Ghost Leviathan posted:The Warriors iirc are kinda mixed, their original leader who gets killed at the start being black (and the Rockstar game basically makes him the protagonist for most of it, which uses the movie's events as a finale) and their outfits and symbology are vaguely Native American. They are. Cleon, Snow and Cochise are black and Rembrandt is Hispanic. And I'm not particularly concerned about a movie from the arse end of the 70s whitewashing street gangs, y'know? There's also an extended cut out there somewhere - not the director's cut - which expands Cleon's role by adding a scene with his girlfriend and another where he's gathering the delegation that explain his motives for wanting to go.

I think the thread it's part of is pretty spot-on. Well poo poo, if you want to go further back with that, look at the various Ice rappers. Ice Cube has done how many family comedies? Ice T is all over the place, Vanilla Ice flips homes (though I think there was a controversy about that? Someone suing him over something? I can't recall)

Rapper's Delight has an entire verse that's all about being afraid you're going to offend your buddy by not eating his mom's yucky food, and it was poo poo like this that terrified WASPs across the United States

Rapper's Delight definitely belongs in this thread for that.

disco was nonwhite and also gay and that's why it had to be publicly hated and destroyed as an American national pastime for decades after it was actually relevant

Also, it sure is funny that they willingly returned to Bethesda if Bethesda had indeed hosed them over. Like they literally pulled the 'Oh no we're bankrupt sorry we can't honor any contracts with you, not even to do years of work that you paid us to do. Oh by the way we sold everything to a studio ran by Bethesda that every single one of us is coincidentally joining. Seeya, suckers!' scam. Implies that they were, in fact, the original issue. Also, HHS never made even a remotely good game since Prey (2006) and definitely never put out anything that was near the quality of the supposed game in the Prey 2 trailer.

I actually don't have a clue why Bethesda would take them back. I'm not aware of them trying to scam Bethesda though, just being incompetent. But well... Wikipedia posted:On November 13, 2019, the studio announced its closure, immediately after the release of Rune 2. The whole team subsequently formed a new studio, Roundhouse Studios, under Bethesda Softworks. Chris Rhinehart of Human Head/Roundhouse stated that "Sadly, we had to wind down the business of Human Head Studios and close its doors", but had been able to reach out to Bethesda to establish this new studio." 'Subsequently' being 'literally the same day'. Article on it posted:“We reached out to our friends at Bethesda for help, and they saw that same creativity and passion in our team. With the formation of Roundhouse Studios, Bethesda offered every employee of Human Head a position at the new company. Article on them being sued posted:For a bit of background, Human Head Studios had been developing Rune 2 for years, with Ragnarok slated to publish it. Their partnership grew shaky right before the game launched on Nov. 12 on the Epic Games Store. Human Head had become unresponsive, and five days before launch, it informed Ragnarok that it was shutting down, forcing the publisher to shoulder any post-launch development and support. They did eventually return the code, like a year later. So they just happened to have a company waiting for HHS staff on the exact same day HHS closed... the day after they tossed out Rune 2, which was a pile of poo poo, and left the publishers holding the bag. Apparently they had been secretly working on a game as well (online comic book-based 3v3 3rd person shooter) when they pulled their scam and are currently making it for Bethesda. moonmazed posted:why do you have this weird vendetta Sorry for being able to do basic Google research.

This is literally playing out online with the Sandman show that just got released (it did make some mostly cosmetic changes, but culture warrior types are also pointing at the parts lifted directly from the comic and yelling about how they ruined it to push their agendas.)

Yeah but he hasn't done a lot of music production lately and it's true when you're an actor you've got to play paying gigs. Although looking at his estimated net worth he could take some time off.
