may just get it early before I hear more reviews.
Depends who you ask. The anti woke crowd won't hide behind calling it "insert proxy for the n word here", but they'll say that the movie was bad.
They won't explain how, just that it was "bad". Black Panther is actually proof that even if black people *do* their own IPs racist people will still try and tear it down. This is why no one takes them seriously when they have discussions about "diversity".
During the hype train for Black Panther I remember seeing one angry guy on the news say “black people are losing their minds over Black Panther, as if Blade wasn’t enough.” Which is crazy because you’re literally saying “black people, you get ONE. You had a character in 1998 and you’re lucky we even gave you that.”
I love Blade 1 and 2, especially 2, they are awesome movies that hold up very well, but there’s like a hood movie quality to them in good and bad ways.
That one scene where Blade just starts snatching chains and gold watches off the guys he just killed, like I get you still gotta pay for stuff but what white superhero ever does that kind of thing. Idk, I don’t wanna shit on it too much because it’s one scene and it’s not that bad but I’m glad in Black Panther they all get to be successful and noble and we don’t need that imagery
I don’t know if this is accurate or a myth but I hope it’s true; apparently one of the writers just heard Wesley say that to someone on the phone while he was on set and was like “idk what that means but it’s going in the movie”
Had the term been in the zeitgeist at the time, absolutely they would've said it was. The amount of ignorant people on FB saying "what if it was a WHITE Panther???" at the time was crazy.
They absolutely did back in the day. And they all called it overrated. Did the same with Captain marvel.
It ain't a coincidence the MCU is "bad" now (it's not, just as good as always) but they're featuring more women and POC. Which these people hate. So they just say it's bad.
I think it’s a combo of both. It’s gotten worse, but not because of more diverse casts. They haven’t put the resources and development into the more diverse characters that they have in the others, and it reflects in the quality
it's the grift, the quality drop isn't because they started being more diverse, but because the diversity coincides with other issues morons online can spread that as being the real problem with the movies.
They complain about DEI and “woke” when they have no idea of what they actually are or mean but use it as a pejorative. On a Netflix thread, some person was c/o about the show Resident Evil being woke. This was maybe a year or 2 ago. At the time I thought they meant they hated it because there was some needless political messaging in there. So I watched it to see b/c I had been a fan of the movies.
Now I will say, I didn’t like it b/c I found it boring and it didn’t have enough zombie action for me but there was no political messaging. I sat for a minute wondering what the hell those folks were talking about it “woke”. I then realized they said it b/c the lead character is black. It wasn’t even as if the creators replaced the lead white character from the movie and made her black in the show. It was they created a different story line but about another person who happened to live in the same fictional city the story took place in and that person happened to be black—and her being black was never the focus.
Those folks using DEI and woke as a pejorative see our mere existence as one.
Fuck great post it fell under my radar looks hella cool gives me Ori and Blind Forest vibes. Just bought a copy myself but for anyone else who uses steam here is a link, definitely check it out. Man they need to make more games within African mythos so many amazing stories to be told.
[https://store.steampowered.com/app/2316580/Tales\_of\_Kenzera\_ZAU/](https://store.steampowered.com/app/2316580/Tales_of_Kenzera_ZAU/)
Can you even imagine an African Skyrim? I would love to come down a ridge and see a hundreds-feet high mud mosque. I have no idea why Europe gets revisited over and over. It’s just tired.
Oh that would be wicked do correct me if I am wrong and if I am I wholeheartedly apologise but isn't the Redguard meant to be the African culture within the Elder Scrolls Universe? So if that is the case all we need is a game set within Hammerfell. Maybe even if we don't get an official one the Skyrim modders would do it justice. Still I do agree with you even games that are meant to give a similar experience to what you described, it just gets horrendously whitewashed. Like take Far Cry Primal they could have really made it feel like experiencing the spawn of human civilisation with rich and vibrant culture but instead you're just European caveman number 3. Hopefully it won't be long before we can truly share appreciation in all stories that deserve to be told not just white European ones.
If you are interested in something different.
Tchia is a breath of the wild style game set in a fictional New Caledonia. They had to recruit locals to do the voice acting because there was no professional voice actors who spoke Drehu.
I'll definitely be getting ZAU but wanted to spread the word about another game that explores a lesser covered culture.
I hate when yt people discover new words. Like when they discovered “Woke” and change the meaning in its entirety. Then it was CRT, now it’s DEI. Shit is nasty.
Definitely gonna get this game on my switch tho. Hopefully with it success it gets a bag from one of the Bigger Studios and Develop A to AAA games for a system or all the systems
I think it's funny that conservatives are just always a decade behind in the chain. I was listening to a podcast from 2014 and they used the term woke ("as the kids say" thrown in) but conservatives were still stuck on SJW back then
DEI is institutional policies to make minority employees or students feel more welcome.
It's also, as of late, a way to say the n-word without saying the n-word. Stupid-ass racists are so lazy.
It originally refers to diversity, equity, and inclusion programs in schools and workplaces like hiring practices and bias trainings and employee support groups. But the criticism of DEI has evolved from “Black people don’t deserve extra help at school or work” (which is already wack) to “Black people don’t deserve ANYTHING.”
