As an American, all the left cares about is melanin. It’s the most simplistic worldview you can imagine. Yet they defend it vehemently. It’s like arguing with flat earthers.
Czech developer: makes a historically-acurate video game based on their own cultural heritage and on real historical facts. Some woke Californian: And I took that personally.
@@Trashman_Len Most "conservative" Californians are pretty woke as well. Your average Republican in California may bitch and moan about gun control and high taxes but he will still welcome illegal aliens with open arms and won't bat an eye at racial quotas in business, transgender ideology being mandatory in elementary schools, and is perfectly okay with abortion on demand.
What’s infuriating is that if you replace “Czech” with , they will fawn over how brave and magical it is. Race fetishisation is the new mantra of the western left. Vomit-inducing, self-destructive hypocrisy implying white cultures are beneath non-white ones.
@@edelweiss45 How exactly is a military pact related to the history of a country and the cultural colonization and vandalism another country is committing to it? NATO doesn't force any changes in our culture. nor does it deny it. Nor does it attack it.
But kosher people do give a shit about it. They don't mix with others. But others have to mix with each other to become more diverse. Funny, huh? Chinese games have to many "white" people - Genshin Impact - and Japanese history needs to be rewritten - Yasuke was a gay samurai from Africa, who was big hero, and there were many black slaves in Japan. It's also funny if you start thinking about fall of Rome. Who invented christianity and for what purpose? Why Rome fell after not even 100 years after becoming christian? Do Romans had any problems with identity like in modern times? Was Rome culture replaced and demolished by christians? Who and for what purpose invented islam? Why it conquered all of the Arabia? And why both "religions" stem from Judaism? But most important part. Why Arabia is being destabilized? Wake up mate. Pora zrozumieć o co w tym wszystkim chodzi. christian and muslim countries had their supervisors - shalom! - who supervised globalization of "unfaithful" people. Funny you can't her about Sons of David in far East as much as in Europe and West. I wonder why?
As argentinean whose countrymen won the football world cup and the first thing the "american" media said was "they dont deserve it they are all white", i say, dont give them importance, those who care for "racism"(if can even consider that a real word as WE ARE ALL part of the SAME RACE) those are the real "racist" they dont believe their own words they want to to hit headlines and have some kind of "moral" high ground. This are egocentric and narcissist people that hide behind easy to appeal arguments with no regards for context or even if it fits the concersation, you should give them no attention
Meanwhile if you put a brazilian Miku there they will also be offended at her being tanned not black, theres no pleasing these people they are best ignored and sidelined.
😢 oh no. Don't you hate it when you get soggy feet from the kangaroo pouch :P as an Austrian. I get some weird questions from Americans, because their education sucks.
“KC lacks diversity and the basic respect of politically correct speech, and uses problematic imagery of other peoples and non inclusive religious themes…” I already told you that I liked KC, you don’t have to sell it to me.
They really are trying to colonise the world with their cultural dogma, and it’s genuinely disgusting. Apparently all Media is problematic and must be attacked, if there’s no Africans, Disabled people, and transgender people in it. It’s such a sickening mindset. American Leftists are literally obsessed with it.
IMHO the main core of this problematics is the US christian notion for perception of morality and good/bad as objective absolutes, rather than distinguishing between various contexts. Similar to how painting your face black is not offensive at all without the context of history of brutally racist blackface cinema in the US.
Amazing video. As an American, I just wanted to point out that the vast majority of Americans don’t think like American journalists, and we genuinely agree with you Europeans regarding the ethnic and historical intricacies involved in this game. Hope that brings you a little bit of peace!
Saying you don't speak english was tried. It ended pretty badly for the article written on Wukong... IGN just google translated idioms and took them literally. Basically, it was like the devs saying an idiom like "the pot calling the kettle black", and then IGN taking it literally and saying the devs are a bunch of racists because they used the "black" word...
The anachronistic forcing of "diversity" into any historical work, not even just games, is absolutely absurd and shows a complete lack of respect for other cultures and the people that lived in them. I found your analysis refreshing and grounded in logic. You have earned a subscriber.
@@NotaFollower11 It also had Cumans, Gay people in historically accurate depictions (Eric, Toth and the monk) and several very strong women (Theresa, Johanka, Lady Stephany and Antonia working her ass off to keep her husband alive).
The sheer ignorance of saying there's no diversity when there are literal nomadic cumans from the steppe of central asia, alongside Germans, Czechs, Poles, catholics and hussites... Thats 100x more diverse than a bunch of monolingual English speaking Americans that have a different skin tone
They have lived too long in the Outhouse and the stink has become what is normal for them. Everything and everyone else now has to live in the Outhouse too or it scares them.
Because they don't know of any other way to try and keep themselves relevant. The opposite would actually require a level of competence which they don't have.
As an African American I think this is soooo stupid. I would rather be immersed in the realistic history and setting than to be pandered to. People just love to be outraged out here in the US. Most of us “blacks” really could care less lol…. Also as a side note, a lot of us Americans don’t really understand how truly diverse Europe actually is. There seems to be an inability to distinguish race/ ethnicity so what ends up happening is people here only see color, not realizing there are numerous different ethnicities within Europe . But don’t worry some of us understand the complexities of Europe (somewhat)
Were you a natural born African citizen that immigrated to America? If not then you are not African American. African American has nothing to do with skin color. A perfect example of a African American is Elon Musk. Natural born African citizen that immigrated to America.
this is a great comment, thank you very much! Indeed the black shouldn't be made feel like victims after all those years, for political profit I might add. Instead I always focus on the great black people that are proud and optimistic like you, dear sir! Have a wonderful day!
9:20. This. I'm brazilian, we have SERIOUS problems with representation here, there are very few black actors, for example. However, if I'm interested in 1400s Bohemia, i don't want it portrayed as 2024 California.
One of the reasons I enjoyed KCD was how immersive and believable their world was. Even more importantly how it didn't feel the need to insert a modern 'checkbox' type character to fit current Western narrative. If was a breath of fresh air to play something like this honestly.
Lets be honest, they dont actually care about indigenous people in the US really, its mainly just about inserting African Americans into everything, while still ignoring basically every other minority group in the US including South and East Asians and Central and South Americans
When the first game came out I remember people HATING because there wasn't any "diversity" because it was "too white" as if this game wasn't extremely historically accurate. I'm not shocked it's happening again. This time we know it's not people hating, it's journalists and blue haired people on Twitter that were never gonna play the game to begin with
In the 1991 Kevin Costner Robin Hood movie it had to explained, why a Black man is in the movie. 30 years later the movie makers pretend as if they were always in Europe. *spits out disgusted*

