Kinda confused here:  Why is the game in poor taste?

It's an American civil war game that is called "War of rights" which I assume is taken as the Devs basically saying that the civilwar was about state rights which is considered a dog whistle

At first, I thought the same - but it turns out the developers are Danish, and they are probably interpreting it as literally about rights (like at the most reductive level) and not layered in contemporary political bullshit.  Otherwise, I don't see how Danish devs would have a dog in that sort of fight.

Now that I think about, I've noticed a lot of Danes having a very peculiar interest in American federalism....and they were all book readers, too.   :ohhh  And if you google "Denmark loves Harry Potter" you get shit like "Denmark loves Harry Potter" everywhere.

Slavery
[close]

This game looks to be as much about slavery as every WW2 game is about collecting jews on cattle cars.  Looks like a typical army fps game to me.  The American Civil War has a lot of interesting battles - I think it's a good idea for a game.

So you think the American Civil War was 'interesting'

The only thing "interesting" about the American Civil War is that it proves that white cishet men will go as far as to stage an entire war just to prop up the white supremacist system instead of actually ending capitalism and colonialism.

North and South is a pretty fun NES game. Can be surprisingly complex for a strategy game on 8-bit in multiplayer.

There's a "remake" on Steam/Switch that replaces the side scrolling with FPS stuff but I've never played it or anything: https://store.steampowered.com/app/963220/The_Bluecoats_North__South/

Sid Meier's Gettysburg! was really fun, even over dial-up, although looking back the ease at which you could win the entire game by winning the first scenario with the Confederates is pretty sus and makes me uneasy about the rest of Sid Meier's work. Civilization V: Brave New World had a Civil War scenario too unfortunately. :-\

This on Steam seems a lot like Sid Meier's game and some of the reviews suggest as much, I appear to own it (and Enhanced Steam plugin says it's been priced as low as $1.49 which indicates it's probably been in a bundle or fifty) but I'd certainly never install it or anything and disavow it being in my library: https://store.steampowered.com/app/306660/Ultimate_General_Gettysburg/

On Twitter she can go real menhera about that same topic on both her official and her alt account, even implying that some of her gachikoi actually have a chance with her. And she goes out of her way to remember all her donators' names and past SC comments so she can give it all a real personal touch.

Their entire issue seems to be that GG is a white studio using tribes and face paint in their game, as if non-white people has an exclusive use of tribes and face paint historically and contextually. There are people in that thread saying European people used face paint as well, but that point seems to be conveniently ignored. Also, Aloy being a white woman is a problem now after spending the past 5 years praising her character and her female representation in gaming.

It is never enough for those people. They can always find something "problematic" they can whine about, even after bending over backwards to please them. The studio being filled with white people seems to supersede everything else for them.

It's almost like ERA have a problem with a certain group people in general that shares a certain skin color. How do you generally refer to people like that, I wonder  :thinking  I'm sure it's a word starting with the letter "r"

I mean, does anyone think they'd be happy if they replaced Aloy with a black woman? Can you imagine the amount of shit this white studio would get if they did that? The amount of "Majority white studio GG uses cultural appropriation to profit off black people" articles would be never ending. Also throw in a few "GG studio is racist/alt-right chuds" for good measure. People like Messo would be eating good off the outrage feast something like that would create.

I assume that Messo didn't even play the first game because the cast was already diverse as fuck. That's after all why you then get people bitching about Aloy being a "white savior". There's no winning

I played the first one recently and also low-key wondered about this. I remember Hellblade getting a little (a lot?) of flak for using Dreadlocks on Senua, however, afaik, that was approriate as celtic warriors apparently had that kind of hair. Zero Dawn at times looked like a "best of: symbols and styles of human cultures" and got maybe around it with a lot of handwaving from a lore perspective, but that doesn't mean that the developers and writers necessarily get a free pass.. I'd be really interested to hear where the inspirations came from and what process was behind many of the depictions in game.

Devs now have to release a thesis paper along with their game to justify every little choice such as hairstyles. You got lucky there once, Hellblade, but we'll get you next time.

