WTF does that even mean?

SouSouRocket said:As a Muslim woman I'm delighted to see a character like that in a game, though I wish it was in a more original property. Headscarves are not a cliche. This may come as news to you but it's an important way of life for many people. Some people may be forced to wear it, but most are not (unless they live somewhere like Saudi Arabia).
I don't wear a scarf but my mom, cousin, and several of my relatives do. I'm sorry to go off like this but I always thought it would be great to include a strong Muslim woman in some of my work and to see this kind of reaction is incredibly disheartening .
Imagine it said in a middle-eastern accent, then laugh.MalboroRed said:WTF does that even mean?

Again, not necessarily that black and white. Head-scarf doesn't go hand in hand with oppression.ymmv said:Why not show strong Arab female characters without a headscarf? Real role-models for a young generation instead of a pious muslim girl in a headscarf so traditional/orthodox/fundamentalist muslim men won't be offended?

dat ass junior derailing thread.
Why bother? It was explained even in what he quoted. He chose to ignore it and push his own ignorant view as universal fact. It happens, online. Just laugh @ it. Lol.The_Technomancer said:Again, not necessarily that black and white. Head-scarf doesn't go hand in hand with oppression.

I dunno. I'm sure there's an Avatar ripoff somewhere out there too. People see what's popular and want to do that, regardless of whether it's a good idea.hey_it's_that_dog said:The problem with this game's existence is this: Why would anyone buy a low budget clone of an Uncharted game when Uncharted's primary appeal is the way it showcases incredible talent and effort backed by a big budget? A mechanically and artistically poor Uncharted is a shallow and unnecessary game.

Or not. Looks terrible!
Because they'd rather show women in headscarves to offend atheists. And the religious right. Hijabi actually don't have to equate to piety at all. Could be the most liberal Muslima in the world and still choose to wear it.
But I understand your point. And you could be right. Because fundies are wack.
This. I really hate her voice too. Chloe for life.bdizzle said:Elena sucked though. I hate her and hopes she gets killed in Uncharted 3. Chloe Defense Force reporting for duty!!!
ymmv said:Women don't wear headscarves as a fashion statement, but because they think their religion tells them to, or because they'd get into trouble with their orthodox parents, family members or community who'll otherwise give them grief because of course, any girl who doesn't wear a headscarf is obviously a whore. Fundies are wack, but religion can also poison otherwise nice, moderate people.
Huh? Oh dear, indeed.Appollowexx said:The fact it's Arabic, and looks it, is hilarious. Dear, oh dear...

shidoshi said:It's just a question of not understanding a different culture or way of life, and that's always going to happen. The way you change that is to feature those ways of life, not get disheartened by the reactions that it might get and no longer want to do so.
Video games can teach at the same time that they entertain, so if somebody in the West went into this game thinking "head scarves are a sign of dominance over women," but learned through the game that that might not necessarily be the case, that'd be a good thing, right?

Diablo III's Abd Al-Hazir is loosely based on Ibn Battuta. Abd Al Hazir is a traveler much like Ibn Battuta and describes the foreign cultures and creatures in a peculiar fashion. He goes off to the furthest known lands. I doubt many people know about the travels of Ibn Battuta as well.xbhaskarx said:How many gamers know who Ibn Battuta was?
If there is a demo I will definitely check it out.
Well, they're just copying another popular game. Alot of developers do this, unfortunatly, whatever country thy come from.... just not usually this blatantly.GrayFoxPL said:I am sure Arabic devs can do a lot better then this. Probably they're faceplaming right now.

Damn! That's embarassing.BatmanBatmanBatman said:Gameloft are even more shameless than this to be honest.
