Story Mode Controversy --REDUX

The reason it's important is because if you either think all such depictions are bad and I can write off this thread as being unrealistic in expectations or you don't agree they are bad and you are biased in your ideology and you are not holding everyone to the same standard.

I have no issues deciding whether something breaks my moral compass and is racist. I take into account motive, context and other factors such as time and place. For example a stand up comedy special with taboo topics might be offensive or racist but in the context of a stand up comedy it's purpose isn't to deride. Also I do not agree the story of a Native American that owns a casino is racist or bad in itself nor if he is an antagonist. I think such notions of lazy Native Americans are antiquated and an opinion wouldn't form or change due to their portrayal in 7D2D.

I understand what you are saying. I just don't agree with the premise.

my guy, if the only answers you will accept are answers you've already decided are worthless and therefore are ones in which you've "won" preemptively then you aren't looking for answers you are looking for justification.

The thread stems from ideology. It's the entire point.

if this is your honest feeling on the matter then anything i or anyone else says will be too insubstantive to convince you to change your mind.

It was like "the wave" that spectators at sports events often do to show support or celebrate a great play. The Tomahawk Chop was a similar type of move that fans of the Kansas City Chiefs and Atlanta Braves would do and because of criticism, the action has been downplayed and modified. They used to beat drums and do warlike chants and basically act like stereotypical Indian warriors.

ok well it being sports is certainly why i was out of the loop. the only time i was ever invested as an adult was right after old lizzie died and the lads cheering during the rovers and djurgårdens game decided to bring it up and i know for an absolute fact that telling what i thought of it would get me kicked from this thread so i will leave it at that x''D
