  • I guess it could be construed as racist when it’s literally “master/slave”. But I have never seen it as a normalization of slavery because there usually is no value attached to the terms, it’s just describing the relation between them. And I don’t think acknowledging that a slave generally doesn’t have much say in doing what their master tells them is racist in itself or endorsing/normalizing slavery.

    But also, I am white, and there are other terms we can use that can describe this kind of relation just fine, so, whatever. I just get mildly annoyed when some stuff that was working perfectly fine gets deprecated just to change these terms and I have to adapt to it.






  • I have never seen it framed as “it is an absolute disgrace that this game does not have a hard mode, and if you think otherwise you are an idiot and/or ableist (or whatever the opposite would be)” tbh. Which is pretty much what the easy mode advocates were saying about Sekiro the last time I followed that debate










  • 8th letter of the alphabet (H), twice => short for “Heil Hitler”. Very common way for nazis to recognize each other

    What are they gonna do next, ban the symbol from history books or popular games like Wolfenstein?

    History is history, so I don’t think it’s banned from history books as long as it doesn’t glorify nazi Germany or engages in revisionism. About videogames though… Until 2018, yes.

    Feel free to correct me if I’m wrong. I only remember this stuff from my German class and my mom who lived in Germany for a few years in the 70s. Also, read the article. This isn’t a legal thing, this is simply a brand trying to avoid getting associated with nazis
