What is it with videogames and pandering?

Who is asking for this dumb shit?

No one is. They want to nomalize their sick ideology , and the best way to do it is through the youngsters, teens, and children. The next generation of people. So what’s the easiest way to target those demographics? entertainment media.

 

[Krieger]

Can these retards with their "Latinx" bullshit fucking piss off already. I'm not learning spanish at my university so that these no-brain idiots can fuck the language just to be "InClUsIvE".

 

[Kikorin]

Please someone check the Italian version to see if this is a thing too

 

[Kings Field]

I'm not buying/playing this garbage.

 

[gaming_again]

In 10 years everybody will be saying ‘Latinx’ and stuff like this is how it gets pushed. Don’t buy it.

 

[Whitecrow]

Fuck Insomniac lmao.

MJ design was already a red flag, but this is in another level.

 

[gaming_again]

I think woke people are losers. They cannot make it in life and wants rent free acknowledgement. There are those amongst them, are well off and just doing performative wokeness to gain feels good cred.

American woke culture trying to take over the world. yucks.

Succeeding in taking over the world.

 

[Flutta]

According to Spider-Man 2 .. everyone in NYC speaks broken Spanish and 90% of the population is homosexual.




If only ..,, maybe Manhattan?

There wouldn’t be a population if that was the case

 

[Flutta]

Succeeding in taking over the world.

The west yes, the world nah.

 

[Silver Wattle]

This is a classic case of cultural appropriation and gaslighting of native speakers.
Fucking woke American rats, biggest hypocrites on earth.

 

[gaming_again]

The west yes, the world nah.

I am very happy to hear this.

 

[Reaseru]

The west yes, the world nah.

Even in the West it's starting to become an annoyance for what were once moderated people. The rapid growth of the far-right movements within Europe is a great example of it. People are starting to get sick of it...

 

[Killer8]

The game seems to be woke as shit so it's not surprising to see Latinx creep into it too

 

[systemr123]

Isn't it problematic to assume their genders just like that? If we want to be better, it would be advisable to refer to them as latinx to make all individuals feel welcome and loved in this important discourse.

Please tell me you’re using expert level sarcasm here .

 

[Shake Your Rump]

Has anyone actually checked the game outside this single video clip or conversation?

It is my understanding that the -e ending is used when the gender is unknown (or maybe this particular doctor is actually “nonbinary”). Notice that the gendered form is still used when referring to the science, and not the person.

The west yes, the world nah.

Not even the west, just the USA, and some other minor places that are backtracking on their stupidity now.

The -e ending is incorrect, no matter the context.

Doctore is not even a word...

Spanish is a gendered language.

Insomniac going the same way as Bungie with their "Latinx/Latine" shit.

 

[GermanZepp]

Absolutely nobody talks in "progressive language" in Argentina (just for parody). It's 100% a political statement to show how lefty/woke you are. Fuck this. Can't wait to hear Wolverine using they/them before cuting in half some dude.

Surprisingly it is a word.... a verb.

 

[Imtjnotu]

How do people in Spain, Mexico, Argentina feel about this generally speaking? It's wild that we're out here butchering people's languages to be 'inclusive' of gender politics. I don't understand it. Didn't hear about any of this even 2 years ago.. what's going on lol?

None of my Latin friends like the term latinx. I swear it's just a liberal college thing and That's about it.

Canada, New Zealand, Australia, and the British Isles seem to be waaay more woke than the US is. I guess it depends on how you classify them re being minor though.

 

[ElCasual]

Como mexicano puedo decir:
CHINGA TU MADRE , INSOMNIAC Y AL QUE SE LE OCURRIÓ LA IDEA.
after this I can say that stupid idea is from the same jerk that made Rivet a lesbian.

i'd be down for argentinian spider-man

 

[SmokedMeat]

So wait…the woke crowd is trying to change up Spanish??

 

[delfrickintree]

Gay commies tend to do stupid things like this, and push it to a point where people become violent. lol

 

[Hunnybun]

Stop buying their shit then they will stop.

Yeah sure we'll see an instant reaction from a 0.00001% decline in sales. Real effective strategy.

[Fake]

Western devs once again proved to be ignorant.

 

[Thirty7ven]

Guess the differences in grammar, vocabulary, and pronunciation don’t matter across Spanish speaking countries.

This though is a real major problem.

 

[Kurotri]

any examples? out of curiosity

We still have a basic understanding of Spanish or spanglish. Same way English and slang is so different between England and the USA

What are these people going to do with Wolverine?

It's WolverinX, you bigot!

Another 90+ MC game.

 

[Guerilla Munch]

Still with this Latinx shit goddamn why US always have to bother all cultures around the world by forcing theirs everywhere and not ever asking for permission. Please stop

Yikes, this is a problematic post.

Do better, Perfx.

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

This is the real problem inside sony.

 

[SGRU]

Not according to the linked article.

You can either be a "doctor" or a "doctora", theres no such thing as "doctore". That -e ending is incorrect, not accepted by the RAE (Real Academia Española) and contrary to what is taught in schools. Is just an invention made to accommodate the woke movement in a gendered language like the Spanish.

 

[Hypereides]

I'm just waiting till common sense and rationality becomes en vogue again in western game dev.

Fuck Insomniac lmao.

MJ design was already a red flag, but this is in another level.

Another flag should've been the massive overload of glowing 9-10/10s review scores. It seems like things like this override any kind of sensibility and integrity a mainstream US game reviewer has left.

 

[systemr123]

I’m not from there but when you see the news or anything else Canada feels like it’s a total 1984 fascist state now with king Trudeau at the helm. It was seen as paradise and the place to be before he took the helm.

Now no one even would like to be found death there.

Nichegamer always reporting on the important issues.
'Le' is an accepted substitution to el/la in Spanish.

No, I'm sorry but it's spoken by minorities. Luckily.

 

[Thirty7ven]

In brazilian portuguese:

The personal name keeps in english, and some people are getting mad because of it. The fucking personal name...

The guy joked by translating in the literal way Miles Morales (Quilômetros Moralista)
"think about how good some names are in english. Imagine when you pick the character and see Miles Morales there"

Trying to understand what’s going on here?

Miles is milhas
Morales isn’t morals nor moralist

What I mean to say is that guy is dumb, and he writes awful portuguese with a lot of errors.

No, it isn't. We use it for memes and to mock the French.
Sincerely, a native Latin American.

 

[Esppiral]

Does European Spanish suffer from this shit too? Or only for Latinos?

 

[FingerBang]

I'm pretty pissed off about this. Our politicians are constantly making fools of themselves with this issue, saying ridiculous things that are nothing but a tongue twist because of this woke trend that no one cares about, making up words and trashing everything that is taught in school in terms of language. This is the most ridiculous and stupid government I can remember in Spain.

It's great for politicians because it's a useless causes that riles people up, so it's good for clout. It's an entirely fake thing that seems bigger because of people who live online instead of the real world. It's great for the fake left who now doesn't have to care about the working class, claiming to protect minorities for traits they can't change (race, gender, sex etc) where in the past it was there to protect the majority of people. It's great for the so-called right that instead of focusing on important shit like lowering taxes and making it easier to do business now has simply become "anti-left".

It's great for them and sucks for us. Let's focus on pronouns so that the 0.01 feels included but fuck you if you can't buy a house because the interest rate has gone up and your salary has been stagnating for 20 years, regardless of sex and race.
