If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

This seems to be getting off-topic of RPGs. Regarding the Extra Credits videos...

Quote from: Reckall on April 04, 2021, 04:41:12 AMI really liked their historical videos. The serie about Catherine the Great made me buy some books. They were creative, informative and fun.

The first time that I felt a chilly wind was when they pushed out a video about "Representation of women in videogames". It was unneeded and full of crap. I'm now wondering if it is their videogame branch that went rogue and got woke. All their biggest fiascoes are born from it.

1: same. Their history pieces were really good.

2: Theyve been inserting little woke jabs into their Authors series now and I pretty much quit them. I suspect eventually it will creep into their History pieces as well, if it has not already.

There's a thread specifically on Extra Credit's "Evil Races are Bad Game Design".

Darkies in the melon patch may be a fake, but the rest of these weren't.

Blacks & Whites is almost certainly a racist left-leaning game, politically speaking.

yeah they didn't do their research on that one or life as a black man, thirty seconds on boardgamegeek made its goal clear
I don\'t want to play with you.

You remember the woman whose life was ruined because she called the police on a black guy who filmed her not having a leash on her dog in the park? Everyone seemed to assume that she was a right winger (giving rise to lots of jokes about right wing Karens) but I immediately called that she's a democrat voter. I could tell from the way she believed that the police would actually treat any black man badly (and her choice of words etc.).

That's quite some read, that article there:

"I must confess that I can hardly find any information at all. I spent weeks in the national archives and trawled through every private collection and public library in the country and couldn't find a scrap of info about the golden oldie.

I even Googled the name and everything.

Looks quite racist though, doesn't it?"

After visiting every private collection and public library in the entire country, possibly every single country in the whole wide world, the writer pulled out all the stops and *Googled the name* but it was all for naught. The horrors of the racialist crimes committed by the "Wa-hoo" board game gonna have to be left to your fevered imagination :/

Yeah, the article is poorly written and researched. The game seems relatively easy to find out about. It has a Wikipedia page and a seemingly active company promoting it.

Heh. I guess it was a bit cryptic. :D

"Racist" shit is often presented such that everyone assumes it always comes from the political Right. It's often lefties who tries to find racism everywhere. But sometimes, in both these games and in the news, it's kinda obvious that much of the racism comes from the Left, if people only took a couple of seconds to check what's actually going on.

Right, like how there is a city in my country where the news reports an increase in the hostility towards jews and how they are starting to move out from there. Doesn't say who are persecuting them, just lets you draw your own conclusions. And while it certainly have its fair amount of neonazis -its not really them, but another group of people who have ties to the left that the hostility originates from.
