I haven't played the game nor watched a stream yet to verify the image isn't doctored in some way, but I don't think that's the case here.

User Banned (1 Month): Breaking site-wide staff post regarding advocation for banning content, long history of various infractions. Post reverted for context.
Alright can we ban this fucking game already?
As someone of Ukrainian heritage (both parents born there, I was born in the US) — why the fuck is this game getting a green light here with its Soviet military aesthetic, its release date falling way too close to the first anniversary of the war, and when the developers have made it known that they are both siding the conflict?
Editing to clarify that this isn't meant as meta commentary, I just find it interesting that I haven't read anything about the above on this forum, when it was a cursory Google search away.

Probably the majority of them. I mean IGN gave it three 8's across their divisions. Then you have others giving it a 9 and 9.5. Mind boggling.

From what I understand, it's a scene from an old cartoon you can watch on the in-game television. Think of it like those old Looney Tunes episodes that had racist caricatures. This is from an old Russian cartoon.
Context
As in, a real life cartoon that existed? Or one created specifically for the game?
edit: Already answered elsewhere.
Oh shit. I am not someone who has followed this game at all and didn't even know about it until maybe 2 weeks ago, but this is serious OOF vibes.
Ugh. Of course there is. There's no excuse not editing that out. Regardless if it's old. Idiots. What's Microsoft's process for approving content?
It's surprising how in E Europe this stuff is still incredibly prevalent. Too often I go to visit family in Poland, they flick on the TV and someone's doing blackface on a singing contest.

Astounding that it hasn't happened already

They ban that other game that shall not be named but not this.... yeah o... k
Indeed. And they're avoiding sanctions. Sadly people want their shiny new game no matter what is involved behind the scenes.
This was posted in a different thread. It's the dialogue that is voice acted. It's NSFW if you can't listen to it now.

Yeah, don't get me wrong, I support banning that game. But this one directly supports genocide. There's not even a comparison to be made.
I was confused and shocked enough to see people happily discussing it in an OT that I had to question if I was getting the title mixed up.
not touching this game in any form ( my grandfather is Ukrainian) - from the shady financing of the game to the Soviet imagery and embarrasing as fuck fridge in the game it's just a series of clusterfucks.
I'm honestly not surprised at this latest find.

How is harry potter banned from this fourm but not this game?
Did no one here play Bioshock Infinite? I was shocked when I saw that the first time too but I realized it was to set the time period of the game. The history of belittling blacks in cartoons is a harsh one. From America to Japan.
huh. why did they choose this cartoon series?
Can't say I did. What do we need to know?
That's Eastern Europe for you, lots of things you can see/hear in mainstream tv or radio would give Tucker Carlson a pause.
Just fyi asking for banning things is now against the rules, I would edit. Maybe a ticket is fine
From wiki, "In the 2014 all-Russian poll, Well, Just You Wait! won by a wide margin as people's favorite cartoon/animated series of all time."
With that in mind, I assume they chose it since it's very representative of 60s era Russia.

That's what I am wondering.
For nostalgia, it was very popular in the USSR. There's a whole EN Wiki page about it.
Well, Just You Wait! - Wikipedia
It's a popular cartoon that's been running since 1969 according to it's Wikipedia page
And fits into the aesthetic I notice the cartoon is in the style of the power-up cartoons they have for your powers in the game.
It's impressive how much stuff is in the world I have no idea it exists.
I imagine they didn't check them all or just didn't care to edit this.
"Didn't see", you mean. Review codes showed up Tuesday for a game to be reviewed the following Monday. I appreciated the cartoons on the break-room tv but didn't watch them, because who's got time? I did love the animations for the various item upgrades, though.
As for the fridge, I took it at face-value in-game that it's supposed to be horrific/obnoxious, a batshit crazy AI using cheesy sex-talk to lure in people and kill them. Because that's what it is. If the Major hadn't been annoyed by it, playing along and flirting back or something equally cringe-inducing, I'd have had a lot of issues with the fridge, but it's presented as being wrong on all sorts of levels.