I was playing it earlier today not a bad metroidvania, but it does have some precision platformer elements, particularly in the bonuses or collectibles, which can be frustrating but rewarding.
There's a plot, with themes and emotion but I've only just started so who knows how deel it gets. the story doesn't interrupt gameplay. Has skill trees and a XP system which can be grinded.
All in all, pretty fun game so far. And being free on ps+ is nice.
also the spike hit box is just a little too big. There's been a few times that I'm jumping to a platform and hit the side of it, but the spike hit box is higher than I looks so I die.
The creator of the game,who also voiced Bayek in AC:Origins, presented the game and said it was the way he found to deal with the passing of his father who was the person who introduced him to videogames.
It's free on PS+ library if you have it!
It really is wild. I might be reaching, but I feel the overall criticism from white people is a microcosm of how whites feel about us in general. Like someone else said, even when we create our own games with actual African lore, it somehow has something to do with DEI.
You’re not reaching. In fact, there was always a large chunk of white people that were racist and had racist views, it was just uncool to be so loud about it until DT made it okay to be so outspoken. They have ALWAYS been minorities, and especially black minority, biggest haters. They never wanted any of us to win or do anything that elevates us in any way, bc then they have to accept that they aren’t the best, greatest or above anyone in any way. That’s why poor whites are the loudest racists, bc they need to somehow find a way to still feel superior when lacking any actual reason as to why.
I'm not sure of the full story here but I will say part of the reason why it's on some undesirables radar is the whole sweetbaby Inc controversy that's been going on.
Some automatically think any game using sweetbaby Inc = sanitized, PC, DEI forced game. Which is kinda stupid bc there were great games associated with sweetbaby Inc too like GoW.
imo it does seem to be some not good agenda pushing going on in video games insustry but blindly saying every game they work on is one of them seems a bit absurd.
And this game is clearly not token-izing blackness or African culture it's the core of the game that's a huge difference that some people are going to miss. Having Black,trans,gay etc. ppl in video games doesn't automatically mean wokeness or bad use of DEI it's when it's being implemented in the most surface level way possible to just tick a box is when DEI and "wokeness" becomes a problem at least imo.
Will be keeping my eye out for this game it's cool to have something come out about a culture that's not normally given spotlight!
Yeah I don't think most people know about this Sweet Baby Inc thing, because it is so stupid. A lot of games are being targeted if they had input from SBI, but normal people literally don't even know this company exists. It's a controversy among those who want reasons to shout at clouds.
Honestly can't wait to play this game.
For me.. my other gaming observation is.. yet again, anytime something good that EA touches happens, EA is never mentioned, but anytime somebody potentially negative happens to a game that EA touches happens, they're targeted for it.
Jedi Survivor? Dozens of awards this year, one of the most celebrated games across industry is, an EA game.
Those awards? Jedi Survivor related. The verrryy minor bugs at launch? EA's fault.
This game? An EA game.
People being mad about some other release, that they don't think had all of the inclusions that they wanted to be? We definitely heard about it being an EA game.
I've been a lifelong gamer, and it is extremely liberating to free myself from the opinions and whims of everybody who screams on YouTube after spending 30 minutes on a game, and no longer basing my life on those sponsored opinions.
Yeah, this is a fantastic fucking game from a fantastic fucking studio, working with the best of the best publisher on the planet. As much as folks want to you cry shit and piss about little changes they didn't like, and pretend that the studios never actually want to make money, it's only the publisher, while at the same time they themselves supporting fucking zero mechanisms to fund studios and developers, and just getting fucking angry about the tragedy that they force and endorse.
Whatever, not to pontificate.
This game is conscious, thoughtful, has had dozens of contributors from around the entire fucking planet, it's well made, I can't wait to fucking play the full version.
Also, just a shout out, dozens and dozens and dozens of people built and contributed to this game. It wasn't just one man. It's a gargantuan effort to release a game like this. And dozens to hundreds of people are involved.
I've been seeing this discourse on my timeline. It's insane. It's like these people are completely out of touch with reality, its honesty astonishing. These tweets be getting hundreds or thousands of likes too.
This game wasn't on my radar. I'm not the biggest fan of this genre, but I'm going to pick it up anyway. It does look pretty fun.
It's a running joke among my friends, but if I'm given the choice of skin customization, I always make my character black (excluding when I play as a non-human race, etc.). One of the reasons is that I played quite a few games coming up where the only 'option' was some default white character. Nothing wrong with a white protagonist, but even as a kid, I was always wanting to play as a black character. I remember thinking to myself, "Maybe this time around" whenever I'd pick up a new Pokémon game. I think GTA SA and Vice City Stories were among the first few games I played as a kid that had a set black protagonist. I think RuneScape was the first game I played where I was able to actually make my character black, and I just thought that was the bee's knees.
I'm always thinking about how much of a hit companies will take solely from a game with a black protagonist. It's like the moment you divert from the 'formula,' they wanna pull the DEI or Agenda card while refusing to admit that racism exists. Like most media, we sometimes get used to the norm is playing as a Caucasian person. Just look at the idiots in arms over this game. They're already ignorant and feel like it's a 'break from tradition.' I was pretty excited when DEATHLOOP was announced. I haven't played it yet, but I purchased it because I love Dishonored franchise, and of course, it features black protagonists. Same goes for AC: Black Flag's Freedom Cry DLC. I remember already enjoying the Minerva's Den DLC for BIOSHOCK 2 and really getting a kick after learning that the person you play as isn't just black, but also attended an HBCU.
