>After getting quite a bit of positive attention on Thursday, Little Devil Inside is facing some backlash a day later. One of the titles shown off at the PS5 reveal event, the upcoming game is being accused of including some enemies that are racist caricatures. >Twitch streamer Lord Balvin was among the first to draw attention to the character models, but others on social media soon agreed the designs were troubling. >The streamer posted a picture of the characters in question on his Twitter account. The characters look to be a play on the stereotypical appearance of African tribal people. They are clothed only in loincloth and white face masks. Behind the masks trail long dreadlocks.
This is not cool. Racism&politics don't belong in gaming. Do you think more games should be change because they are offensive?
I think you need to grow a spine, get over it, and stop being a trigger ready faggot.

I thought you guys wanted to get rid of black people in video games?

Fuck them, evil little pygmies are my favourite trope

Oh... and you made the mistake of linking an un-archived, direct version of that article. Nice try. This is now a House thread, because that cat reminded me of the cat from House.
They just want to complain for the attention. You can never win.

Give people an inch and they won't stop until they've taken the very concept of miles away from you and shame you for ever thinking you could stop them in the first place

I fucking knew it, I knew they'd say something the moment I saw it.
I have literally never seen pygmy enemies with dreads, not even real pygmys have dreads. how can it be a stereotype?

Why even bother? >"that's racist, I'm not going to buy this game" >devs change design >"You were racist, I'm still not going to buy this game"

>you cant show realistic black people might as well only show white people and have people complain about NO diversity
What a pain in the FUCKING ass holy shit. Fuck these crybaby nigger retards, I wish people would grow a spine and stop bending over backwards for these asspie lowlives already. Ignoring the horseshit this game looks really cool, very much looking forward to it.

Depends who you ask. I think people mainly take issue with them consistently being depicted as dangerous, unhinged and backwards and overall inferior to western culture. For generations, the tribal savage was used as a justification for the invasion and enslavement of native Africans, Polynesians, Natives etc. So them being a negative stereotype has everything to do with the way they were portrayed and the image they conveyed throughout history.
I mean Vikings wearing horned-helmets and swinging giant swords getting drunk is also a huge stereotype but nobody takes issue with this, especially not Scandinavians because this imagery was never used to undermine their culture or attempt to make them feel inferior(at least not successfully), on the contrary, it celebrates it.
If the tribal savage was a cool and positive stereotype throughout history, I doubt people would be this mad.
Like I said, I'm not bothered by this and am a huge proponent of freedom of speech but people acting like they don't know why others might be offended are every bit a problem as those who get offended.

damn, why do faggots always feel the need to ruin everything
