I played destiny 1 to death. Loved that game and the expansions were all great quality and genuinely made the game better.
Destiny 2 came out and i felt like it was over. I gave it a good go but the fun was just not there. The worlds were boring, the level or RPG from the outset was way too high. The problem they had was resetting the progress of players who had the first game down toa science and then dropping you in to a new game which is immediately massively convoluted with relic this, augment that, skill tree this, weapon mod that. It was too complex and gave me anxiety trying to work out what the best loadout was and then everything i spent time working out was null and void cone the next expansion.
Destiny 1 was amazing. Destiny 2 was a dumpster fire.
Similar thing happened to overwatch. 1 was addictive and rewarding. 2 was a cashgrab and not even close to what was promised.
Stating the race isn’t racist, no. But there was also no need to state their race. Does the fact that they were pakistani have any impact on the fact that they raped somebody? Or does it just associate rape with brown people? This appeals to racists and inflames their beliefs that other races are bad. They dont write “two white men” when its two white men, do they?
So yeah, In isolation, it is absolutely not racist. But given all the existing context, and the push to cause division and hatred to distract us from whats going on upstairs, this is absolutely racist.
