I like to call them deadpan instead of sarcasm. Sarcasm has a tone to let others know that it isn’t serious, while deadpan relies fully on the content itself.
I had a lot more deadpan comments crash and burn on Reddit than here. And even in this case, someone just questioned the comment while it had overall positive reception. I think Lemmy generally gets deadpan.
There might be others, but The Dagger of Xian plotline in Tomb Raider II is a little “woo woo Chinese mysticism”. You plunge it into your heart and turn into a dragon.
I’m not offended by it but I’d imagine that’s not the kind of thing you’d write in a video game today.
While Crystal Dynamics didn’t specify which content it’s referring to, it’s speculated that it could be the animalistic depiction of Pacific Island natives in Tomb Raider 3, who are implied to be cannibals.
Like the fictional Indiana Jones style villages? Or the real life North Sentinel Island Sentinelese? I’m scratching my head too…
In what world is that a question for a reasonable person?
A media company remade and re-released a piece of media and acknowledged that there may be problematic content, but that we should consider the time the media was made.
You don’t need to know what the problematic content is, just accept their statement on it.
What stereotypes were in the games?
The stereotype that old British men are all butlers who get off on being locked in the freezer.
Indeed. Some of us prefer being locked in the pantry.
That’s not a stereotype.
Of course it isn’t. I am clearly making a joke. lol holy crap this is happening every single day on lemmy now whats happening to this place?
I think you were both making jokes
people with an extreme moral superiority complex emboldened by the anonymity of the internet.
Sarcasm is damn near impossible to pick up over text unless it’s extremely obvious.
If it’s extremely subtle sarcasm yes. I agree. There was nothing subtle about my post though
I agree, but I’ve done the same thing before and people have totally taken it seriously.
That doesn’t mean it’s extremely hard to pick up on obvious sarcasm. It just means some people are morons lol.
Yeah, I crack sarcastic Jokes all the time and it feels like no one on Lemmy gets sarcasm

Something that is accurate and true is not a stereotype.
I’m sorry, but another user has already confirmed that some British men prefer being locked in the pantry so it isn’t accurate.

Yet the Uncharted games exist.
