"OH HEEEEELLLL NO! DIS SH*T BET NOT BE REAL!! SOMEBODY NEED DEY A$$ BEAT!!"I just knew that was going to happen... I'm not entirely sure where this came from or what sparked this, but I DO know that this is fake. Some clever mind knew that this would evoke extreme anger in people of a certain color because we just got over slavery and it is WAY too soon to be making jokes about it.
...plus there's the fact that there's no such thing as "Javelin Reds Games".
But seriously, we gotta go back to the selective judgment thing. I know that this is offensive. I surely acknowledge that fact. But you all are willing to go ape sh*t over this historical accuracy--where people were physically abused and malnourished while others made a profit off of their labor. Meanwhile, there are other games out that not only brutally kill children, women, and the elderly, but that degrade women horribly...
But it's whatever. Y'all pick your favorites...
New game announced: Slave uprising. Become leader of the slaves, rally against traders and murder your owner! Bring down the confederates!
ReplyDeleteIn seriousness, why are people still offended by this, it's part of history and if your proud of it or (I hope) not, it can't be changed. Rather let people learn something of this both cultural and historical. If you keep slavery a taboo you'll never get over it. Taboo's suck because they prevent story's being told and learning from them.
Also if it does offend you... Do you play Call of Duty? You are murdering muslims, so you think you are more worth than a muslim? That's racist and you are a supremacist! You care Obama is the first colored president of the USA? You are racist! Color or religion doesn't matter we are all worth the same.
Let's be happy we are different. If we all were tiny blue men wearing white pants and a white hat the world would be far more boring. Difference doesn't mean inequality. 2+2=4 so is 1+3.
Thank you, Anonymous :)
