Ubisoft apologizes for homophobic slur in The Division 2

Good for them. In general, Ubisoft games are getting more and more progressive and diverse, even introducing things in a low key manner like badass women in positions of power (DIvision, Assassins Creed all have them) and also female combatants in every game they make. There is no place for this kind of shit in their games.
Utterly sickening to try to compare gay people to cops. God, everything I've seen from this game makes it look like a complete fuckin shitshow
by the way please read at least this comment if you're going to come in here and be all confused: https://www.resetera.com/threads/ub...c-slur-in-the-division-2.111007/post-19760861

Really picking and choosing your generalizations there.
That's what I was thinking about too. They could have hired a bunch of contractors to make art pieces for the game. Likely not anyone super close to the game. And a bad egg slipped through.
I mean aside from being yet another Clancy Doomsday Prepper wank piece there's also that awful marketing shit they pulled with the "real government shutdown"
Hah!
I mean, this artwork is taken from a Black Flag EP cover that also uses the f-slur, which I'll decline to post here despite having the shirt. But the addition of this badge is... weirdly unnecessary.

are we really going to not all cops this thread. are we really going to do this. what the fuck people.
Isn't this a somewhat post apocalyptic setting? I'd expect more awful and disgusting shit going on. Or is there any other context I'm missing and not aware of?
I'm familiar with leet speak and I never would have noticed it unless someone pointed it out. Not many people calling people that in the communities I frequented I guess.
I assume they know who produced the asset either way.
queer person here. We appreciate the effort, but you can stand down, we're good thanks
I know. It's trying to call cops bad by using derogatory language for gay people. Hell, even calling cops pigs upsets me because even pigs don't deserve to be compared to cops
Good to see that they've rectified it -- I'm surprised someone even noticed it. I am sure whoever did the piece of art will be punished accordingly.
I really need to look up more often in this game to make sure I shoot down the loot crates!

I think that's honestly a little bit unfair on Ubi as a whole. This is hidden away like an easter egg -- probably less than 1 half of 1% of people playing the game would ever see it. It was almost certainly a rogue artist trying to be funny or edgy.
Games the size of Ubisoft titles get shit loads of outsourcing for things like art. I wouldn't be shocked at all if this didnt come from anyone working at Massive / Ubisoft themselves but instead from contract work. Much harder to oversee small stuff like this
What the heck are you talking about? Not only has the game reviewed well, been received well and is doing amazing. Devs have been supporting the game, fixing busted content, and showing us a roadmap. Leaps and bounds better than the first game.
Also, I really doubt they did that on purpose. Like it was stated, it's really had to spot everything. And even then how many people actually noticed that? Fun fact, did you know FA6607 is also a hex code for the color orange?
If anything Ubisoft should write the handbook on how to handle a game launch and supplemental updates correctly.
Whatever this is, this ain't it chief.
It's stupid and offensive for both cops and members of the LGB community. But at no time did I think cops = gays.
But.. but this is the game that starts with the "do you own a gun? Does your neighbor? Well there's a chance one of you might have survived" shit that is legit straight out of NRA propaganda, isn't it?
Second game in the series that opens with you killing violent 'looters' and one of the gangs is an analogue for black lives matter (played as if the movement doesn't really care about black lives (e.g. virtue signaling) and is just a front for a power grab)? That series?
User banned (1 week): trolling
I appreciate your gusto.
On the ResetERA forums the moderators have a monopoly on force (as much force as can be applied to people on an internet forum, banning and temp banning). The same disparity of power exists between normal users and moderators as exists between normal citizen and the police. The stakes are much, much lower in ERAs case but they are proportional.
Basically, I dont BELIEVE your ACAB posturing until I hear you call Slayven an asshole. Do it. I wanna see it. Then Ill believe you.
Hey guys whats u-
O
I see. Interesting topic about the division 2, I'm slightly confused, but

I honestly don't mean to sound like an asshole, but I don't get it? Does that number have something to do with a meme itself or including a donut?
you got mute in your name and don't know how to do it. seems ill-fitting.
im glad someone saw this and ubi will hopefully adjust it instead of outright removing it. one of the best parts of the adventure in DC has been stumbling on some of these art pieces.
