more corporate pandering from epic. from the awful disney shilling from the star wars events, to a corporate backed political activism in game, its sad to see game studios going down the path of propaganda.

All corporate advertising and public relations is corporate propaganda. Everything a corporation does to make money is pandering. Wait until you find out about the millions of dollars spent on lobbying public officials though.

Geeze only took half a day spamming your threads to finally see the real side of you. Congrats on being the silent part of this country that no one wants.

retaining any semblance of parity with Democrats.

I mean China is doing great having just one party, why does the US need a whopping two of them?

For a "centrist," you sure post a bunch of right wing talking points. A few points

1) Being anti-racist is not a political position. It's a human rights position, and human rights are, or at least should be, apolitical.

2) Epic is a private company running a private game and can......do whatever the fuck they want in regards to holding events in their game. Kudos to them, too many dumb kids are exposed to immense bigotry online and then mirror it without thinking. A friend's kid the other day called his other friend a homophobic slur and his mother was like, "WHERE DID YOU LEARN THAT CAUSE IT WASN'T FROM ME?" and he had heard it while playing video games with voice comms.

That you think opposing racism is "shilling" or "political activism" explains exactly why nobody should consider anything you say on the topic to be worth listening to.

The left believes the system is racist against blacks and minorities. The right believes the system is growing to be racist against whites.

If you wanted to clearly take a non-partisan stand against racism, equal treatment would be given to both issues. But it looks like this corporation is taking the leftist opinion only.

Because the system being anti-white is clearly bullshit, how epic games handles its PR is not relevant.

That's because the former is based in reality, and the latter is based on paranoid delusion.

[Blur4stuff]

Racism existing against blacks and minorities is reality. It's not a leftist position. The fantasy that whites are also treated in the same way reminds me of christians always imagining that they're being persecuted so they can play the victim and then feel justified when they do insane shit.

You don't give equal treatment to two different issues when one of them is real and the other is bullshit.

Absolute, steaming, horse shit.

This is just an appeal to a false middle, that both sides are facing the same issue. That both are just "opinions", and worth equal consideration.

That's an objective lie.

Systemic racism against blacks and hispanics (in particular, but by no means limited to) is statistically observable in the USA. It is an observable fact.

Supposed racism against whites is a fearmongering white supremacist myth used to encourage fascism and oppression of minorities. It has never had any merit, and anyone making that claim is, pretty much definitively, a white supremacist.

If your point is there's a lot of lying white supremacists upset that their propaganda horseshit is being called out as such, well, maybe that's true, but it just means they're racist ding-dongs who're too chickenshit to own up to their own actions. It doesn't mean they have a valid point.

None of this is about left/right anything. It's about observable fact versus racist propaganda. If you think the left wing has the monopoly on facts, and the right is entirely about racist shitmongering, well, that's an interesting argument, but it's your argument, here.

Majority Of White Americans Say They Believe Whites Face Discrimination

October 24, 20171:35 PM ET


A majority of whites say discrimination against them exists in America today, according to a poll released Tuesday from NPR, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health.

"If you apply for a job, they seem to give the blacks the first crack at it," said 68-year-old Tim Hershman of Akron, Ohio, "and, basically, you know, if you want any help from the government, if you're white, you don't get it. If you're black, you get it."

More than half of whites — 55 percent — surveyed say that, generally speaking, they believe there is discrimination against white people in America today. Hershman's view is similar to what was heard on the campaign trail at Trump rally after Trump rally. Donald Trump catered to white grievance during the 2016 presidential campaign and has done so as president as well.

Endus now believes that NPR is a pile of steaming horseshit and an alt right propaganda arm apparently lol.

There's so many problems with this. First of all, the right and left aren't monolithic entities where everyone thinks exactly the same. Secondly, the vast majority of Americans believe that systemic racism is a problem, regardless of political affiliation. The differences in opinion only show up when asking people identifying as Republicans (who represent 26% of voters). Even bigger differences show up when asking people who support Trump.

You can't treat these as equal positions when it's only a minority of people who have these opinions.

Majority Of White Americans Say They Believe Whites Face Discrimination Don't Understand They Live in a Post Democratic Oligarchy and Would Rather Blame Their Problems on Minorities as Opposed to Their Ruling Class.

What they believe and what is the truth are 2 different things.

To be frank: Complaining about companies being against racism or prejudice isn't appropriate. This is closed.
