You should take a hint and delete your entire posting history.

Man dat real harsh

 

[baturinsky]

Well, about "denying history"...

Tell me, why name of a certain race is forbidden to mention in USA (and in most of Pax Kwanzania)?

-(American calling) Is that true that, there is censorship in Soviet Union?

And Russia had Gulags, so of course they get mentioned. Nobody else had Gulags. Germany didn't have Gulags. The British didn't have Gulags. The Russians though? Gulags.

Ok, this can't be real. DU cannot be really so :patriot:

Soviet / Russian jokes are great. The problem is that half of them need to be explained.

"Is this the shop where I can't buy shoes?”
“No, here you can't buy bread. The shop where can't buy shoes is on the other side."

Or this one:

"Look at my new tie," says a New Russian to his colleague. "I bought it for 500 dollars in the store over there." — "You got yourself conned," says the other. "You could have paid twice as much just across the street!"

Yes, but it's "lynch", not "beat", and "negros", not "black people". You see, in Russia, "negro" is a perfectly politically correct word to refer a human of negroid race, "black" is a derogatory therm for Caucasians, and Caucasians are people from Caucasus, not a name of the race.

My question still stands, and it IS relevant to matter of discussion (about what is and what is not offensive in media).

Holy shit it's even more ridiculous than I expected. Fucking Anglos man.

Russian butthurt in this thread is unbelievable.

Russian butthurt in this thread is unbelievable.

Burning Bridges reminded me of the excellent Stirlitz jokes, though, so I give this thread 9/10 for that alone.

It is kinda justified. I mean come on, this shit is fucking hilariously revisionist. It wouldn't have been so bad if Relic's initial response to the criticism had been "It's a game, it's fiction, suck it slavscum". But instead they chose to defend it by claiming it was well researched and historically accurate.

Too bad this thread is besieged by the kind of people who would take offense.

Next step - banning Mass Effect 4 for gay propaganda

People look for historical accuracy in videogames?

 

[Corporate_Jew_Master]

The game prided itself on historical accuracy.

Seven pages of this? o_O

I watched the video by TheBadComedian, he makes some good points (but also some crap). The footage from the game speaks for itself.
He nailed it with "the plot campaign and video sequences show us that the war is not with the Reich - the war is with the Soviet Union".

 

[Sranchammer]

I like how Russians still use nigger to denote american blacks

His video is pretty shit, yes, but the idea to start this campaing is pure genius.

The political situation in Russia now is perfect for this, with Putin making a bet on conservative electorate - we just had to signal to 1C that we intend to make them the next Pussy Riot to be sacrificed in order to gain popular support for the government.
I am sure 1C wouldn't have given a single fuck even if 100 000 gamers signed a petition, but as soon as this story started gaining notion from political websites and movements, they immediately chickend out.

, so, there's some seriously ridiculous stuff in that game. It's not like they had to make that shit up to make Soviet Union look bad.

Maybe better not do it? One thing, mock that game and scare publisher about potential market losses, the other thing is welcoming government into regulation of game industry. Especially russian government. I am pretty sure, that results will be very idiotic and shameful. Also russian government not so long ago put 40m$ into film, that makes CoH2 very adequate and truthful representation of WW2, so I don't know, how would they explain difference between them.
