And it seems your idea of racist is anybody who doesn't agree with your views.
You really trying to compare what I said, to what he said
My idea of racist is someone who, in a society that's run by whites, and is for the advancements and maintenance by whites, defends said status quo and embellishes their approval by using smoke screen talking points .
You guys are using an article where it references him defending naughty dog as proof of him being racist while you yourselves defended naughty dogYou really trying to compare what I said, to what he said
@Prodigal Syndicate a racist cac confirmed
I've said nothing about neogaf.A terribly written hit piece by someone that probably posts on neogaf?
You know for a guy that claims he hates neogaf you are constantly regurgitating shyt from that place.
I don't see anything damming in that article at all.
In fact,how do you know so much about him anyway?
I garauntee you've probably never listened to him and are just repeating what you read over there.
Same argument alt white cacs run with all over the web.
at you and your ilk.
I'm of the ilk where I don't presume to know what every single person is in life without actually knowing them.
More code words
To be clear, because I see where you're going with this, I haven't said what he is or isn't. I'm just saying what I suspect of him as from other folks I've seen share similar views like his.
Again, you haven't told me what do you define as racist?? I can bet you $100 you'll never hear "******" or any other racial slur on those gaming podcasts. Again, if your idea of racist is simply racial slurs/interpersonal racism then you can confirm your idea that he's not racist.
Again, you're asking for evidence of something that's very hard to prove because the criteria/prerequisites of racism is largely different depending on who you ask.
I dislike outrage culture and silencing everyone since it's good to hear what people has to say but with that being said but if someone is in particular upset about certain out rage and themselves selectively blocking people who disagree with them it rings some alarms. he's been said to have block lots and lots of people on twitter who don't agree with his views and he's made tweets suggesting staunch disapproval of Colin kapernick for example.
I appreciate the thoughtful response
I've never sat down and defined racism for myself to be honest. And to be clear I'm not white,I'm Latino, Peruvian. And I moved to Canada when I was 6 for what it's worth. I grew up with literally people of every race and religion.
I agree the colin kaep thing IS hypocritical but in fairness there's no human being that isn't hypocritical.
Like I've said I disagree with his politics and a lot of his world views.
But I also understood where he was coming from intellectually,most of the time.
When he says diversity for diversity sake the way I've understood it is he is saying you shouldn't feel obligated or consigned to having every race and religion in your product just because. Do it because it makes sense for your story.
I've never heard him complain about diversity in games. I've heard lavish praise on guerilla and games like mafia 3 for doing it right.
I've never heard him say we'll I can't relate to this character,I've never heard him upset about someone being cast in a white role.
Now just because I haven't heard it doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Like I've said,I only started listening to them a few months ago. I only started listening to their gaming stuff. I don't follow him on twitter. So there may be something I'm missing.
It's easy to label someone something. Everybody is a cac or a c00n in this forum for example.
I see a witch hunt on colin on neogaf for every single thing he says.
So sometimes it's hard to separate the truth from over reactions and faux out rage.
I'm all ears though. I have no longterm connection to him. If someone can show me the racism I'm right there with anybody hating him.
I'm not trying to tell anybody about anything.A Latino Canadian trying to tell black folks about racism in America
People in here are trying to tell you how it's veiled racism but you don't want to hear it. We've delt with this type of hidden racist since forever. We see it. You can't see it cause you don't have the life experience to understand.
If it walks talks and quacks like a duck............
Hey hey there's white latinosI appreciate the thoughtful response
I've never sat down and defined racism for myself to be honest. And to be clear I'm not white,I'm Latino, Peruvian. And I moved to Canada when I was 6 for what it's worth. I grew up with literally people of every race and religion.
To me, I can too understand where folks like him "come from." It's somewhere I don't want to come from to be frank. They're just basically on a self preservation standpoint but that standpoint usually means black people driven out/killed/erased. Like when he seems to be ridiculing Colin for his acts yet seem to ignore the history of the act itself. Like he's unaware that the star spangled banner song is a celebration of slavery?? It's a reason the third verse isn't on the one sung at football games. So Colin was right
I see where he's saying this but to me I hear it as "Don't put ____ in this because they're ____, put them in if it makes sense." The problem with that is the default slate for almost every game in this instance, starts with a white protagonist and since the dominant society at hand typically has handed out typical roles for non whites, it almost always conveniently not make "sense" to have others in the game.
Sometimes these characters aren't bothered by the occasional non white in these roles, what I'd like to see if if say for example SE made a JRPG that featured a majority black cast. Since their worlds aren't based on reality, there'd be no "it's not making sense" arguments. I'd like to see those guys react to that.
The thing with showing racism is that I find it a silly endeavor. Whites, especially in USA/EUR have long become hip to being labeled racist. They'll speak in code. They won't say "blacks" or blatant slurs. They'll just attack things that "black" people stand for and argue around it while looking "non racist" because they're not saying "racist" things.
