My point is this gives people the scapegoat to be like “oh I didnt know my vote did this!”. The more people who see this the more people can claim ignorance and vote better next time.

This isnt about changing hearts and minds, its naive to think you can do that on a large scale. This is about shaming, and giving…

Bingo.
You wanna make an expensive and risky movie? You’re casting a big name. Its a shame, but its how money works. They didnt cast a white woman because racism, they cast a white woman because they want to appeal to a target demographic that someone in a suit with a calculator and a list of trends and pie charts…

Meh, maybe thats true.

Still, I saw nothing offensive until they tried to justify it with a bullshit story injection lol, I dont care how much sense it made.

And I’d love them to do an article on the blogger in vietnam whose going to prison for 7 years for reporting on government toxic dumping. Or the terrifying state in Ukraine.

But thats not what this article is about... thats not the message. Thats like asking for a beer at a coffee shop. I dont understand your…

And you dont see an issue with that?
Or the fact that a movement like that would inherently attract exactly the people our minority friend is afraid of?

Is your understanding of humanity that deluded? 

Okay, we’re all here to be like “come one NYT”..
But now I’m like “come on, bassguitarhero”. Really? Thats how you interpenetrate an article explaining that terrible nazis can be your next door neighbor and you should be aware? Come on.

Get a hold of yourself.  

So if they used white people for the entire movie, it wouldnt be offensive?

The attempt to explain it away was real weird. They should have just left it.

That said, this situation is the exact same practice as white washing.. there is no excuse. The only difference is, white people dont give a fuck. Frankly, it makes less sense in this movie due to the important ties to location and…

Its called racism. Use the name that exists. Calling it a double standard is sugar coating it. Kotaku wouldnt accept that, neither should you.

The nonesense is strong.

You know what they call cherry picking arguments you agree with that concern skill colour?

Racism.

There was a post about it on the games forums, but it was taken down super quick. So I guess I have no proof of that, but it seems evident to me.

Are you over 35? Cuz unless you are, you’re a millennial, and if you think most of the people who saw this movie were over 35, then you’re wrong again.

The average person is dumb and cant understand a movie like this. This was no different when the first movie came out, and it wont be any different the next time a…

Uh, that is not how that works.

Why would they?
They probably didnt assume the worst of their players. That seems like a reactionary thing.

Fuck yesssssss

Does no one realize this is bullshit? Its like saying a politician is incapable of lying about policy.

A woman stands to gain * a lot* from a rape accusation. Revenge, money, pleasure of taking someone down... name it. So what biological impossibility is built into women that makes them incapable of lying?

Sincerely, a…

No, but they lose them in car accidents. Whats the difference? The majority of games dont get murdered like this. It was unexpected, and sudden, and unfortunate.

Read: Sad poor guy is angry someone can afford to throw money at a game.

I promise I’m poorer than you, and I’ve spent a lot more than $400 on this game. I’m probably the target of your advice/insult, and I promise you I dont need any help.

Spending money on your hobbie is hardly a mental illness. Most hobbies have…

This is incredible on a lot of levels. Im surprised the article doesnt mention how wonderful it is that they used the original movie version of the turtles, and not any of the newer iterations. I would have expected immense pressure to use the Michael Bay versions, which would have been a disaster.

I mean, it doesnt state that there are spoilers...
You can talk about spoilers, and *not* contain spoilers. The article is about spoilers, not about spoiling shit.

That said, I wasnt spoiled by this post, I was spoiled on the content in this post on facebook.
