No, I know what you mean. I mean yes, the issue of consent is problematic. The issue of Othering is just effed up. But assuming that they're all Super Ignorant is just as othering and patronizing.

Uh, in the "Global South" here are tons of things that are exported. Or in the case of Asia, made there. There are plenty of villages in so-called Third World Countries, where everybody owns a freaking cell phone and watches television. It doesn't mean they're not poor. It means the reach of capitalism extends very…

Very good point. Maybe he wanted to be in the photo; I've had locals ask me to take their picture. That being said, that doesn't make him being used as a prop any less problematic. There's an inherent difference; he might not doesn't know how racist the west is. He probably does know what a camera is.

Yes, exactly. OP's idea just tokenizes them, anyways.

Firefox handles memory better now? IE doesn't totally suck? Interesting. I don't think I'll give up Chrome anytime soon, unless it starts to underperform. Habit, and all that.

Too much work

Really? I think Awkward is a bajillion times better than this. It's...just...such a snoozefest. Blondie is cute, though. He's been on a bunch of ABC shows.

Everything, I imagine. Unless we are supposed to assume they are not mixed-race but SUPER AMERICAN, and they ALL assimilate.

Don't you have anything better to do?

Super close, Dragon Age.

(I am not a pale person :P)

Then it stands on point that how you feel about how Arabs are depicted doesn't really matter- at least if you're "not bothered by it." And honestly, even if you were, it doesn't matter, because there are people that are offended by it, as they should be. The treatment of PoC in video games, for the most part, is…

What? Have you even played?

I'm pretty sure you can be a "casual" gamer and still play a game for 24 hours.

What constitutes "30 hours straight?" Does this involve not moving too? I would say 20-something hours is doable (if you get up at 7 am to play and play straight until the next morning) including breaks to use the washroom and...possibly eat while you play...Not speaking from experience, or anything...

Doesn't mean she would fuck you.

In Japan or on Kotaku?

Eh, you're an Other, you know? Alla'youz look the same.

Gawker barely filtering system, and Kotaku isn't exactly a hotbed of intelligence, or open-mindedness. Thanks for trying, though. I hope at least some lurkers read, and learn something.

No. It happens today. It's worse, if anything, because western society isn't as openly racist as they used to be.