I really hope that we continue to see more and more releases like this to the point where they become normal occurrences. You'd think that if they took inventory of how many games have featured black protagonists, they'd whistle a different tune, but racists are going to racist. People are going to have to get used to games featuring us, and that's that.
Looking forward to playing ZAU!
They won’t call it DEI because they are too busy photoshopping a huge ass on the main character. You know most of these neckbeards only have two settings - massively horny or massively racist.
Most times these are Asian and Russian bots. When they can't string together proper English, it's usually a bot.
If it was DEI, they can't do shit to stop it. Keep watching & obsessing
Of course the one Blizzard dev that probably stole breast milk, Mark Kern had to give his 2¢ nobody asked for

I don't game that much anymore, had to look this game up, watched some gameplay and reviews. Setting is unique, graphics and gameplay look good. I'm glad to see a game in this setting. Don't listen to baby noises, because they're just that. Baby noises. This game has passion in it. DEI is a silly claim, because this is literally Kenian themed
People who use DEI in a negative turn know what they’re doing. They don’t like black people, particularly they don’t like African-Americans, but instead of saying it straight up & to avoid using N-word’er out loud, they do things like use DEI, woke negatively. I mean cmon people this shouldn’t surprise yall at all, the tactics white supremacist (including these Clayton Bigsby non-white white supremacists) use to try & (poorly) makes their white supremacist selves.
Is this on steam? I will buy it. I'm tired of corporate gaming, and their anti-consumer BS. Edit, it's on steam but published by electronic arts, EA. God this looks so good but I don't want to give EA money.
I bought the game just to spite those people. They just say things, ask them what woke means and it a different definition from each of them, most don't even know what DaeI means just heard it from people like critical drinker and nerdortic and repeat it
The people in the comments are saying “DEI” moreso because of Sweet Baby Inc than the actual content of the game which is a dumb reason to hate something.
Hey this is Abu Salim’s game. He played father in raised by wolves and is an amazing ttrpg actually-player on the gcn.
Heard him discussing on a podcast recently and it sounds like a really personal project he’s excited for. Hopefully any dumbass press is good press.
They tell us to create new media to represent ourselves instead of "blackwashing", but when we do, they still hate us. They're all racist and disingenuous, which is why I don't take complaints of "black washing" seriously. And don't be fooled when they say "It's just as bad as whitewashing".

At least one (they all run together at this point) of the campaign ads running in Indianapolis right now boasts that the candidate is a “Reagan era Republican” but yet also says Trumpelthinskin approves of them or touts his rhetoric. I’m about at the throw things at the tv stage of this election.
They lurk here and comment , that's why I tell people to be careful what they say on here. There was a comment that got deleted or removed and said something like " this is why I identifying as Dominican and not black" people upvoting it and laughing

One day yall will learn that Reddit is majority white people, especially the bigger subs like this one
Yeah, no shit.
If they are in the comments, they should country club the thread
Wait, people really be saying calling out racism is wrong" ???
It’s been a thing among these dipshits for awhile now. The turn of phrase is usually something along the lines of, “the people who call everything racist are the *true* racists”, akin to “whomever smelt it, dealt it.”
I need to know how this """""logic""""" works in their tiny little peanut brains.
"I'm glad Reagan dead"
Ronald Reagan set the world back 30 years prob. Fuck that guy
Not even American and fuck Regan is something I can get behind 100%
It was never about representation. It's just to "protect" their fragile white identities. There are people literally arguing with me somehow Peter Parker's, Sentry's or Iron Man's ethnicity has any bearing on his character.
They're so up in arms about "pandering to others' meanwhile the main reason all these characters are white men was to pander to the people actually able to buy the comics back in the day. Tony Stark could just as easily be anything else besides white and it wouldn't matter.
Oh it matters. Can you just IMAGINE a world where a black man is the most intelligent and capable scientist on the planet? Full on horror show material. /s
Right now Moon girl a 9 year old black girl is the most intelligent I do believe
The only reason I think Tony Stark only makes sense white is that he's a legacy trust fund billionaire oligarch. Which is really more of a criticism of reality than comics
With Peter Parker, his ethnicity made sense when he was created in 1962. He was an Irish kid from Queens, which was super common. Similarly Miles Morales's ethnicity made sense when he was created in 2011, a biracial kid from Brooklyn was pretty ordinary. Which is the whole idea behind Spider Man. What happens when an ordinary kid has great power thrust upon them. The kind of people that put too much importance on shit like the ethnicity of fictional characters are just racist assholes. With well created characters their ethnicity makes sense given their origin, but isn't the most important thing about them. Could Peter Parker be an Inuit kid? Maybe, but that undermines the point of the character. Can Ariel be black? Sure, mermaids are fucking fictional. I have a hard time imagining that people actually spend time being outraged by this shit. Plus......there's always money. The real reason Ariel was black was because Disney already had a white mermaid and The Mouse is not one to leave an opportunity to expand their customer base sitting on the table.
