Within context, it’s not as bad as the OP and tweet makes it out to be.


@5:50

It’s basically russian looney tunes from a long time ago. Probably should be removed from the game, but this isn’t something the devs/artists drew up themselves.

game is set in the 50s-60s, so it fits the time period :yeshrug: people were racist back in the day and it showed in the media.

Oh…

The racist imagery in Atomic Heart comes from the cartoon Nu, Pogodi! (Well, Just You Wait!). It’s a Soviet riff on Tom and Jerry, with the central premise being the Wolf chasing the Hare, and all 22 episodes can be viewed in-game. The episode in question is number 12, “Museum,” and first aired on April 8, 1978,

Very historically accurate.

Those Russian fakkits are still racist now. Stop tap dancing

I didn't see any racist Fleischer cartoon clips in the Fallout games
:yeshrug: then either A don't play it or B report them/boycott
Probably won't play the game because the gameplay looks stiff so no harm no foul to me, doesn't make it acceptable though

I really dont get the whole "but the game is made by {non-American] developers!" excuse.

Like that shyt wouldve made sense 20-30 years ago, but we're well into the internet age today. This kinda racist shyt is inexcusable when you're doing business on a global level. And we know how cacs move - this shyt was most likely an intentional dog whistle.

And we all know if this was some anti trans shyt, then all those platforms from KF to resetera would by boycotting the game lol.
