I wanted to try some Gears of War Reloaded multiplayer again, only to immediately run into matchmaking issues. I checked out the Steam discussions tab to see if other people were talking about them but instead found a multi-page thread where gamers whine about a blonde woman not looking Aryan enough. Not sure why I thought I'd find anything of value there

The guy putting Free Palestine in the middle of his anti-semitic, anti-LGBT, anti-immigration Great Replacement rant lenin-confused

Also, the same guy acts like this redesign of Anya is something they introduced in Gears of War Reloaded, but Reloaded is just a slightly touched up port of Gears of War: Ultimate Edition from 10 years ago, a game he claims he already owns

So they're not just Nazis but also Fake Gamers who aren't even familiar with the games they're whining about

...she's still white and blonde.

That's what you think. From the expert race scientists in the same thread when someone else pointed this out:

You do realize that races have different bone structures, particularly noticeable in the face, right? In this case, looking at her facial bone structure, she ain't white.

Taking the calipers to a literal polygon model.

Kinda forgot, what’s that quote from chomsky where if nazis only have a 99.9% victory they’ll throw a pity party as if they lost? Anything other than absolute 100% victory is treated like a defeat.

I can't even tell which one is the one they're mad about. Both look pretty blond haired and blue eyed to me. Are they mad because she looks less "anime" now, and have confused their anime gooner shit for "aryan superiority"? Or are they mad at the picture on the right, where she looks even more like pathetic neo-nazi Gamer goonerbait than before, and don't understand that human skin isn't actually porcelain white?

In the OP, the screenshot on the left is from the original 2006 Gears of War while the one on the right is from the 2015 remake and is the one they're mad about. They believe she's got the "facial bone structure" of a black woman

The character has had an almost entirely new face in every game she's been in:

I honestly think it's just her hair. Her hair's pulled back and tied into a more plain and realistically militaristic bun or ponytail in the remake instead of being more styled and feminine and because it makes it look a bit frizzy they think she's black now

Take all the white people out of videos games

There is no point in engaging with them either because they will just mass report your responses until you get warned or banned so just block them on sight. No point in reporting them either becauae many of the mods snd admins don't understand or give a fuck about threats to marginalized people.

Many of the i-am-adolf-hitler will go around from game to game tonstur shit up for that exclusive purpose. So it's interesting when I visit other pages and see.

Funny when you see "please add/don't add LGBTQ" to a game and dev that are clearly inclusive. They know nothing about the game. Just trolling or astroturfing.

Plenty of times I've checked out the board of a title that's barely been announced and there's already a bunch of threads from these types asking if the game's going to be woke or censored even if it makes no sense for the game in question. With one of the Fatal Frame games I remember some of them admitting multiple pages deep into a thread they didn't even care what the game actually was like, they just wanted to ogle at cute Japanese girls

To borrow their own terminology, these guys are tourists

Don’t suppose mass reporting them is an option? Someone gets reported way too much mods can’t really ignore.

True Aryans have a low poly count

this society hates white people

You fucking wish, candy ass. Everyone fucking worships you. Can’t you coddled brats just shut the fuck up and enjoy how the universe spoils your pampered ass rotten?

They are both literally the same color. One has higher texture resolution and better rendering with better lightening.
