But neither of those are in the preview. The 2100-era cultures are explicitly *not* a utopia, and the 1400s-era cultures aren't discussed at all. And, of course, there is no meteor killing only white people. There was a meteor that had disastrous and strange effects across the world, but the only thing specified about Europe is that they didn't invade and conquer the Americas.
In the video I pointed out that to be fair, it doesn't say that explicitly, but that seems to be the implication.
You briefly mention that it isn't explicit earlier on, but your specific words from 22:02 to 22:57 are:
In terms of depth, they suck. Because the problem of propaganda as setting is that propaganda always has to be simplistic in ways way beyond anything else has to be simplistic. You don't have to be simplistic with myth. Myth can become very complex. You don't have to be simplistic with history. History is super complicated. But with... You can have lots of general trends with both of those but also lots of subtleties.
There's nothing subtle about "A meteor kills all the white people" or you know "black people and Jews are evil subhuman invaders" or something like that. Those are disgusting, hideous concepts... They have no attempt to provide any depth whatsoever.
This is bullshit comparison. In Myfarog, there's an explicit table showing how Darklings and Weaklings are lesser than Native Thuleans. But in the preview of Coyote & Crow, nothing is said about white people whatsoever except that they don't invade and conquer the Americas.
It seems to me you're trying really hard to be offended here.
If the game 7th Sea suggested that by Native Americans never existing that would somehow have made the world a better, fairer and more just/advanced place, you'd be absolutely right.
But I'm pretty sure that's not what happened there, and therefore the game is not a parallel to coyote & crow.
Again, not something said. And even though it *isn't* said, are you actually arguing that
for Native Americans that their world was better because of white people arriving? Of all the places in the world, the Native Americans really haven't fared well under contact.
It's certainly possible for Afro-futurism or this Native-American futurism to portray white people as evil, but it's not necessary - and there's nothing in the C&C preview that says this. I haven't read Swordsfall's Tikor, but, for example, I don't think Stan Lee's Wakanda is racist against white people. It's not a historical projection - it's a fantastic invention like most things in superhero comics.
