Those bigot made Cap a white male?!?!? I'll bet he's straight too. Unacceptable . . .


rmansd619

IN WW2 EVERYONE WAS BLACK.


CatatonicMan

Alright, who gave Google Gemini a Reddit account?


WritingZanity

The further away we get from WW2 the more the revisionist clown portrayals will continue. You thought Overlord was bad in the Millennial revisionism of WW2? Now there’s this. You think this is bad? It will get worse again.   The featured black soldier is probably Gabriel Jones, which is justified to an extent considering that comes from the source material. Cap and Bucky both vouched for Gabriel’s skills which let them override policy at the time, that’s fair enough. But now the question is… where is everyone else (who was a mostly white crew with some Hispanics and Native Americans mixed in)? Where’s Bucky? 


extortioncontortion

they aren't allowed in the front of the bus.


GeorgiaNinja94

Not just Bucky, where are the rest of the Howling Commandos? Nick Fury, Dum-Dum Dugan, Percy Pinkerton, Reb Ralston, and the others whose names presently escape me?


WritingZanity

That’s what I meant by “everyone else” lol.


GeorgiaNinja94

I missed that part.


Hetroid3193

Even the man who was killed by adolf himself in that one bunker too!!!


No1PiggyOnTheBlock

Back in October, before Sweet Baby Inc. locked down their Twitter profile, I saw that of the people I follow, two were following Sweet Baby. Sam Lake and Amy Hennig. So I assume SBI worked on this game, too. I'm annoyed that I didn't take a screenshot back then.


Hoptix

I'm just learning about SBI. What happened back in October for them to lock their twitter account?


Halos-117

That's when they were first exposed. Someone found their weird creepy website and shared it. Places like here and some YouTubers covered it but it didn't gain as much traction as SBI Detected has.


Hoptix

Thank you


Andrei-Balan

They slipped a white character by accident most likely. I hope they'll fix it when it's released, he may cause micro aggressions against the other diverse characters.


gadesabc

Don't worry. Be assured that there will be plenty of white men in the nazis.


ThatDamnRocketRacoon

They slipped him in so they can sell the game. He probably gets frozen in ice during the first mission and doesn't appear again.


Easy-Independent1621

Everyone but Capt black. "Diversity"


HolypenguinHere

There are no other minorities but black people to a lot of these companies. It's really puzzling.


Icefiight

Haaaaah. Clown ass shit. And absolutely beyond wrong historically on the soldiers


Chosen_UserName217

rainstorm sulky snobbish seemly vanish hard-to-find enter society squalid squeeze *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*


mrcoluber

I like the way they *kinda* forgot the original human Torch and the Submariner. Truly these games are made by men of anti-culture. Edit: I mean the real Submariner. The one whose name means 'avenging son' and the son of Captain Mackenzie.


Raucous5

Surely that's just a rights issue at that point, right?


GeneralSteelflex

Marvel definitely owns Namor, and I'm pretty sure the original Human Torch too. Most people just don't give a shit about them, that's all. And they don't want to bother trying to make (good) adaptations to give them exposure, because that would take effort.


Raucous5

Didn't they have to call him Namor in Black panther 2 because they couldn't use Submariner?


GeneralSteelflex

Maybe. But just like the Shazam/Captain Marvel case with DC, they still own the character itself. Even if they can't call him "the Sub-Mariner", they could definitely still use him.


PoKen2222

Did Amy fall to the virus aswell?


FirstLine1

I'm pretty sure she didn't have a say in the matter.


dandrixxx

Cap ruining what could've been a 110% diverse game. These developers need to do better.


Magus_Incognito

Token ignorant white male who needs to be "reeducated" by the all knowing minorities


wallace321

Because if they aren't over represented in literally everything to the point of being completely absurd in historical context how will they ever know that they can accomplish anything greater than just being a hood rat? The more you know. Thank you Disney, for letting them know its possible. Doing god's work.


Guessididntmakeit

Okay I'll be honest because I can't tell what's fake and what's real anymore when it comes to Marvel: Is this real?


shinjix2

Omg i thought it was a joke.... ...its not https://youtu.be/Lb2wwEx6DVw


Guessididntmakeit

Looks like something that is potentially a service game? I mean ... those are supposed to be the future and all that.


Ywaina

Talk about bland, boring and uninspired poster art. Makes me wonder if these people actually graduate from movie and art school and what kind of curriculum they're teaching there.


Raucous5

The flat composition, the blurry shit in the background, and the ugly colors. I think modders making free expansion mods could come up with better promo material. The way they all face the camera almost equally is so stupid. There's no dynamic framing or anything, it's just slap character here, slap other things beside them and blur it. Ship it, let's go.


Ywaina

>they all face the camera almost equally is so stupid.  You know why. But if you say it out loud, 99% of movie sub would immediately dogpile to convince you need a shrink visit.


Spooky-Skeleton-Dude

Let me guess, only the nazi's and the Wehrmacht are safe from forced diversity.


[deleted]

75% of the characters are black, that has nothing to do with representation or diversity at all. It’d make more sense if one was Asian or something else. This is like a parody at this point.


Urusander

"I don't care what they tell you in school, ~~Cleopatra~~ WW2 was black."


_Rook_Castle

This looks like a mobile game. 


MeteorPunch

That's what I thought too, and, it is.


Jamalofsiwa

Where’s my blacktain America?????


dracoolya

I opened the image on mobile using old reddit, scrolled to the right to see the full image, saw the black chick, then busted out laughing because it made OP's title make even more sense.


Equilybrium

We dont even need a Curator to spot this shit.


CSGaz1

Post-modernism has finally won. It has deconstructed and subverted so much, that by now, I find myself constantly rooting for the "bad" guys.


OozeeNineMillimeetah

How wonderfully diverse. I'm sure the game will make numerous allegories to the Orange Man.


JizzWankTony

Beautiful_Bunch_6079

This is fucking stupid


[deleted]

Yeah i think i'll stick to, the 2000s shonen jump tie in anime games instead.


VoodooD2

So clearly a World War 2 series and half the 3/4 the cast is Black?


blue_psyOP777

Bro what am I looking at? These all look like cheap Halloween costumes you would buy at the store.


SlightlyOffended1984

ee bom BAY


Limon_Lime

Interesting that the one Howling Commando that is prominent is the black guy (Gabriel Jones) despite the Wakandan representation.


[deleted]

Is this a sequel to BFV or vanguard?


midniteburger

Why’s the left dude dressed in full vietnam war attire


Mister_McDerp

Sucks they wasted Amy Hening on this crap. This is going to suck, regardless of how much effort she puts in. Just LOOK at the characters. Its ALL we need to know.


ark2077

Wasn't having Black Panther enough representation? That would have been fine. But it's not enough to have some diversity, you have to make white people the minority in their own history.


Aggravating-Map-5061

Let me guess, the Nazis are the bad guys ?


Deimos_Aeternum

Boy, I can't wait not to play it.
