pretty sure I like to consider GL Non-Political. I think?
 
Not sure what exactly is meant by "political game news".

Making articles about how it's racist to use black people in a certain way is really racism in itself.
I mean, why should the whole world censor how they represent black, Asian, Muslim, Indian (the Native American one, though the people from India could apply here too in this sense), or Latino people, but not white?

I wasn't trying to turn it into a political discussion, more of a discussion in the sense of "does common sense even exist?".
 
Reminds me of Resident Evil 5's allegations of racism because of a white protagonist killing black enemies in a small African village. Albeit they are zombies.

Capcom is a Japanese company.
In Japan the concept "racism" doesn't actually exist, because you're either an insider of a group or an outsider of a group, regardless of your appearance, nationality, etc.

Which is why such a conflict with "white vs black" and other obscure things tend to happen so often once such game reaches overseas.
 
all politics are demonic, never forget :smilingimp:
True, but I asked about your demonic politics in your domain specifically, and not any of your brethren's demonic politics in their domains. Like, is whipping GamingLatest Slave @IntoxNitram part of your demonic politics in play here? lol
