If the word savage is your baby, you should get a different fuckin’ baby.
Reread The Call of Cthulu and pay attention to his descriptions of people, you’ll notice that it’s not as separate from his writings as you think.
The benefit of picking Luigi isn’t physical, it’s psychological. Your heart is filled with joy when you pick Luigi and thus you play better.
I don’t know. I think their “these images really weren’t for the game we were making and are not representative of the game we have made.” is a perfectly reasonable response.
who’d have thought a game with 100% deus vult aesthetic and 4% community moderation, on the PC, would attract this crowd.
Funny how it’s almost—almost—exclusively games about Medieval knights who look like Templar/have the whole ‘Deus Vult meme aesthetic’ going on that seem to bring this particular brand of “we’re just bitching about historical purity,” shithead out of the woodwork.
Context does matter, but you are picking and choosing what context matters to you.

Nope nope nope. Malicious or just naive, blackface is bad. Intent can color how people react to the person in question, but it doesn’t somehow make blackface acceptable. Because it doesn’t and never will.

When it’s White people getting to use minority identity for fun when those minorities are killed in the streets or brutalised and treated like shit for simply existing maybe that conversation doesn’t deserve to be had and White people can just cosplay as the 95% of characters who are White.
“isn’t it about time to take a more nuanced look..”
Hey: nah. Blackface is bad. Darkening your skin tone to alter your perceived race, even for cosplay, is bad.
