New Board Game has a conquistador in it. Reviewer literally breaks down in tears upon seeing this. Redditors discuss.

editing as I go:

Creators of the game have already responded and removed the naughty bits from the game

The same reviewer's favorite game has pillaging as a central mechanic

I find their criticism to be... inconsistent. They have a pinned video to their Youtube channel about their favorite game, A Feast for Odin. In the video, the girl on the right says, while explaining the game, "you can go on expeditions, you can go pillaging for - which I'm not really a fan of the pillaging concept, but its sort of, kind of like, what happened... for amazing jewels..."

Insensitive chuds dont take her seriously

Crying?? Relay?? This is so embarrassing. It's a fricking board game. Play it or don't. No need to make an butt of yourself in a video.

Someone realizes that not mentioning the conquistadors who were literally instrumental to this time period would also cause backlash

We've recently had an uptick of people calling out problematic themes by not including all the dirty laundry--basically, whitewashing history, or committing erasure of traumatic events. Having a game set in the colonial period but pretending slavery didn't exist is being called out as bad.

G*mers don't deserve rights

This is the same problems video games have. I feel like us game players have made it too much a part of us, almost like an identity.

Youtube comments are all so supportive of her for being brave and courageous enough to cry about this

I can't even imagine having a life so devoid of obstacles and hardship that THIS is what makes you a blubbering mess. My main thought after watching what little of that I could stomach was, "how does she get through a normal day?" People throw around the word "privilege," but to me, this seems like the very definition.
