So I saw this right, saw the Extra Credits stuff right, and I was like "Huh…", so i was watching a different video because tabs and then I realized that it's April Fools' day. I was like "Oh, maybe this is just a joke", but just to double-check, I went to Extra Credits' youutbe channel, and no, this is a legitimate and real video on thier channel.
Another day another reason for someone to have their little fragile feelings hurt
This guy non-ironically refers to the demons from doom as “mortally challenged”
I bet this dude played the TLOU 2 and decided to make this video
The irony is that aside from your decent delivery, a good portion of your content revolves around “oversimplifying a non-issue to search way too deep into it, to make a problem of it.” This vid for example.
I know I know, creating content for 12yros 24/7 requires its own set of strategies
But why was he saying that orcs are bad did he never play elder scrolls or world of warcraft
This “extra credits” guy is fr a closet racist
Why would you compare someone to an orc that is green to a brown woman
I think that painting one class or group is lazy. I don't however play 40k and think "omg wow these orks are just like minorities". I like dynamic games and story! If one race is just bad because… THAT'S SUPER LAZY! I think this video has a good title, like I don't want no story in my games, lore is a big part of my favs, (Doom Eternal, Halo MCC, D2). I like the Extra credits yt, but c'mon guys. Thank you for coming to my ted talk.
Call of duty 2021: before you can shoot other players you must determine whether they are a good or bad person, rinse and repeat
My reaction to this whole video is "What? Make sense!"
He's missing the point: the societies in fantasy such as orcs are rarely presented as inherently or prescriptively evil, it's the societal and cultural aspects that make them evil, it's sociological, we may find fascism deplorable but we aren't making an essenyialist argument that Germans are evil
I remember when they used to be a reputable and legitimate source of information
First it was “Goblins are an allegory for Jewish people.”, and now it is, “Orcs are an allegory for black people.” Racists sure love to project their own prejudices onto fantasy creatures while pretending to fight against harmful stereotypes.
I'm a black woman and never in my life I see orcs as a "racist" depiction of black people like me I just see them as fantasy creatures but only in the USA I guess.
The fact that they could have made an interesting video if their minds weren't poisoned with identity politics is what makes this sad
i’m surprised bethesda hasn’t been cancelled for the races in the elder scrolls series
If you don't know what games are or how they work, stop making video's on them.
Sure do love slaughtering thousands of rats in warhammer vermintide 2!
Imagine his logic in Doom. "Oh yeah saying demons are evil is racist!!!"
I’m 11 and still understands the things that he’s talking about
He's using orcs as in example when they are literally built for war, they live off war
It is racist to sterotype a race even in video games. Not that its an real issue tho.
I'm sure the Necromorphs in Dead Space are all actually reasonable, well-mannered creatures. They're just portrayed as "the bad guys"
Redguards have darker pigment too
I guess the zombies attacking Louis or Coach in L4D are racist.
optimus out here ending racism
We are humans just with a 10% differents from one another, we are all the dominant species at the end of the day thanks to Science and Technology
You know, ngl when playing games, I sometimes stop to consider the moral implications of my actions.
Then I continue playing.
I'm sorry, but the traffic design in your city is so funky that I can't focus on the video.
So when are we not going to talk about race?
Cities Skylines is back baby.
I really hope you actually made this as an april fools joke and realize the faults in your argument.
The only game that actually fits the theme of that entire video is Divinity Original Sin and that's because everybody doesn't trust magic users period after the equivalent of a living God had to save the world from a secret order that was bent on bringing back their master through the very same magic that made some people's lives very easy. Doing some magic is fine but doing too much just results in the magic Inquisition kicking down your door, it also doesn't help that a war is about to start and everybody's on edge.
Who else really enjoyed the gameplay?
they could get away with it with an "april fools"
Extra History > Extra Credits
I honestly due sort of understand what he's saying like for example let's just back up here he's not comparing a troll or something to a caucasian and saying that it's bad and evil or something he's not being an SJW he's just saying that hey the way some people compare minorities to fictitious races may not be exactly cool and kosher I think it was just a bad take.
This is why DnD is best. I can be an orc wizard or a goliath barbarian.
I'm convinced that Extra Credits is behind the dislike button being removed
The guy is mad because his species was wiped out by a devouring swarm in stellaris.
Hey guys remember when extra credits talked about mythology,gaming and history without putting politics into it?
I swear to god racist has lost all meaning
optimus check your calendar he got you good
they didn’t think it’s possible the species would have been enslaved or employed by the actual villain and the games in 40k is just showing one perspective if ppl asked I bet you would see more races perspective actually I think there are already
ah yes. using fabricated racism to fix real racism by being racist.
Skyrim and GTA players: LET’S END RACISM THEN!
It's a shame too. Extra History is still a neat topic to listen to
Lemme correct this premise: SJW's are the racists. Then they project that racism onto others.
The sad thing is that these guys used to be better than this.
