Palpatine did nothing wrong.
yeah and after his reign the empire introduced diversity quotas with predictable results
You could tell from the trailer that the producers were woke retards.
You know what really drives me up a fucking wall with these identity politics being pushed into every fucking type of media now? It's MADE me start noticing race. This shit pisses me off to no end.
I'm not racist. I've never been racist. When I was a kid and a star wars fanatic, Lando wasn't a black guy, he was just a guy. A very, very well-written character whose race didn't even fucking factor into my 12-year old brain.
Now, though? Now every fucking mainstream trailer that comes out has me counting. "Oh look all the villains are white, all the heroes are black/brown, what a fucking surprise, guess I'm not buying this garbage". I can't fucking stand it anymore. It's gotten to the point that I even fucking FEEL racist by thinking these things, but quickly get that shit out of my head because it's not about race. It's about the fucking identity politics.
A GROUP OF 5 BRAVE REBEL HEROES! Oh look, a brown girl, a black girl, an androgynous fucking manwoman, and two aliens, because with aliens you don't even have to worry about what race or gender they are, you can just be assured that they're non-white because GOD FORBID there's a white protagonist in 2020.
Meanwhile, the GROUP OF 5 EVIL EMPIRE VILLAINS! Oh look, a white dude, two white girls, an asian dude (yellow is the new white, amirite?) and another tall (probably male) character in a full suit that doesn't show his race. Who wants to get a betting pool going that the pilot with the helmet on is an evil white male too?
This shit has GOT to fucking stop. I fucking hate myself for even looking at trailers like these and counting the white and the non-white characters and what side they're on, but it's so fucking blatant and on-the-nose these days that I can't even fucking help myself anymore. It's the only way I can avoid wasting 60 dollars on a piece of garbage that gave up trying to be entertaining in the name of pushing a political agenda. Holy fucking shit am I tired of these fucks running hollywood getting their hands on major videogame industry titles now.
You've just described my own thoughts 100%. I hate that I've started noticing race in everything. I never cared about race or even gender growing up and now I can't stop seeing it and just can't watch or play games if I notice shit like this.
Yeah. I think that this year, I have only (re-)watched 70's and 80's movies.
And in every single one of them, it felt like everyone was their character first, instead of just showing up present and in attendance in order to tick off the next box on a diversity checklist.
Fast forward to 2020, and almost every single time, this woke bullshit comes up, it's not so much "telling different stories from marginalised people's perspectives", but just "we're going to shit on everything you love and hold dear, and you're going to pay us for the privilege."
They march under the banner of anti-racism, and they talk about how they want to end racism, but they are nothing more than race hustlers who need to ensure they have a constant stream of (often fabricated) injustice to campaign against.
Man, I rewatched john carpenter's They Live this week and holy shit Keith David knocked it out of the fucking park in that movie. And at no point in the entire movie is there any mention or cop-out to the fact he's a black man. He's just a construction worker like everyone else. So fucking refreshing. No gratuitious shot of the evil white supervisor bullying him because he's black, no random-ass references to how much easier the white workers have it. Nothing. Just two like-minded people, one white, one black, who are both in a shitty situation and decide to fucking do something about a global conspiracy.
This exactly. They aren't being good actors, they are just roleplaying a checkbox.
Demographics is destiny.
The longer you fight the idea of racial difference the harder it'll be to recover from the change.
Race matters.
These days I dont need to count because I never see a white dude
Same for me. It's miserable. And these cucked cunts did this to me.
You mean "it", then.
The game is so cucked it's embarrassing. Character selection: want to play as black asian female? 3 choices. White male? One choice, and he looks like a soyboy.
Unless you pick the rebellion, where there are zero white males to choose. Closest looking are androgynous and latin. And no, you cannot pick an alien race for the story mode.
I'm not even sure why they give the player any choices.
The player isn't there to have have fun and be entertained, they're just showing up for their next voluntary ideological re-education session.
Why can I never get to be a fucking Wookiee?
welcome to the future of gaming
Friendly reminder as people start talking about Star Wars: Squadrons...!
My pronouns in Star Wars: Squadrons are fuckyour/shittyshow.
Thank you!
It's a game.
Same, they couldn't even pay me to pirate it.
I thought it was another Clone Wars/Rebels-style 3D show. Goes to show how much attention I've been paying Star Wars lately.
And pre-order cancled
I'm rooting for the Empire
It?
It.
Its design looks like shit.
I generally like Mirialan characters, but when your skin is yellowish green, you don't dye your hair like that. It looks awful.
I dub them..."it"
Thats why I've ignorecvthis game completely, one advert was enough to show me it was a woke POS
They already had an alien with they them pronouns in starwars it was awesome because it’s species all had multiple personalities normal calm personalities and batshit battle personalities.
Runt is a king.
"It's" that kind of amorphous stub that neither actual gender has any use for.
It's pronouns should be "was/isn't".
It's a fictional character for fucks sake
Not sure if character, or cardboard cutout being used to push a political agenda.
Wait, so you're telling me that Bitch Cryer is shitting up yet another game by thrusting socjus infusions into places that he had no right to be anywhere near?
Must be a day that ends in "Y".
There are good ways to use "they" as a pronoun in sci-fi - a species' culture could lack the words "he" and "she" entirely if a person's sex was viewed as a more intimate subject, and so never developed unique pronouns for the sex of somebody they aren't talking to - but this is just a copy-and-paste of the same stupid bullshit people pull today.
Sadly, the common sense approach doesn't work with these people, as they literally make a living out of "deconstructing language" and shitting all over the existing definitions of words.
Or the previously existing starwars species that had multiple personalities as an evolved trait where they them makes sense because you are usually carrying a conversation with more than one personality.
Or if you're talking about some kind of symbiont, like the "Dax" characters from ST.
There was a recent vox day post about this. What we see in media is not the cream rising to the top. The best writers in the world are systematically passed over for those who have demonstrated their loyalty to the leftist narratives.
This is made worse because A's hire A's and B's hire C's. So once you start hiring based on anything but merit and profitability, you've doomed an industry to mediocrity and seeded it with gatekeepers. Even if the hiring process fixes itself down the line.
well you all keep buying this shit cause it has the star wars name
Feminazis need to make way for the cucks so they can give everything to the Feminazis. It's the circle of life.
You have to be really commited in to being a retard if you hire a games blogger to write games.
No seriously, there's at least two games (This one and the new ratchet and clank) currently doing this (and probably more), it will be the worstly written generations of games ever made mark my words. They'll try to out-Burch Anthony Burch himself.
There is a thread on the subreddit, just sayin'. It's doing rather well.