I had a nightmare last night: The storywriters of "The Witcher" series teamed up with some IGN journalist to promote the KCP series they came up with. 🥶
@@Embrod There is a MASSIVE difference between a fantasy setting and a historical setting. A fantasy setting builds on the very concept of a world apart from ours, where different rules apply and history happened differently. Especially in a world with magic or other intelligent species, all sorts of stuff is possible. So it is viable to also assume that cultural migration routes and even genetics might work differently to what is the norm in our world. In a historical setting though, the parameters are mostly set in stone. It's a much less flexible narrative construct, and people expect it to behave in a certain way.
No game or movie should ever try to be inclusive or more diverse when labeled “historically accurate”. It needs to historically portrayed to the times and civilization for that period. Especially because the developer has already stated it’s shooting for historical accuracy. If you make a game in the future or present then by all means make it how you want. But anything in the past in my opinion that portrays a real life event that occurred should portray the accuracies of the time especially for the younger audiences that can actually visually learn customs, heritages and culture of that time.
How to combat this? Make a medieval game sets in africa and put a bunch of white characters who are also a key to the story, if they complain, just use the diversity card
The whole reason all this shit started is because of 'whitewashing' back in the day, but now they want to 'blackwash' everything to make up for it, it's so dumb...
The bigger problem that everyone in Europe is facing is losing our own individual cultures to America imposing it’s culture globally. From brands to food suppliers to now even our language.
Not America, this is post modernist neo Marxist ideology that originates from the Frankfurt and Parisian schools. It has taken hold over much of western Europe and North America. It's a poison.
I’m Canadian and I’m tired of hearing about “diversity” no where in the world except western countries is there diversity, but it never seems to be enough. This is a game based on historical facts not leftist ideology. Good video.
It's true though. Kingdom Come 1 definitely has way too low diversity of mushroom species. Czechs are a nation of mushroom pickers! And there are only two (edible) types?!

