South Park: Fractured But Whole's Difficulty Changes Based on Skin Color

So I'm guessing the darker your skin, the more affirmative action kicks in place...

Didn't read the link, don't care about this game that much.
Just spitballing on south park humor.

After reading the article? They went the other way.

People are used to South Park's humor. I honestly don't think people will care that much either way.

I figure there is a 50-50 shot either way.

The gaming press loves to create controversy for its own sake rather than talk about the quality or lack thereof of the game.

Later in the game, The Fractured but Whole asks you to choose your character's gender. In a conversation with South Park school counsellor Mr Mackey (the "drugs are bad MKAY" guy), you must choose from three options: male, female and other. In previous South Park game A Stick of Truth, you had to play as a boy.

Our Aoife and Chris picked female. Mr Mackey ums and ahs before calling your parents, who reinforce the decision.

It turns out, if you pick a non-male character, Ubisoft will use the conversation with Mr Mackey as a smart retconning of The Stick of Truth.

"So the whole King and Stick of Truth thing, she was actually a girl the entire time?"

Mr Mackey then asks you to clarify exactly what you mean by a girl. You're then asked to select whether you identify as cisgender or transgender.

Aoife and Chris picked transgender, and Mr Mackey once again calls your parents. "It still tracks with The Stick of Truth, yes it does. She was definitely a girl the whole time. Yes of course. I get it."

Don't forget Gender pronouns and mansplaining

They give no fricks. They never have.
