You know, Vee, I don't know what they expected... He is Captain America. His suit is red, white, and blue. His shield is red, white, and blue with a big star on it. He is basically a living, breathing American flag in shield laden human form. Who, on the left, would be so patriotic and hold that kind of reverence for the American flag? The left hates American symbols so much that they actually mistake the Gadsden flag as a 1940's German symbol... If Captain America had been woke, his design would have to be radically changed to reflect that because such a character would never wear anything this patriotic.

These people have a fundamental lack of understanding of what Captain America represents. Sure, he's Murican, but Captain America was never Republican bad or Democrat bad. He represents the best that all of us can aspire to be. He stands up for what he believes is right and will fight anyone he thinks is an enemy of the people. Even if that's the American government. That's why he's such an inspirational figure. It's also why Sam Wilson utterly fails as Captain America, because Disney clearly inserted their own Leftist politics into The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, effectively making Sam Wilson a Captain America that cannot resonate with and inspire everyone, because unlike Steve Rogers, they made Sam Wilson political.

[@andresanguianozuniga6798]

Both Republicans and Democrats forget Captain America is Steve Rogers, and Steve Rogers is an individual. Captain America is a SYMBOL...and Steve Made it matter. But... We will forget how he renouced to the mantle in the 60s and became Nomad or how he rebeled against the government in Civil War? Steve sadly represents a broken dream.... And sometimes THAT to me makes me to admire him, he is a hero, no matter what his flag means...Steve is a hero.

Mastectomy scars were already normal - for cancer victims, who are many times more common than transgenders. Women have suffered mastectomies for various reasons for hundreds of years. The games industry did not care about mastectomies until it was useful for grooming children.

[@toomanyaccounts]

Sims game had it for female characters and that was because breast cancer survivors wanted it in the game to spread awareness. Dragon Age the Wokeism you cannot have those scars for a woman. Hell women don't have breasts or butt in that

[@hugoguerreiro1078]

I've never hear breast cancer survivors asking for chest scars in video games. It's also weird that trans men want a female with chest scars rather than just picking a male character. It's almost like they don't really want to be the opposite gender, they just want to be a special snowflake.

[@DudeSoWin]

The Lich removes its heart to become immortal... its a chest wound.

[@mobbs6426]

And I don't fault the games industry for pretending they didn't exist, presumably until a narrative brought them up, had nothing external come to interfere. I don't imagine cancer patients want their mastectomy scars as an aesthetic choice, and for those that do, a scar customisation system would accomplish the same and provide even more customisation, inclusion, and immersion to the player. Imagine if, instead, there was an entire list of overlays that could be freely positioned anywhere on the body. Weird trans allies could place some curved scars under the pecs, and the rest of us could roleplay as Genzo from One Piece. They could have even included the scars in the list of overlays, and actively pointed it out in the marketing, and we'd have just groaned and moved on. "Urgh! Why do you have to advertise it like that?.. Layering different scars is cool, though. I'm gonna make a shark bite." Instead, it's an actual menu option The system has existed for well over a decade, a near unlimited layering system should be the norm for character creators by now. You finish up, it compresses your scar map into a new texture, so you don't have 150 data points to remember, and jobs a good 'un. Vitiligo is a fine inclusion. Most people ignore that one, but the problem with it is you can't often customise both skin tones. If I can't make my characters skin purple, with yellow vitiligo patches, then where's the freedom? If that offends anyone, grow up. I have a skin condition too, but you don't hear me moaning about eczema inclusion. Never even thought to apply blush and move it to the creases.

I remember this article (and the writer, Amanda "There's no such thing as a false epaR even though the Duke Lacrosse players proved me wrong" Marcotte). Apparently, Steve Rogers/Captain America being against the Sokovia Accords makes him a "Libertarian" in the writer's eyes. However, let's look at who supports the Sokovia Accords... General Thaddeus 'Thunderbolt' Ross - The man whose actions lead to The Abomination, who was a bloodthirsty soldier that he trusted more than The Hulk. The Council - The people that launched a nuclear missile at New York City to kill the Chitauri despite the Avengers being there to fight them and the fact that the nuclear missile would have killed millions of people and cause several problems for the USA. Tony Stark/Iron Man - The man that created Ultron, who murdered Quiksilver and several other people ('Captain America: Civil War' even showed that people died in the crossfire of the battle and Tony outright admits it's his fault that Ultron was created..."...Again, my bad."). Actually, come to think of it. Wouldn't the media consider Tony "I've Successfully Privatized World Peace" Stark to be more of a Libertarian than Cap? There's also the fact that in the 2nd 'Captain America' movie, Steve discovered that HYDRA, which was created by The Red Skull (A Big Fat Nutzee) infiltrated SHIELD and many branches of USA government. So in other words, several of the people that support the Sokovia Accords are people that have caused a lot of trouble and Cap has seen his own nation's government be infiltrated by the same group of people he fought in WW2. Captain America has several reasons to be against the Sokovia Accords and if the media thinks that makes him a "Libertarian" then they're unintentionally giving great argument IN FAVOR of someone being a Libertarian.

