She's talking about the (NLDR: dumbass) defensiveness of the developers when people called it out. Yup, they removed #SlaveTetris component & kept the rest of the stupid game. #scms21 #scmsM22 (clearly I have no strong feelings about this game
)

I love how she called out the developers' defensiveness as

@dorothyk98!


LOVE that you said that removing the #SlaveTetris part didn't do a damn thing since it was "just the tip of the white supremacist iceberg" in the whole#PlayingHistorySlaveTrade game. YES, it trains the player to be a good little collabo in anti-Blackness!1 reply 0 retweets 0 likesShow this thread -
I really do hate this hellish game. As she knows, there were no Black developers or consultants on this team.

I ended up working thru all three history games. It is all a hot mess terrible and white supremacist.

wow. yeah, the experience of *playing* - that is, being made to participate in a story, move it along, is so different than passively taking it in. It's a weird cognitive mind-scramble, inherent to the genre/medium of games. Glad you broke it down for people. How was response?

The Danish vision of white historical innocence is so horrific.

The Danes really like to pretend that their colonial terrible awful “we enslaved so many ppl” history is not a thing at all...

& then the Mr. T dialogue. So it’s not just that they have amnesia or denial about their own past… But that they’re totally racist on top of it! It is astounding that they asserted that the game was a good thing.
