"A few weirdos on the Internet used Photoshop, so now we're ragebaiting it for engagement to make a few pennies on X."

Feels a bit of a weird take... One of the most liked, shared etc video game trailers of all time which is also the least white but because some percentage of people are goofs, gamers as a whole are evil?

It'd be like saying all the fediverse is tankie crazies because .ml exists.

I get we like our pitchforks and any attempt to villainize folks but this feels pretty thin.

Fake outrage, Rockstar didn't make a change, one loser fan did this edit because he is racist.

Who is "they"?

One lonely racist with an image generator?

Quick ! Someone draw both of them kissing !

Original is better

The original post seems like pure bait to me.

You see, it's actually about ethics in games journalism.

I don’t know if people are reading this correctly.

Rockstar did not change the race of the cover-girl. It was the racist ‘fans’ who fed the image through AI and gave her the Michael Jackson experience.

A lot of people getting angry at a company that (in this very specific case) did nothing wrong.

I don't know why anyone trusts anyone or anything that still posts on Twitter in 2026...

Hmmm looked around a bit online and I couldn't find this edited image or any comment about Rockstar changing the cover art from the left to the right. I'm wondering if this is even real, or am I missing a joke? If it is real it's silly but if it's not it's just fake outrage.

Fuck racism. But why the fuck are you posting a piece of shit produced by some scum denying the right to live to a group of people based on their hobby?

So a white person with Mar-a-Lago face? Kinda proves the point that a lot of casual racism just boils down to jealousy. They'll spend thousands of dollars on cosmetic surgery, lip filler, and spend hours a day tanning but god forbid you have those features naturally.

It's the same vibe as talking shit on Latino immigrants but than taking your family to a Mexican restaurant for dinner. Or how they talk shit about pride month and LGBTQ+ and say they deserve a parade for being straight all the while LGBTQ+ porn is extremely popular in conservative areas. They want all the benefits of other races, cultures, and sexualities without any of the prejudice that they themselves are creating.

The "discovery of the number 0" thing always bugs me because obviously no one needed to discover the number zero as it's used to express "I own zero goats".

The important discovery was the use of 0 as a placeholder in a column indicating no value, when writing the number 10 for example. Basically it's the discovery of a positional numeric system where the position / column of the digits means something.

You Don’t Have to Apologize for Being White Anymore!

Direct quote by US Vice President JD Vance, 2025.

Racists feel like it's OK to be openly racist again. They see people angry at their racism as oppressors.

Not surprised at all about this cover, though I am surprised Rockstar apparently went so far as to change it.

The tattoo on the one on the left really looks like a tattoo of her own face. I'm not big on tattoos of faces in general, so that's a little strange for me. It could be her mom or sister or something, I guess.

The one on the right has the same tattoo. I certainly wouldn't get a tattoo of someone whose job I took, whether they were fired because of racist fans, or they had poor job performance, or... Anything, really.

It is racist, but I like both tho :3

Well, to start, they are both cartoons.. So I would say they were equally well drawn, but I would also say that outrage one way or another is fucking dumb, so probably the first one was fine.
