@fightincowboy.com has always been a real one

ash-tha-aries.bsky.social•15 days ago

One of the many reasons @fightincowboy.com is one of my fav streamers.

rachelfunkydiva.bsky.social•15 days ago

He handled this exactly right! You gotta shut that Nazi BS down immediately, or they shitify everything.

zefram.bsky.social•15 days ago

People generally like to avoid confrontation, so CHUDs take silence as agreement.

Even one loud voice speaking up, however, can shatter that illusion.

god this is so refreshing

ntpnate.bsky.social•15 days ago

Man said “I am 30 or 40 years old, and I do not need this shit!” A king.

theblanck.bsky.social•15 days ago

This was cathartic to listen to, and it is exactly how this kind of discourse should be handled. Gloves = off.

Loved him already. But that moment was just so vindicative...so cathartic.

norah.xyz•15 days ago

Cowboy is so good, thank you for spotlighting him!

ceilyurei.bsky.social•15 days ago

Most gamers aren't annoyed about the black guy existing, but he wasn't a samurai, and they freely let ya destroy shrines and shit, and murder civilians, as him.

ceilyurei.bsky.social•14 days ago

that wasn't exactly considered honorable. ANd was tempted to ammend that post with an "(In broad daylight)" for you dipshits

qutemommee.bsky.social•15 days ago

Interesting. I got to climb all over religious shit in AC 1 and AC 2. Mosques and Churches. Nobody complained when Ezio was standing on top of a cross at the top of a church. WHY? BC it's a sci-fi video game. See how none of that bothered folks enough not to play it. Same 💩 different day.😂

ceilyurei.bsky.social•15 days ago

there's a difference between climbing a building and wrecking the shit inside it.

qutemommee.bsky.social•15 days ago

Have you actually played Assassin's Creed 1 and 2 or even Unity bc I wrecked plenty of shit in those churches😂😂😂

ceilyurei.bsky.social•15 days ago

Whatever. ANd no, because I didn't own those consoles.

qutemommee.bsky.social•15 days ago

Shame. I hope you get the chance to play them one day. For those of us who have been playing the games since 2007, tearing shit up in holy sites is pretty normal.🤷‍♀️

desastertristan.bsky.social•15 days ago

What about 'Shut the fuck up' didn't you understand? Do you need instructions how to do it?

ceilyurei.bsky.social•15 days ago

There are two sides to this besides the extremes, but both sides are too busy radicalizing themselves to see it

desastertristan.bsky.social•15 days ago

Ah, I see, you crying about video games is actually culturally very important and actually, you are the smart and thoughtful one. Lol.

ceilyurei.bsky.social•14 days ago

You're bitching about people "crying about videogames" and seeing THAT as important so... pot calling the kettle black much>

disasterdom96.bsky.social•15 days ago

Bro nobody is complaining about that. What are you even on about?

ceilyurei.bsky.social•15 days ago

yes people are. THe Japanese are, for one. Yasuke coulda been an interesting character, but they ruined that chance with their portrayal

desastertristan.bsky.social•15 days ago

No, they are not. Read some actual reviews.

ceilyurei.bsky.social•15 days ago

From where? IGN? Nobody gives a fuck about IGN. I ain't trusted "Games Media" to give a decent review either way since like 2010.

desastertristan.bsky.social•15 days ago

Japanese media. Not that you care to check.

disasterdom96.bsky.social•15 days ago

Are you Japanese? Do you speak for them? Or are you letting some people from their government making a fuss about it imply all of Japan is enraged over this? The majority of people throwing a fit were doing so because there is a black man in Japan.

ceilyurei.bsky.social•15 days ago

THat's just how it looks because you aren't willing to look into it. I don't like the racist takes either, but that is not the sole reason why. The disrespect for Japanese shrines in game, and in the merch, is another.

handleofgin.bsky.social•15 days ago

you're actually a fucking idiot

ceilyurei.bsky.social•15 days ago

and yer a tourist and a dick bag. I can call names too

gravitybreak.media•15 days ago

it's a fucking assassin's creed game

ceilyurei.bsky.social•15 days ago

Set in Japan, that disrespects Japanese culture. They also put him in a relationship with Oda Nobunaga's wife. They also used the work of a historic revisionist to justify Yasuke being portrayed as a samurai. It's disrespectful what they are doing with the game.

dancow.bsky.social•15 days ago

Oh was Assassin’s Creed seen as a respectful and accurate depiction of Italian history?

https://youtu.be/xkii8qLcJ24?si=nRgGeiZzgIhXXCPo

ceilyurei.bsky.social•15 days ago

They weren't marketing that game as "historically accurate" then decided to backpedal, though

dancow.bsky.social•15 days ago

lol. LMAO even — the marketing for every mainline Assassin’s Creed game gushes about how much money and time they spent on researching and recreating the historical period and its people

gravitybreak.media•15 days ago

you are completely lost in the sauce, my dude. nobody in the world would naturally be pissed off about this unless they were immersing themselves in ragebait

gravitybreak.media•15 days ago

is this your first time hearing about assassin's creed? literally the entire series is like this. do you know what kind of shit ezio, a random italian guy, does in this series?

ceilyurei.bsky.social•15 days ago

You are punished for killing civilians as Eio. And for the Egyptian one, if ya kill cats. I'm slightly familiar with the franchise, yes

gravitybreak.media•15 days ago

i have literally shoved civilians into the river as ezio where they immediately drowned, and it's considered acceptable because i shoved them gently

"slightly" is right; the idea that this series is "respectful" toward history is insane. the whole point is using historical places for wacky bullshit

mochajoe.bsky.social•15 days ago

1000%

tripppage.bsky.social•15 days ago

hey @democrats.org this is the energy we're looking for, not smash bros choose your fighter tiktoks.

lavawings.bsky.social•15 days ago

Cowboy is my favorite streamer for a lot of reasons and this is a big one. Bro has integrity.

krynis.ca•15 days ago

been a fan of cowboy for years but this is next level, so proud of him.

jontafkasi.bsky.social•15 days ago

More tough guy talk like this please.

jdhattin.bsky.social•15 days ago

But everyone is okay with the Japanese guy looking like Adam Driver? 😏

kodakazar.bsky.social•15 days ago

Ok, hear me out, but this dude’s passion to snuff out bigotry in his community is *hawt*.

indiegameclinic.bsky.social•15 days ago

vagabondaeon.bsky.social•15 days ago

I'm 100% with you there

marcquill.bsky.social•15 days ago

Cowboy shit.

Looks like the wrestler Kenny Omega and is a real cowboy like Hangman Adam Page.

My kind of dude.

ddoz.bsky.social•15 days ago

Same angrboda kids showing up for ac

gogorobo.bsky.social•15 days ago

Cowboy is just a great guy, love when he just destroys these kind of horrible gremlins

marholland.bsky.social•15 days ago

Agreed also black folks have been in gaming since what the 90s maybe earlier so that's why this discourse made no sense to me

kodakazar.bsky.social•15 days ago

Even older than that! One of the reasons we even have swappable game programs on consoles is thanks to a Black man! Legendary engineer Jerry Lawson helped create swappable cartridges for the Fairchild Channel F console(a system he created as well!), which came out in 1976!