Fun fact: you're playing as a furry. Kinda dislike how this isn't addressed more especially since people seem to really hate furry so much online, it has actually deprived the genre of content.
I am an American who appreciates what KCD is. Sadly, as a rule, Americans are woefully ignorant of Central European history, it's something we have to study on our own. I was fortunate enough to be raised in an area that had many proud Czech, decended mostly from immigrant miners. The game has me constantly searching because of conversation heard in game, early on someone mentioned Jan Hus to Henry, I looked him up and learned something. I learned what Clerical Concubinage was because of this game. This happens all the time, I really enjoy that. I applaud Warhorse standing firm.
@@talaniel Well for example my grandma from Poland lived in various cities including the capital and never saw a black person😂 Only recently there are some and its very rare seeing them I did not seen them in Poland.
I mean let's be honest, America calls blacks "African American" even when none of their ancestors came from Africa or the person they talk about don't even live in America. America is a real life satire
Europeans described by Europeans: Germans, French, Danes, Swedes, Hungarians, Czechs, Slovaks etc. etc. etc.... Europeans described by Americans: white Africans described by Africans: Nigerians, Congolese, Somalis, Ethiopians, Egyptians, etc. etc. etc Africans described by Americans: black American culture will be the end of the world.
As a black American who's been to Nigeria, Nigeria alone has HUNDREDS of different ethnic groups/tribes. I understand the simplification of identification of people but it's something that SHOULD STAY IN AMERICA!
as a white man with 2% Nigerian blood (thanks to an ancestor being one of Captain Cook's crew), and otherwise being a typical european mutt whose great-grandmother immigrated from Bavaria in the 1870s, I can tell you that most americans can scarcely find their own state on a map of the US, much less know jack shit about any other part of the world. And sadly, most of those considered "educated", could care less about knowing other cultures beyond what they see in the movies.
@@jrt2792 Yeah, it is insane how many ethnic and cultural groups are within Africa, it is a HUGE continent after all. Nigeria is also a big country as well; thus why there are so many groups. Some of the Paradox games like Europa Universalis and Victoria do have more details on the diversity which is how I got introduced into that information. I just found a harvard interactive ethnic map of africa and checked some of the main groups in Nigeria: Bantoid, Cushtic, Kru, Gbata, Bantu, Fufulde, and each of these are just an ethnic family with these having dozens of ethnicities within. That would be like if every county in the USA was considered a different ethnicity.
I watched this Asian American girl explore this idea in a video a little while back. Her theory was that because there aren't large ground of say, Chinese people around, they broaden the groups they identify with to also include Koreans, Laotians, Vietnamese, etc. Same thing with any other race, you won't find a Zulu or a Slovak neighbourhood in the US, so instead they're just black and white Americans, fitting in with all the other mismatched groups. I can't comment on how that works towards building a society because I'm a Dane who grew up in an almost exclusively Danish area in Denmark, but with that perspective I definitely can say that kind of thinking absolutely does not work outside the US. It's reductionist, generalising and frankly kind of racist to just paint everyone who looks a certain way as being a part of one group.
@@plebisMaximus There are areas in North America where there is a dominant ethnic group. Like in Louisiana where there was a french colony until it was sold. The people there have unique accent and culture. Where I live around the NA praries there is a lot of central european migrants and some areas were more heavily influenced by whichever group mostly settled there. However, there is a lot of melting pot going on especially in the cities.
Haven't you learned from history. Calling someone subhuman isn't going to help. You need to debate these people, only exposing and discussing bad ideas will prevent more bad ideas. Rather than completely stopping the discourse. If the discourses stop then violence follows. Because one side or both don't see each other as human anymore, therefore anything is permitted to reach the goal
The way kcd 1 represented woman was also more authentic and accurate for the time period, theresa saving henry was an example of a strong female character without that stereotypical feminist girl boss of todays media. And also the way Ladie stephanie was portrayed shows the troubles a noble woman had during that time. Kcd is infact diverse but it is an authentic diversity instead of that generic boring "diversity" that woke culture wants to force down our throats!
@@nomisum woke diversity is what causes your police patrolling the streets with assault rifles and military having to be on tourist sites. Woke diversity is completely wrong in all aspects. There is nothing good in it.
As a Black man I’m sick to death of this woke nonsense. When I play a game set in medieval Europe, I create a white character. When I play a Viking set game, I make a huge Blond guy, without a top, holding an Axe and a big beard. Seeing myself “represented” is not even on my list of what I want from a game., especially if its set in a specific historical setting.
If it's set in medieval Europe you can of course play a white character, or if it's in Spain an Arab or Berber. In Scandinavia you could also play as a Sami or in Eastern Europe as a Mongol or Ottoman.
Were there Gypsies in 1403 Bohemia? I thought they came a little later. I know they entered Europe around a century earlier, but I didn't know they had already arrived in Czechia by that time.
@@ikad5229 Fair point, I think romani people were around mid 14th century, so 1403 could eventualy mean they were in Kutná Hora and around. But it really depends, I'd guess.
Honestly, as a Czech person myself, I think that modern american media cannot even comprehend terms like: "Authentic" or "Believable" or "Historical accuracy". They seem to always handwave these arguments away like they are meaningless... But honestly - IGN had a pretty bad reputation in Czech republic even before the release of the first KCD game - their opinion won't likely change anything...

@@jmgonzales7701 Just like the Bulgarians the Hungarians didn't "originate" in Europe and moved to Europe from beyond the Ural Mountains into modern day Hungaria around 900AD so yeah they have some Asian influence, because they technically started off in Asia as a culture(we are speaking > 2000 years of history, so a lot of modern Hungarian culture was developed in Europe).

There is no Blacks or trans dont you get it if you are white they dont care. Diverse for them is black and gay. The more black and gay something is even if its 100% Blacks and gays the more diverse it is. The more white there is = less diverse
The core of the issue is that the American civilian not only doesn’t care about history, they have an active antipathy towards history. This is for a couple major reasons: first, Americans dislike history because their country has very little history of its own, and the more that one digs into history and studies history the more that one realizes that America is not exceptional, and that America Americans are not remarkable. this flies in the face of the Americans civilian typically believes, so they avoid history altogether. Secondly, Americans like to think of reality in terms of cinema and the performance of arts, because that’s where they have gotten the majority of their information for the past, several decades. Americans want to see the world like it is a movie, with clear, good guys and bad guys, simple plots that are easy to understand, etc. History is none of that, history shows us that the world is very complex and nuanced and cannot be reduced to simple plots and simple, protagonist and antagonist, and this is another reason why Americans hates history. from an American perspective, demands for diversity, representing opportunity to destroy historical accuracy in a video game, and therefore reduce the importance of history, and this is what most Americans civilians want. It’s a blessing and occurs for Americans: they can simply ignore history, but because they do ignore history, they can never be successful on the global stage against savvy opponents, who take history, seriously,
As a physical anthropologist, I find you make a number of very valid points, in an articulate and calm manner. As a French citizen who took some time to learn the basic of Central and Eastern Europe history, I find your depiction of the cultural and ethnic mix of this part of the world useful for people who did not learn. Finally, I am also fed up with this racial discourse. It’s nonsense. In France, we are a nation of different ethnicities and cultures that managed to build a common ground, most of the time through negociaction, sometimes through an inordinate amount of violence. But the fact is that we have not only Italians, Poles, White Russians, Hungarians, Germans, Walloons, Normands (Northmen), Brittons, Aquitanians, Basques, Gallo-romans, Provençals, Catalans, Franks and so on, but also Gypsies, Viets, Mongs, Berbers, Kabyls, Lebanese, Armenians, Polynesians, Kanaks (the majority wants to remain French), Mahorians, Senegaleses, and so much more. Most people mingle and interact without trouble, even though a minority is stirring up trouble. We had a president from Hungarian origin (Sarkozy), a White Russian prime minister (Bérégovoy) and a host of celebrities, artists and scientists from all over the world, like Marie Curie (a Polish immigrant), Charles Aznavour (Armenian), and Gabriel and Marie Yacoub (Lebanese). If the left parties had not been so hell bent on not negociating with anybody, we could had have a Prime Minister of Maghreban descent. The man who instigated the foundation of the Francophonie, an institution regrouping all countries using the French language to various extents, was Léopold Sédar Senghor, the first President of the Republic of Senegal. So, yeah, I feel you when you feel insulted by these people’s claims. We don’t have lessons to take from a political faction that gives race so much importance. And like you said, we do know to which horrors this obsession leads.
As a Hungarian I dont have any problem with "us being Portrayed as bad guys" If anything I'm happy they took the time with the game and include us and the Cumans. Love the game.
'Small part of the American left-wing'...I wish. This stuff is everywhere over here in America. Protect your culture and way of life, because that will be their target.
don't worry, what you see now is their global death throws, can't say you guys will be freed from them but the rest of the world is pretty much done with being told what to do by a corporate elite in the US that just wants to ensure their own power over everyone else. US economic and militairy might will remain but cultural hegemony is being dropped
That's because that small part happens to own media and most major corporations via owning major Financial institutions. It doesn't matter what the people think, this is what the handful with money believe. The Larry Finks of the world believe in forced diversity and believe its their duty to force everyone else to follow their views.
Can you PLEASE stop spreading that fake news wokeism was left? Left wing means, in the interest of the working class. Wokeism is COMPLETELY in the interest of the ruling class, AGAINST the working class. Wokeism IS NOT LEFT! Doing the bidding of WEF is NOT LEFT! Globalism IS NOT internationalism!
As an American leftist, I can tell you that MOST of us agree with you entirely and would never even DREAM about injecting race into a historical game. The leftists you are hearing from are a minority, and we don't like them either.
I’m Hungarian and I found it cool af that Hungarians were the enemies. Just like Bohemia don’t get much representation in popular media, Hungarians don’t get much more either. I was caught off-guard by the Hungarian speech in the game and I think it is absolutely amazing!

