  • Hello guys and gals, it's me Mutahar again! This time we take a look at what appears to be a revival of a controversy before the existence of my channel. Resident Evil 5 is a game mired in controversy over it's depiction of Africa. IGN seems to believe it most certainly can't be produced again. Are they in the right? Let's find out! Thanks for watching!

    As an East African, I was absolutely excited to see my language in a game franchise that I grew up playing. Literally, everyone at our school knew RE5 and loved it. Hearing the zombies speak swahili so accurately was soooo cool.
    But it's sorta weird how these Western media outlets assume our stance for us. Saying that the game has a racist undertone and is offensive to Africans. It's not... we can do the talking for ourselves if it was.
    I kinda hate it when other non-related groups take it upon themselves to practice virtue signalling like it's their duty to speak for others.
    I can guarantee none of these people making a fuss about the game have known an African or even been to Africa.
    EDIT: Now that I think about it, the Africans depicted in the game were the racist ones lmao. You could hear most of them snarl and spout verbal abuse at Chris at times. Calling him words like "nguruwe mmarekani" which translates to "american pig". I found this hilariously edgy lmfao.

      Also, it's weird to call Resident Evil racist when you could argue that (to some degree) the virus'/parasites' have always been an allegory for racism. Like, come on: corporation founded & run by rich white people using their wealth and position of power over impoverished people to torture and (literally) dehumanize them? It's an easy connection to make.
      It's like you said: IGN is speaking for Africans, which is ridiculous, because only people from Africa could rightly look at depictions of their home and people and decide if it feels stereotypical/insulting or not.

  • @geofff.3343
    @geofff.3343 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +224

    Okay, so the plot in a nutshell of RE5 is:
    Wesker gets access to Plagas from Ada Wong by some means. He uses Tricel to develop both Plagas Type 2 and Uruboros. Uruboros is not a Plagas strain, it is actually a Progenitor strain. The Progenitor Virus is the mother virus to the T, G, and T-Veronica viruses. It comes from a flower called the Stairway to the Sun which exists in the region of West Africa the game takes place in. Wesker needed a base sample. In a certain subset of the human population consuming this flower grants what are believed to be godlike superhuman abilities. Wesker makes this Uruboros with the goal of spreading it across the whole world and letting the weak be culled leaving the fortunate. The vast majority of people would become goopy monsters but like 1% would become basically the next stage in human evolution, of which Wesker thought himself one of them and would rule over the new world order as a god. If anyone's the uncomfortable allegory in this game its Wesker, the bad guy.
    The sad truth is Chris is there to basically clean up something unsalvageable at this point, and there are lots of African BSAA members so it's just weirdly unhinged shallow-reading of the material. Chris doesn't see himself as better. He sees himself as woefully behind the eight ball and just trying to stop the world from getting killed by a WHITE BLONDE MAN.

    • @SuperSmashDolls
      @SuperSmashDolls 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +16

      Hot take: if a shallow read can make people think your game is racist, you're a bad writer.
      Like, I get the argument that Sheva is one of the two protagonists and the game has lots of lore about why we're in Africa and how you're really trying to stop some guy who's trying to do a fascism. The problem is that *nobody cares about RE lore* enough to do the deep read required to actually arrive at that conclusion. What they see is "fun zombie game", they play it, they get to the level where you shoot up an entire African tribe, it makes the (presumably white) gamer feel uncomfortable, they stop playing, and they call the game racist, which isn't accurate to the source material but it *is* accurate to how they read it.
      If a writer wants their work to be interpreted a particular way, they need to actually ensure they put all the information necessary to reach that conclusion right in front of the player. It can't be skippable lore.

    • @abaddon_9941
      @abaddon_9941 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +27

      Heavily disagree, you can argue you can skip lore of any videogame ever by skipping it cutscenes, people also hate being forced on lore. RE's never strong point was on lore aspects.
      Put one and two together seeing how villagers force in first cutscene on the parasite and you will see aren't themselves, and they execute brutally the butcher that gives your equipment. he's african and agent part of bsaa group.
      @@SuperSmashDolls
      Elden Ring and souls games also let people skip 90% of lore and ppl like to discuss it make their own thoughts.
      Horror games also have always done extra lore on diaries, extra document notes, for those who enjoy it. RE4 remake is no expection, you can read documents and notes on las plagas, the regenerators and other mutants is all optional.
      This just goes to show how some people lack culture and put 0 seconds thoughts. for a japanese game back in 2009 its well done. If you are unwillingly to do any research, look up thats also on you part of the game. its like arguing a book or a media is bad without wanting to understand it and just first thoughts.
      I guess God Of War is just Kratos mindless killing people. Nier automata is just a dumb robot game. You can simplify and call any game bad writing by just first thoughts. curiosity and knowledge is what can drive humans.

