@Sam_Loser2 Of course all jokes will be offensive. There’ll always be snowflakes. However, there are jokes that were created for the sole purpose of bringing down other groups of people, and I’m assuming that was the case for this terrible joke.
@PunkRx_Lockly
Just looking up the name of the movie, here’s the synopsis: “Ip Man and his son encounter racial discrimination after traveling to the United States to seek a better life.”
Yeah. It seems like that was the premise of the movie.
When I look at the Wikipedia page, it says that it takes place in 1964.
It was set during the civil rights era.
Having white men be hateful in that movie is historically accurate, so your criticism is a little strange.
@ChaosBadger777
Savino most likely was referring to America, where historically and today, people of lighter skin tones have been more likely to have been treated better by institutions and such. I’d imagine that he would speak to Europe’s issues if he was from a European country.
3 years for having CP? He should have the death penalty, but that’s just me.
@Andy_Witmyer
Uuuh...yeah! He was working with the deep state and the ghost of Karl Marx to hack into the servers. He gave Harris some votes, and helped the deep state plant, Bill Barr, lie to the public! Thanks for uncovering this conspiracy. 😎
@Chowdaire A great man once said: “After reading these comments, the dumbest take (and there are a lot of dumb ones) has to be ‘Well, serves them right for playing a game that I don't like anymore!’”
@JRR92 For this example, the white people are more qualified, and the black dude isn’t. Why is that? Probably because black people are more likely to be less educated, so it’s an education problem.
But why are black people less educated? Because of bad neighborhoods.
But why....Yeah, you see where I’m going. The reality is, these problems are very complex, and it comes down to more than who’s qualified and who isn’t, but I understand your point wholeheartedly.
But seriously though, smash needs that sweet sweet regulation or we’re going to get another ZeRo.
@JustMe The point of a company is to make money, first and foremost. What the tourney organizers did wasn’t taking money from Nintendo, so that’s not really a problem.
The fact that they were willing to bring a “dead” game back up and give it online functionality means that people are willing to still play a “dead” game. Nintendo should’ve called the guys who made slippi to make a full game, so that the Melee lovers get their game, and Nintendo gets more money.
Nintendo was just being like Disney, and I don’t want to see one of my favorite companies become like them.

@Kidfunkadelic83
Yeah. This all gets confusing if you want to dig deep into it.
@johnvboy
Unconscious bias would probably be for the people who already are racist, and there’s not much we can do about that.
Re: Monster Hunter Movie's Chinese Premiere Reportedly Cancelled Due To Racist Joke
Granted, someone could be racist without even knowing it.
Re: Monster Hunter Movie's Chinese Premiere Reportedly Cancelled Due To Racist Joke
@johnvboy
I mean, racism isn’t dependent on the reaction of the targeted group, but rather, the intent of the aggressor.

Just my observations though.

So far, diversity (in other fields) has worked pretty well imo. It allowed for us to have differing thoughts.
But yeah, we need the right people in charge.
Re: Soapbox: If The Smash Community Wants To #SaveSmash, It Needs To Start From Within
@BarryandWill but I do see what your saying. Saying the joke was funny can be a bit tacky.
Re: Soapbox: If The Smash Community Wants To #SaveSmash, It Needs To Start From Within
@BarryandWill
Nah. I was just saying that I found it funny despite having a real dark tone. Humor is subjective.
Re: Soapbox: If The Smash Community Wants To #SaveSmash, It Needs To Start From Within
@JRRR92
LOL. diversity is what makes us human. While I hate putting someone in bc of being whatever is dumb, diversity is certainly not dumb.
That said, we need to regulate smash. Not start hiring minorities in places of power in the name of progressivism.