Lithuanian here. Our criminal code has an offense in it named "Publicly endorsing, denying or grossly disparaging international crimes, crimes committed by the USSR or Nazi Germany". There are also fines for displaying nazi or communist symbols. It's not illegal to talk about it as long as you're not publicly supporting those ideas. And yeah, our people, the same as other nations in mid/eastern Europe, suffered horrendously from those regimes.
The same article exists in the polish penal code. Also additional one outright penalized endorisng fascist, nazi, communist or any other totalitarian ideology or political system.
Thanks jogarasas and BulaOKH I Just learned something new.

As an American right leaning individual, the ultra liberal is tanking American entertainment. Playing KCD has been a breath of fresh air, not because everyone is white, but because it is written historically accurately and, as an American, not political. Every American needs to visit another country, so many of us have no idea that the world is larger than the US.
The woke liberal left is the reason why I found out about KCD and preordered it without doing any research on it and to this day I don't regret that decision. The game was challenging at first but once I got the hang of the combat system, it became not exactly easy but pretty doable and fun. The story itself was also really good in my opinion. I got no problem preordering KCD2 for the same exact reason. Any game that offends the woke left and doesn't bend the knee is worth supporting even if the game doesn't turn out good.
Instead of making a game about Africans or Black individuals, the Left demand to put them in every project regardless of history. There are fascinating stories about Africa or black individuals but they won't make those projects.
you just need to stop with the marxisistic nonsense, education is the key. But if you commit to repeat history faults,i have to admit i'll buy a popcorn :)))
well KCD does make a few mistakes. One big one is bows. At that time in Europe or Continental Europe basically, the Bow was basically tossed into sand for the crossbow.
What the fuck are you talking about? The game is plenty Political, its very much steeped in politics & your delusional infact if you think otherwise? The politics of war, nobility, raiding & more. Knighthood, who is allowed to be what, where & why.
Anyone who fails to recognise the diversity of people beyond their skin is actually just racist. What they don't realise is that there are many many different cultures even if those different cultures consist of many of the same skin colour. Just because they are mostly one colour does not mean they are the same culture. To be so focused on skin colour that it becomes solely how they identify culture is actually absurdly closed minded. In their eyes it seems there is black culture, white culture and asian culture which is just wrong and harmful as there are so many different cultures amongst all peoples around the world. In their effort to force representation and diversify they actually alienate and segregate so many more peoples and cultures, their ignorance is truly sad.
Agree. But just cannot nitpick: people is one and also many at the same time, you dont have peoples in english. Struggled with that alot too, thats why it hurts my eyes so much 😂🫶
True, but I think its also hurting people of colour, if you see a movie where there are blacks, in jobs and positions not possible at that time in history it sort of removes that history of slavery, racism. Idk Im just yapping
Tbf - it's something different here. When making a game, movie, TV show or writing a book set in sci-fi or "current" setting, it's just about execution of it. When talking about something set in a historical setting it is basicly trying to rewrite actual history. It is offensive and even racist to the people of whose history it is set in.

