Great game, I keep going back to it. Honestly without all the woke nonsense going around, if it HAD a random Black character, I wouldn't have thought much about it. I'm no historian so what do I know is accurate? And it's "only a game".
But that fact that they keep doing it on purpose makes me resent any such changes now. (and specifically look for non-woke media)
Exactly. And I know there were some Africans in Europe but mostly in Southern Europe. Kingdom Come made a point to be as historic as possible and the fact the stood by their guns and didn’t change due to criticism made me support them.
There's an entire continent with a large diversity of various black peoples. Yet, the progressives never attempt to do anything with it, unless, ironically, it involves whites.
Exactly. I’ve said before they should do a show about Mansa Musa but since his empire was gone before Europeans arrived they can’t blame white ppl. If they were really brave I think a miniseries about the wealthiest black slave owner in America would be fascinating. Can’t remember his name though.
You make a good point. I like period pieces because I am interested in that history. So if there is a show about Medieval England I want to see medieval England, not some woke garbage. Same with any other continent
Also if you did period pieces from other parts of the world they would have to show that slavery/land conquest/tribal warfare is as old as time across the world
Yes and I'd totally play a Kingdom Come-style game set in AFRICA or CHINA. I'm sure that would contain some very interesting history. And it wouldn't need any White people at all.
I loved Dynasty Warriors and in either the second or third game they had an encyclopedia with info about the actual history of the ancient Chinese kingdoms
I love that twitter discussion that went around between one of the devs and an SJW. It's not like these devs are white nationalists or hate black people, they were just trying to make a historical game and didn't care about American zog bullshit.
The sjw was crying about "representation" and the dev asked "How is it my responsibility to represent them? There's an entire continent of them, are they not capable of representing themselves?"
The sjw tried to report him to his boss saying "Um, one of your team members is implying that black people are incompetent and can't create media for themselves, are you gonna stand for this?" (which of course he never did, he was asking if that's what she thought of them), and it turns out he was the boss, she reported him to himself.
It sounds ridiculous now, but back in the day the discussion around the Witcher 3 is really what got me into researching.... the situation we find ourselves in. I mean I was always generally anti-pc, but not seriously, just in that kid-who-likes-South-Park way.
I was having a conversation about the lack of black characters, and they were so passionate about it, and their argument was so illogical, and I knew that they wouldn't ever make it if the game was set anywhere other than a white setting, that it legitimately made me do some soul searching and realize, maybe things are actually way worse than I thought.
I liked Robert Egger's other movies, The Witch and The Lighthouse. Fair warning though, they can get surreal and ambiguous, which I know isn't everyone's cup of tea. (The Lighthouse moreso)
Keep talking. If people like that hate it I’ll be more than willing to buy a ticket. Same reason I bought the video game Kingdom Come

And when resident evil went there it was racism to shoot the Africans.
Because it never left the iron age and would be boring. How long can you chuck spears in a skirt made of grass before you get bored?

That is hilarious

The Witch has been on my radar, I had no idea it was the same guy who did The Lighthouse. That was a great movie.