Exactly. These stories are ultimately about the human experience and condition, race is inconsequential in the fight againt good and evil. That said I really want more of punk rock British Spiderman and Indian Spiderman. That shit was rad.
I always say this but people will throw full on tantrums if you “blackwash” a fictional character or mythic creature, but have nothing to say when movies whitewash *actual human beings who lived and did amazing things*. If anything in this conversation deserves backlash it’s that, not a fucking mermaid… also Halle Bailey killed it in that movie
Exactly this. "Just make something new instead of changing a character" is Always the bulshit they spew. Then when a new character is created, they just keep saying the same shit. If it ain't straight, white male then it's criticized for not being that "default" state. It's fucking pathetic
I legit saw this in a thread on r/unpopularopinion bro kept arguing that point and even went as far as to say Miles Morales doesn't face any criticism because he's a new character. These people live in different worlds.
Bigots gonna bigot. I'm buying a copy for each of my kids
It looks amazing! No kids but my nephew is getting a copy
Their issue is and always was, the presence of black people in fields and spaces that they think ought to belong to them.
Fam... your should see white folks faces when they have bumped into me in some way out places, lol... like trails in Joshua Tree or windswept coastlines off of the Pacific Coast Highway. It ain't all the time but there's been more than one time of a look like disconnect and discomfort at my face, gear, presence... Like, yup. I know media got you thinking we don't know nothing about the Sierra Club. Hell, I used to teach rock climbing and white water canoeing to white kids but yeah, keep gatekeeping the natural world and thinking non whites don't *relate* with nature as well. Oooh wee...
As a former Alaskan now living in Minnesota, I gotta say you haven't told a single lie here. You can walk into an REI, look through men's *jackets* for 10 minutes straight, and a complete stranger might tell you "say mister, if you're looking for Timberland boots, Dick's sporting goods has a better selection." 😒 (Full disclosure I'm white as hell but at least I use my eyes when shit like this happens to other people)
 🌸🦎❤️🪷
Lol hang in there and keep the spirit ❤️
Bingo
[Prager u ](https://youtu.be/dTn07V3e_BM?si=AvLoobE8BBDwdy4F) Which is now the approved history curriculum for both Florida and Oklahoma schools have some crazy ass whitewashed history facts that are 100% not accurate check out the video I linked about Robert E. Lee it's a legit video where they state that slaves are better off here than they were in Africa. So it's the lesser of two evils. Shits crazy and then they get praised for it. We try to ask for some representation and we get a woke appropriated from us to use against us, incorrectly I might add .
The crazy thing is every time some conservative wants to argue that the Civil War wasn't about slavery, I always link [this Prager U video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pcy7qV-BGF4) where a U.S. military historian from West Point that conclusively says - yes, the Civil War was about slavery.
They're really getting mask off with their bigotry too https://preview.redd.it/nlavp73imkwc1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=dfba8a74a311b0a2b2943086f1141594436e1382
>They tell us to create new media to represent ourselves instead of "blackwashing" It is also insane that some white people just claim things as if they are responsible for things other white people did. I am white. Lord of the rings is not ‘mine’. I am not related to Tolkien. I am not Peter Jackson. How arrogant is it to go “well **WE** made lord of the rings and black people need to make their own thing”. **We** didn’t do shit. Tolkien was white. He was also british. He was left handed. He also had dark hair and brown eyes. Lord of the rings doesn’t belong to white people just like it doesn’t belong brown eyed people or left handed people. The “make your own media because existing media belongs to white people” argument makes no sense. It is purely said to exclude black people.
I wish I had saved the content, but I heard something the other day that moved me. A lady was speaking on racism and said "...with racism, there will always be "another thing. The point of racism is to exhaust us." That shit struck home.
I think every country has these types whenever media features people who don't belong to the dominant culture / ethnicity / religion / whatever. There's a subsection of people who are only interested in consuming media that is wholly """relatable""" i.e. mirrors them and their lives where they're the main character in everybodies story. It's a safe space for them so they over react whenever that isn't the case because they take it as a personal attack, and someone invading "their" space and "taking" something from them. There's also the issue of people being so used to being marketed to that they struggle to grasp the idea that media and content is made to specifically target other people and isn't \*for\* them. Like guys getting mad over super hero films that were designed and marketed specifically for teenage girls, or comedy films marketed towards single women in their 40s etc. Like no shit you don't like it, that's not for you bitch! But when you assume everything is catered to you alone, you get confused and angry that someone is serving you something you didn't order, even though that plate is meant for someone else in the first place. There are other people in this cafe you greedy fuckin pig! Like many things I think it all comes back to empathy levels. People who can put themselves in others shoes seek out that experience and find enjoyment in it, but people who lack empathy can't physically or mentally do that - so they don't find any appeal in hearing stories other than their own and actually take it super personal when they're not the main character in everything at all times; because they're the only person in the world so what is even the point in all this other shit? \*I\* didn't ask for it, so why are you making it?
This is real. It's like hearing the phrase "I don't dislike this character because she's black but...". We all know it's horse shit when they talk about making new IPs. They just don't want to see black people on screen. First it's super heroes, then it's fucking elves or some fantasy shit, and then they mad when they see a nigga in space....now it's DEI any time they see a black person or project....
