Hysteria around the movement #BlackLivesMatter in the USA every day more and more slides to the bottom of the absurd. Earlier we talked about how the producer and screenwriter of the spin-off series “Law and order” Craig Gore fired for criticizing looters. The festival of hypocrisy is unfolding in the gaming industry, which we also repeatedly mentioned.
Creative Director Can Be a Great Example SIE Santa Monica Studio Corey barlog. Restart architect God of war never hid his sympathies for fighters for social justice and the US Democratic Party, and also supported criticism of the president Donald Trump.
African American death scandal George Floyd (who, as it turned out, was a criminal and was imprisoned for armed robbery) lay down on fertile ground – with all the resulting distortions. In particular, the Barlog criticizes representatives of the White House, which have already ceased to observe precautionary measures because of the pandemic, but are silent about the fact that riots and protests will only aggravate the socio-epidemiological situation in the country.
Barlog’s attention has also attracted published on Twitter videoin which a 37-year-old white gamer declares that he refuses to support game companies (buy consoles and games) that humiliate Caucasians and “want to see him dead.”
“Why the hell am I supposed to give money to pieces of shit that oppose the whites and want to see me dead?” – the man asked, adding that companies support the organizers of the riots and looters disguised as a political movement.
The game designer retweeted the post, accompanied by a provocative commentary that was previously characteristic of the filmmakers “Terminator: Dark Fates, “Charlie’s Angels“and”Ghostbusters“. The principle is this: if you do not share the ideological principles of Barlog, then do not buy his games.
“If you are really furious that we support equality, then goodbye. Nobody will miss you,” wrote Corey Barlog.
Such statements can only harm companies Sony, which is interested in the money of players in a pandemic and preparations for the launch of the console PS5. In addition, the game designer himself can easily become the object of criticism from adherents BLM.
The fact is that the main character of the Barlog games named Kratos is an ancient Greek demigod who was given his votes (and movements) by African American actors Terrence S. Carson and Douglas Christopher Judge. Character nicknamed “Ghost of sparta“since the gods additionally bleached his skin with the ashes left over from burning the bodies of his wife and daughter of the protagonist. Not the most successful starting positions to join the #BlackLivesMatter movement.
