[Stop It]

Maybe read the damn petition before going into a frenzy... You are no better than the people you always mock.

That is satire or trolling, it is not even subtle.

And what right some of you have to speak shit about some people's beliefs? You are just like the worst trumpists. Getting tired of that emo ass "Ima an atheist hur dur" attitude. Maybe show some respect to other people? How damn hard is it?

Massive citation needed.

Who are you defending here? Fictional right wing Christian cult members? People who get offended by portrayals of right wing Christian cults? Who is being disrespected here?

You're not being clever by (badly) playing the "both sides are bad" card.

 

[KORNdoggy]

"In these times, you must understand that there might be some violent repurcussions if you intend to follow through with your pointless criticism."

are they really threatening them with violence? yeah, that's going to go down well. what a sad bunch of cunts.

>a few dozen supporters
Amazing news.
Back to reading petitions against Roman Reigns

 

[Jonnax]

Lol. That's a pretty funny read.
In almost certain it's satire though.

 

[jdmonmou]

Seems like a joke petition to me.

 

[Ray Wonder]

Can't tell anymore. My meters are broken. I can't tell what's concern trolling, being genuinely offended, being offended on someone else's behalf, being sarcastic. I think it's reaching some sort of tipping point to be honest.

 

[Dunkley]

Conspiracy theory: It's a marketing stunt for Far Cry 5.

 

[aravuus]

Obvious satire, yeah. Still funny.

And what right some of you have to speak shit about some people's beliefs? You are just like the worst trumpists. Getting tired of that emo ass "Ima an atheist hur dur" attitude. Maybe show some respect to other people? How damn hard is it?

Why do I always see you posting the weirdest shit lmao

 

[hemo memo]

Religion, what's it good for again?

Is this necessary?

Change the villains. It’s not so hard, really. Just change the villains to something more realistic. Islam is on the rise in America, as is the violence of inner city gangs. Are you scared to do so? In the words of Boltair – “To learn who rules you, simply find out who’s not being criticized.”

You had a point until you started up with being insulting yourself.

 

[Rodelero]

Ubisoft should to the exact opposite and turn the main villain into an obvious Trump parody.

 

[Jhn]

Funny how I and many others are bummed out that the sect does not seem to be extremist conservative christians, while conservative christians themselves feel it hits too close to home.

 

[sturgboski]

It's interesting that Ubisoft also foresaw what was happening in the US and what this last election and current administration has wrought.

I look forward to the game.

 

[Wensih]

Really, I think we should all take a step back from this bickering and ruminate on what Boltair would say.

 

[Surface of Me]

No, I'd say the current direction is more powerful and interesting than that.

 

[hydrophilic attack]

I haven't kept up with this game

What is it with it that has these alt-right snowflakes all triggered?

 

[ASIS]

Not the same thing.

Of course it isn't.

 

[MThanded]

This has to be a joke right. It's pretty good satire.

- Alter the plot. It's obvious that you continue to insist on using these characters. However with a few artistic tweaks you can save the concept entirely. Have the villains simply be misguided patriots forced into making their own nation vs. the will of an oppressive over-government, construed of all the people they turn their wrath against in their immediate surroundings. Their brutal physical and sexual violence towards their oppressors will then be explained as a reaction to harsh government policies and taxation, to show that both sides are wrong.

This is very clearly a joke... I hope.

This person is way too #woke. Most people don't have that much self awareness so they must be on the outside looking in.

They walked past a mirror after watching the trailer.

 

[Sutton Dagger]

After not really having any interest in this game, this sort of stuff is actually increasing my interest. Well done ignorant assholes, you've just ensured another sale.

 

[KORNdoggy]

the wackjob cult religious enemy cuts a little too close to the bone perhaps?

 

[Bananajama]

I'll buy this - the setting is hugely appealing for me

Skipped the odd one or two before

What's his name that's done a TV show where he went inside US some 'religious cults' (christian based)

It was cray cray!

*Louis Theroux! That's the one

[EstoyBlackWaldo]

No way this is serious, it reads too much like satire.

 

[Gradly]

Never been a fan of Far Cry games but I'm gonna get this one to support the devs

 

[Theslammer]

293 supporters. This doesn't deserve its own thread, imo, nor are we even sure if it's serious.

"Hurr durr Ima believer of da gahds"

You're literally doing the same thing.

 

[MilkLizard]

Pff, day one now. Just to piss them off.

Posts like this one should be grounds to have to read a facebook news feed for an entire week straight with no breaks, and after each post required to say "I respect that you believe or think that, good for you".

 

[birthbystars]

I'm actually super hyped that it's focused on religious zealots/alt-right nutjobs. It actually makes me want to play the game even more.

 

[Kssio_Aug]

the continued rejection of romantic partners when they find out our hobby, the appropriation of our culture by so-called “gamers” on twitter. NO MORE!

 

[NoMoreTrolls]

Guys, this is definitely satire.

 

[JareBear: Remastered]

In regards to the OP, it is just a reminder that some people just live to be offended these days.

 

[Carlius]

Boltair.

yup.. Boltair.

 

[Kralamoonard]

Religion, what's it good for again?

Yay, lets blame religion even though we don't know what the heck we're talking about.

Doing shitty stuff and controlling others.

Please tell me more about your nuanced and expertise opinions about religion.

 

[Steez]

This is why "I'M SO OFFENDED"-GAF is so damn obnoxious. It's clearly taking the piss out of some of the few crazy reactions to the trailer.

Nobody is offended. Everybody just thinks it's asinine, which it is, regardless of the intent.

 

[Triteon]

It has to be satire right.

Right,

 

[Majine]

I refuse to believe this is real.

 

[Chaos2Frozen]

Guys, this is definitely satire.

Why? Because no one could possibly be this blind/dumb/hypocritical?

Are you sure it's not beyond the realm of possibilities?

 

[Beartruck]

Protip it's not your hobby that's making romantic partners reject you.

.

 

[Johndoey]

It's definitely a joke petition. Got a chuckle out of it so it did it's job I guess.

 

[hidys]

A couple years ago I would have said it's definitely satire but today...

I'm betting it's real.

 

[Plum]

We've tolerated it in the name of gameplay design and innovation

This is Ubisoft and the Far Cry franchise we're talking about here so...

...it's a troll.

 

[Javier23]

Boltair.

yup.. Boltair.

It's a joke.

I refuse to believe this is real.

You are making the right choice.

Why? Because no one could possibly be this blind/dumb/hypocritical?

Are you sure it's not beyond the realm of possibilities?

Because it's kinda really very much obvious.

 

[Gestault]

Good o'l Boltaire.

This is Satire.

 

[rakkadakka]

Appropriate for them to claim that Islam is the only problem in weekend where a an alt right fanshit stabs two people to death.

I'm buying this at release.

Damn fine troll if it is.