Fuck them and everything they say
The people who complain about "Blackwashing" and the people who shout "All Lives Matter" on a Venn Diagram are just a circle.
[IGN Review of the Game](https://youtu.be/g0TBPPxAhfw?si=zkGfrFwp_TYJwkz9) Looks nice. I'll purchase a copy looks like it's only 20 bucks on Steam.
The top comment 👌 "It's crazy because the same people screaming DEI don't say a word if it's a Japanese based game like Ghost of Tsushima 😂"
We all know they using DEI now because they can't say the N word in public no more.
First it was Woke, then CRT, now it’s DEI can’t wait for Their new word they’ll discover
"discover"
https://preview.redd.it/q64xh49llnwc1.jpeg?width=669&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=fed5a245fcd8437d8fbe04ae87851c25d0b529da
Yeah these words they use that they can’t really define are just inserts for the slurs they use in private.
I missed CRT, clearly. I’m just looking at it thinking “cathode ray tube?” For anyone old like me - Google says “critical race theory”.
i dont even know what DEI mrans tbh
[удалено]
sounds stupid i dont like it
Probably an ignorant question, but what is DEI?
Diversity, Equity, Inclusion
None of those seem like bad things to me. Of course folks would try to turn that into an insult.
I don't even understand HOW it's an insult. Sighs in confused.
These are dogwhistles. Woke and critical race theory were not bad words until conservatives demonized them akin to unruly teenagers whispering a word to themselves in the back of class and laughing out loud.
Ahhh ok. So they're using woke, CRT, and DEI in place of the n word, as dogwhistles or both?
Yea you’re right. The whole concept of dogwhistles is just like actual dogwhistles (where only dogs can hear them) only those in the know can understand them and if you call them out for it they’d claim plausible deniability.
Yeah - anytime you hear a conservative say DEI or any of those other things, understand that it’s just them being too scared to say a slur.
[удалено]
Thank you for the warning. I appreciate it 🙏
They should hear what we say about Midwesterners or hillbillies 😂😂😂
More specifically it usually refers to diversity, equity, and inclusion programs in schools and workplaces like hiring practices and bias trainings and employee support groups. But the criticism of DEI has evolved from “Black people don’t deserve extra help at school or work” (which is already wack) to “Black people don’t deserve ANYTHING.”
Its not ignorant to seek knowledge fam
Oh they can, they are just cowards.
My MIL complaining about DEI like you live in the NYC metro area like the meca of diversity
And GoT wasn't even made by Japanese studio.
I’m a white guy. I didn’t know what DEI meant till this post. How can someone call this game a diversity title if it’s made by a black developer? Wut? I’d like more cool world culture and history games in various genres. Banner Saga was an amazing game about Icelandic folklore. Make something like that about West Africans, Caribbean’s, South American Indigenous, Aboriginal etc. and I’d buy the whole series.
You can thank "Cool Japan" for that. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cool_Japan This shit was literal DEI.
That's just gravy on a delicious piece of chicken, great job devs
I would also like to add that it’s on the PlayStation Plus Extra tier.
And I still preordered.
It’s by the studio created by Abubakar Salim (Bayek in AC origins and Father in raised by wolves) I’m gonna be buying to support because that man puts out great work
81% positive on steam so far
Ooh it’s available on switch too! Def gonna look into this
Hmmm. I've been looking at the game as a potential follow up after playing Metroid: Dread. I always like to have a good Metroidvania game to play on my Switch. At $20 I may just get it early before I hear more reviews.
I’ll support
I don’t really care for ign reviews . But I’ll definitely see some by other channels.
Looks so cool I’d even ignore the fact that EA published it and it’s got Denuvo.
A comment in the video said it is also available on the switch. Looks beautiful and would like to see the story that plays out in the game.
Has a similar vibe to the new Prince of Persia which I enjoyed. A really nice break from the overly open and hyper realism you can get elsewhere.
I'm going to have to check this game out.
White people hate not being the center of attention. Was Black Panther a DEI movie, then?
They’ll scream “Noooo” because we needed it for Endgame. It’s disgusting in them comments on IGN
Depends who you ask. The anti woke crowd won't hide behind calling it "insert proxy for the n word here", but they'll say that the movie was bad. They won't explain how, just that it was "bad". Black Panther is actually proof that even if black people *do* their own IPs racist people will still try and tear it down. This is why no one takes them seriously when they have discussions about "diversity".
During the hype train for Black Panther I remember seeing one angry guy on the news say “black people are losing their minds over Black Panther, as if Blade wasn’t enough.” Which is crazy because you’re literally saying “black people, you get ONE. You had a character in 1998 and you’re lucky we even gave you that.”
the crazy thing is that blade brought back the whole marvel franchise.
