The problem is not that she’s a white person leading an NAACP chapter. The problem is that she’s a white person who seemingly lied about being black and then headed an NAACP chapter.

Dudes 6’8”, 250... It's probably bigger than your arm.

Oh no! How will they survive the coming Retro Wars?! So what if they suck at old games? Like ya’ll didn’t use the Konami code. I know you did. Don’t front like you hard when I know you gamesharking the second you friend’s leave the room.

There was a time where I naively thought that nerdy people were the most accepting of others because of their social status. I had a crush on this nerdy white dude but he was only interested in me for sex. He also made jokes about black people and AIDS along with the ever-so popular fried chicken stereotype.

Can people just calm down and play an amazing game. I’m sure it’s more fun to actually play the game then count every single polygon on the digital tree... seriously it’s getting tiring how common these are becoming now.

They act like the teabagging hurt his feeling so bad that it had to be avenged...... talk about over dramatic.

The most boring thing physical sports is when ESPN devotes hours to personal feuds in the locker room in hushed tones, with quotes from players sniping at each other and then putting up a PR hug to each other as a “reconciliation.”

Yep: still boring as hell when it’s esports.

First time I get to use this in response.

It’s to the point where a black Challenger can’t even drive down the street anymore without being mistaken for some kind of criminal. These are sad times we live in.

Well stated. I hadn’t really considered the argument from that perspective, but if the kickstarter-added Memorials are intended to be in-universe, that’s definitely a valid point. The joke’s still pretty lowbrow, but in the context of the game’s fiction, it might fit. Granted I don’t buy that there was ever anything…

And that player is a single woman who tweets “Kill all men”. Yeah, that’s totally ok. I don’t give a damn about “kill all men” thing, but how her complaints about transmisoginy, and “killallmen” thing can coexist, confuses me. Why is a harmles joke (which gave me a chuckle, and actually is kinda funny) is an…

This is super ridiculous. As far as how offensive it was it was barely any at all when you look at the context. The joke was really open to connotation. If everything in a fantasy game was politically correct they would be horrible. Racism is in the game why don’t people complain about that? It is a work of fiction…

probably not. Mass effect 3’s debacle have 2 aspects that this didnt have: developers actually lying about what the players were going to get, and the press covering for EA and misrepresenting gamers.

A manufactured outrage by a person who apparently is so 3edgy5me that they also unironically tweet about their desire to kill all men.

This one is bugging me for some reason. Can we unpack it?

“I can only play as a male or female human? UGH! I’m a non-gender-conforming shark from space! Bioware, fix this shit now!”
