But he's pre-judging a game because of its art style. It's a really stupid comment.

Cup-Head is reliving the "good old days" of the animation. The art style is aiming to make people feel and think about those old cartoons. Those old cartoons were full of racism. If you are using a style to make people think about to an era, people shouldn't complain when they do just that.

Note I don't care about this game on way or another. I am just point this out.

people playing dumb on Twitter typically is. Tweets shouldn't be looked at as current events, lolololol. Twitter users get treated like Fox News anchors.

There were racist cartoons =/= they were full of racist cartoons

Unless theres racism characitures in this game, its a dumb point to do.

This reminds me of old racism stuff....idk what to do

Um....use your mind and stop thinking about it since this game doesnt have it?

Well, it's more accurate to say they had more instances of racism. The cartoons weren't based around racism (and the ones that were were obvious).

It's true that many 1930s and pre-1930s cartoons were racist, but calling Cuphead racist just because it shares the artstyle of those cartoons is incredibly stupid.

Which cartoons, specifically? I don't doubt for a second that there were plentiful instances of racism, but to say that you won't play Cuphead because you "can't get over" the fact that completely unrelated cartoons were racist is beyond asinine. I promise you, Cuphead was paying homage to the artstyle and craft of hand-drawing cartoons and not to blackface caricatures. The dude who made that comment is a total clown and honestly not even a slight tangent related to his viewpoint is worth defending.

Even so, most people alive today, especially the generation this game is marketed to, didn't grow up on those cartoons. To draw a parallel is kind of reaching in this case. It's about the art style, not the perceived racism of that time.

If you cannot separate those two, then the problem is you.

No the problem is when people who have no interest in the game still try to find connections and patterns to racism, because their framework doesn't allow them to do anything else.

It is not hard leap the make. The point of the game is to bring back* feelings of those old cartoons. For many shows racism were are part of those old cartoons.

okay buddy, you just made a huge leap of judgement here. Maybe you shouldn't generalize all cartoons from the 1930s and it won't make you feel so bad. its just an art style with nothing inherently racist about it.

The point of the original tweet is idiotic. Just because racism existed in 30s cartoons doesnt mean the art style is racist. If thats your logic, best never step foot inside an art museum or building created before the 19th century.

OK. I think this might be a genuine example of virtue-signaling. Yes, some of those classic cartoons had racist elements, but not all of them and the style isn't inherently racist. And the game devs went out of their way to not include some of the racist tropes present in them. There's nothing of value in this tweet other than to say "there was racism back then and I think that's bad."