I'm a american who leans more left. But I never really minded KCD or KCD 2 in this case having a lack of Diversity (in a clear way, you can make a arguement that you meet or fight a diverse range of peoples from across the area the game takes place in) I wanna emphasize a lot of the people who scream for Diversity are a minority. Sure, they could make it so Henry could he secret gay or something if they wanted for instance and I'm sure Warhouse could do it convincingly for the era the game takes place in. But KCD is fascinating as its a cultural piece, it comes from people from that area, who are telling a amazing bit of history with fictional bits (Henry existing for instance). As someone who loves history KCD is such a fantastic experience for me. Its not bogged down like most triple A games going down a check list of things that need to be in it. I am neither Czech nor straight but KCD never failed to have me feel included in the world. I felt like apart of it, knowing as much as any blacksmith boy may know, and I overall enjoyed the game more due to the lack of characters only made specifically to relate to.
As a Czech, I 100 % agree with you. I am beyond hyped that my culture is being finally represented. I dont get why are Americans trying to bring the game down. Why.
Because the existence of White people (or Japanese), anywhere or at any time, doing their own thing by themselves is a threat to them. They want to make the whole world into Los Angeles, and anything that reminds people that there is or was any other way of life is an obstacle. This is why they’re trying so hard to convince everyone that England has always had Africans, Arabs and Indians mixed in, and why they’re doing it to Czechia too.
By the way, it’s not Americans. It’s a specific group of people who control a lot of media. Europe tried to kick them out with limited success, but unfortunately they’ve done very well on this side of the Atlantic.
Well said. I’m from the Middle East. KCD1 is one of my favorite games ever. I enjoyed how historically accurate and immersive it was. It sparked interest for me in the culture it’s trying to portray.
@@xSoulhunterDKxthat would be really cool to see something like crusade era. Maybe from Caliphate perspective which is rarely being portrayed in game. Or anything historical, really.
The terminology you used in the beginning of the video is what exactly determines the underlying issue. Forced diversity by left-wing Americans. As someone who came to the KCD community very late, the one thing I have found very, very interesting is the fact that there’s diversity among HISTORICALLY ACCURATE GROUPS. KCD:2 will be even better as far as new groups to interact with, and possibly more to do that’s fleshed out. Hoping that this drama from IGN doesn’t make release get delayed 😭
well done man, that explanation on around 5:00 is the best one ive heard on yt, people are usually very scared for their yt profiles and dont want to say things as they are. Big respect to you.
Journalists are so selective with this nonsense. BG3 was not diverse at all, especially with body types, and nobody gave a shit. BG3 was oversexualized as all hell with *ideal* body types (even the bookish wizard had six pack abs) and nobody gave a shit. Other games though, they get pilloried.
They gave them bear scene for a reason. BG3 had blacks and other dei stuff tbh. But it wasn't main focus of the game. Imagine bad combat and story obsessed with the "message", no one would even touch it.
BG3 inserted all sorts of subsaharan African phenotypical traits and put women in many positions of power than have little to no historical parallels. Skin tones differ greatly from human to human. BG3 is infected with a ton of DEI and ESG based garbage. It's overwhelming when you play the game.
Bg3 was trying to be diverse just to lure the wokies, literally everyone in the team wanted to ghei me up even for the slightest kind gesture you would normally do to help a teammate
The first KCD was probably one of my favorite games that came out in that time so I'm excited for 2. I feel bad that Warhorse has to deal with the crazies from the States. Keep the crazies out and keep up the good fight for actual representation and not whatever the American Left want

You aren't wrong, but in America the left wing doesn't consider white people ethnic. There are no ethnicities or cultures in Europe. Only brown people have that.
I find it strange that certain actions, like forcing diversity, are being associated with left-wing views. Personally, I consider myself left-wing, and I agree with the historical accuracy of Kingdom Come: Deliverance (KCD1), where it’s unlikely that there were many people of color in that region during the period it portrays. Forcing diversity onto a historically specific setting like KCD2 feels more like extremism, and I don’t think this should be linked to left-wing ideology. In fact, I believe true woke individuals would understand that it wouldn’t make sense to diversify a game like KCD2 without historical justification. The term “woke” is often used as a weapon by extreme right-wing activists to blame someone or something. We see this same backlash with games like the new Ghost of Yotei, where people are calling it “woke” simply for including female fighters. But the truth is, it’s historically accurate-women, known as Onna-musha, were trained to fight during that era. A quick search will confirm this. What frustrates me is how people nowadays are quick to label others as left-wing or right-wing without doing any real research or considering historical context. These baseless accusations are troubling. I know this post might not get much attention, but if anyone does read this, I’d love to hear whether you agree or disagree-and why.
I mean I’m a “person of color” here in America, but like I’ve never cared about diversity in games, especially if the setting doesn’t call for it. Like I have no problem playing a “white” guy. I mean hell half my ancestors come from Germany. Diversity is bunk, especially to someone like me who straddles 2 cultures
when theh first announced kcd2 i was upset it was called that, as the 3 games they were going to were going to be called "kingdom come" and the deliverance part is because in that part of the story, is the deliverance of the sword to radzig. the next game was meant to be called kindgom come: ??? after the theme of that part of the story.
This. Also it's not really working in America either. He made a statement that it doesn't work where he is at. Also he said that it has a different connotation in English. No, it doesn't, at least with people with the heads on straight.
Hungarian here. I had 0 hard feelings because of how we (well more specifically the cumans) were portrayed. Listening the cumans's Hungarian dialogues was more of a comedic relief to me. A lot of people probably heard the first time about Hungary thanks to this game. In a way it was a good country image material.
@@jmgonzales7701 Sort of. Mongols invaded their land so they asked the Hungarian king to settle down in the territory of the Kingdom of Hungary in the early to mid 13th century. They became the light cavalry of the Hungarian army like the game shows. The story of kcd1 takes place in the beginning of the 15th century so in 150 years they could already speak in Hungarian, but who knows. The last cuman speaker in Hungary died in the 18th century so their language is extinct. Probably it was easier to the devs to just make them speak Hungarian as it is not possible to reproduce their language.
I mean, why feel offended when its historically accurate? Im german, i have no issues with the depiction of nazis as evil bastards in media. Its not an insult if its true.
I’m so sick of “racial diversity, DEI” in media, there’s ways to do it without being offensive but it doesn’t belong in every piece of media like they want and usually it’s just them taking a beloved character or franchise and making them black with pink hair. It’s ridiculous and like you said disrespectful to the actual characters/franchise/history of said media.
As an American I would like to apologize for the idiocy of the American political left; not all we Americans are such infantile and easily offended snowflakes . As a history buff I appreciate Warhorse's commitment to historical accuracy. Love the video, very well articulated.

