Don't misquote me. I said this: "As a Brit, I'm trying to maintain an even-handed approach. If they were Americans being slaughtered, I would probably already be praising it as my game of the decade, so, because hypocrisy is my number one hatred, I need to cool my jets, and accept what appears to be going on. Anyway, being surrounded by Brits, I hate them as much as the anyone."DRes82 said:Jesus H...five pages of whining about the historical inaccuracy of a video game trailer. If you're british and this really pisses you off, you need to do some serious thinking about what you put effort towards. If you're american and you're pandering to the whiners by saying, 'i'm american and i know why you would blah blah blah', you need a damned face punch and a lesson in not being pressured by a crowd.
Are you fucking kidding me? This kind of sociopathic bullshit is ridiculous! You would praise a game for 'slaughtering' a specific demographic? Right, and I'm sure that you're well balanced and have a girlfriend and don't live in your mother's basement.The Cheezy One said:As a Brit, I'm trying to maintain an even-handed approach.

This kind of a ass backward nonsense from a video game trailer. This, British escapists, is what should be angering you. Not some lamely written line in a two minute trailer.
1: Yes, I was 'Fucking kidding you'. I. Was. Joking. Obviously slaughter based on a demographic is not a good thing, but this is gaming, and unless you are a 'videogame violence' hysterical, there is no correlation between gaming and real world violence with mature adults. I myself turned 20 last week, and have no criminal record whatsoever. So presumably, I'm not going to grab a hammer and take it to a randomer on the street, or specifically hunt down a certain demographic. Although if I did, it would be people that made outrageously agressive comments on the internet, but that might take a while.
2: Would you say the same thing if I was talking about Nazis? Or aliens? No. So stop quoting me out of context and acting as if it proves some kind of self-made point. I was not saying anything about a minority, or inciting any kind of persecution. What I was saying was that I would be reasonable in this discussion, and that while I am a hypocrit by nature, I will work on this to be more accepting of other people's arguments. I am so glad you decided to meet me half way.
3: What was that about being well-balanced, having a girlfriend and living in my mothers basement? Those are stereotypes, and arguments stand up far better without them. And how does where I live affect what my attitude in gaming should be? Anyway, I live with friends in Scotland, where I am going to uni. So your comment doesn't actually apply. My mother doesn't actually have a basement. There were coal mines near where she lives, and the ground is unstable below a certain depth.
