Well the guy I read it from is a black author for Vice News.

Who, in the same article, claims that Far Cry is a series that is based on heavy realism (wtf).

The complaint I saw wasn't that the game was racist and that you were killing black people.
It's that there were literally too many black people for what you'd expect to find in Montana and that Ubisoft went *too far* in the SJW direction.

Not enough minorities = racist
Too many minorities = racist


But if you put in exactly 12.3 percent (US percentage) of the bad guys as black they will say but in Montana it's only X percent that are black, so that's racist too.

Polygon's review docked it points because of it.

They said something to the effect of "this game could have made a powerful political statement about crazy conservatives, but backs off instead, and that's shameful"

But then people would have been upset that it targets X group in the US.

Realistically the game did some pretty impressive things with the commentary it did have I think.

Instead they made a powerful statement about the craziness of hardcore religious beliefs, and knocked it out of the park.

Yeah but they're not overtly conservative or racist

I don't know why a game refusing to proselytize a specific worldview can elicit such a response.

And that's fine because not all religious cults are. The People's Temple (one that all drank the kool-aid (actually flavorade) down in South America were communist/socialists. A large percentage were black.

Everything in the world doesn't have to be a statement about race. People need to stop trying to make it that way.

I appreciated the pointed jabs at certain current events but I never got the feeling that the game was written around a political concept and then changed ever.

Yeah that shit makes no sense. Granted, I didn't really keep up with pre release stuff for the game but people are knocking it for thr plot not going exactly the way they thought it would. Also, why knock off points for a story in an FPS?

I mean, none of the pre-release stuff really indicated that it was supposed to be some anti-alt-right SJW fest. It was just about a cult taking over a county and you fighting against them. People read way too deep into it.

I think the difference here is that in Far Cry 5 you can play as anyone and the enemies are all races and genders, but in RE5 you're a white guy killing almost exclusively black people.

Still a weird thing to notice (I guess I just don't see race in video games) but slightly more understandable imo.

That complaint was dumb too because the game was set in Africa. It would have been racist if the setting stayed the same, but the population was white washed.

On a similar note, apparently people made complaints that FC3 was set in South America and you were a white guy killing latin americans.