I cannot offer a personal perspective on the permissibility on this aesthetic as my heritage is not the subject of its inspiration. But I think there's a conversation to be had more broadly about the concept of the game itself.

Horizon: Zero Dawn is a world where all human life and all of human culture was eradicated. None of the peoples we know today remain in any form. Life was fully rebooted and restarted in a post-racial fully mixed civilization where culture began anew. This world concept means re-envisioning what human society and human culture would look like from the ground up.

So you have three ways to do this, in my mind.
1) Try to envision a human culture that is completely and totally divorced from any real or dramatized depiction of any present or historical peoples, which may not be possible. Even the most accomplished creatives to ever live would probably be unable to produce an entire image of humanity which takes no inspiration at all from our own. For what it's worth I do think there is an attempt to do this in Zero Dawn to some extent.

2) Stick to the cultures of the main creatives where designers and artists rely only on their own backgrounds for inspiration. The challenge here is that even if the artists and designers at Guerilla were admirably diverse (we can imagine the best case scenario here, however unlikely), there is inevitably a culture or heritage that is not represented by a member of that team. This means that the world of Horizon would be envisioned without any hallmarks or iconography from these excluded groups. If the entirety of Horizon's cultural motifs were a combination of Scandinavian and Mexican (for example), there is a political implication here about the supremacy of those motifs. In a world where humanity began anew and had to reinvent their culture from the ground up, if they only produced culture that was distinctly referential to singular groups it would raise questions in any players about why the post-racial apocalyptic future is still so uniquely cultural. Instead of reading that all of human culture was rebooted, it would read that specific human culture took over. You might think of this as the Attack on Titan problem, where the world is depicted as a melting pot of every background as people shelter together in great cities that just so happen to have no black people in them whatsoever. This, of course, sucks.

3) Draw from as many cultural inspirations as possible to leverage the imagery of a world born anew. I think this is what they are probably going for. If tasked with depicting humans producing a new culture all their own, there is probably an internal intent not to prioritize certain cultures over others. There is probably the intent to even the playing field and show the motifs and imagery of many different cultures interplay with each other in a way that feels detached but still somewhat representational. By the nature of Horizon's worldbuilding, this means representing cultural imagery and iconography divorced from its actual meaning. I think you can see how they tried to straddle this line in the original game with characters like Vanasha, who plainly pulls inspiration from SWANA and Islamic traditions of headcoverings. But you also have Samina on the Horizon team in the backstory, depicting an actual Muslim woman working in advanced scientific fields. I do not believe these characters were explicitly created to balance each other, but I do think they indicate that the culture we have now as humans is meant to appear as natural and innate in the heart of human creation now as it would be in the far flung rebooted future.


All of these philosophies have challenges and problems. When creating a world like this you should exercise great care and responsibility in how you envision it and I think however you envision it you will alienate someone. This isn't to say "someone is always mad about something!" - but rather to underline what may just be an issue with how the world of Horizon is imagined in the first place.

I don't know what is the right way to incorporate cultures into a world meant to exist in a way completely detached from culture as we know it. But it strikes me as something that should be handled by a multicultural team with as much precaution and sensitivity as possible. Maybe the concept is always going to be flawed and we just need to contend with those flaws. Maybe there is a happier medium that a more diverse team would be able to produce.

As for the face paint acknowledged by the reviewer the OP, I would be interested to see the cosmetic in question because no matter what the intent is here seeing white faced Aloy in explicitly African-styled tribal makeup would be a significant and disrespectful misfire. These cultures may not exist in Horizon but they definitely exist for us.

Thing with Messo is that he's gone into overdrive trying to prove his male feminist "cred" after getting arranged married. I don't know if that's guilt because his parents got that woman to marry him(doubt arranged marriage is looked on kindly by feminists and lefties crowds he hangs out with), or if his wife is the influence. Whatever the case is, something flipped in Messo's life that drives him to portray himself as some great "ally" online. People like that so often have shit in their close that they are trying to deflect.

