Excerpt (albeit it's a short article)


A graphic for the latest installment of the video game series Far Cry indicates white Christian Americans from Montana will be the antagonists.

“Far Cry 5 will tell the story of a militant Christian cult, if a piece of artwork released today by publisher Ubisoft is any indication,” reports gamer site Polygon.
A shocking promotional illustration features a group of flannel-wearing bearded rednecks sat around a table in poses similar to that of “Jesus’ Last Supper.” (see below)

Far Cry 5 stands out as it’s the first in the series to let gamers mow down Americans (albeit fictitious), not mutants or foreigners.
“Previous Far Cry games have been set in remote locales crawling with fictional villains (and even mutants at one point—how far it’s all come) and were easy to dismiss as pleasantly distant and fully fictional,” PC Gamer notes.
The latest Far Cry follows a growing trend in video games to cast Americans as the enemy, according to The Verge:

“Resident Evil 7 sets its hero against a pseudo-zombified white family in the American bayou, while Outlast 2 draws horror from an American religious cult. Mafia 3 follows Lincoln Clay, a mixed-raced Vietnam vet, who takes revenge on the Italian mob in 1970s Louisiana after the assassination of his father figure, the leader of the black mob. And an episode of Hitman, called “Freedom Fighters,” has the titular killer assassinating targets on a Colorado compound that seemed to take at least some inspiration from the real-world incident in Harney County.”


And then (he starts at 1:09):


In short, it could have been dismissed as just one writer's opinion until Mike Cernovich, a prominent figure for alternative media, condemned Far Cry 5 as part of a wider conspiracy to take down Christianity and western civilization via video games while live on the Alex Jones Show. He even went on to blame George Soros.

I mean wowza. This is great stuff. I'm impressed. I never imagined that after all that they've said about 9/11, Sandy Hook, 3 million illegals voting, and Satanic globalist pedophile guilds that this would be the place where I finally stop and say "Woah woah woah, that's nonsense. What are ya, crazy?"

Soros has nothing to do with this. He needs to lighten up and realize the really fringe fundamentalists in remote areas are dangerous people that don't represent Christians in fact 99.9% of Christians condemn their actions.

From what I've seen from the trailers the bad guys are just gonna be a Personality Cult like thing that uses Christianity as some of fake cover, and there is going to be an actual Christian to either play as, or who has a major part of it.

In other words, until we get some actual stuff...this whole is retarded.

Yes, err, well the author mentions it as another example.

So basically from what I can gather, Infowars is part of the people dealing in victimhood bucks? Shouldn't be surprised though, their idol is Trump - Arguably the most whiny president the US has ever seen.

Yeah it reminds me of the Jack Thompson era. Alex Jones has also hinted at his disdain for video games, often calling it "trendy" as he rants about how he had sex with 150 women when he was 16.

At least despite the hysteria, they don't try to ban the game or vilify anyone who plays it. Live and let live, even if you think my tastes in anime are shite.

There's nothing meaningful to add to a shitty thread made by a desperado who is trying so so hard to spur another dumb SJW vs. Anti-SJW clash with a poorly-researched info wars opinion piece as his only reference.

Americans (in the sense that they represent one of the many stereotypes from red neck christian to rough military dudebro) being the enemy in the main narrative of a game is not a new concept. You killed an American general in Modern Warfare 2 as a British operative. Red Dead Redemption's finale involves you exacting revenge on an American FBI agent. In the Metal Gear Solid games, some of the big bad masterminds are the Americans.

All these clearly anti-American games have existed for years now but none of them have received controversy during their time of release.

Again, there is no recent trend in American enemy games. They've always existed long before SJWs. The fact that you've only taken notice now because of a shitty infowars article shows you're miles up your own ass in this silly anti-sjw vs sjw debate.

@PeenusWeenusCaim - Timeout. You sound paranoid (and mad) as all hell. I occasionally make threads out of amusement. Aside from the cheap pun in the title, it's really just about gauging the hysteria towards video gaming, which this time just happens to come from an alt-lite figure. I like to keep my threads relatively open, however, and don't try to force a specific direction or topic.

I've seen your type before though. You're the kind of user who posts "K w/e...30charlimit..............." to put yourself on a make believe intellectual pedestal. If you want to derail my thread into a degenerate shit storm, you have only yourself to blame. Or is it "blaim", according to your oh so eloquent username?

