Glad this was cleared up and just a case of a phonetically similar word being misconstrued.Problematic that some are still trying to see nefarious intent where there is none.Also problematic (but predictable) that some posters who I've never seen in threads dealing with racism/bigotry are in here with their gotchas and blanket statements trying to ignore the fact that this type of racism wouldn't be and isn't out of the ordinary. Ya'll ain't as sneaky as you think you are.
You're telling me they ain't found or identified him yet? The racists around him probably hiding his bitch ass somewhere.

QuoteMaybe he will ask for asylum at Lauren Boebert's bar?Either that or CO Springs. That place got the feeling of the biggest sundown town I've ever come across

Yep For every one dinger there are thousands of the real thing, and for all we know now this word can become code by some racists. It never ends lol.it’s good this was an easy mistaken case.
It’s time to let decision makers at publishers and developers know that we as game enthusiasts care about the people making games as much as we care about playing them.The petition: http://chng.it/hwyxm8fnRR

The Idea Of A New South Park Game Is Already ExhaustingBY JADE KINGPUBLISHED 5 HOURS AGOThe humour and style of South Park is boring and painfully outdated.South Park has always taken pride in punching down on people, a reputation that justifies much of its risque humour by saying that nobody is off limits. The left, right, centre, and every point on the political spectrum is ripe for parody. It doesn’t matter if you’re Black, white, Asian, gay, straight, cis, trangender, or anything else - they’ll make a joke out of you and claim that’s just what the show does. But that balanced approach doesn’t work if many of the groups you shit on don’t have the same rights as others. Once you cross that line, you’re feeding impressionable viewers the belief that hating on these people is okay.Recent seasons took aim at transgender athletes, seeing a classic wrestler suddenly deciding to identity as a woman to cheat the system. It’s a lazy take on a real world story where trans people are demonised simply for being who they are. Instead of using that subject and poking fun at the bigots making nonsensical arguments against this group, Trey Parker and Matt Stone went for the lowest common denominator, knowing their audience is happy to just nod and smile at the suffering of others because it isn’t aimed at them. South Park was bold and brash 20 years ago, but now its take on constantly satirising the political climate and biggest stories of the moment simply doesn’t work. It sits alongside Family Guy as a show that’s completely behind the times.South Park: The Stick of Truth and Fractured But Whole, two RPGs published by Ubisoft, were rare exceptions to the rule. Well - almost. In the case of the former, Obsidian Entertainment was seemingly aware of the show’s reputation, choosing to focus some of the game’s biggest moments on classic episodes and references within a playful fantasy setting instead of poking fun at minority groups for the sake of edginess. It’s a great game, and also a funny one - largely because the studio behind it was talented enough to recognise its strengths and weaknesses. Fractured But Whole saw a change in developer, and thus its reception wasn’t nearly as positive. The character creator claimed to make the game more difficult the darker your skin tone became, a commentary on racial prejudice that has become all too real in the years since its launch.People don’t talk about that game much anymore, which is likely due to its horrendously long development cycle and the fact it didn’t have Obsidian’s RPG mastery to guide it.In its purest form, South Park is forgettable. A show built around poking fun at the modern world and political issues is always doomed to become irrelevant, or age terribly as the world moves on and becomes a more progressive place. You could call me overly woke or sensitive, but if a series can’t be funny without poking fun at other people, especially minorities, then you have to step back and consider whether or not it should exist in the first place. I’m not sure it should, and the confirmation of several more seasons, films, and a new game from Trey Parker and Matt Stone has me rolling my eyes in exhaustion. South Park isn’t going anywhere, and it’s unclear if this new game will follow the RPG mould that allowed it to shine throughout the previous generation.We simply know it will be a “3D video game set within the world of South Park,” a description that is giving me awful flashbacks to Chef’s Luv Shack on the original PlayStation, or the Nintendo 64 tie-in that was little more than a mediocre first-person shooter themed around evil chickens and snowballs. These games were bad, and unless South Park decides to once again adopt the RPG framework and work around its few strong qualities, I honestly can’t see this new adventure being much better. A property like this requires a guiding hand to ensure it doesn’t fall victim to its worst vices, and with South Park still willing to engage in transphobia and tired racial stereotypes in the modern era, I’m not confident that guiding hand will be there. Just let someone make another Rick and Morty game instead, our own Stacey Henley would have a ball with it.Jade King (348 Articles Published)Jade King is one of the Features Editors for TheGamer.

You would think people would be relieved that the guy wasn't saying racist shit...But apparently some people were hoping he was racist? I'm confused, do some of you just get off to this?
im getting fucking DOGPILED on Twitter right now for posting that dudes video that shows dinger in the audience, and the guy clearly trying to get his attention. People heard what they heard...and apparently im a white supermacists... im even catching strays.I have become "they"

Your post doesn't help either..Signed.
i'm not giving the benefit of the doubt, personallythe timing (how the batter just misses) and the inflection, how loud it's being projected, i think this was intentional. I don't hear an enunciated Ding in the yell. There are some other people who do call out Dinger, and it sounds as you'd expect.it's also not 100% clear that the person in the video waving a different direction is even the voice we hear. and even if it is, it's possible he was using the mascot's alliteration as a cover (and it's working to a point)also there was clearly a reaction from the crowd, you hear a chorus of shock/dismay after he yells it the first time.either way this mascot's name needs to be changed as it's rife for this kind of abuse
Why would you shout out the mascot instantly after a missing pitch? Not asking to prove that he actually said the n-word, but rather, wondering why would you pay first row seats and be distracted by other things not related to the gameplay so easily
On to the next mystery: why is a grown man trying this hard to get the attention of a mascot?
This is what I don't like, the certainty that this wasn't abuse. I will remain skeptical because there's good reason to.
QuoteThe people still clinging to the idea he was shouting the n-word should be ashamed of themselves.No way. He doesn't get the benefit of the doubt here. It's pretty damn clear what he said.

Now do the percentage of people who play games. I'd imagine it's somewhere around the same.
To break it down, the Parade article proposes to feature 25 free online games that women play, with testimony by female players, game developers, etc. ...The games listed in the article aren't at fault, nor are the people who do play and enjoy those games. There is a distinct tendency to shame women and girls not only for the act of playing games, but also for enjoying things that are perceived as "for women," which just creates a negative feedback loop. The enjoyment derived from the games in the article cannot be invalidated. What is troubling about the article is the way it plays into damaging, misogynistic stereotypes about "what women want" and fails to recognize the scope and breadth of female gamers and their interests. Women play games like Stardew Valley and Sayonara Wild Hearts, but they also play games like Fornite and Warframe (both of which are free to start playing). The real list of games women enjoy goes on and on, unchecked by preconceived, antiquated designations about things women "should" enjoy.

That the women failed to do it properly?spoiler (click to show/hide)https://twitter.com/StrayLilCat/status/1295773281199575047https://twitter.com/pancakepow/status/1295786094391304197[close]
