Forums - Gaming Discussion - Tim Schafer Makes Racist Joke At GDC

Clicked the link to the article and read that it was about #GamerGate so I'm just bailing out now.

At first I thought that whole thing was just about corruption in videogames journalism(which I was always keen on and is especially bad* within the games industry), then a whole bunch of stuff happened and muddied the waters(I think there were death threats and doxxing at one point, which I don't even know how that would come into this thing), and now I have no idea what it's about anymore.





*Bad in that journalists are way too close to publishers and developer and sometimes look for ways into the game industry through journalism or are from PR backgrounds and the whole issues with ads and marketing influencing scores and the industry in general being very tight knit.

" Rebellion Against Tyrants Is Obedience To God"

Oh dear God, please bless us with another black plague.*

*I'm sorry, it'd be racist to say that. I meant "African-American" plague as the former term has been deemed as bad.

Instead we’ll be looking at the #NotYourShield hashtag, which is filled with ‘minorities’ (we hate this term, what is a minority? I mean, in Africa, is an African a minority? What about in China? Is a Chinese person a minority?)

............

Should I bother to keep reading?

He deserves to have his ballsack cut for that joke!

Um...where's the racism at? Ether the joke was so poorly constructed to the point where Tim forgot he was supposed to be racist or there really was no racism at all. Also, why does there need to be a long, complex and poorly written article explaining where the racism comes in? Apparently, people don't know how to do deeply offensive comedy anymore. It should be decisive and direct! Where'a 1980's Eddie Murphy when you need him?

I blame badgenome. I thought you might get a laugh at his lame joke but it seems I was wrong.