Yes lol. Even without explicit references, it's like they just grabbed from whatever motifs they thought looked cool. Maybe there's a reason in this sequel that informs how the cultures evolved down this route, but the first game gives me no confidence in that.

A world set over a thousand years after an apocalyptic disaster where humans were essentially wiped out until a re-emergence centuries later and civilizational rebuilding that has gone on for some 6 centuries since would necessarily look exactly like the emergent cultures grabbed whatever mofits they thought looked cool from the destroyed cultures of the past.

Quote
"As a woman with African roots, it was also startling to see Zulu face paint in the game being treated as a cosmetic, something you can get at a settlement for shards, as if it were fun Halloween makeup - completely removed from its cultural significance"

That's... kind of the point isn't it? The cultural roots were wiped out on a widespread scale and culture has had to redevelop from the tatter shreds that could be found among the artifacts of the world. You have an entire population of humans that have no link to history beyond these artifacts and so appropriate bits and pieces creating the amalgam you see on the screen. How would this woman (with African roots) propose they present the face paint within it's contemporary cultural context?

It's so frustrating reading this garbage.

Oh right, she's the "Sifu is colonialism" lady.

I think you'd have a hard time proving that any of the face paint in either Horizon game is specifically inspired by Zulu markings past or present without finding an e-mail from the art department saying "Hey grabbed this from googling 'Zulu face paint' put this in". In a vacuum, it's indistinguishable from thousands of other cultural face markings over the millennia, and I would challenge this woman to point out the specific painting she's calling out and to tell us all what it signified within it's cultural context.

What makes Zulu face painting so obviously part of the Zulu culture is how the Zulu peoples use it within the context of their overall culture... white clay streaks in geometric patterns on a face does note a Zulu face painting make.

Her Twitter handle is pretty appropriative for an english speaking woman of African descent.

The show was good. Mary brought it like I knew she would.

...WHY do y'all continue to give a shit about Republicans and why are y'all posting Charlie Kirk tweets?

Why aren't they all upset anyway that known women abuser Dr. Dre was headlining the show? Almost like they can be really selective with their outrage

Their entire issue seems to be that GG is a white studio using tribes and face paint in their game, as if non-white people has an exclusive use of tribes and face paint historically and contextually. There are people in that thread saying European people used face paint as well, but that point seems to be conveniently ignored. Also, Aloy being a white woman is a problem now after spending the past 5 years praising her character and her female representation in gaming.

It is never enough for those people. They can always find something "problematic" they can whine about, even after bending over backwards to please them. The studio being filled with white people seems to supersede everything else for them.

It's almost like ERA have a problem with a certain group people in general that shares a certain skin color. How do you generally refer to people like that, I wonder  :thinking  I'm sure it's a word starting with the letter "r"
This is the entire point. To construct something is to open it up to criticism, therefore you can never be for something (except ending capitalism and colonialism) you can only be against it.

Writing only what you know: doesn't have enough skin color or sexual preference diversity.
Writing in an inclusive manner: cultural appropriation, some things belong to certain groups of people and it's not FOR YOU.
Writing with strict quotas: doesn't make up for past and present discrimination.
Not writing at all: only can be done because of your privilege, some people don't have the ability to not write, use yours to uplift them.

An endlessly cynical process in which everything is flawed and an existential problem of the now and life is purely despair about how it fails to meet impossible standards.

Then you wonder why you're depressed and have anxiety about everything. (Hint: the fundamentals of capitalism obviously, certainly nothing you do.)

Totally not unhinged :trumps

Read her twitter biography. While she understands cultural appropriation more than anyone else on Earth, alive or dead, I am positive she has no concept of conflict of interest.

I remember seeing a lot of Trumpers deeply disappointed and angry after he dropped that anti-Trump cypher in 2017. So many of them just assumed every white rapper would be Kid Rock.
I'm surprised ZeoVagina still supports homophobic Eminem :pika

That's not how it works because the perks stack up like multipliers.

A morbidly obese black non-binary trans wins over a trans.
Min and maxing the right stats is the key.
