    I took your advice, and it’s almost impossible to actually find anything on using those terms. There’s one article on Yahoo out of all of the links that corroborates the claim, there’s some links to threads which are praising the diversity, but I’m not seeing the same thing you are.

    So yeah, I find it hard to believe this is a true thing, when even searching Google doesn’t bring up much about it.

    I am starting to think the people saying this is a thing, are in some sort of rage-bait algorithm because the companies have found it drives engagement with them.

    Or I’m in the opposite bubble where they have found I don’t engage much with race-baiting.

    Legitimately, even searching for this brings up almost nothing for me.

    Goalposts haven’t moved. They’re still solidly at “prove this actually happened”. 4 twitter posts is not “The right wing was angry at black people being in the super bowl!”

    We gotta break … I dunno … 1% of people talking about the superbowl complaining about black people and/or DEI for this to be considered an event that happened for me.

    The bar is EXTRAORDINARILY low for this.

    This shit is so funny, because it’s the opposite. Hoards of loudmouthed perpetually online complaining about characters who were scanned in from actual actors being “unrealistic”. Sorry that not being overweight triggers you. Sorry about your racism and being triggered by “the whites”. Wouldn’t want to hurt your feelings, so we made all the characters uglier than you. HAHA. The problem solves itself, all of these instances the games TANKED. They made the games for you, and then YOU DIDN’T EVEN BUY THEM! HAHA

    That’s because Tv is now designed for outrage, and none of it is truthful. Didn’t your parents ever teach you to not believe everything told to you?

    The thing is - when shit like this is truthful, it starts to get talked about in larger and larger circles. If I haven’t heard about it, it’s likely because it’s some tiny community, and some news network is using it as rage-bait.

    You still haven’t convinced me that this is real. Oh noooo some twitter twat posted something racist.

    You can probably find anything you want from cherry picking twitter posts.

    I hang out in the real world, with real people, and not a one of them has ever said anything remotely of the sort; despite tons of them talking about the super bowl recently.

    You didn’t answer the question – how…many…people…actually complained? Like 10? On Twitter?

    Show me these tantrums about black people in the olympics and superbowl please. I’ll wait. Lemmy has turned into Left-Wing Truth Social at this point. I don’t know if it’s because people have lost their collective shit over the Trump election or what. About 6 months ago, people were a lot more reasonable…or I was talking to AI chatbots from Iran…which, might have actually been more reasonable and intelligent.

    This…isn’t a thing.

    Right wingers don’t throw tantrums over these things - specifically talking about olympics and superbowl here - especially today. So if somehow you’ve run across someone who is doing this, it really IS weird.

    Now when it comes to games and stuff - Games are meant to pander to the audience buying them, so it IS jarring when someone makes a game about 1185 feudal Japan, and there’s a 20% black population in the game somehow…or when you’re talking about a fighting game, but they refuse to make any of the women look fit, or people writing about FF7’s Cloud Strife being in a dress during one of the storylines and how he’s totally trans now, without understanding the context of the story and why he’s dressed that way.

    I’m not trying to convince anybody of anything except for to stop getting off topic. And to not call everyone Nazis just because they didn’t suck your dick, take the abuse, and ask for more after.

    I am not talking about actual Nazis. There are plenty of those fucks in the areas I live in already. I’m talking about this black and white thinking that if someone thinks …I dunno - something innocuous like “Spending 200k on an Anthony Fauci Museum probably isn’t warranted”; and you blast off and immediately start lobbing accusations that they’re secretly a Trump supporter.

    …how do you still not get it?

    Subject matter: PEOPLE – who are VOTERS – WHO aren’t STAUNCH Republicans already.

    HOW…HOW DO YOU ALL FAIL TO STAY ON THE SUBJECT?! How is it that you all keep making such bad faith arguments and adding context that isn’t there?! Why are you talking about morons and talk radio hosts, and politicians?!

    Holy…fucking…shit. It’s like you’re not even listening to what I’m saying - you’re just stuck on the same old bullshit, repeating the same old lines, you can’t even see someone giving it an honest chance to talk about things. It’s just hyperbole after hyperbole after hyperbole…

    Is it just impossible for you people to understand that there are people who exist somewhere in the middle? Do you REALLY, like ACTUALLY believe that if someone has a SLIGHTLY different opinion than you, that they can ONLY be considered the enemy?

    The party of people who constantly drones on about gender being a spectrum, cannot see that political beliefs are ALSO a spectrum, and refuse to see in anything OTHER than black and white?

    Ask Gamermanh that question, I was only using his logic.

    And you’re adding … what is this… your own strawman context so that your argument looks like it’s sane somehow?

    I’m literally saying “Stop calling people Nazi just because they voted for an R once” and you can’t even do that for as long as it takes to write a reply. I’m saying to treat normal people like normal people and have discussions like healthy, mature adults.

    But I guess that’s too much. The professional-victim approach has long sunk its teeth into you.

    Nobody said “For Trump”. Much like when Biden won, people weren’t really voting for Biden. They were voting against Trump.

    Fuck it, I give up. It’s clear you’re not attempting to understand, you’re just reading in order to reply. Good luck, you’ve driven the US into this spot.

    So you’re saying that most people who voted for people who have made it clear they want to take away people’s human rights, don’t want those human rights to be taken away?

    Okay, it’s clear logic isn’t your strong point…nevermind. No idea why I fucking try.

    News flash, you aren’t arguing with Rush Limbaugh on the internet.

    I’m not Rush Limbaugh, the next guy isn’t Rush Limbaugh…

    AGAIN - this is NOT for people who have already chosen a “side”. I am talking about people who regularly flip between dem and republican. If voting R once EVER is enough for them to be written off forever…then that’s a losing strategy. If that’s your outlook on things, and you continue - then just understand that you should also be okay with losing those people as voters and shifting this country ever more toward the right because you can’t be calm and composed.

    I mean, if they voted for republicans, they are villains in so far as one can be a villain.

    Sure, *you* didn’t in this particular scenario - but you got awfully close. That’s the point I’m making. The loud, extremist voices driving off otherwise reasonable people.

    I’m ON your side. But you’re not on mine. Look at the overwhelming response here with the immediately pegging me into a “both sides” fallacy and then everyone attempting to argue me down as if that was my argument in the first place.

    It’s straight up unreasonable - I’m one of the very few who will tolerate it to get my point across. Everyone else will leave much faster, and then just vote against you.
