As usual with EA/ Bioware, there are many problems. Both are thick with sjw-types besides this pinhead.
In addition to the race issue, there is a sexism issue, with the female characters made noticeably less actractive than the real life people used as models. The male models looked exactly like their real counterparts. It’s said that the women were adjusted to appease feminists who complained about previous sexy characters.
The Bioware studio assigned to make this game aren’t really Bioware of old, they’re another studio renamed BioWare Montreal, who developed the multi-player portion of ME3. They’ve never produced a full game. Their team are mostly inexperienced, which may explain some of the quality problems.
The point is that while some aspects of this installment of ME look great; this is a trouble game, made by a troubled studio, under the thumb of a rotten producer in EA.
Andromeda, mass effect, racist = (super massive) black hole
a black game programmer? That’s like finding the bigfoot. I’m going to take his photo and send it in to the Enquierer. I’m rich
If that guy holding the “White Tears” cup at the top is Manveer Heir, then he is as Caucasian as those he hate-tweeted about. While the term “white” typically refers to Europeans, there are many other Caucasian ethnic groups throughout North Africa, the Middle East, and Asia.
He’s almost certainly a Muslim—meaning that the difference between him and the people he hates on is religious, not racial.
I say this because it is annoying and incorrect to conflate race with religion. There are only four races; there are hundreds (at least) of religions. And there is no connection between the two.
Anyway, I am glad the game company fired him. Employers have no obligation to keep racist and religionist employees on staff. I hope Manveer’s religionist hatred makes it hard for him to find any other position, as well.
The sad thing about this whole episode is that people who reject the game will be mostly the ones doing it because the animations are so horribly bad, not because of their political agenda put in the game. It is sickening how the left politicizes everything they touch. Sad too...I always liked the series. Alas.
Is there anything SJWism can’t ruin? I guess not.
