Sure, because you continue to dismiss everything as "social media drama" instead of actually looking what is actually presented to you. I'm not surprised at this point.
True, in my country the only part that even remotely resembles Vavra's views is literally a neo-nazi one (and i mean literally neo-nazi, with several of its former members literally having swastika tattoos and having been arrested for hate crimes) and has around 0.2% of votes, thankfully.
Such a delicate way to put this. HAHA. I laughed out loud. (we can talk about the culture of supremacy against ethic groups as further divided by religion if you want).
It was more his views on why there were no persons of colour in the game and that fact of the matter that, according to him, there is no documented inhabitants in the area that they are recreating that can be historically recreated authentically. That's the current crux is that this game is being based on recorded history to build a world where NPCs act like they actually did back then, that the game offers authenticity to the gameplay that you have access to.
I mean, your Vávra points are perfectly fair, of course. But I’m not a fan of the dismissal of the diversity or the depiction of their own history.
2017 was their most violent year, and this only looks to worsen. but hey, it's just social media drama y'all, let's respect everyone's opinion and enjoy video games and meet somewhere in the middle! /boogie
I bet it's the metric system why. Centimeters are like way smaller than Inches, so European Right Wing Extremism is actually less far to the right than in the US when you convert it.
you jest, but the very next post....
yes, fortunately that lack of guns has kept fascists & nazis from ever rising to power out there
I think the nonpresence of PoC in the game has become largely disconnected from the conversation now. Even if we go with Gies's "a few people wandered through there" guess, the population is still so overwhelmingly "white" that I don't see a problem with not having PoC NPCs. Especially considering the diversity the game boasts outside of simply having people with dark skin tone.
you keep calling yourself an European ... but what the hell does that mean??? Europe isnt singular entity so it doesnt really mean anything.
Alt-right fuckwits are alt-right fuckwits no matter the country you are from.
Christ alive. I stated that the crimes were committed overseas. That was where the history took place. The Uks history of white supremacy is one of colonialism.
How is that article not a thread of its own lb the other side?
A lot of people think of diversity as only a matter of skin colour, and think about representation only in relation to the american society.
I did. Seems you failed to do so. I'm separating the game from the creator. The creator is a alt-right piece of garbage.
the summary was a bit trite, and i think we very much could do a whole thread on the history of white supremacy within the UK, but again, since we've established the links between EU & US hate groups this is all a moot point anyway
i thought about making it one (still might) but the bolded bits felt much more applicable to gaming side, where many here don't seem to want to acknowledge those links
so if you are that glorious european (whatever the hell that means) ... have you ever been in country whose history is on the commie side of Iron Curtain??? just curious
I live in a country who history is plagued with 40 years under brutal fascist rule so no, i don't take any alt-right fuckery lightly, because I already know the end game of these pieces of shit, and what they will do once given power. Motherfuckers like these get no quarter.
Ok, I personally have no interest in ignoring a dev’s ideology in order to play something they made.
21:9.you keep calling yourself an European ... but what the hell does that mean??? Europe isnt singular entity so it doesnt really mean anything.
There is huge difference between the countries and european ethincities (especially when it comes to countries from other sides of Iron Curtain )
Its not all black / white / yellow / green / ..what mattered in european bloody history ... it was usually germans, poles, french, czechs ,russians, greeks, .... fighting against each other. Outside of Nazis) there wasnt really any war where race was the main thing (unlike ACW ), it was usually nations and ethicities fighting each other.
And the game is done as love letter to czech history aka the countryt hat has been under foreign rule for over than 5 centuries and quite often oppressed under these rules
just FYI most of the historical research on the game is done by this polish lady and her team
You are allways so fucking hostile man. What country are you from?
Trite?!
And you once again ignore the quotes I was talking about, which were discussing Vavra's terrible views, not the game.
and for those interested in studying the resurgence of nazism, i recommend the SPLC link i posted on this very page, or perhaps opening your eyes a bit
He said "40 years of fascist rule" so it's either Spain or Portugal.
Yes but the way you outlined your statements you made it sound like this thread is not about what is in the game, and I personally think its about both....
