SORRY FOR THE LENGTH BUT I CANT EXPLAIN THIS ANY OTHER WAY
Im saying Shadow Warrior is not racist BUT Rougey is being one by being offended by its stereotypes... It
IS stereotypical but why be offended by that...
Here is my reasoning.
You can ONLY be offendd by Shadow Warrior if your a racist or if your a confused antiracist. How so?
Well ive been thinking really hard about this the whole day and maybe its bullshit but ill type it anyway. So hear me out.
FIRST. WHAT IS A RACIST?
A guy who HATES in this case all japanese people (for some reason). thats the definition ok.
Then
If this guy then plays SW and sees the sterriotypes he will say: OMG these japanese... they talk funny they all look alike and so on. He says that these are BAD things when compared to nonjapanese.
Then the antiracist will come and say:
YES thats bad but not all japanese are like that...These are steriotypes okay. He says: THERE ARE NO DIFFERENCES BETWEN US.
Thats the argument.
BUT! the rascit is saying these things are bad because he
ALREADY hates the japanese(for some reason)... Therefore he finds these REAL diferences are BAD things.
But talking funny and looking alike are not really bad or good thinsg... Theyr just things.
I mean come on asian people really DO look alike... I was watching a movie recently and i had kindof a hard time following whos who you know... I mean.... Does this make me a racist???
But it doenst. ONLY if you ALREADY hate the Japanese you will say that this isa bad thing.
So the antiracist should not be offended by stereotypes
AT ALL. He should say yeah they look alike... So??!?!
So bottom line: if you DONT hate the japanese and you play SW and you ALSO think they talk funny and all look alike then you are NOT a racist... You can even DISLIKE some of the things they do but you can only be trully OFFENDED and constantly talk about it if you really hate them for some OTHER reason...

Now THe qustion is why would someone hate
ALL the japanese ? WHAT IS THE REASON?
Well i dont think this is posible. I mean if some japanese guy steped on my foot or something i would hate
HIM but not the rest of them... I mean how can i when i dont even know them. They are somewhere in Japan.
So whats the reason?!@
The reason is
NATIONALISAM.... Because a nationalist is a guy who is really REALLY into his nation which is like ALL the people of his nation.
So.... if he is capable to
LOVE ALL the people in his nation then its also posible for such a guy to
HATE ALL the people of some other nation... for example Japan.
Goddam i think i am a fucking genius!
So now for him it really is posible to hate ALL the Japanese...
So these racists are actually not racists they are just nationalists... Or in fact all nationalists are racists. They just HAVE to be beacuse if your a nationalist then kinda automaticaly you have to be a racist too... Like a national racist.
Ill have to think soem more about that... But i think this is essentialy corect.
So when Rougey sais that Shadow Warrior is offensive because not ALL Japanese are like that then automaticaly when someone comes a long who
IS like that it tuns out that you AGREE with the racist that being like that is a BAD thing...
So you shouldnt be pointing out steriotypes AT ALL to him becasue thats not why he hates the japanese. He hates them becasue they belong to another NATION so automaticaly all these stereotypes will be bad FOR HIM only.
And yuo should talk about nationalism to him instead. but thats a whole other thing...
I hope that made sense.

NOW
In light of all this im gonna have to ask you a question now Rougey... Do you think that asian people all look alike when compared to eurpeans for example?
And that most talk funny
And if someone showed it in a game this would be bad why???
AN HONEST QUESTION
