First person shooter game modeled after Call of Duty but set in Chicago (Chiraq). Apparently liberals aren’t happy about its depiction of black urban culture, and are calling it, ahem, racist. Here’s a little commentary video that includes the trailer for the game. Caution: lots of use of the “n” word in the game.



It’s going viral, but many don’t think it should even exist.

Hood Warfare 2 has become the latest viral video game, and the internet agrees that it is overtly racist.

A company called Trapstar Games has released a new multiplayer shooter called Hood Warfare 2. The game fancies itself as a Call of Duty clone. However, the game takes place in the streets of Chicago and puts players in the middle of a gang war.


quote:

Kill streaks like UAVs are replaced with snitches who spot enemies on the map. Meanwhile, air bombers are replaced with drive-by shootings. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to come to the conclusion that this is being done in poor taste. The game is profiting off of real-life violence in Chicago, and is making a mockery of those who have died.


quote:

Even the vocal lines and gun names are played off as one big stereotype. It's played off as one big joke, and while the game has gone viral, its popularity is for all the wrong reasons.


Seems kinda strange to me that this outrage is only taking place with the release of Hood Warfare 2. Where was it for the original Hood Warfare, which was released in January, 2023?

Not fixing the fricking problems is making a mockery of those who have died.

The game is just highlighting the stupidity involved.

The snitch killstreak functioning as a UAV is objectively hilarious

yet we are ok with tv shows and other pop culture painting everyone in the south as a rebel-flag flying gun-totin' KKK member.

because white people aren't fragile. we just laugh, roll our eyes and move on.

anyone complaining about this is either:

A) lilly white liberals who have never been outside of their gated neighborhood bubbles and want to ignore this is reality.

B) angry vocal black women who know it's reality and are in many ways complicit with said reality, just don't want any possible negative light shined on it.
