What are the odds the game is extremely anti-Semitic? Given the posters in that topic, they are probably hoping for it. Bunch of assholes.

Why I will NOT be saying or wishing to anyone "Happy Thanksgiving".

This highly educational op-ed I have discovered regarding the dark history that surrounds this holiday and why celebrating it is problematic will explain why.

This article is written by a Native American who has been attempting to educate everyone about why Thanksgiving is problematic within Native American culture, if you agree with this effort, please share this widely, the more who learn why Thanksgiving is problematic, the better:

Here's another article explaining the true history of Thanksgiving:

https://www.businessinsider.com/history-of-thanksgiving-2017-11

Here's a 2019 book whose description states that Thanksgiving is "a holiday which celebrates a myth of colonialism and white proprietorship of the United States":

https://www.bloomsbury.com/us/this-land-is-their-land-9781632869241/

And here's a USA Today article from 2023 where it reports that "Indigenous scholars and activists say that the Thanksgiving story ignores a longer past and future for Native Americans":
https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2023/11/22/thanksgiving-story-native-american-history/71563811007/

Note:

I created this thread to try to educate people about the true history of Thanksgiving, a history that is NOT widely taught in schools. ALSO I created this thread to raise awareness that the history of Thanksgiving has been whitewashed and the Native Americans are still being oppressed in the 21st Century.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone. At my parents house where half the attendees voted for trump and somehow having a good time!

[Eric Cartman]

Most people don't actually want people thrown in prison for things that aren't like rape and murder, not even most thefts, that's why they get so upset when I respond to them saying the state (or as they usually put it "we") should do something by talking about how they want people thrown in prison or killed. But y'all aren't ready for that conversation. Which is why I bring it up as much as possible.

Nope. Everything you just said is factually wrong.
People should be arrested for:

• Watching DC not Marvel
  
• Watching Sony Marvel not Disney Marvel
  
• Voting while there is a genocide
  
• Buying Xbox not Playstation

Do they really think this hollow, smug, and vacuous online virtue signaling makes them "smart" and morally superior?

[Averon]

I had a student ask me if it was racist to wish people happy Thanksgiving, recently. I said no, but they might want to consider that not everyone celebrates Thanksgiving.

They looked at me truly confused, and started spouting the American mythology about pilgrims and indigenous people. They kept saying, "That's what I was taught." I let them finish and asked if they'd ever, even once, spoken to an indigenous person about the holiday.

They said no, and then looked at me and then, after thinking on it for a minute said: I guess thats pretty fucked up.

Also depressing to know someone like skillzilla81 is teaching kids.

I wonder how less repellent a lot of this stuff would be if they stopped with “Zionism, Zionism, Zionism”.

I guess is something of the Arab countries as they don’t give a fuck, but is annoying how hard lefties have adopted using the term while telling Jews that “actually, we are the ones using correctly.”  

[Eric Cartman]

I respect that developer for speaking out but ugh not looking forward to the chud brigade targeting Avowed now to grift and ragebait off of. They're just going to repackage the same shit from Dragon Age onto that game for the next 3 months

The art director went on social media to tell everyone how he added shit to the game only to "own the chuds" the fuck are you appreciating about that? That's absolutely embarrassing behavior and will of course the draw the culture war in. That's exactly what he wanted. Maybe the problem didn't start with Grummz here.

I hope all his Co workers are telling him to go suck a dick for putting them in this position

I've said it before and the depressing reality is I will likely say it again, but so much modern creative media seems motivated solely by spite and the opportunity to make people on social media big mad rather than any actual artisitic vision.

"Oh, I get to do a [beloved neglected franchise] reboot? Awesome, first of all, fuck the existing beloved characters, this is actually the story of a second generation middle class immigrant fighting for the liberation of palestine and trans rights while definding the police and distributing narcan to your fellow shoplifters who are just doing it to pay off their college loans, and you start the game by choosing your pronouns, fursona, the name of the bull in your polycule and your allyship flag. That will really stick it to them!"

[Eric Cartman]

The reality of the center is that they want extremists of both wings to shut up and fuck off. But because of the left rejecting anyone they think isn't as left as them, and the right being willing to embrace anyone with any common interest, we've got this stupid meme where the center are just nazi chuds that the left seems to think is an objective fact.

These morons will never learn.

I fucking hate that cartoon, it would be just as 'accurate' with one sides posters saying "I just want to keep the money I earn" and the other saying "guillotines for everyone richer than me"

[Eric Cartman]

You realize it's going to be mandatory after everyone organizes and the Revolution happens, right?

reading is a known alt-right tactic

here is a 8 hour youtube video explaining that

[Eric Cartman]

That Obsidian guy is an idiot. Wonder what Chris Avellone knows but refuses to share due to nda and whatnot.

MS has deep pockets and a shit public inage they are terrified of tarnishing even further?

[Eric Cartman]

All this election postmortem with re-litigation, pointing fingers, macro-analysis of various exit polls data, etc. when in all likelihood, the election was decided based on the price of Doritos.

thats what the deep state wants you to think. DRAIN THE SWAMP. LOCK HER UP. THREE WORD CHANTS.

[Boredfrom]

Didn’t the Obsidian sale to Microsoft happened after he left? I doubt he knows anything beyond “they hired some idiots after I left”.

[AnnoyedCanadian]

He left Obsidian WAY before Microsoft bought them. It was like between 2015 and 2017 I believe. I can't remember what else he worked on from there, but I know he went to work on Dying Light 2 for a bit but when the allegations out they shit canned him.

I'm not allowed to our "traditional" family gathering. Years ago I stood up at the table and volunteered to do the blessing. Short and to the point, I said "Happy "we were on the white side" day. Sat down then ate. 15 other people were silent and just stared at me.

Because "reflecting" is performative horsecrap that does nothing for anyone that isn't yourself. The point of reflecting is to inculcate a sense of moral righteousness; those that want to help, do. Reflecting is the "thoughts and prayers" of activism.

Enough thinking about ERA's retardiness. Time to eat some turkey with the family. Happy Thanksgiving you all.

Telling people they can't enjoy one of the few times of the year they get off of work to do stuff with their families is indeed one of the reasons we lose elections. Their first thought isn't "thank god I can celebrate the pilgrims" it's "I'm looking forward to that pie and I hope my racist uncle doesn't show up I don't wanna talk with him".

One of the actual reason we lose elections is white people's inability to hold their family members accountable for their moral failings.

But sure, blame acknowledging history. That probably feels better.

Overthrowing capitalism starts in the home folks.  Making all your relatives even more miserable on one of the few days off American workers get over shit that happened 400 years ago is the way. 

[HaughtyFrank]

You see white people are inherently racists and rotten  but also shouting at them at Thanksgiving dinner about colonialism and Trump is how they'll see the light

[Gameboy Nostalgia]

This is why we lose elections

Pass the never ever, ever gonna win an election ever again, I mean cranberry sauce please.

It ain't an American holiday if Era isn't shitting on it and people celebrating. Can't wait for Christmas.

I am not trying to shame anyone who decides to honor Thanksgiving.

[D3RANG3D]

Well, well well! It looks like I am going to have a very healthy supply of bitter tears lube, until the forced breeding comes home to roost when project 2025 hits and Mexico and Canada get deported off of my continent, well wishes from me...

Spoiler:  (click to show)(click to hide)

and a Happy Thanksgiving!

[Mediocre Lager]

Thanksgiving was a month and an half ago.

Get your shit together.

In the real world America, not in the places where dragons or whatever may exist...but in Gods country Thanksgiving is today...
