I can’t tell what is satire anymore.

I'm fascinated by how far the politically correct crowd is wiling to police 'reality' because feelings are more important than truth or history. It's logical (because we are living under the dictatorship of what Marx called the "petty bourgeoisie", a class who value comfort above everything else), but it's utterly terrifying.

my cake, fuck off
I wish devs would tell these crazy motherfuckers to deal with it. Or just ignore them. People that constantly get offended by stuff like this can't add up to more than a small minority, can they?

Sick 'no u' burn, bro.
Is this taken out of the context? As such the ACV text is weird and isn't great (the F is that character narrative writing? Oh right I forgot they fired talented people only to hire impostors...).
For the rest, fuck loonies, there's being sensitive or displeased by a text that is badly or oddly written with no harmful intent, and then complaining and asking for censorship, reminds me of why I hate SJW as much as reactionnaries...

Talk about 1st world problems! When do we reach peak insanity?
Sometimes I think that Islam and China becoming the dominant forces in the world is no bad thing. They would shut this nonsense down on day 1, there'll be no 'human rights' to cling to. Moaning about what some NPC says in a video game will be the least of your worries.

fukin' hell.. 
you don't think burned people think their face is disfigured? It's a painful fact for sure, but it doesn't make it false!
Actual definition:
"Disfigurement is the state of having one's appearance deeply and persistently harmed medically, such as from a disease, birth defect, or wound. "

Twitter does amazing things, if you are salty about something and have a blue checkmark or have enough of a following without that blue checkmark. You can get what you want.

Of course they can feel bad about their problems, why not?
The problem here are those "artists" that prefer to pander to those feelings over their original vision for the thing they are creating.

I fully agree. They should not remove it.
Gaming really has become a joke, unfortunately it's also becoming worse and worse. I guess it's time for this video again...;

i do think the over-reaction is because we live in a time with the most privilege ever. things are soooo good. people have it soooo good. it's why they have to go out of their way and complain about fictional viking raids. you literally have all the rights. you are not oppressed in any way. you are just a whining baby. you have to go out of your way and sanitize a game where you play a god damn violent viking raider! this is how privileged you are. even your violent historical fantasies must be made safe.
send any of these fake socialist morons over to a real communist country and see how they like it. indeed, the ideology they worship are literally doing another holocaust, and the only thing they can think of is "my slave-labor-enabled consumer product has some offensive text in it!" fucking hypocrite morons. let's see how they treat They/Them freaks in the land of communism and Islam. guarantee you they don't get this leeway. it is because they have so much freedom to act like morons that they do so.

Ok, why is that person bitching about it and not the girlfriend that apparently has an issue about the character of a video game?

Can you imagine living a life with someone where you're on constant 24/7 alert about anything and everything being a potential trigger.. yikes. Shielding yourself from everything in life is infamously known to be an ineffective and potentially harmful way of going through it. The guy think he's protecting his gf, but he's an enabler, the worst kind.

"Social media give the right to speak to legions of morons, that previously only spoke at the pub after a glass of wine, without damaging the community. They used to be immediately silenced, while now they have the same right to speak of a Nobel Prize. It's the invasion of the morons."

One fucking douche complains about completely harmless text and the mega corp just bows down, kisses his nuts and changes it.

Why can't ubisoft allow these kinds of patches to be opted out? If I am playing the game in my home and am not offended, why change the content for an audience that does not exist?

some people just shouldn't play video games, or even socialize in general if you are THAT easily offended

One could think that those kind of people like getting offended and posting about it on twitter.
Kinda sad if their ego depends of it.

what's more sad is when companies feel like they have to comply otherwise be canceled

I kinda like it, it's a nice way of noticing if a gamedev is there to pander to those "masses" and get their money or if they really care about what they are creating.
So yeah, I don't see myself expending any money on Ubisoft in the future.

Miserable people project onto everyone and everything they come across in life. It fulfills them knowing they can impact others on a grand scale, and make them miserable as well.

What a glorious time to be alive, it used to be that you had to suck up to the king, nobleman, or lord of your village to get a preferential position in your local community so that you could fulfill your over-compensating need to control and dominate others in order to mask your internal insecurities and physical inadequacies...that shit was hard work, there was no moisturizer to help with chappy lips. Now anyone with a smartphone can exert their dominance over millions of people, or perhaps even better; billion dollar companies. Your dead-end job, lackluster physique, intellectual insecurities and financial troubles aren't so bad any more, cause you have power! You made those all those people bend to your will, all with a single tweet! Your dad never did that!
