I wonder if they know your character can ALSO be black?
I also wonder if killing white dudes would be less disgusting?
TW3 got flak for not having black people at all. Cyperpunk has, but as it happens just in this video—and I'm sure you will be able to kill thousands of white people—there are black people, it's not about representation anymore (because we can finally put a mark on it), but that you kill them? I mean, should they be invincible like children in Fallout 3/New Vegas? I swear, someone is noclipping/cheating somewhere and manages to kill someone and gets angry that it is still possible.
To quote from a book I'm reading, with three main antagonists called Cut Throat Bill (sadistic white piece of trash), Nigger Pete (sadistic black piece of trash), and Fatty (sadistic white fat piece of trash), and with six heroes: Eustace (a black person, bad tracker, good with pistols), Shorty (a midget, brutal, smart), Jack (teenage boy, too Christian and soft at the beginning, but clever). Jimmie Sue (a whore who can shoot and hit), Winton (now sheriff, former bounty hunter, badass dude), and Hog (a hog, eats off faces of bad dead people, doesn't care about skin color):
"They [Comanche] had dragged her by rope through the thorns before they stuck her, and impaled the poor darling in such a way the child could not wiggle off. If it had, it wouldn't have mattered. The wound was horrid enough to insure its death."
"The monsters," I said.
"They are humans," Shorty said. "So therefore your word is accurate."
"Human?" I said. "There is nothing human about something like that."
"I have known of men to rape and murder Indians with the easy understanding that they are not quite human. I am sure Eustace [the black hero] can tell you unpleasant and accurate stories about how colored are treated by white men, so I will not defend either white man, Indian, or colored against their basic nature. I hate them all evenly, including myself. No use expecting more from humans than they are capable of."
Thing is, in this book, in this story, even the good guys done some bad shit. The heroes, Indians, white people, black people, everyone went mad. Everyone is being capable of if pushed by whatever factors.
A bunch of black people call themselves Animals. So? There black people calling themselves by the n-word. People often show this kind of behavior: "you think we are animals? We will show you!". It's the whole premises of the movie Easy A, with Emma Stone: "people judge me and think I'm a whore? Okay, then let's have it that way!" There thousands of books written about 'identity' and 'self-concept' and I can tell you that this depiction could be very well very accurate. These black dudes the player CAN kill (but don't HAVE TO) is just one group of trash you probably have no issues with killing them. Same as bad white dude, bad females.
I think this shit starts inside one's own mind, the racism, that you see black people, the name "animals" and that you (can) kill them. You don't see them as bad dudes who may deserved it first, you see their skin color before everything else. Not, though, if they are white.
People shitting on CDPR twist their own logic to confirm a hypothesis they want to see confirmed; it's already there, they bend the narrative to support their theory: CDPR enable white supremacists fantasies.
