“The upcoming Mass Effect could feature heavy colonialism themes.”

please tell me there is still time for Bioware to trash this idea and give us a completely different story

please please please

“…where players will lead the fight for a new home in hostile territory – where WE are the aliens – opposed by a deadly indigenous race bent on stopping us”

can we just fucking ban white men from telling stories ever again? how the fuck is this a ~new and exciting idea~, this is White Supremacy Simulator 9001, this is just a rehash of Dragon Age: Imperialism in space, but ooo now ~we’re~ the aliens – now ~we’re~ a peaceful species who just wants a home and the natives are ~barbaric~ and want to ~destroy us~ when we just want to ~co-exist peacefully~

did fucking christopher columbus take lead on this shit or what

oh my god

oh my god

this is fucking remarkable. like–this *points at the andomeda “story” blurb* right here? 

this thing that Bioware wants to do?

this is like the most perfect & scintillating example of how canadian-brand racism manifests itself

FEAST YOUR PEEPERS AND BEHOLD.

THIS RIGHT HERE, THIS “STORY” AND THE ATTITUDE BEHIND IT?  THIS IS THE EXACT WAY CANADA (as an institution) IS FULL OF SHIT!