The problem is, those that are doing this don't see themselves as "evil". In fact, they see those that are resisting this as evil. They're using the controversy they created to prove that "evil" exists simply by virtue of the rest of us not wanting it. It's a sad state of affairs when the delusional cause problems just so that they can support their delusions...
Depends on what game and how its done. In Dota2 there is so much diversity every hero is completely unique with all having different backgrounds, and in the comics you can see that many places in the world are a hodge podge of cultures interacting. I personally love that Venomancer with his voicelines of, nothing touches the heart like my venom, sweet toxicity, its in my nature, its ultimetly just a talking animal from the poison jungle. But yea the Dota2 world is a fantastical one, throwing wrong peoples in the wrong places and times in a historic game ruins everything.

There was also a polish guy if i remember correctly.

It's also funny if you start thinking about fall of Rome. Who invented christianity and for what purpose? Why Rome fell after not even 100 years after becoming christian? Do Romans had any problems with identity like in modern times? Was Rome culture replaced and demolished by christians? Who and for what purpose invented islam? Why it conquered all of the Arabia?

Most of us “blacks” really could care less lol…. Also as a side note, a lot of us Americans don’t really understand how truly diverse Europe actually is. There seems to be an inability to distinguish race/ ethnicity so what ends up happening is people here only see color, not realizing there are numerous different ethnicities within Europe . But don’t worry some of us understand the complexities of Europe (somewhat)

@@Embrod There is a MASSIVE difference between a fantasy setting and a historical setting. A fantasy setting builds on the very concept of a world apart from ours, where different rules apply and history happened differently. Especially in a world with magic or other intelligent species, all sorts of stuff is possible. So it is viable to also assume that cultural migration routes and even genetics might work differently to what is the norm in our world.
In a historical setting though, the parameters are mostly set in stone. It's a much less flexible narrative construct, and people expect it to behave in a certain way.

No game or movie should ever try to be inclusive or more diverse when labeled “historically accurate”. It needs to historically portrayed to the times and civilization for that period. Especially because the developer has already stated it’s shooting for historical accuracy.
If you make a game in the future or present then by all means make it how you want. But anything in the past in my opinion that portrays a real life event that occurred should portray the accuracies of the time especially for the younger audiences that can actually visually learn customs, heritages and culture of that time.

@@jrt2792 Yeah, it is insane how many ethnic and cultural groups are within Africa, it is a HUGE continent after all. Nigeria is also a big country as well; thus why there are so many groups.
Some of the Paradox games like Europa Universalis and Victoria do have more details on the diversity which is how I got introduced into that information.
I just found a harvard interactive ethnic map of africa and checked some of the main groups in Nigeria: Bantoid, Cushtic, Kru, Gbata, Bantu, Fufulde, and each of these are just an ethnic family with these having dozens of ethnicities within. That would be like if every county in the USA was considered a different ethnicity.
I watched this Asian American girl explore this idea in a video a little while back. Her theory was that because there aren't large ground of say, Chinese people around, they broaden the groups they identify with to also include Koreans, Laotians, Vietnamese, etc. Same thing with any other race, you won't find a Zulu or a Slovak neighbourhood in the US, so instead they're just black and white Americans, fitting in with all the other mismatched groups. I can't comment on how that works towards building a society because I'm a Dane who grew up in an almost exclusively Danish area in Denmark, but with that perspective I definitely can say that kind of thinking absolutely does not work outside the US. It's reductionist, generalising and frankly kind of racist to just paint everyone who looks a certain way as being a part of one group.

@@jmgonzales7701 Just like the Bulgarians the Hungarians didn't "originate" in Europe and moved to Europe from beyond the Ural Mountains into modern day Hungaria around 900AD so yeah they have some Asian influence, because they technically started off in Asia as a culture(we are speaking > 2000 years of history, so a lot of modern Hungarian culture was developed in Europe).

Problem is that most Americans can't comprehend what Ethnicity means
@@teaser6089to be quite fair, we europeans should not care about american ignorance
The core of the issue is that the American civilian not only doesn’t care about history, they have an active antipathy towards history. This is for a couple major reasons: first, Americans dislike history because their country has very little history of its own, and the more that one digs into history and studies history the more that one realizes that America is not exceptional, and that America Americans are not remarkable. this flies in the face of the Americans civilian typically believes, so they avoid history altogether. Secondly, Americans like to think of reality in terms of cinema and the performance of arts, because that’s where they have gotten the majority of their information for the past, several decades. Americans want to see the world like it is a movie, with clear, good guys and bad guys, simple plots that are easy to understand, etc. History is none of that, history shows us that the world is very complex and nuanced and cannot be reduced to simple plots and simple, protagonist and antagonist, and this is another reason why Americans hates history.
from an American perspective, demands for diversity, representing opportunity to destroy historical accuracy in a video game, and therefore reduce the importance of history, and this is what most Americans civilians want. It’s a blessing and occurs for Americans: they can simply ignore history, but because they do ignore history, they can never be successful on the global stage against savvy opponents, who take history, seriously,
Concord was diverse enough so nobody wanted to play it but the 27 game journos.

