@towersixteen: the subject is Africa, so yes it'll be the dumbest thing ever. somewhere between the ritual murder of albinos and the tire burnings of people accused of witchcraft and voodoo.
Oh, the article talking about assassin's creed 4 and haitian slavery neglects to mention the source of black slaves, that is black and arab slavers, that more black slaves were shipped to brazi than to the US or the West Indiesl and that voodoo (and witchcraft in general) is distinctly african.
C'mon patrick, if you're going to write spread leftist feel goods about race in video games do some further research than having a black guy write it for you. The guy is obviously so distant from the slavery in haiti that he should focus more on Papa and baby Doc duvalier than on human chattel.
E: and of course, zero mention that slavery (of the sex abuse and field work) still goes on in haiti.
An academic study on a topic that people don't find interesting uses a lot of money. This isn't news and happens all the time. As for the claim that she didn't make any of the videos herself, that's also partially excusable because it happens in news casts, period pieces, and especially anytime of youtube news channel like the Young Turks, daily show, and the like.
AT BEST, you have someone using clips without permission and not citing sources. if this were for a college thesis, it could be plagiarism. the problem is that the source itself is also problematic; none of these let's plays have asked the copyright holder if they can record the material. That mario company has been filling copyright claims for videos of people playing their games.
There are problems with 3rd wave feminism but these are mostly internal struggles within the ideology such as the rights of biological women being overshadowed by Men with transgendered identities. But the hate for this person and her project is just nonsense and totally unnecessary.
This is why government subsidies fail for industries outside of essential resources like energy, food and mining/oil/whatever. I hope 38 studios does close down and that the detail of the audit are made public. this is like solyndra for vidya games.