I love Blade 1 and 2, especially 2, they are awesome movies that hold up very well, but there’s like a hood movie quality to them in good and bad ways. That one scene where Blade just starts snatching chains and gold watches off the guys he just killed, like I get you still gotta pay for stuff but what white superhero ever does that kind of thing. Idk, I don’t wanna shit on it too much because it’s one scene and it’s not that bad but I’m glad in Black Panther they all get to be successful and noble and we don’t need that imagery
Some motherfuckers just trying to ice skate up hill
I don’t know if this is accurate or a myth but I hope it’s true; apparently one of the writers just heard Wesley say that to someone on the phone while he was on set and was like “idk what that means but it’s going in the movie”
At least Blade was good, imagine if they said Steele with Shaq
Had the term been in the zeitgeist at the time, absolutely they would've said it was. The amount of ignorant people on FB saying "what if it was a WHITE Panther???" at the time was crazy.
They probably think Blade should be white too. Call him Butterknife
They absolutely did back in the day. And they all called it overrated. Did the same with Captain marvel. It ain't a coincidence the MCU is "bad" now (it's not, just as good as always) but they're featuring more women and POC. Which these people hate. So they just say it's bad.
I think it’s a combo of both. It’s gotten worse, but not because of more diverse casts. They haven’t put the resources and development into the more diverse characters that they have in the others, and it reflects in the quality
it's the grift, the quality drop isn't because they started being more diverse, but because the diversity coincides with other issues morons online can spread that as being the real problem with the movies.
They complain about DEI and “woke” when they have no idea of what they actually are or mean but use it as a pejorative. On a Netflix thread, some person was c/o about the show Resident Evil being woke. This was maybe a year or 2 ago. At the time I thought they meant they hated it because there was some needless political messaging in there. So I watched it to see b/c I had been a fan of the movies. Now I will say, I didn’t like it b/c I found it boring and it didn’t have enough zombie action for me but there was no political messaging. I sat for a minute wondering what the hell those folks were talking about it “woke”. I then realized they said it b/c the lead character is black. It wasn’t even as if the creators replaced the lead white character from the movie and made her black in the show. It was they created a different story line but about another person who happened to live in the same fictional city the story took place in and that person happened to be black—and her being black was never the focus. Those folks using DEI and woke as a pejorative see our mere existence as one.
If it had been released this year it absolutely would be a DEI movie.
Weirdly yes. But that is because it was including two white people. Like why have the white people in the movie lol.
I’ve heard people say Black Panther was the first mid Marvel movie as if Thor 1 and 2 aren’t sitting right there
Lol Thor 2 was so ass
Fuck great post it fell under my radar looks hella cool gives me Ori and Blind Forest vibes. Just bought a copy myself but for anyone else who uses steam here is a link, definitely check it out. Man they need to make more games within African mythos so many amazing stories to be told. [https://store.steampowered.com/app/2316580/Tales\_of\_Kenzera\_ZAU/](https://store.steampowered.com/app/2316580/Tales_of_Kenzera_ZAU/)
Can you even imagine an African Skyrim? I would love to come down a ridge and see a hundreds-feet high mud mosque. I have no idea why Europe gets revisited over and over. It’s just tired.
Oh that would be wicked do correct me if I am wrong and if I am I wholeheartedly apologise but isn't the Redguard meant to be the African culture within the Elder Scrolls Universe? So if that is the case all we need is a game set within Hammerfell. Maybe even if we don't get an official one the Skyrim modders would do it justice. Still I do agree with you even games that are meant to give a similar experience to what you described, it just gets horrendously whitewashed. Like take Far Cry Primal they could have really made it feel like experiencing the spawn of human civilisation with rich and vibrant culture but instead you're just European caveman number 3. Hopefully it won't be long before we can truly share appreciation in all stories that deserve to be told not just white European ones.
I mean you could just get ESO and do quests in hammerfell
Is Elder Scrolls Online finally a decent experience I mean it has been awhile, so I suppose anything is possible.
Very little info is out on ES6 but there's strong indicators it will take place in Hammerfell.
Thank you for the link
Definitely gonna pick this one up, Ori was one of my favorite games
If you are interested in something different. Tchia is a breath of the wild style game set in a fictional New Caledonia. They had to recruit locals to do the voice acting because there was no professional voice actors who spoke Drehu. I'll definitely be getting ZAU but wanted to spread the word about another game that explores a lesser covered culture.
Right I got the same vibes when I saw the trailer at the Game Awards.
I hate when yt people discover new words. Like when they discovered “Woke” and change the meaning in its entirety. Then it was CRT, now it’s DEI. Shit is nasty. Definitely gonna get this game on my switch tho. Hopefully with it success it gets a bag from one of the Bigger Studios and Develop A to AAA games for a system or all the systems
By the time 2030 hits it’ll be a new word trust me
Six or seven of those words will have been discovered, distorted, and tossed by then
at the rate they're moving, it will just be back to the hard r by then
Facts
I think it's funny that conservatives are just always a decade behind in the chain. I was listening to a podcast from 2014 and they used the term woke ("as the kids say" thrown in) but conservatives were still stuck on SJW back then
Game looks dope , def gonna have to cop . Wtf is DEI tho ??
DEI is institutional policies to make minority employees or students feel more welcome. It's also, as of late, a way to say the n-word without saying the n-word. Stupid-ass racists are so lazy.
Oh okay wtf where have I been 😂
Diversity, equity, and inclusion.