Well I guess if you can't beat the SJWs, join them (in a manner of speaking). This complaint is obviously horseshit, but hell maybe if the nutbars who constantly complain about sexism/racism in fictional media read this they'll see how ridiculous they look to the rest of us. A character being a villain is not sexist/racist/anti-religion. A character being killllable/killed is not sexist/racist/anti-religion. A character not wearing a shirt is not sexist/racist/anti-religion. A character being insulted in the story by another is not sexist/racist/anti-religion unless the insults are explicitly portrayed as correct by the author. Ect...

Anyways the game actually looks pretty hype. Backwoods American cultists are a specific type of unsettling you can't get anywhere else. Funny how you've got CM Punk as the boss man, and a general set up that looks like the Wyatt family turned up to eleven. Looks much better than Primal.

This is not the reason why I'm not gonna buy this though. I'll wait for the inevitable goty edition, when it's discounted. Also in every entertainment medium, anime, movies, video games, comics or whatever, it's been fairly common that the religious people are the bad guys. I'm used to it.

What an obvious bait from the game developers. I hate this anti-white attitude MSM has adopted as much as anyone else with a brain, but in cases like these it's better to just ignore the game and carry on. They want outrage, they're asking for it so hard. They know that the more people are upset by it, the more headlines the game will make and the more copies anti-white people will purchase as protest.

I saw a bunch of people having an autistic fit over this. It's just more of the toxic victim complex that seems to be infecting everyone these days. Then a day later they show that the good guys are also christian and that one of the cultists in the trailer is black. People were so eager to be angry and stupid.
Seems like Ubisoft purposefully baited for publicity.

Infowars/The Alex Jones Channel is an entertainment youtube channel, similar to Keith Olbermann, i.e. it doesn't qualify to be together with all the other opinion sources like fox, reuters, cnn, etc.

Yes, I said "opinion", not "news". A so-called "news" organisation doesn't exist anymore. Well, maybe C-Span qualifies as news reporting, but that's it.

I remember when Resident Evil 5 came out. There was an uproar because you went around Africa as a Big Buff White Guy and killed African tribesman zombies.

Games are supposed to be fun. I wish people would stop trying to push some sort of agenda. America has a rich history of crazy stuff.

Farcry 5 sounds interesting, but I still got play Primal.

They've been around for a while. Jack Thompson was a lawyer who led the fight against GTA much over a decade ago. It used to be the Christian fundamentalists & Bible Beaters who were trying to regulate all aspects of fun. Just goes to show that thin skinned people need no creed to be.

That's splendid then if they did, albeit I wouldn't have noticed any "controversy" had no one mentioned it. It's just wholly cringe worthy when non-gamers try to analyze video games. ESPN is already ruining sports with politics, I just want gaming and anime to be escapes from that toxicity.

The fuck did you just time-travel from late 90s to 2017 or something? Gaming journalism has already turned your fears into reality, making social and political commentary on niche or extravagant game titles is the norm now; has been for quite awhile. The best way to deal with this is just to ignore it.
For the most part I have. I should probably reword that - I meant to say that I don't want games to be reflections of politics. I.e. play a mission where you have to go beat up a Christian baker who refused to make a cake for a homosexual couple. Or you play as Based Stickman and smack a bunch of protesters until the cops charge you with battery.

Infowars is a loony conspiracy website.Alex Jones might as well change the name of that site to Weekly World News, National Enquirer or some other fake bullshit paper.

Different groups of people in various video games have been portrayed as antagonists. Just in the Far Cry series there are Africans,Indians, Pacific Islanders and others are portrayed as antagonists. So this idea that the creators are attacking Christians is ludicrous.

The way I see it, the game is neither anti-christian nor anti-white. What I figured from the trailer, for the most part, white people (and very likely christian too, since in these areas people tend to be so) are the victims of this antagonist group.
This guy at the trailer who modded the minigun on his plane? Well, he's obviously one of the good guys, white and rural patriotic American through and through, very likely christian as well, and extremely cool on top of it all. So no, this certain group of people isn't being vilified.

And Far Cry has been fair so far. We fought mutants, African Warlords, Pacific islander pirates, crazed Himalayan dictators, why not take a crack at religious nut jobs too?
If you have to complain every time white people are antagonists, you're not better than those dumb SJW's.
