Has political correctness gone too far in video games?
What's next? A game where we play as a suicide bomber who is the protagonist?
>>
>>378309058
That wouldn't be politically correct
>>
>>378309058
Atomic Bomberman is an all time classic
>>
>>378309058
That already exists
Insurgency
>>
>>378309097
You might call it.../pol/itically incorrect.
See what I did there?
>>
not really
videogames are now at their most violent and least family friendly, outside of the mobile market, political correctness only finds its way into AAA trash you shouldn't be paying for anyways

This is a whacky British comedy about four hapless Jihadis trying to plan a terror attack in some shithole part of England.
It's a really good movie

>suicide bomber
>not "freedom fighter"
>>
You guys think having a woman or a non-white is political correctness.
>>
Of course it has, not just in games

What's the deal with the new uncharted? Any interesting drama around it?
>>
>>378309425
They don't fight for any abstract "freedom", but for Allah's sake.
>>
>>378309627
Chloe is going to India to get some treasure, Nadine is broke and desperate so she works with Chloe now, that really is all we know.
>>
>>378309712
freedom is allah's sake, son. i don't know a greater cause. everything will turn allah.
>>
>>378309558

It's the definition of political correctness. Just because both political sides are going nuts and fighting over the definiton of the term doesn't mean it's not the case.

HAHAHA SEE GUISE

Wouldn't a suicide bomber game be really short or a TellTale game, where you're basically sitting making choices and actions to become one

Great film, really funny satirical black comedy.
Well worth the watch lads
>>
>>378309869
If it was a Telltale game none of the choices would matter until the end, where you have to choose to cut the red wire or the green wire.

Regardless of your action, the character appears alive and well in the next game.

Have a (You), Shitposters

On a another note, I'd actually play a game starring a suicide bomber that has to deal as much damage as possible

Like the Highway crashmode in Burnout 3 where you have to crash and wreckage as many cars as possible
>>
>>378309869
It could be a one mission thing.
Like no russian.
>>
Suicide bombing was almost all that I did in CoD4. I would get drunk and cook grenades while screaming ALLALALALALALA at the top of my lungs in a falsetto over voice chat.
>>
>>378309851
I mean, they are.
>>
>>378309869
I could see the The Path / Sunset developers making one and putting all blame on colonialism.

Yeah but OP doesn't need to shitpost pretending to be one.

better image for anyone who wants it
>>
>>378309780
this is weird that you'd use allah in that sense considering allah is the arabic translation of god. Especially considering arab christians and jews use that word too.

It's more weird when I see comments that go like "man i hate islam and muslims, fuck allah, jews and christians are better"

There was a flash game like that i remember, and it also had a sequel or two

careful OP, apostasy on the internet carries the death penalty

treating people with respect.png
182KB, 599x604px
I was reading a book (about interjections, oddly enough) yesterday which included the phrase “In these days of political correctness…” talking about no longer making jokes that denigrated people for their culture or for the colour of their skin. And I thought, “That’s not actually anything to do with ‘political correctness’. That’s just treating other people with respect.”

Which made me oddly happy. I started imagining a world in which we replaced the phrase “politically correct” wherever we could with “treating other people with respect”, and it made me smile.

You should try it. It’s peculiarly enlightening.

I know what you’re thinking now. You’re thinking “Oh my god, that’s treating other people with respect gone mad!”

How dare they attempt to design a protagonist that's actually unique.

>>378317797
So instead of generic white guy we're going to get generic black guy? Coolio.