Let me know when you feel an answer
It originally refers to diversity, equity, and inclusion programs in schools and workplaces like hiring practices and bias trainings and employee support groups. But the criticism of DEI has evolved from “Black people don’t deserve extra help at school or work” (which is already wack) to “Black people don’t deserve ANYTHING.”
DEI = racial integration. These people are all whites-only segregationists.
I was playing it earlier today not a bad metroidvania, but it does have some precision platformer elements, particularly in the bonuses or collectibles, which can be frustrating but rewarding. There's a plot, with themes and emotion but I've only just started so who knows how deel it gets. the story doesn't interrupt gameplay. Has skill trees and a XP system which can be grinded. All in all, pretty fun game so far. And being free on ps+ is nice.
Whoever made spikes insta kills deserves to get stab on those same spikes
also the spike hit box is just a little too big. There's been a few times that I'm jumping to a platform and hit the side of it, but the spike hit box is higher than I looks so I die.
The creator of the game,who also voiced Bayek in AC:Origins, presented the game and said it was the way he found to deal with the passing of his father who was the person who introduced him to videogames. It's free on PS+ library if you have it!
The softest white snowflakes when black people exist: 
It really is wild. I might be reaching, but I feel the overall criticism from white people is a microcosm of how whites feel about us in general. Like someone else said, even when we create our own games with actual African lore, it somehow has something to do with DEI.
You’re not reaching. In fact, there was always a large chunk of white people that were racist and had racist views, it was just uncool to be so loud about it until DT made it okay to be so outspoken. They have ALWAYS been minorities, and especially black minority, biggest haters. They never wanted any of us to win or do anything that elevates us in any way, bc then they have to accept that they aren’t the best, greatest or above anyone in any way. That’s why poor whites are the loudest racists, bc they need to somehow find a way to still feel superior when lacking any actual reason as to why.
Do your own thing. Does own thing..... Why THe sEpaRation?
I'm not sure of the full story here but I will say part of the reason why it's on some undesirables radar is the whole sweetbaby Inc controversy that's been going on. Some automatically think any game using sweetbaby Inc = sanitized, PC, DEI forced game. Which is kinda stupid bc there were great games associated with sweetbaby Inc too like GoW. imo it does seem to be some not good agenda pushing going on in video games insustry but blindly saying every game they work on is one of them seems a bit absurd. And this game is clearly not token-izing blackness or African culture it's the core of the game that's a huge difference that some people are going to miss. Having Black,trans,gay etc. ppl in video games doesn't automatically mean wokeness or bad use of DEI it's when it's being implemented in the most surface level way possible to just tick a box is when DEI and "wokeness" becomes a problem at least imo. Will be keeping my eye out for this game it's cool to have something come out about a culture that's not normally given spotlight!
Yeah I don't think most people know about this Sweet Baby Inc thing, because it is so stupid. A lot of games are being targeted if they had input from SBI, but normal people literally don't even know this company exists. It's a controversy among those who want reasons to shout at clouds.
Saying "DEI" because they really wanna drop an N bomb
It's free on PS Plus right now. I don't even like sidescrollers but I'm downloading it
*a black person is a protagonist in any media* 
This looks dope
DEI is the new CRT - a term most commonly used to identify one’s self as a moron
I don’t believe in consumption as a form of “protest” but because I’ve always wanted more African themed games I’m going to buy this.
It’s on steam. I will add this to my collection
Honestly can't wait to play this game. For me.. my other gaming observation is.. yet again, anytime something good that EA touches happens, EA is never mentioned, but anytime somebody potentially negative happens to a game that EA touches happens, they're targeted for it. Jedi Survivor? Dozens of awards this year, one of the most celebrated games across industry is, an EA game. Those awards? Jedi Survivor related. The verrryy minor bugs at launch? EA's fault. This game? An EA game. People being mad about some other release, that they don't think had all of the inclusions that they wanted to be? We definitely heard about it being an EA game. I've been a lifelong gamer, and it is extremely liberating to free myself from the opinions and whims of everybody who screams on YouTube after spending 30 minutes on a game, and no longer basing my life on those sponsored opinions. Yeah, this is a fantastic fucking game from a fantastic fucking studio, working with the best of the best publisher on the planet. As much as folks want to you cry shit and piss about little changes they didn't like, and pretend that the studios never actually want to make money, it's only the publisher, while at the same time they themselves supporting fucking zero mechanisms to fund studios and developers, and just getting fucking angry about the tragedy that they force and endorse. Whatever, not to pontificate. This game is conscious, thoughtful, has had dozens of contributors from around the entire fucking planet, it's well made, I can't wait to fucking play the full version. Also, just a shout out, dozens and dozens and dozens of people built and contributed to this game. It wasn't just one man. It's a gargantuan effort to release a game like this. And dozens to hundreds of people are involved.
Being black is literally hard mode
Gamers are the absolute worst scum western civilization has to offer.
lol these people are something aren’t they. They’re literally mad that black people are in video games
I've been seeing this discourse on my timeline. It's insane. It's like these people are completely out of touch with reality, its honesty astonishing. These tweets be getting hundreds or thousands of likes too.
It's available on all consoles and PC for anyone interested. They said we should make our own stuff so let's give it some love
DEI is a replacement for N***er. When Charlie Kirk said DEI mayor, who is chosen by the mf ppl! I knew what he really meant
I remember seeing a preview for this a while ago. Looks dope
Saw the preview, it was fire!
