  • Unfortunate Implications: All South Americans are portrayed as irredeemably evil savages who want nothing more than to destroy all North Americans. It even goes so far as to have them use tribal torture to brainwash loyal American soldiers into evil degenerates. Even the civilians are casually murdered by the Ghosts as if they weren't actual people. Literally all of the protagonists are burly white dudes with the exception of a single member of the Ghosts unit who inevitably dies after about two lines. It honestly feels like a propaganda film from the Cold War.

I pulled the above from the YMMV page due to no citations being available. If this item is appropriate and wanted for the page, perhaps a good citation can be found? Unfortunate Implications requires citations for listing on work articles and the UI page itself.

Not even a little. Yahtzee's issue is more that it's a stupid plot point, not that it's an offensive one. The "burly white dude" bit can go in with some rewording, though.

Found a Youtube Channel with political stances you want to share? Hop on over to this page and add them.

Okay, I'm just going to cut it down to that bit. How's this:

  • Unfortunate Implications: As Ben Croshaw pointed out, all of the protagonists are burly white men, bar three characters; a female astronaut who dies within minutes of her introduction, a nameless female helicopter pilot, and Ajax, the Token Minority who dies after about two lines, and nobody seems very concerned when he does. All the other minorities are villains, and unsympathetic ones at that.

I apologize for getting back to this so late, but I asked in the Ask the Tropers section for input on your submission, bravo.

Well, it's been a week with no reply, so I'm just going to edit it back on if that's okay?

That's fine. Sorry for things being super-slow though. Perhaps in TVT 2.0, discussion pages will be easier to follow (and not be as slow).
