Did you know the protagonist of Flintlock used to be white?

"When COO (and Casting Director) Andrea Topps Harjo joined the studio, her first actions were to hire Sweet Baby Inc., and change the main character to a PoC."

I hope this information assists in your purchasing decision!

while i can totally believe this, people are going to start screaming for your source link.

The same goes for Shadow Gambit. The protagonist was going to be a red-haired white woman and thanks to Sweet Baby they changed it to a PoC.

The developers themselves confirmed this, they didn't even care to hide it.

I miss years ago when people at least tried to judge by character and not openly judging by the color chart held against the skin like this and using all these terms to divide and conquer the ordinary masses.

I never understood the "PoC" term and what it means or where it came from. Does it just mean everyone except '"pure" Europeans and Jews'? Do they think that those people really have no color in their skin like they were all made of completely transparent glass or the air in front of us? I mean does that mean that if a non-European has "too light" a shade then they don't count? I mean people outside of European groups can have lighter colored skin. You can even find pictures of albino Africans, do they fail the color chart test for this? It shows how silly it gets when people throw around terms like "PoC" seriously, as some do.

Literally zero people I've never known when Blade was in cinema was saying "Good movie, but they should have lightened him up a shade or two". NO ONE! All we wanted was good entertainment we could pay for, not checkboxes or quotas.

His source is Grummz.

Grummz is pretty much an angry incel king these days.

He used to be interesting because he'd give nuanced opinions that only someone like an experienced developer would have on the industry.

Now he just hate farms the other incels, because it brings him attention.

What this does, though, is really hurt his credibility. He's been caught lying a few times now about various issues that are linked to DEI hate or whatever you'd want to call it. I'd take what he posts with a grain of salt, unless it's an actual opinion of his.

Nobody worth a cent that's still working in the industry would use him as a way to leak inside information. There are way more credible people out there, with a way bigger reach, that will gladly take up stories like what he posted in that Tweet-thread.

Blade is, and was, black in the comic books.

That's bs. You mean to say there are people without color? They are invisible or something? It's not even proper English. Except if Color is the name of the country they come from.

Dude. It’s semantics. White people are not literally white.

"Semantics" still need to make sense. This does not. Nothing the woke make up ever does and I will call out people who blindly copy this crap. They are trying to corrupt language itself by inserting their bs into it.
