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 don’t need to know what the problematic content is
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.
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.

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)
I like to call them deadpan instead of sarcasm. Sarcasm has a tone to let others know that it isn’t serious, while deadpan relies fully on the content itself.
I had a lot more deadpan comments crash and burn on Reddit than here. And even in this case, someone just questioned the comment while it had overall positive reception. I think Lemmy generally gets deadpan.
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.
What stereotypes were in the games?

I’d still like to know… Might be a deal breaker

Shhhluuurrrrp

Then they don’t need me to buy their shit lol.
“Shut up and consume”
That’s not how this works

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.
The stereotype that old British men are all butlers who get off on being locked in the freezer.
Indeed. Some of us prefer being locked in the pantry.
That’s not a stereotype.
Of course it isn’t. I am clearly making a joke. lol holy crap this is happening every single day on lemmy now whats happening to this place?
Yeah, I crack sarcastic Jokes all the time and it feels like no one on Lemmy gets sarcasm

Seriously, this place is getting so much fucking worse than Reddit when it comes to that. It’s almost every single day now.
Something that is accurate and true is not a stereotype.
I’m sorry, but another user has already confirmed that some British men prefer being locked in the pantry so it isn’t accurate.
I think you were both making jokes
Sarcasm is damn near impossible to pick up over text unless it’s extremely obvious.
If it’s extremely subtle sarcasm yes. I agree. There was nothing subtle about my post though
I agree, but I’ve done the same thing before and people have totally taken it seriously.
That doesn’t mean it’s extremely hard to pick up on obvious sarcasm. It just means some people are morons lol.
people with an extreme moral superiority complex emboldened by the anonymity of the internet.

Yet the Uncharted games exist.
Dinosaurs without feathers.
