Culture Kotaku: Cuphead is racist - If you don't self-flagellate at every opportunity over racism you're a racost

http://archive.is/3Ui7j

tl;dr: Cuphead is racist because racist stuff happened in the 1930s and the devs didn't insert social commentary into a game about a fucking anthropomorphic cup.

Has the writer of the article ever seen a cartoon from the 30s involving black people? They'd probably hate this game more if they had included something like that in the game

I had to check what the author looked like, and yes, he's white.

With a schnoze like that, the first name Ethan, a traditional Jewish name, and the last name Gach, a Polish surname common among Jews, gonna have to go with /pol/ was right again.

But nice try Tel Aviv.

The real truth is that those people are secretly racist

Secretly racist nothing. They openly and proudly admit they think colored people can't keep up and need extra help.

Anyway. Cuphead looks fun, and the more game journalists try to tear it down just because it reveals them as the talentless hacks that they are, the more I want to buy a copy and check it out.

they probably just wrote this 'cause everyone was expecting them to write this kinda shit

still dumb nonetheless

I saw another article on this recently I wonder if this is their new method of attack on cuphead for shaming games journalism like those filthy gamergates.

This is pretty much their sad coordinated revenge for when their "I suck at this game therefore it's bad" attack failed.

I still love that video comparing journalists failing at Cuphead's tutorial to intelligence tests on pigeons. There are birds with a better grasp of logic and problem solving skills than game journos.

Lol Kotaku
Now I'm waiting for a similar article about games who uses Lovecraft as inspiration and how They are inherently racists unless They spends half of the time preaching against it

Hey don't hate on birds. You know that some birds have near intelligence of that of a 5 year old? Perhaps we should start employing 5 year olds to review games, at least they would do a better job than the halfass hacks that currently do.

All the reviews would be along the lines of "I LIKE THIS GAME BECAUSE IT IS FUN BY KATIE, AGE 5 & 1/2" and written in crayon. And they'd still be more informative and better quality than Kotaku.

Games journalists never cease to amaze me with how exceptional they are. It took them like, 3 weeks to come up with this brilliant plan and they just figured no one would notice? lol

 

[someweebname]

I can be a video game journalist because I too can read another writer's article and quote it without adding anything worthwhile to it. I've not read a crappier book report then when I had to grade a fellow classmate's paper in 4th grade.

Check this out:

Dean Takahashi still beats the tutorial before the kid because the kid was having problems with the parry section, but that was still having problems with carrying out the game's mechanics as opposed to having problems with reading and interpreting what the on screen prompts are telling you to do.

Of course Cuphead is racist. The only black character is the literally the devil who makes you do his work while sits on his lazy ass.

 

[Burgers in the ass]

If you beat the Devil under 1 minute, you'll get a bonus cutscene where Cuphead says "niggers belong in the field"

If you beat the devil 3 times in a row all under 30 seconds, you get a secret bonus character which is a black cup that cuphead whips

Kotaku only hires cucks and trannies. Why is anyone surprised? You don't even need journalism experience to work for them - just a girl cock and some white guilt.

 

[Splendid]

Every time I see a Wild West movie I'm always disappointed that they don't remind me of how shitty it was to be black in that era!

 

[Water-T]

I remember when video game magazines like GamePro and EGM first popped up, and the only thing that the writers had to do was give you a brief summary about what the game was, the good and bad points, and whether the game was worth buying/renting. Now it's all articles about "This game is problematic because tits", "Buy this game because the creator sucked my dick at PAX", and "There are no option to play as a black Muslim lesbian trans woman in this game, therefore the creators are Nazis"

Birds don't take gender studies.

Why didn't the difficulty of Bloodborne and Dark Souls 3 trigger massive autistic tantrums like Cuphead did? Is it because the grimdark atmosphere of those games didn't appeal to leftist manchildren like Cuphead does?
