While Crystal Dynamics didn’t specify which content it’s referring to, it’s speculated that it could be the animalistic depiction of Pacific Island natives in Tomb Raider 3, who are implied to be cannibals.

What stereotypes were in the games?

There might be others, but The Dagger of Xian plotline in Tomb Raider II is a little “woo woo Chinese mysticism”. You plunge it into your heart and turn into a dragon.
I’m not offended by it but I’d imagine that’s not the kind of thing you’d write in a video game today.

Like the fictional Indiana Jones style villages? Or the real life North Sentinel Island Sentinelese? I’m scratching my head too…

The North Sentinel Island Sentinelese are not cannibals. They just want nothing to do with anyone not born on the island.
Which is a good policy to have, seeing as how the British genocided the rest of the Andaman Islands. They even landed on North Sentinel, kidnapped a few old people and children, and then sent the survivors back as plague bearers. (this was in 1880)

Yeah, it’s getting pretty hard to be an isolated community anywhere these days. Looks like these guys in the nicobar islands may be fucked.

In what world is that a question for a reasonable person?
A media company remade and re-released a piece of media and acknowledged that there may be problematic content, but that we should consider the time the media was made.
You don't need to know what the problematic content is, just accept their statement on it.

You seem like the kind of person who would become a moderator, start banning people and when they ask why they were banned you would block them after replying “lol get fucked”
In what way is acquiring more knowledge a bad thing? If I don’t recognize any possible problematic content, but other people say it’s there, why shouldn’t I be a Le to ask what’s problematic about it? Have I been going around being casually racist without knowing?
Like damn my dude you’re getting pissed at people for wanting to better themselves.

The stereotype that old British men are all butlers who get off on being locked in the freezer.
Regrettable_incident@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Indeed. Some of us prefer being locked in the pantry.

Something that is accurate and true is not a stereotype.
