>how dare you engage in a business practice that was legal within both of our lifetimes you evil, heartless monsterWho wrote this garbage? Why would anyone care?
>Who wrote this garbage?
well, if a feller wants to purchase another human being and set him to work, i don't see no problem with it. i mean, it's legal ain't it?
>>741847063Arthur was born in 1863.
>Hell, you just have to take a gander at our history to know it's bad. Them big triangles in Egypt? Slaves built those, the Good Book says so. Those poor fellers from Israel, enslaved by them Egyptians until good folk like Moses freed them.
>>741847063RDR2 was woke and the writing was shitty, we know, move on.
It's acually in character for all of dutch's gang to act like that but you didn't play RDR1 and you are a tourist.
liberals get aroused at the thought of retroactively making the past more liberal and gaslighting people
>>741847063Euros have the most insane take on slavery. They imagine that the whole world is just like them, cold climate, low birth rate, comprehensive social safety, law abiding... The idea that people are born en masse in abject poverty and live most their lives like starving animals is just not possible. Slavery is a social innovation that provides people like that some measure of social capital, because the alternative is to just kill them. All the niggers in America wouldn't even exist if not for slavery. They would have been killed, some raped, a small number eaten, by their fellow Africans.
>>741847063>dutch's gang's whole thing is wanting to be free and hating the government>even have multiple black people in the gang>"WDYM THEY DON'T LIKE SLAVERY"
>>741847063killing and robbing people is... le goodracism is... le bad
>>741847063I'm a morally grey character I kill innocent i terrorize women and children. but I would never say slur or be racist
>>741847063
>>741847063>outlaw has to like slavery because it’s… legal?
>>741847063There have always been people against slavery, even back when it was common
>>741853697that was my OC. Can't prove it but just know, you're in a presence of a /v/ celebrity right now anon
>>741850178historical revisionism is the only way they can make people believe their bullshit utopian ideas
>>741853697i made this btw
>>741847063I burned him to the death and gained honor, if you don't like it mod it or make your own game.
>>741847135>Who wrote this garbage?
>>741847063Chattel slavery was always considered horrific by every culture. Even fucking Spain thought the American South was barbaric and threw Columbus in jail for his slave trade activity.Slavery through most of human history was indentured servitude with a contract and legal/social protections. Chattel slavery was the most savage and monstrous form it had ever taken.
>>741847063Mfs with no job defending slavery again
>>741847063It being legal makes it morally acceptable?Alright, so when are you sending your kid to drag queen story hour?
>>741850151it is, but arthur should have gone on a "I LOVE DA CONCEPT OF FREEDOM YEEEUUUPP THAT COS IMMA COWBOY OUTLAW WHO HATES ALL FORMS OF AUTHORITARIANISM" tirade instead of "erm, owning slaves is heckin EVIL, chud. now let me kill you so I can gain honor points"
>>741859651>game should have dumbed it down for meit’s not like you get chased down by the pinkertons the entire game retard. Arthur would love slave catcher though
>>741853697yooo that's my post
>>741850151yeah but thats 2 not 1 so now you're the tourist
>>741856501troons with no dick defending niggers again
>>741850091UHHH WOKE WOKE DEI DEI DEI
>>741847063I always think it's crazy how so many people who criticize this game clearly never fucking played it. Like are you retarded or something?
>>741847063Legality does not indicate what is morally correctFor example, abortion is illegal in many states now, but that doesn't mean your mom shouldn't aborted your faggot ass and saved us from your stupidity
>>741856217I think slavery was always seen as bad by every culture. Unless you were one of the slavers and made a profit off of it, then it was okay. The average Joe often didn’t like it but accepted it as a fact of life though.
>>741847063People knew it was wrong anon. Fuck him.
>>741853697Hes literally a murderer and a thief
>>741856217>slave slaveryChattel means slave you stupid nigger. Is no different than any other type of slavery expect your coon asses got whipped for not working
>>741863554Everyone always knew on some level that forcing another human into being your slave was wrong. There is no culture where being a slave was something people aspired to.
>>741856501At least they do it openly now instead of going for the dogwhistles.
>>741863875Then why is he such a massive faggot in the story?
>>741863886>Chattel means slaveNo it doesnt you stupid hick
>>741864168Found a dumb nigger kek
>>741856501Let's fast forward 100 years and see how progressive you calling me "mf" is, chud.
>>741856217The Arab slave trade was a multitude worse
>>741863875He only kills in self defense and steals from the rich. The times he merely collects debt money from poor people he has a mental breakdown. He’s a anarcho-communist.
>americans start flipping out if you criticize their insane slaving historykek
>>741864226The African slave trade is focused on because its what built America, and America is the most important country in the world and I mean that unsarcastically
>>741864370They just picked cotton and tobacco it wasn’t that serious except a few handful of families got mega rich they didn’t “build america”If they built amwrica then strawberry farmers built america
>>741864573"Just" cotton and tobacco
>browns think getting whipped for being a lazy nigger is insanekek
>>741853697>I chose to do all of those things in this mostly freewill game where you could do most of things in this list the oposite way..so it's the game's fault.
>>741863642Wow. Saved me a purchase
>>741864637Saying slavery “built america” is an excuse to erase white history and usher in gay race communism. America wouldn’t be a super power at all if it weren’t for all the contributions of white settlers fighting wars and expanding and skilled craftsman and factory workers dying and building everything you see around you.
>>741847063The more I read historical accounts the more I identify with abolitionists that argued that slavery was a sin against God.
>>741863273U mad bro?
>>741864906The more I read modern accounts the more I identify with slavers that argued that abolition was a sin against God.
