Controversial Andromeda Developer

Black people are being murdered by cops every other week, if you don't see how this marketing scheme offends the relatives and loved ones of the deceased then God help you.

My thoughts exactly.

I see no issue with it to begin with, just the double standards of the company.

._.

But maybe that's because I actually have a brain and realize that dislike of other cultures, peoples and etc isn't ever going to go away like those liberal SJW morons who cry in their safe spaces about how they are oppressed.

You though...Your alright, you get a cookie.

I don't see no "X Lives Matter" trademark or copyright.

Meaning people are free to use that slogan however they wish.

Plus, in case you haven't noticed, it's a fictional universe that's drawing parallels with contemporary societal issues which is a way of allowing people to look at these issues from a different viewpoint.

Yeah, no it doesn't.

First off, the first part of my post was sarcasm and pointing out the fallacy of his own statement (directly messaging/referencing something he is against in a complaint is always contradictory) 

Second, and more importantly, taking what people say on Twitter seriously is a problem, because most of what I see on twitter is basically shit posting and armchair intellectual analysis. I'm guilty of it too, don't get me wrong, ive done both in the past when i'm not talking to friends or just promoting something, but the ultimate point is I don't take twitter feeds seriously for any form of discourse. Sadly a lot of people do, and that tends to give us a weird sort of bubble where everything is taken as gospel.

So yes, it is a twitter thing to me, and quite silly because again, him saying that in a public space will get his teeth knocked in. I can't take him seriously there.

As to encouraging violence against a racial group, that's not what is really going on here. What is going on is what I said a few posts ago, he's a bit off on his own prejudices because ultimately, we all make judgements based on race and ethnicity that are not racist, but stereotyped. Heir is a victim of it just like we all are. Encouraging violence would be out in the streets actually killing all white people.

It's as the song goes, Everyone is a little bit racist:



The people who are racist don't talk about that, they act, and that encourages violence historically because others follow by example. 

ETA: I apologize if I seem a bit punchy in my reply here. I am a bit high strung at the moment and I don't want to come off as a jerk in any form, so sorry if I was a bit rough-sounding in my text, man.

It is Black Lives Matter not Black Lives Only Matter. It is like going to the doctor and then telling him to treat your leg because yes you should keep every other part of your body healthy but at this moment your leg is the one with the problem. 

Fiction should absolutely contain parallels to the real world. Literally having "Augs Lives Matter" signs is just not good allegory, it's so tacky and on-the-nose. Regardless of anyone's feelings on BLM it shouldn't be difficult to understand how some might consider this lazy opportunism to be insensitive.

"Augs Lives Matter" just seems like a cheap way to get a few extra headlines for an upcoming game. It's using real tragedies as a marketing scheme and they absolutely shouldn't be doing it but speaking more generally tit for tat racism is only going to make things worse.

I have no way to judge the context of those comments. Maybe it's just sarcasm. Doesn't change a thing though: if the same comments were made towards black people he would not away with them without a shitstorm. I do not like double standards.

Edit:
This is also a prime example for Twitter being a suboptimal platform for discussing complex topics. I read the stuff about Deus Ex: Mankind Divided and I have no idea how I would answer, were I inclined to, because I don't understand why *exactly* he gets so upset. It it's just about appropriating a common meme, then he doesn't have a point. There seems to be more to it, however.

Edit2:
I appreciate that we can discuss topics like this without being banned here. Nonetheless, I would prefer it that wouldn't become a trend. I'd rather talk about the games.

Yup... lol

How twitter are even letting him get away with posting such comments is inexcusable
