Naughty Dog racist? (Update: Article writer was hired by Naughty Dog)

[MischievousMonkey]

How was the article BS. Even white boys on Reset was like shyt got some truth to it. Naughty Dog full of shyt got dykes beating brute like black men. Lead black men no real screen time getting killed by dykes.

Black men killing themselves and blacks in general always being vulnerable.

The part where she compares Nora breathing spores to George Floyd's "I can't breathe" and how she couldn't stomach it, among other things.
That's a personal problem she's projecting onto the game.

Only point iirc she had was the brute black man. For the rest, everybody had the same treatment. Trying to tone down a game that's supposed to be brutal because they included black characters in the brutality of it all is bs, in my opinion.

And Abbie was not a dyke, Ellie is the p*ssyvore.

From the first trailer they showed I felt the game was clearly torture porn trying to elicit a reaction from the player.

Just so happens that throughout the game it’s the black people catching most of the hell and their death/tourture simply serves as a plot point and character development for the white characters.

Yes it’s a fukked up world and everyone has it bad, but the black characters get no type of relief or positivity, or meaningful development. They exist merely as stepping stones for other characters development.

As it says in the article they gave the dogs a more meaningful existence.

And you even saw it in the reactions of reviewers and fans. They talked about how hard it was to kill the dogs and how the other characters in the world took it hard which made killing them meaningful. But bashing the helpless black ladies head in with a pole “meh had to be done

Don’t have to be intentional but the shyts ingrained in American society. Black suffering is normal and even applauded.

Don’t see how so many young black males on this site applaud this games story and writing as the best ever with this glaring racism ingrained into the plot.

It was nothing to kill them dumb ass dogs


DUKE!!!!!!
bytch fukk Duke.

The only kill that made me feel a way was poor old Isaac. Just tryna wipe out the last remnant of insanity in the region but ultimately a victim of his own success and a cold blooded liberal

Wasn’t Joel’s death very violent too? The game is extremely violent and the world very bleak and full of nasty characters. Let’s not act like the black characters die horrible deaths whilst the white characters get a nice pleasant death.

And also OP who’s clearly an xbot is only making this thread because it’s a Sony game.

They should have let you kill Joel like you killed Nora





I need that in the ps5 update


Team abby

Dumbass article

That bytch nora literally held down and knocked out Tommy by pistol whipping his head while her friends tortured Joel

Trying to make her out to be some righteous strong girlboss is pathetic

Xbots continue to show their ass

She was there ?




I remember that dude tommy sniped there

Tommy headshot that boy something ridiculous

That’s what you weirdos are doing.

You act like the entire game isn’t on the internet to watch.

“You have not played it”

Doesn’t erase the big brute black man stereotype.

What’s crazy is y’all talk so bad about Resetera but even they are able to have a reasonable conversation about this. Fans of the game and nautydog are being honest about the issue and this story.

But you clowns here are upset and calling people stans instead.

Play the piff breh

Who does in TLOU? Almost every character dies a tragic and/or gruesome death, or lives a life of despair and misery. Author is bugging and already lost me.

Does any black character live ?

I honestly just feel like there are better terms than just labeling entire studio as "racist". You throw a bunch of white people in a room and tell them to come up with a story, why would we expect that black people would be represented well in that story? Now, the burden 100% falls on naughty dog to get qualified talented black writers to represent us correctly if they are gonna include us in games, even if its just someone that can say, "that looks bad". White people left unchecked even if well meaning are going to get it wrong, especially if they weren't raised around black people and believe it or not a vast majority of white people aren't.

the biggest problem with TLOU and TLOU2 (and to a lesser degree uncharted with the voice actress) is the fact that there just aren't a lot of black people represented in the game, period. The ones who are are get lumped into the slaughter, similar to the few asians and latinos. There is a silver lining in that the black people represented weren't stereotypical, in the first game they were two brothers, in the same situation that joel and ellie were in, they seemed like two common people who weren't into fukk shyt either like Joel. You also have Ellies love interest, who was pretty much the same as ellie except she wanted to be apart of the fireflies, again nothing abnormal there.

then you have the leader of WLF which was an incredible performance, albeit a short one by jeffery wright, he was the leader of an entire army, one that pretty much all got slaughtered but still...you have marlene leader of the fireflies, killed with the rest of them in the hospital. The point im making is that a majority of black people are actually in prominent roles in the story, very rarely are they just simply used as red shirts meant to as easy kills for the protagonist, their deaths mostly have significant ramifications to the story. The best thing they could have done, is leave one alive.

The most egregious use of a black character is the brute you fight at the end that seems almost super human, like pain doesn't even bother him. Thats until you also consider he's not really the only brute in the game like that, theres an entire boss fight in abbys storyline that has a big bertha white bytch that seems similarly pcp'd up and impossible to kill.



so, in my opinion it's not really "racist" its just typical tone deaf shyt that white people do because we aren't a major part of their lives. They don't really stop and consider the optics of where and how to properly place us into their media without knowing how it effects peoples views of us.
