Wonder if the game will touch on the people who were in the Americas before the Clovis cultures ("Native Americans") arrived? Bet they will shamefully erase that bit of history.

I doubt it. You don't have to go that far back though. They were relentlessly fighting each other well into the 1800s. Raiding and stealing each other's women was a favorite tactic. Human sacrifice was practiced in some areas such as in Central America and the Mississippi region. But I doubt they will talk about any of this.

It's weird, I have actually read some history books where many of these things were brought up, but the only time the author made clear moral judgements about the historical people involved, was when they were white.

It's the age old idea of buying an indulgence to wash one's 'sins' away.

Thanks for making it a little easier to understand there. Still bums the shit out of me. I mean the whole premise of this is that, as i see it, evil white people made the world bad and if only they weren't around all these other people would have created heaven on earth. Kinda  like that bullshit in 'black panther' about how if it weren't for white men oppressing them africans would be colonizing alpha centauri or something by now.

Anyway, as bad as this game sounds at least it's got to be better than (ugh) Rahowa.

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.

And we're absolutely sure this isn't a "broken clock is right twice a day" thing? We're absolutely sure that there isn't a single kernel of truth to anything they say?

Because it would mean that the hobby has a problem with Race-grifting con-artists.

The hobby, and increasingly more areas of entertainment have had this problem of race-grifting or race-baiting for a few years now as its come into vogue. Unfortunately it also isnt a new trick either.

Around the start of the current wave of this cult of stupid there was at least one board game called "Darkies in the Mellon Patch" over on BGG that was supposed to be an old racist board game that had been rediscovered. Truth was it was all a fabrication to sucker people out of their money. Im not sure they even produced an actual product aside from some screeners to lure the gullible.

Some of those were obviously designed by black people; they look exactly like the sort of blaxploitation stuff from the 70s. The other ones are basically just a product of their time I doubt anyone blinked an eye at their existence. Not even the people depicted in the games. In fact, surely not them because they literally didn't give a fuck. Anyone remember Blacula? That thing made a ton of money and I remember seeing it years after it came out as a kid and thought it was funny. Now, I should be insanely offended or something.

People need to get the fuck over about past stuff and focus on the future.
It takes considerable knowledge just to realize the extent of your own ignorance.

50 years from now all of our games and literature will be condemned for using horribly racist terms like "African American". People seem unable to comprehend that what constitutes "offensive" language is entirely arbitrary, and intentionally inconstant.
Old School? Back in my day we just called it "School."

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