i can’t imagine this happening in california (or maybe even new york). i’m 33 and i have never heard this come up in conversation or have seen this happen

It doesn’t happen nearly as much as people like to try and portray. If this was the case white people couldn’t see a black person without all flocking to them and trying to immediately grab their hair.

Yes also, it’s not exclusive to whites, as this dumb article would have you believe. I’ve seen blacks touch each other’s hair, asians touch a black persons hair, etc. this writer needs to get out more.

Most of the time it’s among friends or acquaintances. It’s not like there are all these lurkers waiting to touch someone’s hair that they don’t know. Why would it be gross to touch someone’s hair? It’s a sign of affection, not malice.

I’ve had people walk up and touch my hair several times and I’m about as ‘white’ as you can get.

well ive never touched “natural” hair before, but i aint got no black friends. what else am i gonna do, go through life not knowing what it feels like? fuck that, ima invade your personal space.

It’s so bizarre. In highschool people all wanted to touch my jew fro.

Man, I just don’t get this thing. Who wants to touch a stranger’s hair? Gross and weird.

“Look guys, we changed it so it’s less bad. We’re the good guys now!” No you’re fucking not. It’s still a grindfest so you can sell lootboxes. Everyone who pre-orders this/buys this in the first month is a dick for enabling them.

I really don’t see what they’re asking for, either. Am I supposed to be upset that new Batman comic books don’t acknowledge his original incarnation where he regularly killed crooks, or threatened to spank female criminals?

On the contrary, I say if you’re interested in this game, it’s because you have some sort of interest or familiarity with the source material.

I’ve mostly come for the comics sundays and occasionally get linked to an article on FB

Who’d want to be taken seriously by anyone who self-identifies as a “gamer?”

Yes! Thank You.

Do you call that “journalism”? Really?

You are complete idiot! It is a beautiful game with a beautiful art style. I was raised on old cartoons and loved them and the animation. So when I saw Cup head I fell in love. I was also educated and raised with the knowledge of everything that also happened in the previous decades as well. That doesn’t change how I…

Its a perfectly fine thing to point out but actually expecting the game to tackle it in any mature way is highly unreasonable.

What would you have the game do? Would you say this means the game shouldn’t exist? None of that makes sense.

If you’ve worked on video games you realize how much work it takes just to have a…

Would be nice, huh?

Thank you for this.

Thank you! Kotaku is a sad, pathetic website. Why can’t there be a better option...
