Comment on Tomb Raider 1-3 Remastered has a warning about racial and ethnic stereotypes
CasualPenguin@reddthat.com 9 months agoDo you see any merit to the pushback against such media?
You sound like you favor rationalism, and I agree with dismissing people who are crazy, but setting crazy people aside, do you see potential harm in reinforcing racial and ethnic stereotypes?

Stereotypes exist for a reason. They aren’t made up, non-existent characteristics. 90% of people that are getting offended by such things are not even part of the group that’s being stereotyped. It’s usually white liberals that are “offended” by any of this. Are they beneficial? probably not, but they sure are not nearly as harmful as people like you make them out to be. As a straight white man, I’m vilified by the mob regardless of my positions on anything, and that in itself is a stereotype. So I don’t put any stock into hypocritical perceived slights against humanity.

Got it, so you have a major victim complex and don’t really have a rational argument for the rest. Thank you for at least being clear

Thank you for proving my point.

You rationalized deserving vilification, and whinged about what a victim you are. You can’t think this conversation is in your favor.
