Fucking really?
What if the game is a critique of colonialism? You'd need a colonialist villain, right?
Don't read into it too much. That's not what was impliedNo more so than male on female though. Presuming it's worse when it happens to a guy is really, really, really troubling.

Good. I feel like I'm crazy after reading all the awful arguments people tried to make.
So the "white man's" motivation must be based on race because that's what white people do? How do you know that "white guy" isn't holding him down because he plays terrible video games?
While there is nothing inherently wrong with a gay antagonist, it worries me that it might not be done right. Also if the only time we have gay characters in games as main characters that are bad guys, what message does that send to people? All gay people are bad, or it will just fuel their hatred they already have towards gay people
Uhh...I didn't write that. You messed your quote up.

Oh shit! He quoted one of my posts in his twitter rage.Op's twitter is a goldmine. He'll bitch and moan about GAF on twitter, but can't be bothered to come defend his point. I guess we are just all too disgusting for him.

You're reading too much into what he said. Relax.

Pretty sure its not that troubling, after all the OP hasnt made a thread about it yet.
But people aren't focusing on the handling. They get fixated on the literal depiction. If the depiction exists, it is bad. That's it. No mitigating factors. No other consideration. It simply cannot be good because it is trope-y (that trope being something that offends them, of course).And you cannot deny the overuse of such tropes to impart "seriousness" into story. The use of rape as a shorthand for "that person is evil" is amazing prevalent. Of course these things can be handled correctly, but that does not preclude saying "hey, many creators don't handle it correctly." For example, see: Far Cry 3. Once again, a game I enjoyed, that unfortunately whiffed satirizing the white savior trope.

Fuck yeah
I think its cute, seeing his little posse high-fiving eachother over accomplishing nothing and failing to raise even a single valid point. As usual.

OP has made other threads like this?
Wow, the smugness coming from OP and his Veerender buddy's twitter is off the charts

He also thinks we would some how be SHOCKED if he posted a pic of him cuddling with his boyfriend...
Pathetic and awful, but not surprising behavior given the subject matter.Op's twitter is a goldmine. He'll bitch and moan about GAF on twitter, but can't be bothered to come defend his point. I guess we are just all too disgusting for him.

Right. Because talking about issues of minority representation in gaming is not acceptable right? (On whether or not these issues have relevance is another topic).
The guy isn't conclusively gay. He's not even conclusively white. The only thing that is clear is that he is a villain who likes expensive clothes and thinks he's better than everyone else.
Has no one even picked up on the fact that he's decapitated the statue of a god and is using it as his throne? He thinks he's godlike. This is not a good guy.

I just woke up from a cat nap and saw this thread...
How about we wait for the fucking game to come out before criticising POTENTIAL elements of it? There might be some totally valid criticisms, but how can they be applied to a game that hasn't even shown a trailer yet?

This is exactly what the White Savior complex is talking about; the natives have all this "baggage" (their heads up their ass, apparently) and can't solve their own problems. It's like saying no foreign country can truly be indepedent because they need American magic to keep them standing.
No, you are just being someone who I would happily take male fashion advice from. Keep up the good work.lol i'm straight and i dress and look almost exactly like that all the time. Have I been being straight wrong this whole time?
Okay, so any storyline where an outsider intervenes in another culture's ongoing struggle is inherently racist. Gotcha.
And actually, I was going to use the US as an example. I guess those people asking for help in the Ukraine don't realize they're feeding into the "White Saviour" agenda? How about the Nigerians?...
