I think it's just silly that everyone is a mix of something, I don't really care if they are white, black or yellow or whatnot, but to me it feels implausible and contrived that there is not even a couple of people that have the same background. To me it appears that they just wanted to cherry pick as many combinations as possible, to make it look fancy.


Thats what they do, its never genuine. Its the world biggest ego trip ever weaponized by Marxists retards, who in turn are being led by dumb globalist who look at saudi arabia with envy of their tyranny.

Sorry for the political rant.

The left will go es far as they can. But the funny thing is that the only capable people on this earth to sustain and build up a culture that supports and develops sciences are europeans (here include jews) and east asians, due to their cognitive capabilities and moral values.
But in Battletech there are also white people and blondes, like Lori Kalmar. So perhaps this is only in the Periphery. Perhaps the Innerspehre had a moment of insight and has thrown all this people out. We should then rename Aleksandr Sergeyevich Kerensky to Alex Sarg Keren.

Nope. Those are all the main characters.



This also got liked by HBS and Mike McCain (one of the design leads). They are pushing their leftist agenda real hard and they know it.

At least you won't mind when the characters kick the bucket. :D Not to mention no qualms over seizing this on the high seas, yaaar.

Yes, and they're all from the Periphery region of the BattleTech universe.....
I thought he meant peripheral (non-main; supporting) characters. I don't know shit about Battletech lore.

That said, why should there not be any white people in the "Periphery region"? Please don't say "because racism and stuff in Battletech". :lol:

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA OMG


Not a single fucking white person. This is like the wet dream of a "progressive" leftist. Mitch Gitelman was a huge Hillary fan, so I am not surpised.

Another studio putting their fucking retarded and regressive agenda into their game, although I have never seen anything this extreme. I regret backing this shit. Welcome to my boycott list.
We should fucking email/tweet this to Donald Trump, so he and his chief strategist could make Battletech great again.
On a more seriuos note, this likely was my last KS. I have litteraly had enough...

Well, the game takes place in a region of the Periphery HBS invented. Here's their concept art of a Davion guy from the setting's core area:

Including the "Ancestry" is a laughably hamfisted move. I guess just having racially ambiguous portraits associated with names that indicate "diverse" ancestry would be too subtle for the SJW crowd. Not to mention that by 3025, claiming to be of Egyptian/Portuguese ancestry would probably make as much sense as telling someone you are Prussian/Carthaginian today.

That said, I don't understand the hissy fit. How is complaining about a lack of white faces in the game any different than a dark skinned person getting all melodramatic about not being represented in games?

It's funny to me that the developers are pandering to ideologues in such a way that should be insulting to their intelligence. But I can't bring myself to be offended.

I knew some of you tards wouldn't like it but get back to me when you can explain why the whining here is any different than "we need more diversity so I can see people like me in games" crap. Be as melodramatic as possible please. :bounce:

Beating up on strawmen is for retards who can't address what was actually said. I didn't say complaining about SJWs is always wrong or just as bad as being an SJW. I said crying over the color of characters in games is the same as crying over the color of characters in games.

IMO it's basically a matter of reacting with the proper tone, Excidium II.

You can go "lol, silly liberal pop culture fetishes again", or you can go "WHERE MY WHITE PEOPLE AT!!!". You didn't react that way either, so why defend it?

You're a cuck trying to fit in because you're mindlessly white knighting for the behavior of others. If you actually thought I am wrong you would have spit out something other than memes and join date quoting by now.

What behavior of others? I was the first to post ITT.

You are wrong and don't belong on this forum with your anti-white agenda.

What I criticized is complaining about the lack of people of x color in a game. Had nothing to do with your posts, which really didn't say anything.

I notice you still haven't gotten around to posting any disagreement to what was actually said, as I predicted.