If Captain America was real, his politics would probably roughly align with some of Tom Lehrer's statements about more modern politics (from around the 1980s) which basically comes down to a mix of 'you aren't actually arguing politics but rather which cult to belong to' to 'its a complex issue where I can see both sides,' to 'what the fuck are you even debating about'. Also, the author seems to have no idea what the New Deal Democrats were about. Aside from trying to institute comminism, they hate everything FDR did.

[@Anyone00TZ]

If Captain America was a 1940s New Deal Democrat he maybe considered to the left on economic issues but he would make the most ardent Evangelical religious right member in the current day seem downright libertine.

[@FrostbiteDigital]

Wasn't Captain America always characterized as a staunch libertarian? Or at least a guy who vouches for Classical Liberty? He literally grew up in early 20th century America and was a part of the Greatest Generation. What did these jounos expect?

[@lonexon]

They were so stupid that they didn't even consider the possibility of not touching the skin colour of the existing characters. It is funny to see how the same people who supported rational "cosplay doesn't have a skin color" think that it does in this case. Or is the idea now forgotten and they moved on?

[@Lastjustice]

Captain America never been big government which is a heavily left wing thing. He regularly tells the government where to get off when it crosses too many lines. (Like Civil War.) He definitely is more right leaning in his stances than leftwing, and that kind of goes with the territory though he isn't some neocon. Democrats are so used to being pandered to, so this angers them when something isn't being filtered thru their lens.

Their coffers are very deep, and since many still buy the game with this BS, it's going to quite a while before they stop unless gamers make a much more directed Bud Light attack on the game studios putting out this trash.

I don’t want to be the bearer of bad news, but GG showed they came for games first because the gamer lacks a spine. Xbox or Sony… why not just PC or Nintendo? They lack the ability to say no.

Having Kuktain America be a lolbert actually makes the most sense. When I was a teenager and actually cared about "America" I was.

[@stillcantbesilencedevennow]

It's a fine place, last of the bastions of reason and sanity. It's just that we have hit the point where it's been perverted. I call it "cultural fecundity". An idea, IP, company, product, natuon whatever exists for so long that it moves away from It's roots and ideals via its "controllers" losing the basis that made it be required to begin with. Everything rots and moulders. Thank you for coming to my TedTalk.

[@vgamedude9811]

​@stillcantbesilencedevennow I became disenfranchised with lolberts for a lot of reasons but for one they have no desire in general to push back against societal mass decay, or forced d3m0graphic shifts because they don't want to be seen as stepping on anyone's toes. I can see a world where elements of libertarianism works (like limiting government size to a degree since historically government was always smaller than in modernity in almost all cases) but on the whole I'm no longer married to many of the ideas or moral presumptions.

[@stillcantbesilencedevennow]

@vgamedude9811 whilst I agree ostensibly we have to be better than that, and welcome in those of any background or political affiliation when they finally see the light that is "governments suck, we need better leadership". It's just hard to get a concensus. It's hard when one examines any particular group in depth. I hope for everyone to suddenly wake up and demand better one day, but they rarely do. It requires great sacrifice and onstinance. I forgive them for their idiocy, but not their weakness. Same for the libertarians. Some good, some bad, most ignorant.

[@stillcantbesilencedevennow]

@vgamedude9811 note how my post got censured. :/ ssdd for my life on YT. Do I speak too much truth, or is it too much "misinformation"?

[@vgamedude9811]

@@stillcantbesilencedevennow see that's why I disagree. I think people and backgrounds that have existed for thousands of years matter more than just accepting one generation of people who accept some form of "libertarianism" when it doesn't even take into account many generations in the future.
