Right wingers don’t throw tantrums over these things - specifically talking about olympics and superbowl here - especially today. So if somehow you’ve run across someone who is doing this, it really IS weird.
Now when it comes to games and stuff - Games are meant to pander to the audience buying them, so it IS jarring when someone makes a game about 1185 feudal Japan, and there’s a 20% black population in the game somehow…or when you’re talking about a fighting game, but they refuse to make any of the women look fit, etc.
Show me these tantrums about black people in the olympics and superbowl please. I’ll wait. Lemmy has turned into Left-Wing Truth Social at this point. I don’t know if it’s because people have lost their collective shit over the Trump election or what. About 6 months ago, people were a lot more reasonable…or I was talking to AI chatbots from Iran…which, might have actually been more reasonable and intelligent.
I don’t watch mainstream media or TV for that matter, so pardon me for not knowing about this shit. Like, how many people actually complained about this shit for real though?
I thought this was about black football players, or black athletes.
You still haven’t convinced me that this is real. Oh noooo some twitter twat posted something racist.
You can probably find anything you want from cherry picking twitter posts.
I hang out in the real world, with real people, and not a one of them has ever said anything remotely of the sort; despite tons of them talking about the super bowl recently.
You didn’t answer the question – how…many…people…actually complained? Like 10? On Twitter?
Goalposts haven’t moved. They’re still solidly at “prove this actually happened”. 4 twitter posts is not “The right wing was angry at black people being in the super bowl!”
We gotta break … I dunno … 1% of people talking about the superbowl complaining about black people and/or DEI for this to be considered an event that happened for me.
That’s because Tv is now designed for outrage, and none of it is truthful. Didn’t your parents ever teach you to not believe everything told to you?
The thing is - when shit like this is truthful, it starts to get talked about in larger and larger circles. If I haven’t heard about it, it’s likely because it’s some tiny community, and some news network is using it as rage-bait.
It’s being blasted all over social media. I only open Facebook to use Marketplace, but even just briefly opening it today my feed was filled with tantrums about the halftime show.
No one is forcing you to play the new Assassin’s Creed game.
Did you know that black people play video games too? Sometimes even women?
Video games are also not porn, so I’m not sure why you need all the female characters to be fuckable. There are ample modding communities if you are really that desperate to goon.
This shit is so funny, because it’s the opposite. Hoards of loudmouthed perpetually online complaining about characters who were scanned in from actual actors being “unrealistic”. Sorry that not being overweight triggers you. Sorry about your racism and being triggered by “the whites”. Wouldn’t want to hurt your feelings, so we made all the characters uglier than you. HAHA. The problem solves itself, all of these instances the games TANKED. They made the games for you, and then YOU DIDN’T EVEN BUY THEM! HAHA
You seem pretty triggered mate - maybe have a lie down? I’ve never been particularly bothered by playing a white or black protagonist. Sometimes I play video games with protagonists who are frogs or lizard people. Video games are fun, and I don’t really get upset by video games that aren’t for me - otherwise the yearly FIFA/2K releases would probably get really difficult to make it through.
Something funny I was thinking about you mentioned earlier - you know people were having all kinds of interpretation of Cloud’s cross dressing scene way before the remake came out? If you try pretty hard, you can actually go on the Golden Saucer date with Barrett in the OG (This is how I can tell you aren’t a real gamer by the way - complaining about FF7 without knowing Jack shit.) But yeah, I’m pretty sure I saw hundreds of Cloud crossdressing doujin back in the early oughts lol.
I took your advice, and it’s almost impossible to actually find anything on using those terms. There’s one article on Yahoo out of all of the links that corroborates the claim, there’s some links to threads which are praising the diversity, but I’m not seeing the same thing you are.
So yeah, I find it hard to believe this is a true thing, when even searching Google doesn’t bring up much about it.
I am starting to think the people saying this is a thing, are in some sort of rage-bait algorithm because the companies have found it drives engagement with them.
Or I’m in the opposite bubble where they have found I don’t engage much with race-baiting.
Legitimately, even searching for this brings up almost nothing for me.
I live in an area that is very red. People OPENLY bring this shit up in idle conversation all the fucking time. I work in sales, and people OPENLY talk about this unprompted while I’m just trying to do my job.
This…isn’t a thing.

It would be weird, if i couldn’t set my watch to it happening.
Dumb take.
I’ve seen what you think is a “smart” take, and I’ll go ahead and take my chances.
You’re one of those people who think Rick from Rick and Morty is really cool, right?
You…need actual help.
Never heard of the last 2
Hello welcome to Earth, which galaxy are you coming from?

Bruh. Nice edit. I have some stuff for the super bowl.
Here’s an article. Low quality but it’s reporting on Twitter nonsense so that’s to be expected:

Here’s the tweet I saw:
Dude wants to say the n word so badly

“I don’t know about it so it’s not real.” Typical moron logic.
You still haven’t convinced me that this is real. Oh noooo some twitter twat posted something racist.

Not our obligation, and I don’t think anyone’s interested in convincing someone who doesn’t seem to be acting in good faith.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, keep moving those goalposts. I’m not playing your stupid games.
Goalposts haven’t moved. They’re still solidly at “prove this actually happened”. 4 twitter posts is not “The right wing was angry at black people being in the super bowl!”
We gotta break … I dunno … 1% of people talking about the superbowl complaining about black people and/or DEI for this to be considered an event that happened for me.
The bar is EXTRAORDINARILY low for this.
What do you want me to do, find every Twitter post and do a quantitative analysis? If you want to know what the Internet is saying, just go listen.
Doesn’t watch mainstream media or TV
Confidently expresses authoritative opinion about mainstream media and TV
wut

You literally stormed in here to start raging… About something you later admit you have zero knowledge of.
Just like that “tiny community” that owns a large portion of our media and control all 3 branches of gov…
And yet here you are, throwing a right wing tantrum.
No one is forcing you to play the new Assassin’s Creed game.

You’re absolutely pathetic.

Just go to Twitter and search “DEI Super Bowl” it “DEI halftime”, Ave you’ll see exactly what print are talking about.