    The first area you see affected is also engaging in a social-gathering-hype behaviour, they're ganging up and demonstrating against something, (I always suspected it was Tricell)
    The isolated villagers were likely maintaining their culture with festival gatherings regularly, in the same way many places around the world do.
    The Army infected were already part of a tight-knit group.
    Later BOWs also seem to have weird family or ingroup-outgroup structures of behaviour too, so I wonder if Umbrella were playing with the chemicals that reinforce familial or social bonds among infected deliberately.

They did a complete 180 and removed Shiva and the African continent silhouette from the cover and put Chris & Jill on it instead. And then there was the bonus outfits, Shiva in tribal Zulu gear wasn't a big deal. However, considering how capcom has taken a flaming dump on each and every ONE of the female outfits for each remake, it won't be a shock that it will be censored. **And spare me about 'mods', these games are made to move consoles first and foremost meeting DEI guidelines PC is a after thought.

      Yeah, there's a ton more going on below the surface on that game. Another detail (per the notes in the wiki) is that the tribal group there is explicitly designed to _not_ match a real world tribal group, so they were trying to make original artwork/clothing/weapons/etc. to match their mythology (which is tied in explicitly to the flower and the mutations it would cause).

    Resident Evil Lore Expert here:
    1st: There actually is lore for the blonde woman, however it's not in the game. There was promotional material in the form of a blog from the perspective of a man living in Kijuju, who mentions the woman.
    2nd: Las Plagas isn't a virus, it's a parasite.
    3rd: The C-virus was not developed by Wesker, but rather by Derek Simmons with the help of a scientist by the name of Carla Radames for the purpose of cloning Ada Wong (Simmons never got over her rejecting him) and ensuring a sort of "world order" in the name of an Illuminati type group. While some of the data developed from Plagas helped with the development of the C-virus, Plagas itself is not present in RE6. Unlike Plagas, which are administered by injecting an egg or shoving a Plaga into someone's mouth, C-virus is only spread in a gaseous form. The first use of it was in a manga called Marhawa Desire, which was intended to be a prequel to 6.
    4th: Kirk, or Hat Trick, is an amazing pilot, he gave Jill the awesome present of a rocket launcher in Revelations so she could shoot an infected whale.
    5th: I have not heard anyone complain about when Leon and Krauser killed zombie hispanics created by a cartel leader in Darkside Chronicles, at least not to this degree.

    I just replayed it in coop on whatever is the hardest difficulty and the first part of the game is actually solid. There are some big open areas that you have to navigate and are open to exploration, although inventory itself is bad, I think the economy and management of it has potential if done right which they didn't. It was fun, until we reached the second part where the game for some reason become an extremely linear corridor shooter which REALLY works against every mechanic in the game lmao.

      I've got no clue how people still click and visit sites like IGN. There might be small hidden nuggets of useful info about game codes or release dates possibly but aside from that if you're giving them web traffic through their rage bait articles then you're feeding into them making more. It's like anything nowadays, the best way to show a company you don't like what they're doing is to stop funding them and giving them the necessary attention for them to continue doing what you don't like. It's just a numbers game and even if the people who know how to change it don't engage there will always be idiots who just want to engage with it and have pointless arguments online, feeding into the crap fest. The idiots get their fill of arguments to feel superior and the company get their traffic and money

    Theres no way they keep many of the scenes from the original. The most obvious one where after Chris mows down a horde of Africans, Shalimar quips something like " those zombies got a little too close there Chris" and Chris is all like "Zombies!? What zombies? 😎"

    @TheAkrillion 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +19

    I love RE5 and I LOVE Sheva so much! I genuinely don't think I've played as Chris outside of beating the campaign as him on the first run. RE5 was never racist. Yeah, it's pretty ass in the survival horror aspect, but everything else is REALLY FUCKING GOOD!
    EDIT: also to be fair about the tribal stuff, RE4's castle cultists did go back to their medieval roots, so it's not like it's just the RE5 marsh tribe being that way. You could say it's one of the ways the Las Plagas virus affects its victims.

    I remember playing this as a kid. I dont see how it’s racist. Sure you’re shooting a bunch of Africans…but like the setting takes place in Africa. Like if it took place in Asia, you’d shoot Asians, it takes place Europe, you’d be mowing down a bunch of Europeans. That’s like saying cods racist because where over in Afghanistan or whatever shooting Muslims or whoever. None of it makes sense to me

    If they rerelease the game, I’d like to see the mechanic that they advertised in the early build.
    The sun blindness & fatigue/sanity.
    They abandoned it in the later builds;
    But it was an interesting idea.

      There was another mechanic that wasn't used in the final build but is present in one of the trailers without Sheva (before the inclusion of her as a partner) in which Chris could actually dodge or parry enemies before. It would be cool if they include it.
