We found some racists can we burn them?

Speak your mind, or lack thereof. There may occasionally be on-topic discussions.

MC, either tell us what the hell you're linking to or don't link to it at all.

It's a phone call complaint to Gametrailers(I think) from a black woman about the upcoming XBLA game Castle Crashers, which is by the same folks who made Alien Hominid. She claimed that the player characters who are knights in white with specific colored coded armor represented the KKK and the enemies represented black people. She states that this is a horrible game for children.

At first, I really did not know what the hell she was talking about since the so-called "racist" enemies were your average medieval thug covered in brown tunics. Then near the last part of the footage, shadow-like enemies appear and I'm assuming this was probably the reason that woman was complaining. But those shadow enemies in design are hardly as bad as Megaman Powered Up JP's design of Oilman or even pre-redesigned Jynx from Pokemon. I mean, I didn't really see anything racist in the design until someone from another board pointed out that the look like Golliwogs and even then, that's really stretching it.

The call was pretty stupid, and yet I couldn't help but laugh.

I remember when Golliwogs were still on the marmalade bottles. I feel so old!
