I just have one question. The second part of the demo is from the main game right?
Because i don't want to play that
Yeah it's from a bit further in. You won't spoil anything if you play vs the trash mobs but the boss fight is def a spoiler

Like I said, lame excuse, nobody would care. It’s not a real setting, nor a real historical place, there are flame birds. You can parrot this as long as you want, nothing changes.
Regardless, devs are free to do whatever they want.
This is why they call it the woke mind virus. The brain perceives ideology as the undeniable truth and own eyes no longer can perceive simple facts and logic.

It's funny, I don't think the characters even look like "white people." They certainly don't look like any white people I've ever known, but instead look like cartoon anime characters. Which of course makes me think of the country of Japan and the people there. I know the guy in charge is saying they are trying to make it look like a historical European setting but the characters just don't look like "real people" to me so .... it all seems like a wash.

Also, was it Resident Evil 5 that took place in Africa and was deemed offiensive because the zombie enemies were African? So we need up getting Hispanic and Asian zombies in these African villages? lol

You are literally damned if you do and damned if you don't with these people. You can find "racism" in anything if you want to. The idea that every piece of media has to have a cross section of the global populace (unless you focus on non-white people, then it's ok to be 100% whatever) is so completely insane I don't even know what the end game is with all this stuff.

The problem for RE 5 wasn't that the enemies were black as much as that the hero was a white man killing black people, because black zombie lives matter, apparently, and Chris should have employed more culturally sensitive policing techniques to their peaceful protests.

It’s factual and logical that:
  • It’s a fantasy game
  • The game has monsters and is not real
  • If a game has a fire bird and a fire dog, it can have a black character
  • The creators are free to do whatever they want
  • I’m not criticizing the game for not having diverse characters because I, and no one else, actually cares about this.
  • The excuse they’re using is lame, they could’ve done it if they wanted to, but they didn’t want to and that’s completely fine. They’re free to do whatever they want, it’s their call and nobody should force anything onto them.
Now kindly get this antagonizing woke mind virus shit out of here. Speak like a real person and not some kind of Elon musk drone. Grow up.

None of that is fact, it's all opinion, and ignorant opinion at that. A real person would simply accept that any creator of art can create whatever the fuck they want, and if it doesn't fit their worldview, they should just STFU and engage with art that doesn't hurt their fragile little heart so bad.

That would be maturity and intelligence. Your woke crap is just hatred and ignorance masquerading as some sick parody of enlightenment while openly spewing your bigoted worldview.

are you blind? I’m saying they’re free to do what they want and that is fine.
Regardless, the excuse is still lame. Both of these can be true. Lol. Grow up.

Oh, I’m finding some problem with people here that have really a hard time understanding what is being said. Reading comprehension is a real problem.
There are morons everywhere, it seems.
Um, okay? I understood everything you said perfectly fine.

Yeah I know. I just find the constant debate around this stuff exhausting. Haters gonna hate and all that, but it keeps being inserted into the conversation about every game.
The game is going to be amazing, regardless. And it’s really tiresome to see some people trying to shove this fake outrage as if they actually cared about this! They don’t! All they want is some random reason to hate on a game! The virtue signaling is revolting.
