RPG Maker game Horrorvale is getting BLASTED on Tiktok for RACISM due to having a character based off of the Wendigo and devs are IGNORING THE ACCUSATIONSHow did these SCUM get away with this BLATANT HECKIN RACISM????
Maybe I’m just an out of touch chud but how is having a character based on a wendigo racist?
>tiktokI would ignore 'accusations' from that place too
>>750911958The word wendigo is taboo and summons demons or something if you say it (according to some natives)
>>750911958There are people that genuinely believe if you talk about or think about them they will actually come and kill you
>>750912163That still doesn’t answer how it’s “racist”
>>750912656No one native actually believes that except for old superstitious people All the people mad about it are white people with a savior complex
>>750912675Developer is white allegedly so they're "not allowed to use it" and it's basically like the pioneers massacring the indians all over again
>>750911820But it's based on the modern Anglo American Wendigo, not the mythical Native American Wendigo
>>750911820she's a backer character and it becomes pretty obvious later onAnyway wendigo sexo
>>750912902This character looks like THAT?
I would like to acknowledge that we are shitposting on the Indigenous lands of Turtle Island, the ancestral name for what now is called North America.Moreover, I would like to acknowledge the Alabama-Coushatta, Caddo, Carrizo/Comecrudo, Coahuiltecan, Comanche, Kickapoo, Lipan Apache, Tonkawa and Ysleta Del Sur Pueblo, and all the American Indian and Indigenous Peoples and communities who have been or have become a part of these lands and territories on 4chan.
>>750911820I think the bigger issue is wendigos ain't deer. The game got around it saying her family is a bunch of deer wendigo hybrids though. Also that's what set them off? Not Van Helsing?
>>750911958For some reason there's a bunch of loonies who think that if you aren't native american you are not allowed to talk about wendigo. Even the word wendigo is wrong so you MUSTN'T use it, it's wechuge (even this word is not allowed for you to use). To them it's culturally insensitive to take a part of native american culture and make a modern and """inaccurate""" interpretation of wendigo, nevermind the fact that every other culture's monsters (like mummies) have been used countless times and no one cared.
>>750911958It's just cultural appropriation. The solution is labeling your "wendigo" as a skull cryptid instead.The problem is that with cultural appropriation in horror is that it is lazy and poorly researched, and it can take you out of the story.
GET OUT OF MY STORE
>>750913930The funny thing is they don't even callthis character a Wendigo in gameThey call her a "Carnabou"So the "controversy" is even stupider.
>>750913930>>750913667>>750912656>>750912163holy shit I didn't know the wendigo is roko's basilisk
>>750913656You're implying these people actually played the game and didn't just read the wiki page or something
>>750911820is digimon racist then? the've had a wendigomon since the year 2000
>>750914080Well it is but not because of that guy.
>>750912163>according to some natives*according to some 16 year old she/theys who supposedly have a native great great great grandfather so whenever they talk about natives they say "us" and "we"
>>750911958I mean you called yourself a chud so you must be somewhat familiar with tranny terms
>>750911820>TiktokNigger thread
>>750912902wendy sexoooo
>>750914041Good point. What about Jackie and this sale pic that was used twice? It is an example of Pumpkinface.
Skull-faced creature... Hmhmhm... Erotic ~~~~~
>>750915182I don't think in-universe racism counts
>>750916276thank god for that, CEO of Racism Van "Gigachad" Helsing would not fly with today's standards
>>750911958White men are attracted to wendigos more so than other other species of male therefore it's raycyst
>>750913989all the dev needs to do is just say it's not a wendigo. problem solved.
>>750911820out of touch my ass, I'm touching the FUCK outta that wendigo
>>750911958Because leftist on social media are mentally ill freaks who hate white people.
>>750917831But she's gay...
>>750917982and?I'm gonna bust on that furry pussy until it stinks
>>750917982no she's a lesbian, so she's """"bi""""" at best
>>750913930On a scale from 0 to Helen of Detroit how culturally inaccurate and offensive is the depiction of wendigos in this game?
WHY do you talk like you're trying to farm ENGAGEMENT on YOUTUBE?You DILDO
>>750918361Neither of those look like they came out of the Mediterranean
>>750911820the dev posted a gif on twitter of some loch ness monster woman jumping up and down with her tits jiggling everywhere, I think I may buy this game now.
>>750911820>worrying about what the subhumans on tiktok are thinkingDevs are doing the right thing not caring.