If they want diversity they can go play Star Wars 🤮 keep KCD historical!!!
As a physical anthropologist, I find you make a number of very valid points, in an articulate and calm manner.
As a French citizen who took some time to learn the basic of Central and Eastern Europe history, I find your depiction of the cultural and ethnic mix of this part of the world useful for people who did not learn.
Finally, I am also fed up with this racial discourse. It’s nonsense. In France, we are a nation of different ethnicities and cultures that managed to build a common ground, most of the time through negociaction, sometimes through an inordinate amount of violence. But the fact is that we have not only Italians, Poles, White Russians, Hungarians, Germans, Walloons, Normands (Northmen), Brittons, Aquitanians, Basques, Gallo-romans, Provençals, Catalans, Franks and so on, but also Gypsies, Viets, Mongs, Berbers, Kabyls, Lebanese, Armenians, Polynesians, Kanaks (the majority wants to remain French), Mahorians, Senegaleses, and so much more.
Most people mingle and interact without trouble, even though a minority is stirring up trouble.
We had a president from Hungarian origin (Sarkozy), a White Russian prime minister (Bérégovoy) and a host of celebrities, artists and scientists from all over the world, like Marie Curie (a Polish immigrant), Charles Aznavour (Armenian), and Gabriel and Marie Yacoub (Lebanese). If the left parties had not been so hell bent on not negociating with anybody, we could had have a Prime Minister of Maghreban descent. The man who instigated the foundation of the Francophonie, an institution regrouping all countries using the French language to various extents, was Léopold Sédar Senghor, the first President of the Republic of Senegal.
So, yeah, I feel you when you feel insulted by these people’s claims. We don’t have lessons to take from a political faction that gives race so much importance. And like you said, we do know to which horrors this obsession leads.

I’m Hungarian and I found it cool af that Hungarians were the enemies. Just like Bohemia don’t get much representation in popular media, Hungarians don’t get much more either. I was caught off-guard by the Hungarian speech in the game and I think it is absolutely amazing!

Games like this should be historically accurate. Period.
Lithuanian here. Our criminal code has an offense in it named "Publicly endorsing, denying or grossly disparaging international crimes, crimes committed by the USSR or Nazi Germany". There are also fines for displaying nazi or communist symbols. It's not illegal to talk about it as long as you're not publicly supporting those ideas. And yeah, our people, the same as other nations in mid/eastern Europe, suffered horrendously from those regimes.
The same article exists in the polish penal code. Also additional one outright penalized endorisng fascist, nazi, communist or any other totalitarian ideology or political system.
Thanks jogarasas and BulaOKH

As an American right leaning individual, the ultra liberal is tanking American entertainment. Playing KCD has been a breath of fresh air, not because everyone is white, but because it is written historically accurately and, as an American, not political.
Every American needs to visit another country, so many of us have no idea that the world is larger than the US.
The woke liberal left is the reason why I found out about KCD and preordered it without doing any research on it and to this day I don't regret that decision. The game was challenging at first but once I got the hang of the combat system, it became not exactly easy but pretty doable and fun. The story itself was also really good in my opinion. I got no problem preordering KCD2 for the same exact reason. Any game that offends the woke left and doesn't bend the knee is worth supporting even if the game doesn't turn out good.
Instead of making a game about Africans or Black individuals, the Left demand to put them in every project regardless of history. There are fascinating stories about Africa or black individuals but they won't make those projects.
you just need to stop with the marxisistic nonsense, education is the key. But if you commit to repeat history faults,i have to admit i'll buy a popcorn :)))
well KCD does make a few mistakes. One big one is bows. At that time in Europe or Continental Europe basically, the Bow was basically tossed into sand for the crossbow.
What the fuck are you talking about? The game is plenty Political, its very much steeped in politics & your delusional infact if you think otherwise? The politics of war, nobility, raiding & more. Knighthood, who is allowed to be what, where & why.
Anyone who fails to recognise the diversity of people beyond their skin is actually just racist. What they don't realise is that there are many many different cultures even if those different cultures consist of many of the same skin colour. Just because they are mostly one colour does not mean they are the same culture. To be so focused on skin colour that it becomes solely how they identify culture is actually absurdly closed minded. In their eyes it seems there is black culture, white culture and asian culture which is just wrong and harmful as there are so many different cultures amongst all peoples around the world. In their effort to force representation and diversify they actually alienate and segregate so many more peoples and cultures, their ignorance is truly sad.

than stop it finally, rest of the world will thank you
Tbf - it's something different here. When making a game, movie, TV show or writing a book set in sci-fi or "current" setting, it's just about execution of it.
When talking about something set in a historical setting it is basicly trying to rewrite actual history. It is offensive and even racist to the people of whose history it is set in.

