Angelina Jolie also has big lips. Is she and any movies she stars in also racist?

Thanks God Diablo 2 didn't come out now.

A quick Google search for "african mask" returns me these without even having to scroll down:

Is african culture racist?

Black Americans have no fucking clue about being African is

They’ll be coming for our boy miles soon.

They already are. People are concerned about him being friendly with the NYPD since his dad was a cop

Also, who are the bigots in this story? The developers? This imagery comes from African masks so.

The bigots are the people that for many years have been using such imagery to humiliate black people. They are the ones responsible for people complaining now about seemingly not offensive images. Bigots made them offensive.
The devs had no idea, of course, and now they will change it, as they should cause devs don't want to make their players feel bad when playing.

And the new wave of "woke" bigots are keeping those believes alive, to gain power.
Instead of just letting it be when it is clearly used in a good-natured way.

Same reason they support racial segregation. They don't want to heal the rift between human "races".

Omg. I can't believe humanity could ever send people to the Moon while having such morons...

 

[lame gag1990]

The SJWs are the most racist, bigoted people out there. The fact that their minds goes in that direction, tells you all you need to know.

Exactly.

 

[jonnyp]

Utterly ridiculous. An abstract looking game cannot have any creative freedom anymore because woke people see "racism" everywhere. These people are such utter racists themselves completely incapable of viewing anything outside the lense of race.

Thanks a lot woke people, you abject losers.

Its on ERA:

Is Spider-Man: Miles Morales still gonna work with NYPD cops?

Considering recent events with the murder of George Floyd and just decades of police brutality and racism with NYPD, I wonder if they'll have Miles work with the police like Peter did in the base PS4 game. It's not clear if Miles Morales is entirely an expansion so new story, or he's a new skin...

Morales' dad was a cop that he idolized.

anyone else slightly fatigued by BLM influence all over everything? Especially the media????? I don't owe blacks a god damn thing.

When has a black person ever asked YOU for anything? What blacks want, you can't give them. Liberty and justice are above your pay grade and the constitution happens to say it's for all.
Keep playing your little video games and don't take yourself too seriously. Thanks.

The fact that you got 66 likes for such a dumb comment tells me everything about where some GAF posters land on the far right spectrum.

 

[Neolombax]

WTF man, this shit is getting out of hand. Holy shit.

 

[Danjin44]

And people ask why games like original Drakengard and Rule of Rose wont ever get re-release.....

 

[Quantum253]

I looked at the image and thought I'd seen something similar before. Was there any outrage, or questioning, with Crash Bandicoot?

 

[DynamiteCop!]

The world has gone to hell, never give into these psycho criticisms or demands. These people are not the ones who buy your games, and these kind of mindless changes result in the people who would have bought your game not doing so.

Pathetic.