>>750918597I think that's her arms, anon....
>>750918491How else am I gonna get people to talk about the game? What's your favorite quest?
>>750918597And you didn't post it here?
>>750918639>>750918742oh damn, nvm, guess I was too horny while browsing Twitter to tell the difference, woops.
Fake outrage to generate free publicity, oldest viral marketing trick ever
>>750918840doot
where's alice, I got a new sidequest for her: give me a bonejob I'm gonna show her some real dry humping
I am absolutely certain that Wendigos, like just about anything tied to mythology and folklore have been used in popular media loads. Supernatural had one in an early episode. How is this a controversy?
>>750919109It's not a real controversy apparently.
>>750918840She still cute
>>750919109>>750919181THIS specific controversy is not real, but leftist faggots DO throw a shitfit if you say wendigo now.
>>750919239Thank you for the information maybe I'll act less surprised if it happens to me. Doesn't really affect me though.. I'm 5% south american native! :D
>>750919239It's definitely real, but it seems to just be one annoying person.WARNING RADIOACTIVE HAZARD WEAR HAZMAT IF ENTERINGhttps://www.tiktok.com/@genetaceae/video/7703746756051242253
>>750913656>wendigos ain't deerYeah I don't get why I keep seeing them depicted as deer-skull monsters, I thought they were ice vampires or something?
>>750919437they're skeleton cannibalism monsters but the satyr/deer skull is a defining look so it stuck after whoever did it first
>>750919437I vaguely feel like it became a thing after Mal0 took off, not sure tho.
>>750919437There's some other native American monster I forgot the the name of that people call wendigos. It's like how in the Jurassic Park movie the deinonychus are called velociraptors.
>>750911820>Skull depiction is more of a recent thing in the last 30 years or so>Visual representation has no roots in Native folklore and is almost entirely constructed of modern America>Even when calling shapeshifting skuller critters in the woods "wendigo" there's very little attempt to actually sabotage or insult native culture>Literally no different then using a gnome/troll/demon/jiāngshī/yokai/etc >Somehow now racistIs a single person screaming this even actually a tribal resident, or is it all white hoes claiming they're 1/32 Cherokee as usual?
>>750911820>have to start a thread with culture war drama to get anons to talk about a game you likeI can't condemn you for this but it's still sad.
>>750919437>>750919501>>750919547The earliest book I read about it with that look was the book called The Wendigo by Algernon Blackwood, from 1910. It's pretty okay. I don't remember the wendigo being depicted as deer skull monster, only hooves, but I think it usually is so, on the cover and whatnot.They aren't ice vampires or skeletons specifically I think, but they have to do with starvation in winter turning people into cannibal monsters.
>>750919652>The earliest book I read about it with that look was the book called The Wendigo by Algernon Blackwood, from 1910Damn, I forgot about that guy, I need to read more of his short stories.
tfw no early 00s edgy autistic lolibaba waif
>>750919652They're not undead skellington but emaciated and boney is what i meant
>>750919707they're cool. I like listening to them as audiobooks>>750919836yeah that would make more sense. I like the horns tho cause it gives them a north american woodland vibe. but then again someone else said there's another type of guy like that?
>>750913656Vampires also don't burn in the sun, can turn into wolves, and don’t die from being stakedShit changes.
>>750911820>Assuming all native americans have the same folkloreThat's racist
>>750919809>owns a fursuit
Someone else besides me played HorrorVale? I love this game but I have to ask: At what point do references cross the line of homage and go into unoriginality territory? Like to give you an idea one of the major story bosses is straight up a Majora's Mask ripoff lol.
>>750920305It's clearly done with love and does enough to make it its own distinct thing imoCharacter directly quotes actual shitty Zelda fanfiction multiple time
>>750920305it won't be that long till all the references are esoteric knowledge, they're all 2000's era internet things and are close to 20 years old now, pretty soon they'll just be zany monsters
>>750911820WENDIGO WOMEN
>>750911820double sexo
>>750920305i think it does the right thing in that even if you don't know the reference they're still fun monsters to fight. like, do you need to know SCP-682 to know The Lizard is cool as shit? no, definitely not, but having that little extra knowledge heightens it even more anyway, sex with alice and gwen at the same time
>>750911820GOOD.
>>750911958Just some dumb crap injun larpers ramble about. Nothing to worry.
>>750912902I will now buy your game