>>741864894>>741864637Shieee the white house finna be built out dis cotton niggaaaShiee look at deez yt boyz they just sitting around
>>741864906Both Abolitionists and the civil rights movements years later often cited the Bible as evidence to back up their cause. You can’t be Christian and be pro-slavery without being a massive hypocrite.
>>741864894>/pol/buzzword /pol/buzzword /pol/buzzword /pol/buzzwordRanjeet you will never be white no matter how hard you try to fit in
>>741865261Back to the whipping post toby :-)
>>741847063Legal doesn't mean it's morally correct.
>>741865261Doesn't change that everything that anon said was right.
Being the thieving murderer isn't morally correct, Arthur has no room to judge the slaver.
>game takes place after the civil war>somehow surprised the mindset changing to look down on slavery
>>741847063>nudge dessicated negro corpseYOU'VE LOST HONOR>shoot sad old broken man in the back of the head after he loses his last sentimental possessionYOU'VE GAINED HONORthe game sucksponderous bullshit to play and then you get stealth lectured by a flock of office harpies for everything you doand then your horse walks in front of a train and insta-dies and can never come back and neither can all the hides it had on it and then the game autosaves because MUH REALISMfuck you rockstar
>>741867139>after the civil warthe game takes place in the south during jim crow era, if anything the characters should be MORE racist than if the game took place before the civil war
>>741847135Shame. A good handful of them are at least bangable. Why oh why did we ever have to let them out of the household?
>>741847063>how dare you engage in a business practice that was legal within both of our lifetimesOne, you live in a society where usury in the ancient sense is not only legal, but encouraged. Where it's customary to owe over twice of what you've borrowed on large loans. Where the most vile practices of old have been normalized and brought under the protection of law.Two, legality of an action has nothing to do with its morality. This is the basis of the noble outlaw character archetype.
>>741847063There are lots of things that are legal but I would still find you absolutely disgusting if you did themBut yeah RDR2's writing sucks
>>741867775They are outlaws. Why would they have the mindset of the rest of the people?
>>741847063It's funny because slavery still exists today. But none of these bleeding heart leftist faggots know or care about it because it's no longer wyppo doing it
>>741847063>Arthur: Spends half the game hunting bounties>How dare you catch this sub-type of bounty!
>>741860827rdr1 is just a woke you tourist
>>741853810>I may murder people for what they have in their pockets but I would never force one to work!
>>741863273>if i just repeat the accurate but hurtful buzzwords in all caps, it makes YOU the silly oneare you also "DA JOOZ" poster?
>>741856217It's like abortion.It happened, people knew it was horrifically evil, but they didn't care because they benefited from it.
>>741847063>it's legal so that means it's okay to do
>>741847063>all outcomesIsn't it a binary choice? Burn his journal or give it back?
>>741864370Vast majority of America's growth happened after the civil war. Just because the clothes that the great men who made America were made of cotton doesn't mean the machinery that picked it played a role.
>>741853697>durr he did a couple good things so he's a moral faggotArthur was consistently a dickhead for the majority of the game though. The Strauss missions have you beating poor people for pennies, and he didnt care about how cruel he's been until he got TB.
>>741874412Weird, because abortion is now seen as good now and it’s actually transgressive to say that you’re anti-abortion unless you’re part of a religious community.Progressive morality is bizarre and inconsistent.
>>741874481Literally yes. That's what being legal means.
>>741864760Letting an outlaw character do all that goody-goody shit is still a problem. Like, if you want to sell who a character is, you don't give them those kinds of choices.
>>741874854It's legal for Jews to control the government so therefore you shouldn't be mad about it
>>741874954“Outlaw with a heart of gold” is an ancient trope. Even then, you can play Arthur as a low honour dick if you want.
>>741847063I mean people having their tempers flared at the topic isn't the issue. it's that the game will try to penalize you with negative honor for the dumbest shit, but will let you burn people alive with a pat on the back if they're a racist in the wild west. it just feels extremely lazy.
>>741874854Legality isn't morality.
>>741847063>>741847135My favorite part is the left is suuuper big on muh moral relativism for "certain groups", but doesn't apply it to this, for some reason.
>>741853697I remember when greentext stories used to be funny but this shit is some corny babylon bee tier humor. Feels like a relic of late 2010s internet """"'"comedy""""""
>>741875560gamergate, the fappening, the election tourist invasion all were 4chan's 9/11 and we'll never be able to escape the fallout
>>741875201Sure but "1800's Outlaw with a heart of modern views of social justice" is retarded.
>>741874676>WHO CARES IF HE STOOD UP FOR FEMINISM AND SLAVES, HE WAS STANDOFFISH! SEE? HE WAS BAD!lollmao
legal doesnt mean moralthere are things people do legally, that other people are upset about today. Are you retarded OP?
>>741852105All of that is a choice. Even the quest in the OP. You literally don't have to do it.
>>741847063Anon think about how much better America would be today if slavery never happened.
>>741876853>I will beat a sick man to death in front of his wife and child, but by golly don't let me ever catch you taking the black man's name in vain
>>741876853careful anon, incels don't do well with nuance. hurts their brains
>>741847063I don't play slopquels or modern rockstar give me a qrd for this mission
>>741877494Don't be antisemitic
>>741880169what does white people owning slaves have to do with antisemitism?>b-b-but le 98% of slave owners were le jews!yes i saw that /pol/troon infographic too. it has no source. if you're going to repeat incel drivel at least give a reputable source for it.
>>741874034The guy just wanted his stuff back. They make you feel bad for him, he's old and homeless and broken. Then they think they got you. Oh he was a slave catcher. No he didn't own slaves, but he returned them to their owners. He's morally evil, forever. Nothing can absolve him of his crimes. Now burn all of his things in front of him and execute him like a dog, goy! He's evil! Unlike Arthur who never did anything morally gray in his life...
