Are you saying the cop would have taken the water on the face if the person was white?

You live in Russia… your government jails and kills people it disagrees with… Yeah… if course… fuck Russian police. No shit.

And she does so… And then she gets down on the floor… All of that seems good. It’s the part where she reaches back up for the water from the floor, whilst staring directly at the cio that just warned her she would be shit if she tried to harm them

New to Lemmy. Mb. Where can I find international politics?

It’s strange seeing people just make stuff up…

I watched the entire video. Did you not.?

I watched the entire thing. Did you not? Genuine question?

I was more referring to the ignoring the cops requests as she walked over and picked up a pot of boiling water . . But most importantly, the part where she reaches up for the pot, after being warned at gunpoint that the cops feel unsafe.

She reached up for the pot…

I don’t think her race is responsible for her reaching up for that pot. But that might just be me.

True dat!

I would imagine a whole myriad of different reasons, some rational and logical and some bigoted and dunse.

And not to mention, I have seen many many many comments upset about race focused casting (over talent, ability, suitability to the role etc) and then people ask 'why are you complaining about race of gender of a fictional character."

So… they think they commentor is being racist because they actually engage with the subject.

Fair… fair…

Honestly, I just hope it is anything close to the first game…

If they start treating the audience like dumb children instead different intelligent engaged interested minds…it could be bad

So put it in the post that it’s only for that country? Lol

American exceptionalism at its best!

What are you even saying rn? You want them to make a game specifically with some goty awards in mind?

…IN… AMERICA.

do you people really forget about the other 200 nations?

I disagree… of course in countries like America you would have some outspoken actual racist n shit…

But the vast majority of people just don’t like casting for castings sake…

Nobody bitches about sigourney weaver in alien… nobody bitches about Denzel playing leading roles cos he’s black, calling it 'woke. ’

Why don’t people call that woke?

Because its obvious. When a project is hiring just to fill a quota, often…it is extremely obvious.

The vast vast vast majority of people don’t care what race, gender,sexuality you are, just as long as those things werent being taken into account when trying to get a job.

Yaknow… basic equal human rights stuff.

‘Going woke,’ is referring to intent.

Are you meeting quotes or actually engaging with race on a substantiative level.

It’s undoubtable that a lot of race casting in recent times has been to appease audiences rather than and honest engagement with reality and irl race relations.

Intent… it matters.

I don’t know if your last sentence was put together enough to be understandable.

Again, I think if a person was 5/6 feet away from a military man with loaded gun, and they threatened the military man, and he raised his weapon and threatened to shoot them if they attempt to throw the boiling water in them… Yeah, I think they would have equally protected themselves.

Disgusting… I hope you get to live in a nation with no police some day.

They just have to not reach for pots of boiling water after threatening to use it as a weapon.

That’s eems reasonable…

How old this be inductive reasoning?

Surely the philosopher is the one looking for definitions…
