Sony says it will remove Stellar Blade artwork that appears to reference racist slurs, claiming that the phrase’s inclusion was “unintentional.”
The art, which appears to combine two visual elements into a single phrase, was discovered during the review process. It can be seen in the screenshot below.
Sony Says Crash Bandicoot Art Referencing Racist Language Was Unintentional, Will be Patched Out
This seems kind of silly.
Will, you have this version of it. Looks like the game put a random graffiti art on the wall. So Shift Up did nothing wrong.
Sorry but i don’t understand it, can someone explain please? Hard rshop? What’s this?
Hard R, referencing the N word. Not sure the shop is part of the reference
How does R reference the N word?
To further explain, since I’m assuming you’re not a native speaker: the n-word can be two words, one ending in a hard r sound and one ending in an a sound. Hard r n-word is generally considered drastically more offensive. I wouldn’t suggest using either, to be entirely clear, but they’re very much different levels.
Ok thanks.
Linus? ?
I watched that live and it was amazing. I swear to god Luke goes through at least three stages of grief while Linus just keeps fucking talking.
looks at artwork, the joke is HARD R Oh come on, that’s hilarious, but we’re in an era of gaming where video games can’t have risque humor or jokes in them anymore.
It’s not “risqué humor” or a “joke,” it was a Korean company not knowing the nuance of a phrase in English. That’s why it was likely changed so quickly, because it wasn’t intended.
I don’t get it
They’re going to replace it with the version that means buddy
