I think he's spoofing Die Hard 3, where the main character has to walk around a black neighborhood while wearing that sign.
I'm sorry to say, that's how Yahtzee rolls. I thought most people had accepted it by now.Giantpanda602 said:
That's the magic of the Escapist for you. Yahtzee can do as he pleases... As long as its entertaining.
Indeed, but I think the point of shock still remains despite it being a rather obvious reference.xHipaboo420x said:
I mean, that's something you just don't see often in jest.
I see the word 'niggers' quite a lot.Zachary Amaranth said:
I see it as up there with '******' and 'feminazi' in that it carries no offence unless incurred with malice.
I guess it all depends on one's own experience with the word.
Regardless, the point is that it's kind of lost its blunt-force impact to me these days.
People expect this of Yahtzee, and they go into his videos prepared, or don't go in at all.
On the other hand, trying to say that sort of stuff in the forums would put you on the receiving end of a banhammer in less time than it takes to... well, certainly very quickly.

thats the thing ive found most weird about this site tbf, the videos and content in theory cannot be discussed completely as there would be banhammers flying all over the place(extra credists on piracy), were forced into a situation of nodding blankly and keeping our thoughts internal when our opinion or rather the expression of our opinion will land peeps in mod hot water.
This site is draconian with regard free speech but it is probably for the best as im sure none of us need reminding we are on the interwebs and anyone whos ever seen a random flame war occur on a you tube clip can attest, people cant be trusted unmodded.

Its totally a die hard 3 reference but even if it wasnt i wouldnt be surprised, he has said and shown worse things.
He's gotten away with threatening to skull fuck viewers (With a colorful animation to go with it).
I see no problem with this. His videos are widely accepted as jokes.
Compare this with how this type of thing usually presents its self in the forums, and you can see why the mods are a bit itchy about it.

If you look closely at what Yahtzee is doing is he's pointing out that one glaringly obvious fact. You can see the character supposed to be Nathan Drake wearing that sign while Yahtzee's avatar standing off to the side pointing at him, looking in another direction as if saying to someone else "Do you see this too, or is it just me?"Zachary Amaranth said:
It's all abut context. You are allowed to say the word "******" as long as you aren't actually calling someone it or actually espousing your hatred of black people. Notice that in the video it wasn't Yahtzee saying it. It was just part of a charicachure of the character he was making fun of.
Even if he did say it himself it would most likely get a pass as long as it was satirical or a quote (like how I used it).
Also, Die Hard 3.

Meh, Yahtzee can do as he pleases. Personally I don't say n****** for the simple fact that even if I'm not calling someone it, I still feel uncomfortable saying the word. Yahtzee on the other hand is pretty much just making a point and as people have said, Die Hard 3.
