LMAO, the so called “Gamer journalists” at The Gamer ( more like social activists) are getting traumatized over an achievement in a game LMAO 🤣
How fragile do you have to be to try to cancel a game just because an achievement is just beyond me.
It’s a game about selling meth bro, relax
Normalizing racism isn’t ok, even “as a joke”. It gives “full on” racists excuse to be more bold.
Oh, the journalists wrote and article that you clicked on and shared, and maybe even commented on on their website? And it points out a particularly problematic part of an otherwise pretty good game?
Fantastic, they did their job well.
I enjoyed playing the game but that achievement and “jennerising” really did leave a sour taste in my mouth (the latter is a drug effect that temporarily changes your body type). Though I found “tropic thunder” giving you dark skin somewhat amusing. Humour is subjective, and I could honestly accept all of these being just a tad too far to be funny anymore, in which case I’d rather the game was more friendly to everyone (and it’s better for its success too).
To have some fun though at your expense; the funnily appropriate way you mistyped a sentence:
try to cancel a game just because an achievement
I assume you missed the word “of” but it lets me ask: just because an achievement is what? Come on, say it.
All that aside:
I’m surprised someone on the fediverse is using “social activist” as a pejorative though tbh. Moving away from centralised social media is similarly a way to speak out against social issues you believe in.
