If they were some black people in that era, it should be easy to name one. http://medievalpoc.tumblr.com/post/75252294049/hi-ive-been-looking-at-a-kickstarter-for-a This seems to be what started the entire thing. Someone gave a bunch of arguments why the dev was wrong, then people got super pissed at SJWs. I struggle to see how "you can't name a black person in 15th century Bohemia" implies "people of color in 15th century Bohemia were very very rare". Maybe my logic is weak. So first off a Tumblr called "MedievalPoC" is you source here? And what's wrong? They never give an example of black people in Bohemia, just that paintings depicting Africans were done. People were always interested in culture outside their own why do you think Aladdin "takes place" in China? And yes, the burden of proof is on the person claiming they were around in number. That's how it works.

If you don't believe me, read this 569 page book about it!!" Yeah. No thanks. You seem to be mixing up the arguments presented in the response. One argument was that poc (not just black people) were depicted in art. Another was that demographics that would have contained a lot of poc (Mongols, Turks, Greek, etc) lived there at the time. So two different pieces of evidence support the same conclusion. And finally - they actually provide sources and which pages to look at and you dismiss them because they're too long? Lmao Just because POC people were depicted in art does not automatically mean that those ethnicities comprised a large percentage of the population of the time, especially not in the area of the region where the game takes place. This proves the literal sense of "there were POC there", but it does nothing to actually illustrate just how much of the population were non-Slavs. There could have literally been five Black people in the area that happened to stand out and do some really amazing things and get painted, that doesn't mean that suddenly 15th century Bohemia looked like modern day London. From what I saw, the link in that person's post was just to a book in general, not to specific pages. I'm definitely not arguing that they're wrong that historically different ethnic groups live in that region in that time period.

EverDownward 02/18/18 3:08:59 PM #69:	I liked that in the same day Polygon released two articles for Kingdom Come. One was berating it, calling it immature and bad and whatnot. Three hours later, another article pops up saying "Okay, this isn't that bad, you just gotta get used to it." Granted, they were by different people.
