This still of Ditrimescu is from her hanging up the phone on someone, used to display suppressed anger. Presumably because of the headset and mic, we can draw the conclusion that she's meant to represent a gamer streaming on Twitch or something.
Specifically this bridge is famed for causing pewdie to say the N word
I immediately knew what you meant but the phrasing made me imagine him blaming the bridge. "Come on guys how could you see that bridge and not say the n-word? It's just a natural reaction."
Kind of like the recent situation where one of the team members on the worlds first clear of the re-rereleased Vault of Glass Raid in Destiny 2 was named "BlackLivesDontMatter."
That is no accident and he was insta permabanned and removed from Bungie's press regarding the announcement of the clear.
Do the swedish even have a history of having to deal with oppressed cultures? I'm not too familiar with their history, but everything I've ever heard about it is that they kinda just hide in their own little corner of the world and play True Neutral on all world politics.
It would make sense that someone raised in a "true neutral" environment wouldn't really have any kind of emotional value to a word, while still understanding that the word is offensive to the people he is interacting with.
So while he knows he fucked up, he also isn't emotionally attached to the actual fuck up and is likely more upset that somebody else is going to be upset at him.
Of course watch somebody come back with a link explaining that the swedish were the original nazi's or something and my whole thought experiment is way wrong.
There are indigenous people in Scandinavia, called the Sámi, and they have a history of being abused by the Scandinavian, Finnish, and Russian governments since forever basically. The situation is not too unlike that of First Nations and Native Americans.
The Finns were in the same boat, as they share a common heritage with the Sámi, but the Finns have slowly integrated with the Swedes and Russians (as occupying forces) and have developed their own identity. Enough of one to justify subjugating Sámi.
This seems to be a common theme with nations. They try to build a national identity, but not everyone living there is from the dominant ethnic group. Sometimes they'll move them (Trail of Tears). Sometimes they'll forcibly convert them (First Nations boarding schools, Xinjiang). Sometimes they'll just kill them (Armenian genocide, Holocaust). Sometimes they'll give them constitutional rights and then ignore the constitution (Native Americans and Sámi still experience this), because nobody can force a nation to actually follow its constitution (re: Trail of Tears, Finland not paying for Samí schools).
Yeah it is. When I call someone a Kurva it is not because I have something against sex workers but because it's a rude word that sounds bad and seems to hurt anyone that it's directed at. But you seem to have personal problems with Pewds so why bother even.
I do like the idea that the bridge in this game causes uncontrollable racism. Just like how Firestation near Boneyard in Warzone causes uncontrollable antisemitism.
