Satirical ‘South Park’ Video Game Links Difficulty Level To Race

The upcoming South Park video game is taking difficulty levels to a whole new tier by incorporating it into the player character’s skin tone.

In most video games, sex and gender do not affect gameplay in the slightest, and appearances — such as skin tone — are purely aesthetic. This isn’t the case with “The Fractured But Whole.”

In what appears to be a hilarious take on the progressive belief that dark-complexioned people go through life that much harder than their fairer-skinned counterparts, players who opt to play the game at harder difficulty levels will have darker skinned characters.

Ridiculous.

The real people who make life difficult for minorities is their parents.

“Having left South Park ages ago because of their racism, homophobia, transphobia and other failures at being good comedy

This is the funniest comment in the article - the notion that any leftist would know or understand good comedy is, in itself, pure comedy gold. The only left-wing reaction to any comedy is "that's hurtful, you bigot!".

The author appears to be of the snowflake crowd that wants to live in a socio-cultural bubble.

Without mirrors.

If they really wanted to be reflective of reality, players would choose their level of “oppression” and they’d win the hardest levels just for being in a protected class. The only ones who would be able to play all levels exactly as they are would be white males with asian males running a very close second. Substance abusing, transsexual black lesbian amputees with AIDS would “win” without even playing the game.

“sex and gender”?

Well, first, there is no “gender” for humans and even if it actually WAS synonym to “sex”, then you’re being redundant!

And they get 200 points added to their test scores if they’re dark skinned, plus free tuition at college.

It is funny whether you agree or not. But I can’t imagine anyone would really think blacks have it easier, in spite of the occasional helping hand they get with affirmative action.

Well it’s accurate...Blacks have it much easier getting into colleges and jobs. Why not games?
