This thread is dumb.... yet here i am.... SJW's got me again #dammit
You know, all things considered, I'm actually willing to believe that in a way, he really is very, very dumb like that. Intelligence, which he clearly doesn't lack completely, is different from ability to critically consider sources without personal bias, or even navigating social networks in ways that promote discussion, instead of hammering his opinions ever deeper into the ground.I don't know what to say to this other than, you must think he's really, really dumb. People call him a nazi because on twitter he's at best two degrees of separation from avowed neo-nazis and white supremacists. If you're repeatedly and enthusiastically affiliating with that shit in public, you shouldn't expect to get the benefit of the doubt.
Having played it, I didn't see any propaganda whatsoever. It's no more problematic than Skyrim in my opinion. I've yet to see anyone prove there is any offensive content in the game, or at least anything more offensive than most games.
Whatever you think of him, the game isn't a celebration of gamergate fuckery at all.
As I stated, same. There are just some folks who dislike the guy's (awful) politics, and that's that.This is pretty much my view on it. I didn't have a clue who made this game before I bought and played it, had no idea what the opinions of a particular person who worked on this game were, and nothing stood out as an attempt to push any particular political views.

There is no defending the guy really, but IMO, it doesn't matter. I separate the artist from the art, and judge it accordingly. Obviously, if he was doing something insane like funding hitler youth rallies, that would be one thing. But as far as I can tell, he is just a shithead. A shithead that made an interesting game to me. So I bought it.
Thanks for your opinion, I disagree.I bought it on cdkeys and regret it. There's nothing particularly good about it aside from the visuals.
I just want to say that I appreciate your posts. I think a lot of people will see you showing up in every tangentially-related thread, mentioning how much you like scantily-clad women characters, or downplaying racist viewpoints/actions of industry people, or stuff like this, whenever the tone is remotely progressive:
and see it as trolling, when it's clear that you just want games to be judged on their own, in a vacuu-
Oh.

.....what? That can't be real....wait, isn't that the guy who feels like their masculinity is threatened when they play girl games?

Thanks, sounds very unprofessional overall for a company especially a creative director.The creative director (Vavra) public declarations and political stances, how he mistaken his personal opinions with corporate advertising while being horribly prententious about his game. The game controversy is how clunky and bugged the game is and the amateurism of the technical support since the release.
At least be honest about who you are and what you believe. You don't get to be racist as shit and then act all offended when people call you a racist.
