You do kill a woman in Hotline Miami. And lots of black mobsters as well (one of the special enemy types is a black guy, simply because of limited models I think, not actual racism). So it can't be double standards.
That is true, though it's only one and she's kinda unimportant.
And yeah, the models were p limited in that game, so I'm pretty sure racism wasn't one of the reasons.
Given my knowledge of both feminism (Anita Sarceesian Styled) and just flat out Hollywood Archtypes.
The fact that "it's only one" is actually worse. If women were dispersed as alternate/original models of the various enemy types it would be less of an issue. Yet because there is one female character it points attention to it. Given she was also likely attractive it means it was also sexually fueled violence perpetrated by a male character.
As for the fact that "Black man" is a specific enemy type... Come on... It was "Black Man" as an enemy type. I am pretty sure they were cashing in on racial stereotypes here. MIND you, I don't think many people care... but still.
Also PLEASE do not let this post derail this. I am just saying that it is easy to interpret the game as sexist and racist with just that.
I understand your point, even if I disagree there. But sorry, no. The "Black man" model simply was a heavier type of enemy, so while all other enemies were white bald mobsters in white and cyan suits, "heavy" enemies were black bald men in black and pink suits. And that's it. Aside from bosses, there's only two enemy types in the game(three with dogs), so model limitations were kind of an issue.
I get your point about the female and yes she was made to be attractive but at the same time absurd - seriously, it's a character with an eyepatch, a ergonomically useless fur jacket and a bra, who one hit kills you with a katana. It's...kind of a weird opponent to begin with.
That being said, I do understand what you said, but that's the weird thing; Hotline Miami wasn't accused of either. It went past their radar; yet now Hatred is getting a lot of flak. Possibly because of the graphics.
Though that trailer, though. It's like every bad moody teenager song made into dialogue.
Another thing I have learned is that children are introduced to occult concepts through this game. Now, I am not going to say that all Pokemon games are bad for everyone, or that all parents should ban their children from playing this game, but be aware that if you are not equipped to deal with this, like I believe that I am, it might be best to stay away.
There are a few things in this area to be aware of. First, is that the trainers bring in other creatures to fight for them. Some may view this as analogous to summoning in the occult realm. Another aspect is dualism, or the idea of light vs. dark, with neither being inherently better or worse than another. For example, there is a complex rock/paper/scissors system with eighteen different types of creatures and attacks, with different strengths and weaknesses of each. Certain types, like psychic, ghost, dark, and dragon, are not considered by nature any better or worse than fire, water, bug, normal, or the new fairy type. This is unfortunately an occult concept.
I don't think this site is getting made fun of just for having a conservative viewpoint. I think it's getting made fun of for having a conservative viewpoint from 1980.
I'm not saying I agree with their viewpoints. Calling homosexual relationships "alternative lifestyles", as a bisexual man myself, seems rather antiquated.
I'm just saying they do a fair system separating their conservative viewpoint from a gameplay standpoint in the final score, at least in most of the recent cases. Even if they have a rather odd and maybe at cases paranoid opinion about such things, I believe a site that at least tries to be rational with its beliefs deserves respect.
Saying this since I actually talked to their admin in an open talk she had recently and even as a progressive atheist I was treated very well, and could see their priorities were in the right place, at the very least.
