Why the outrage?

[Sir Tontonolous]

I don't really understand the bashing of this game from the right. It's pretty clear that the two siblings are the baddies. Since when did the protagonist ever talk so much? Honestly, I'd rather the cliche writing be criticized, as it's pretty bad.

However, I may be seeing this from the wrong perspective. As someone that's typically anti sjw, I feel that as of now, my side is incorrect about a lot of assumptions, but I may be wrong. I consider myself pretty open minded, and I welcome others to change my mind on the matter. (Believe me, considering I'm on your side 99.9% of the time, I WANT to!)

It's the vidoegame industry. People will bash anything they can because they like to get angery.
I'm more concerned about the eyebrow-raising similarity to Rage 2...

It is quite similar, yeah. Difference being Rage 2 looks leagues more fun. But hell, that's just the ID fanboy talking in me.

I wonder why they didn't stuck with Joseph as the main antagonist of the game, it certainly would have reinforced the storyline after the events of FC5, though considering its 17 years after FC5 and apparently he has no longer control of the supposed "plan" he had I guess the best option is to bring new characters to the table, though I seriously hope they continue his story, It was what many I believe were attracted to the game apart from the gameplay.

Well, the trailer has a few seconds of him realizing "Oh shizzle, this plan was a bad idea." Thus, he's most likely your ally, if not the person you play as. It is possible you play as the same person from FC5, and the Father kinda let you loose to reenact the flood, starring you as the water.

Because instead of having a large mix of male and female lead roles over the years Ubisoft have made stupid reasons like (it's to expensive to make new animations for a female) or give us a option for Female or Male (again half done because in Far Cry 5 people in game refered to you as a Male even if you chose Female)

There only AAA title with a Female only lead was Beyond Good and Evil that's a fact,
add all that up and either there not intrested in female leads or are trying to score woke points,
logic not intrested but people seem to think woke.

They are throwing shade at this because they are brainwashed by the media. I understand the hate that Battlefield V received because of it's obvious force fed PC historical inaccuracies. But, hating on this game is a different story because it's not based on a important real-world event. It's based off a made-up futuristic post-apocalyptic world.

To the haters. You've been brainwashed. Not everything is hate against white males. Believe it or not, sometimes characters are black, white, cuban, or asian. Sometimes characters aren't even human. Did you get mad when that game Okami came out and say, "PETA is pushing their canine political agenda!". Grow up.

And now make the cover 2 white dues with weapons facing a semi naked black chick tied to a rock....then revist your post.

...this is making a little more sense now.

Still, it's in a fictional universe, at least. They're not disgracing history at least.

I totally understand what you're saying I just think you're responding out of brainwashed emotions. Think about it... it doesn't matter who half-naked person you tie up and torture because no matter what someone will get triggered. If they did what you said then ppl would hate because of past slavery. If you make it two asians tieing up a hispanic then someone else would feel offended.

Point is, someone was going to be tied up and tortured. This time the person getting restrained and tortured was a white man and it triggered you and the other haters. I hardly think every tortured black character represents past slavery and I don't think every white male being tortured represents white hate. You don't even know the storyline yet behind the cover. These girls could have caught a rapist? Or maybe the girls are evil? ...I dunno. I think they chose two vibrant girls that live in a vibrant world who are torturing a dude who looks like he came out of Far Cry 5 (which could be the case because this is the future of Far Cry 5).

Stop relating everything to race and gender because if you haven't noticed every movie, game, and song features someone of a race and a gender. Sometimes white males, sometimes black females, etc. Either way, you got triggered because the media made you believe that everything is about race, gender, and white hate. Stop buying into the fake news (it goes both ways) and just play the game with me when it comes out.

Well actually technically its still the same, it could be meaningless or it could be an agenda gone rabid... It all depends on the triggered customers..

If a black chick was tied down by two white men its as normal as two black women tying down a white dude.. Seriously its just all these insane countries obsessed with racism that make it anything else..

People doing nasty ♥♥♥♥ to others can be of any race or color.. Its what the racists deem of it that changes anything..

As I said in another post (where I'm currently being blasted and accused of being a racist sexist bigot):

It's not racism or sexism. It's two central villanious figures who happen to be women, and happen to be black, about to murder a presumably innocent man, who happens to be white, for not going along with their agenda. Too much is being read into this. You instead should be focusing on how unique and refteshing it is to see a company that isn't afraid to depict two black women as the villains after a long trend of having the villains be white males.

Yes but the rabid masses have been indoctrinated from birth to think the opposite, trying to remove that programming is almost impossible.

Nope, people are getting tired of political agendas of any kind in their games. They just want to have entertainment and escape from everyday political circus.
