Also the Wehrmacht was the name of the German army during the Nazi era. It was literally founded by Hitler. You're the one being a moron, utterly ignorant of history, if you think the organization didn't go hand-in-hand with Nazism. This may shock you, but very few people are going to be entertained by your super edgy

Right? The worst part is how they get angry at the mere idea that some people are construing the image as racist. Like the very existence of other opinions - none of which come off as angry, just observational - is somehow a threat to them.

Name literally one thing that those evil minorities do to "oppress" you and your mighty heterosexual manfulness.

Yeah, this kinda sounds like a regular old Civ game with a new coat of paint. That's not meant as a dig, I love Civ, but this doesn't sound particularly exciting beyond OMG NEW CIV GAME.

I'll pass, thanks. You are too ridiculous to argue with.

Again, why do people have such difficulty understanding that a fictional universe is fictional? Any values or stylistic choices are inherently the values and stylistic choices projected by its (real-life, mostly male) designers. We can "get" the in-universe justification for design choices while simultaneously calling

Are you assuming that I'm a dude or something? Because I'm not.

Well, I'm a woman, so...

I'm not even going to further engage with you about privilege since you're apparently a 16-year-old repeating a phrase she spotted on xoJane and liked the sound of.

Michael Scott would totally go to Chipotle as his "favorite hole-in-the-wall Mexican joint" in NYC.

Guh? Do you even know what privilege is?

Oh right, those stealthy ballet dancers. I totally forgot how Navy SEALS always run their missions en pointe. Give me a break. And what the hell does "check your privilege" even mean in this case?

They have Chipotle in actual cities? I was under the impression that it was the "ethnic" equivalent of Panera Bread, only able to exist in strip mall areas within a stone's throw of either a Barnes & Noble or Lowe's, preferably both.

No, but getting sniffy about working with a company like (quelle horreur) McDonald's does ring slightly false when both you Chipotle owe much of your success to the patronage of such large firms. Plus it's just fucking classist and elitist. You're much more likely to find a McD's in a poor, library-deprived community

That was my immediate reaction too! Glad I'm not the only pedantic nerd here. Granted, it's small potatoes in light of the ridiculous Ancient Aliens fuckery around which the series is built.

Whatever in-universe justification you and the creators want to come up with. The effect is that she's walking on her tippy-toes like a damn Barbie. They're obviously meant to mimic stiletto high heels.

Even keeping in mind the boundless sexism of video games, there are still quite a few more options than THAT.

I love that they can't even give her normal boots. She's a chick so she has to be wearing space stilettos.

Oh my god, shut uuuuuuuuup.

Ugh, Kinja. If you look at the "All Replies" view it's one of the first to pop up, written by someone called johnsmith9999: "If you're calling us 'kids', don't buy it at all." 26 stars at this point.
