Kingdom Come: Deliverance is a lovely eurojank game where you play as a special-ed student who learns to swing a sword in Bohemia. It garnered attention upon its release for the lead dev's refusal to add Blak people to the game, for "historical accuracy", and he continued to play the chud after the game sold well. (Montage of various chuddy tweets from back in the day)
However, the upcoming sequel has been struck with disaster - a leak showing the darkest Muslim man in existence lecture the player about how good Islam is hit the web and created a frenzy. Additionally, there was a rumour about an unskippable gay love scene between the canonically straight main character and some random dude.
Naturally, this caused some panic among chuds. Was their hecking based Czech studio infiltrated? Where did it all go wrong?
They took to Twitter to pester the studio head, Daniel Vavra, to ask for clarification. Instead of an answer, they received non-responses in various forms
Turns out that we are once again in the middle of a rather bizarre "culture war", this time from the opposite side than usual :) So here's a statement, but I'd hate to spoil the plot of the game for the sake of it. pic.twitter.com/MDgbY7WD7A

Finally, the silence was broken
5/10 KCD is an RPG, you are responsible for your decisions. If you want Henry to try a same-s*x adventure, feel free. If you don’t want to, you don’t have to. All affairs are (and were in KCD1) purely optional. The characters are perfectly aware, that it was a forbidden sin.

Yes, there is a proud Kang, and yes you will frick the bussy, and you'll like it darnit!
Responses have been measured and reasonable
Claims abound of plummeting preorder numbers and de-wishlisting
Mark Kern has also become an enemy of the state, claiming the game definitely isn't woke.
I can guarantee that none of these r-slurs were going to play it anyway, particularly because I've not seen anyone mention this particular line from Kern's review:
Combat is similar but easier than the first game
The real goyslop is in making the mechanics dumber so that hecking valid enbys don't cry when forced to learn a moderately interesting combat system.

As our resident expert in early 1400s Bohemia my take is:
Yeah, there could be blacks in Prague. This was its golden age when it was one of the most important cities in the world. Until just a few years earlier it wasn't just the capital of Bohemia (which is a big deal in itself) but the capital of the of the entire Holy Roman Empire. It had Charles University, the first university in mainland Europe north of the Alps, which was kind of a big deal attracting tens of thousands of people. There would be all kinds of people there. Traders, diplomats, college students, crackpot alchemists, mercenaries, priests, monks, nuns. Actually this would be a really good setting for an RPG if you think about it...
(If you want to know more, check out my Darklands LP where I happen to mention a few facts about Bohemia at that time.)
So in my opinion, saying there couldn't have been a black guy in Prague is somewhat tarded. Not as completely full-scale hurricane force r-slurred as claiming that in the first game they should lots of blacks living in rural Bohemia. It would be unlikely but possible for a diplomat from Africa to go there.
It's a fricking computer game, r-slurs. Unlikely things happen all the time in games. I mean ffs the most realistic depiction of Europe in this period is Darklands and that has constant divine intervention in everything and alchemy.
Now, to play the devil's advocate, if I was a chud who really wanted to make this not historical, I might look at which part of Africa he's from.
Sure. Let him go around doing homo stuff. Why not?
This isn't one of those games where you have a voiced protagonist and a billion cut-scenes defining who your character is. It's your choice. It's up to you. You decide what kind of person you are. I know a lot of you are consolestrags who grew up on Japanese games where you had no choice what to do, kind of like living under communism in the 1980s, so it's gonna be hard for you to adapt. But please, you have freedom now.

Henry is kind of a defined character, but his character is "strange manchild." He sort of grows up toward the end of the narrative. That would normally be a heartwarming moment, except he starts and ends the game looking around about 26, so he just comes across as

the mansa musa thing doesn't necessarily mean it's woke. the kevin costner robin hood movie had morgan freeman playing robin hood's sidekick. he BLACKED his way around england and said that mayo monkies were smelly, dirty barbarians. it wasn't woke.

Isn't the entire appeal of KC:D that it's le based unwoke game for true aryan chads? For all that I think the posters of Kotaku In Action are pearl clutching hypocrites, if they were the entire target demographic for this game then it seems like a bit of a bad business decision to make them all cancel their preorders. You can't pivot to appealing to the modern audience/games journ*lists after you made yourself public enemy #1 over the "historical accuracy" thing last time

The appeal was that it was an incredibly neurodivergent medieval RPG. It became a nexus of the culture war because the neurodivergent realism of medieval Europe appealed to retvrn cucks and upset the soys.

As somebody who plays RPGs about Bohemia in the 1400s all the time (check out my Darklands LP!):
No. Not at all. Extreme extreme wokies picked it out as something to get butthurt about because of...
(goddammit I'm going to have to explain this again)
("Virtue signalling" means taking up an extreme or obviously wrong viewpoint to show how committed you are to your side. A normal person having normal opinions doesn't pay a price. You're showing that you're willing be a tard for the cause.")
...virtue signalling. I was still plugged into leftoid circles back then and this was fricking bizarre. There was this one Czech guy saying politely that this isn't historically accurate, one r-slur who claimed to be a black woman whose lived experiences outweigh everything attacking him, me politely saying that the Czech guy is right. And everybody else was such a passive aggressive cute twink that they just sat there noting down that I rocked the boat, I'm not a team player.
The game was totally normal. The people who played it were normal. This was a moment in history where leftoid g*mers went psycho.