I'm a american who leans more left. But I never really minded KCD or KCD 2 in this case having a lack of Diversity (in a clear way, you can make a arguement that you meet or fight a diverse range of peoples from across the area the game takes place in) I wanna emphasize a lot of the people who scream for Diversity are a minority. Sure, they could make it so Henry could he secret gay or something if they wanted for instance and I'm sure Warhouse could do it convincingly for the era the game takes place in. But KCD is fascinating as its a cultural piece, it comes from people from that area, who are telling a amazing bit of history with fictional bits (Henry existing for instance). As someone who loves history KCD is such a fantastic experience for me. Its not bogged down like most triple A games going down a check list of things that need to be in it. I am neither Czech nor straight but KCD never failed to have me feel included in the world. I felt like apart of it, knowing as much as any blacksmith boy may know, and I overall enjoyed the game more due to the lack of characters only made specifically to relate to.
As a Czech, I 100 % agree with you. I am beyond hyped that my culture is being finally represented. I dont get why are Americans trying to bring the game down. Why.
I don't see Americans doing that. It's just loud speakers on the internet. Most Americans just want a good game.
As and American I can say its not us it's the weirdos that force their agenda into every media for the last few years
Because the existence of White people (or Japanese), anywhere or at any time, doing their own thing by themselves is a threat to them. They want to make the whole world into Los Angeles, and anything that reminds people that there is or was any other way of life is an obstacle. This is why they’re trying so hard to convince everyone that England has always had Africans, Arabs and Indians mixed in, and why they’re doing it to Czechia too.
By the way, it’s not Americans. It’s a specific group of people who control a lot of media. Europe tried to kick them out with limited success, but unfortunately they’ve done very well on this side of the Atlantic.
@@MrCedarPawn Amen! Someone speaking the truth for once.

The terminology you used in the beginning of the video is what exactly determines the underlying issue. Forced diversity by left-wing Americans. As someone who came to the KCD community very late, the one thing I have found very, very interesting is the fact that there’s diversity among HISTORICALLY ACCURATE GROUPS. KCD:2 will be even better as far as new groups to interact with, and possibly more to do that’s fleshed out. Hoping that this drama from IGN doesn’t make release get delayed 😭
well done man, that explanation on around 5:00 is the best one ive heard on yt, people are usually very scared for their yt profiles and dont want to say things as they are. Big respect to you.
Journalists are so selective with this nonsense. BG3 was not diverse at all, especially with body types, and nobody gave a shit. BG3 was oversexualized as all hell with *ideal* body types (even the bookish wizard had six pack abs) and nobody gave a shit.
Other games though, they get pilloried.
They gave them bear scene for a reason. BG3 had blacks and other dei stuff tbh. But it wasn't main focus of the game. Imagine bad combat and story obsessed with the "message", no one would even touch it.
BG3 inserted all sorts of subsaharan African phenotypical traits and put women in many positions of power than have little to no historical parallels. Skin tones differ greatly from human to human. BG3 is infected with a ton of DEI and ESG based garbage. It's overwhelming when you play the game.

As a SE Asian, Europe's already multicultural and multiethnic well before modern times.
You aren't wrong, but in America the left wing doesn't consider white people ethnic. There are no ethnicities or cultures in Europe. Only brown people have that.
I find it strange that certain actions, like forcing diversity, are being associated with left-wing views. Personally, I consider myself left-wing, and I agree with the historical accuracy of Kingdom Come: Deliverance (KCD1), where it’s unlikely that there were many people of color in that region during the period it portrays. Forcing diversity onto a historically specific setting like KCD2 feels more like extremism, and I don’t think this should be linked to left-wing ideology.
In fact, I believe true woke individuals would understand that it wouldn’t make sense to diversify a game like KCD2 without historical justification. The term “woke” is often used as a weapon by extreme right-wing activists to blame someone or something. We see this same backlash with games like the new Ghost of Yotei, where people are calling it “woke” simply for including female fighters. But the truth is, it’s historically accurate-women, known as Onna-musha, were trained to fight during that era. A quick search will confirm this.
What frustrates me is how people nowadays are quick to label others as left-wing or right-wing without doing any real research or considering historical context. These baseless accusations are troubling.
I know this post might not get much attention, but if anyone does read this, I’d love to hear whether you agree or disagree-and why.
I mean I’m a “person of color” here in America, but like I’ve never cared about diversity in games, especially if the setting doesn’t call for it. Like I have no problem playing a “white” guy. I mean hell half my ancestors come from Germany. Diversity is bunk, especially to someone like me who straddles 2 cultures
Couldn't have said it better myself!
when theh first announced kcd2 i was upset it was called that, as the 3 games they were going to were going to be called "kingdom come" and the deliverance part is because in that part of the story, is the deliverance of the sword to radzig. the next game was meant to be called kindgom come: ??? after the theme of that part of the story.

Hungarian here. I had 0 hard feelings because of how we (well more specifically the cumans) were portrayed. Listening the cumans's Hungarian dialogues was more of a comedic relief to me. A lot of people probably heard the first time about Hungary thanks to this game. In a way it was a good country image material.
grrrrr
I'd really like to know that the cumans said, is there a translation? 😀
arent the cumans suppose to be asian or at least had a lineage to the mongols? correct me if I'm wrong
@@jmgonzales7701 Sort of. Mongols invaded their land so they asked the Hungarian king to settle down in the territory of the Kingdom of Hungary in the early to mid 13th century. They became the light cavalry of the Hungarian army like the game shows. The story of kcd1 takes place in the beginning of the 15th century so in 150 years they could already speak in Hungarian, but who knows. The last cuman speaker in Hungary died in the 18th century so their language is extinct. Probably it was easier to the devs to just make them speak Hungarian as it is not possible to reproduce their language.
I mean, why feel offended when its historically accurate? Im german, i have no issues with the depiction of nazis as evil bastards in media. Its not an insult if its true.
I’m so sick of “racial diversity, DEI” in media, there’s ways to do it without being offensive but it doesn’t belong in every piece of media like they want and usually it’s just them taking a beloved character or franchise and making them black with pink hair.
