 RACISM! 

This is beyond the realm of video games, even though that's the medium he's discussing.

Oh ENGLAND, you're obscenely exaggerated version of political correctness will someday cause the end of you.

Shadowblind, its certainly not only America.

Didn't England ban singing "Baa Baa Black Sheep" in schools? Now it's "Baa Baa Rainbow Sheep"

Also, now TWO of the survivors are black. Does that make it less or more racist? Even the girl is black.

And look at the "X" coming out of the girl's gun! "X" = wrong. Does that mean being black is wrong?

Wow, this is a racist game. We should do a protest.

No. That's not saying there is anything wrong with being black because the black guy doesn't have an X over him. It's saying there is something wrong with being a woman. What a sexist game. 

Or maybe it's saying women shouldn't be allowed to fire guns!

It's not only racist, it's racist AND sexist. I bet it hates Jews as well.

The game even has swastikas! This is unacceptable!

Ok, so let me get this straight. I can shoot White, Nazis, and Asians. But I can not shoot African Americans? What about Hispanics? Can I shoot them?

Yes, see RE4.

 

The only peopel you CANNOT shoot are African Americans.

 

Everyone else is free game.

You can't shoot Africans either. See Resident Evil 5.

Something else un-shootable.

Dogs, see Call of Duty 4.

If they are zombie dogs they are shootable I believe.

But if they are real, then you are correct.


What if they are African zombie dogs?

That would be offensive enough to create a black hole. Or a white hole. Whichever is less offensive.

RACIST! It has to be a BLACK HOLE. White holes have just been keeping them down. Or wait...no it can't be a Black hole! Thats steriotyping the holes created by imploding stars! White hole it is. But wait...no, thats saying Black holes can't do the same work white holes can...

GAH! I'm so confused X_X

so now it's just white and black holes? You two are racist on principle for not acknowledging the possibility of there being other colored holes..

Shooting hispanic people is acceptable but not admitting that hispanic holes exist is not.

Hispanic isn't a color, silly! It's a lifestyle choice.

But let's not forget that the Galgamex have their own green black hole 70 feet wide and filled with teeth.

Whoever gets the reference gets a cookie.

Haha the posts throughout this thread is hilarious

I don't have a problem blasting Nazis in "Call of Duty" and "Medal of Honor." I don't have a problem lighting up Imperial Army soldiers with my flamethrower in "World at War." But I do have a problem blasting soldiers in our country's Civil War.

Translation: It's only racist when it effects *me and my colour* fuck the rest!

Seriously, I've heard of stupid, but this guys has to rank amongst the biggest hypocrite ever. He has no problem with game developer being "racist" against any other nationality or colour except his own, then the shit hits the fan!

I assumed all the zombies would be black after I heard it was set in New Orleans. I guess Valve didn't bother visiting before deciding the setting of the game. I wonder if the locations will be accurate.
