The "progressives" seeing Jews whenever there's a goblin will never cease to be funny to me. Same goes for seeing Blacks from orcs, or Blacks/"natives" from savage barbarians, etc. They just can't help themselves!

It's especially funny - but also frustrating - that they're the ones who wanted this. They want the politics in games/entertainment, they want everything to be an analogy for racial or class oppression. So even if you have a game that has some native faction that is oppressed and is an obvious and intentional real-world analogy for how bad Hwitey is, if that analog isn't straight up Wakanda-levels of Kang, the white-bashing is racist against blacks because the latter weren't portrayed as perfect 200 IQ beings.

It gets weirder. I've seen people complain about the axe guy in soul caliber because he's obviously white washed native. He's a traditional German warrior from the point of view from a crazy Japanese point of view.

The axe guy? Astaroth? He's a fucking GOLEM.

Oy vey cut it with the antisemitic dogwhistles, goyim!

But I assume they mean Rock, the character Astaroth is a clone of. Who is an English guy who grew up in America with the Natives before coming back to Europe for the games to take place.

Yeah, now I remember Rock's backstory. And of course, that just reminds me that they kinda did the same thing with Setsuka. A European girl that ended up in Japan and raised by a swordmaster (that was killed by Mitsurugi).

Soul Calibur backstories are always convoluted like that, but it makes for an actual diverse cast compared to basically any other fighting game.

Which is why I love it so much more than the rest.

Not astaroth. The one with the bear or buffalo head as a helmet.

Oh, Rock. Yeah, I'm a latecomer to the series (started with 2 or 3, really), to the point that when Rock came back, he was a giant mace guy rather than an axe guy, with a very slightly different moveset to Astaroth.

One's short, scheming, greedy with a big nose. The other's a goblin /s

They lost so badly on that 'boycott' that it might as well be called dashcon. More Jewish people played Hogwarts Legacy than even glance at this attempt to label it as antisemitic.

Why does every comment in this thread have 1 downvote?

Just like there's certainly accounts/bots that automatically downvote Impy, there's probably one lurking for whenever discussion of They Who Must Not Be Named arises, and downvote everything

Because old goblin lore is based off jews?

They're jumping the gun and making assumptions (as usual).

The Goblin Rebellions were a series of rebellions in which the goblin population of the wizarding world revolted against discrimination and prejudice toward their kind by wizards and witches.

I'm betting the goblins turn out to not be the real bad guys anyways, or that some goblins come to your aid. That paper looks like it's supposed to be propaganda.

Nope. Goblins absolutely are the final enemy, although you do fight one their quisling human turncoats eventually and beat him.

Midway through the story it's revealed that the source of the conflict between wizards and goblins is because the goblin concept of ownership is "I made it, therefore I own it and you."

That reminds me. Hogwart's Legacy is on sale on Steam right now. 30% off.

– Kienan 4 points 2 years ago +4 / -0

41% off on both GMG and IndieGala according to ITAD. ~$35. Sadly the additional coupons don't seem to work, or it would be 51% off on GMG. Still an all-time low though.

Also, random aside, Augmented Steam and SteamDB are very handy browser extensions.

And yet you're still mad.

I remember you lied about the stats repeatedly on this one, too. Also, as we discussed at the time, it's a single-player game. Of course it's going to be a flash in the pan type of thing. It still did really well.

Your worldview is that literally everything is "funding the enemy". Why do you even still have currency? Shouldn't you be living in the woods where the feminists can't influence you?

Buddy, they literally added the pronoun bullshit to the recent one. If that isn't a sign that it's pozzed by feminists to you, idk how obvious it has to be.

I don't give a shit about fucking pronouns.

"I don't care about the destruction of my native language and culture as long as I can simp for Microsoft" is what you're saying.

Apparently your hatred of feminists isn't as strong as your desire to deepthroat Ol' Billy boy.

They promote female drivers and women's day. Brainwashed simps keep supporting the feminazis. Sad!
