People are losing their poo poo on the steam forums just because the protagonist in Watchdogs 2 is black....it is pretty loving hilarious...sort of like looking into a time bubble where it's 1920 but we have video games. The posts are getting deleted pretty quick, but some remain. However, it has gotten to the point where I am not sure which are pure troll posts and which are real anymore e.g:

Some Fuckwit posted:

I have a serious question about this upcoming title.
Since when are black people smart enough to hack? I mean, Will it be as good as the other Watch Dogs game.

e: Also the loving Steam tags....

Oh sure, when a black man is the protagonist it's a game about committing crimes

Aisha Tyler towering over a short, meek Frenchman as he prattles on about whatever design-by-committee one-note offering Ubisoft has this year

An indie developer in flannel mumbles inaudibly about his meaningful creation and cries in front of millions of viewers

An audience of nerds thoughtfully nod as a WWI infantryman chokes on mustard gas to a Skrillex track

I remember there was a level designer who wrote about how someone was trying to explain to a higher up how the trains were laid out at 90 degree angles and how that wouldn't work and they couldn't understand what he was talking about and explained that they'd worry about it later and whoops the game shipped with goofy trains.

SFM you do a lot of good youtube stuff we should collab someday

poo poo like this reminds me of those "TOTALLY GNARLY" teen vids from the 90s made by stuffy baby boomer 40 year old men that had no idea how to reach the younger generation.


Just now it's done by skinny man-bun haired shut ins who only know social interaction from the Star Trek novels they read as a kid.
