Context: Violet is a character in Valve’s MOBA game called Deadlock. There’s apparently been a lot of racism surrounding her. Anyway this chud decides to respond to someone venting about the racism around her with this incredibly racist shit.

    Like half the cast of deadlock is either cute girls or cute lil creatures, who the hell does he think he’s fooling with “i just don’t like cute characters” lmao

    edit: just wanted to tally this up. there are currently 44 characters in deadlock. we have:

    Apollo: cute boy who literally would be at home in an anime

    Baba: Cute lil old lady

    Billy: Cute wacky goat dude who would be at home in an anime

    Celeste: Cute magic girl

    Graves: Cute girl who would be at home in an anime

    Holliday: Cute girl

    Ivy: Utterly adorable lil gremlin

    Mina: Cute vampire girl who would be at home in an anime

    Paige: Cute girl

    Pocket: Cute enby

    Rat King: big ugly ass cute rat dude

    Rem: Literally a little round fluffy ball of cute

    Viscous: A big round bouncy ball of cute

    Vyper: Cute gremlin monster

    Even before Violet like 30% of the characters in the game were either cute lil guys or cute young ladies like this person is complaining about

      Knockout (or Knockout.chat in some cases). This post isn’t really focused on the forum but rather this chud poster with his horrible takes.

      But tl:dr on knockout is that it’s a self-proclaimed leftist website that is Amerikan/western dominated that does not like disrespecting the US troops(because there are actual imperial soldiers that are regulars in there) and are incredibly racist against Asians, mainly China but ESPECIALLY DPRK. (and yes, pro-NATO, pro-Ukraine)

    So I don’t play Deadlock, but I looked up the character in question and… she’s not really cutesy or anime. Like, given his description I thought it was going to be vtuber model territory, but it’s just an Asian character stylized around the game’s aesthetics.

    So yeah, this dude is pure hitler-detector

      Yeah the character in question is quite literally just an Asian woman.

      I also wouldnt call the artstyle Anime coming from someone who has watched a lot of anime.

      This character is imho super inoffensive.

    Mods were content to just let the other posters pile on him for being racist until he says “if I really were being racist the mods would stop me”. There’s probably a lesson somewhere in there.

  • Racist on a racist slop board. That’s gotta be a new one. I mean good for the people calling him out I guess but that board is just cringe and yikes and I’d rather not know people being on there unironically.

    Then again I don’t judge you too harshly for retained friends. I still got some that I would not get to know closer now for their imperialist views.

      There’s anarchists in the forum too, though who are still pro-NATO and pro-Ukraine too somehow…

      Other than that, I mostly lurk for aggregator links as I deleted my account after posting a documentary (Loyal Citizens of Pyongyang) and was met with hardcore chauvinistic racism and justification for imperialism (because USAID is good and China and DPRK are evil!!!). Occasionally I look at other threads and see shit like this…

          haha, I didn’t do that to provoke. I genuinely thought they were, as they claimed themselves; leftists. Which is why I shared this.

          But it came to such a shock when I posted it to be met with so much chauvinistic racism and justifying the genocide that Amerika enacted on Korea during the war that I was simply far too disgusted, not to mention the severe dogpiling of berating insults. I was banned for “whataboutism” and the commenters were calling people of the global south “bots”.

    The only barely a complaint i have is she feels mildly uninspired as a character, but i have that for solomon too. Art student and chess hustler compared to magic giant rat, skeleton with a jetpack, magic mech grandma and tf2 medics mom just aint the same.

    I also realize the 12yr old boy in my soul really only cares about the skeleton with a jetpack