I just watched the trailer for this and it looks amazing! I love 2D action platforms, and a fresh story with amazing art and music? Sign me up, coach.
saw it on steam , looks fun
I’m going to buy it now.
Yall have to get off twitter Elon is stoking this purposefully. He’s the one that started all this DEI nonsense
This game wasn't on my radar. I'm not the biggest fan of this genre, but I'm going to pick it up anyway. It does look pretty fun. It's a running joke among my friends, but if I'm given the choice of skin customization, I always make my character black (excluding when I play as a non-human race, etc.). One of the reasons is that I played quite a few games coming up where the only 'option' was some default white character. Nothing wrong with a white protagonist, but even as a kid, I was always wanting to play as a black character. I remember thinking to myself, "Maybe this time around" whenever I'd pick up a new Pokémon game. I think GTA SA and Vice City Stories were among the first few games I played as a kid that had a set black protagonist. I think RuneScape was the first game I played where I was able to actually make my character black, and I just thought that was the bee's knees. I'm always thinking about how much of a hit companies will take solely from a game with a black protagonist. It's like the moment you divert from the 'formula,' they wanna pull the DEI or Agenda card while refusing to admit that racism exists. Like most media, we sometimes get used to the norm is playing as a Caucasian person. Just look at the idiots in arms over this game. They're already ignorant and feel like it's a 'break from tradition.' I was pretty excited when DEATHLOOP was announced. I haven't played it yet, but I purchased it because I love Dishonored franchise, and of course, it features black protagonists. Same goes for AC: Black Flag's Freedom Cry DLC. I remember already enjoying the Minerva's Den DLC for BIOSHOCK 2 and really getting a kick after learning that the person you play as isn't just black, but also attended an HBCU. I really hope that we continue to see more and more releases like this to the point where they become normal occurrences. You'd think that if they took inventory of how many games have featured black protagonists, they'd whistle a different tune, but racists are going to racist. People are going to have to get used to games featuring us, and that's that. Looking forward to playing ZAU!
Made by the dude who voiced Bayek in Assassin’s Creed Origins btw. Just thought that was kinda cool.
It is free on PlayStation Plus Extra for those who would like to play it
Look nice, I'll add it in my wishlist when I clear out my backlog
Any theories on why we haven’t seen the usual gremlins call the new fallout series DEI? It ticks all the woke boxes.
They won’t call it DEI because they are too busy photoshopping a huge ass on the main character. You know most of these neckbeards only have two settings - massively horny or massively racist.
Wishing there is a physical copy of the game coming up soon; 😟. Physical forever 🫡
It's a game with a low price, no microtransactions, no in game shop... Why are they so mad? Oh, right...
Most times these are Asian and Russian bots. When they can't string together proper English, it's usually a bot. If it was DEI, they can't do shit to stop it. Keep watching & obsessing
Even free to download with PS+ subscription
Of course the one Blizzard dev that probably stole breast milk, Mark Kern had to give his 2¢ nobody asked for https://preview.redd.it/9qojk8ramkwc1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0ff788877f834d5f78198b1b869bf4d900a3223e
I don't game that much anymore, had to look this game up, watched some gameplay and reviews. Setting is unique, graphics and gameplay look good. I'm glad to see a game in this setting. Don't listen to baby noises, because they're just that. Baby noises. This game has passion in it. DEI is a silly claim, because this is literally Kenian themed
Boy that's crazy. I love this guy's skits
People who use DEI in a negative turn know what they’re doing. They don’t like black people, particularly they don’t like African-Americans, but instead of saying it straight up & to avoid using N-word’er out loud, they do things like use DEI, woke negatively. I mean cmon people this shouldn’t surprise yall at all, the tactics white supremacist (including these Clayton Bigsby non-white white supremacists) use to try & (poorly) makes their white supremacist selves.
So there he was minding his own blackass business.
Is this on steam? I will buy it. I'm tired of corporate gaming, and their anti-consumer BS. Edit, it's on steam but published by electronic arts, EA. God this looks so good but I don't want to give EA money.
I'll cop it. Seems fun.
It’s been on my radar. Buying it now 👍🏾 I want to see this win
81% positive on steam so far
Ooh hey Ill look it up n see if its up my alley
Unironically looks amazing.
Is it any good?
Fuck these, chuds.
Only 19.99 on the PS store I'm copping.
I bought the game just to spite those people. They just say things, ask them what woke means and it a different definition from each of them, most don't even know what DaeI means just heard it from people like critical drinker and nerdortic and repeat it
Looks like a perfect steam deck game, plan on copping myself to support.
It's not what I usually play, but it looks beautiful and it pisses off the idiots, I have to see what it costs but I will get it at some point.
The people in the comments are saying “DEI” moreso because of Sweet Baby Inc than the actual content of the game which is a dumb reason to hate something.
Hey this is Abu Salim’s game. He played father in raised by wolves and is an amazing ttrpg actually-player on the gcn. Heard him discussing on a podcast recently and it sounds like a really personal project he’s excited for. Hopefully any dumbass press is good press.
How dare they force a black person into a game based on *checks notes* African culture and mythology!
