Yeah because black people didn't enslave white people for hundreds of years (or at all) lol

It has very obvious negative racial imagery that match up with what is one of the worst abuses of humanity in history. There is something very wrong with it. Yes it's just optics, I'm sure the people who came up with this didn't mean anything racist by it, but the fact that they didn't realize how bad this looks means they weren't thinking clearly. People see racism when the optics of something shouts racism! As this immediately does.

They were thinking clearly. They werent thinking in colors. Which is what we all should strive for.

How can you make this statement with a straight face? They weren’t thinking in colors? How not? Black vs white PlayStation. Black vs white person. That’s literally what they were doing.

Anyway, this conversation has nothing to do with the new Zelda trailer and I regret that my original comment spawned this path, but that’s just the world we live in today. 

On topic:

I’m guessing the next glimpse we’ll see of this title is the February Direct followed by (and I really hope this doesn’t happen) a dedicated Tears of the Kingdom Direct. For those who are complaining that these trailers aren’t showing enough, I’m in the opposite camp that’d rather just go into the experience as blind as possible.
