Infinity Ward (the modern warfare developer) decided to remove the OK hand gesture in game and replaced it with a different gesture. This has caused lots of backlash especially on reddit where gamers expressed their frustration with Infinity Ward. Infinity Ward has taken a stance on recent political issues by cracking down on racist usernames and having a black lives matter loading screen as well. But some think this is too far

thoughts on this?

the reddit comments on the original thread

like its all good the more they make these dumbass crackers mad but all this s*** is so performative

Wasn't the OK sign offensive in Europe before the whole (forced) association with white power

f*** gamers and all they feelings

yeah its strange how they care about this, but i regularly see people with straight up "ni*ger" as their username smh

emphasis on forced, so many people have missed the fact that some freaks on the internet made that a thing

ban people who have racist names and say the n word repeatedly? nah lets ban the ok sign

ok

They point out that the game literally allows players to commit war crimes through the use of killstreaks like White Phosphorus, so it seems odd for it to pursue a moral high ground.
WHAT LMAO

my god these games are so f***ing warped

Just don’t really care at this point

Players: Stop putting out so many updates and give us the modes/weapons we want

Infinity Ward: You wanted a BLM loading screen and to remove a gesture for no reason? We ended racism, bow down to us

You guys keep falling for this s*** by giving it the attention they want

Used to divert from these corporations not paying taxes or putting black people on the board. Or the slave labor in China they use to make their products etc etc

Corny

lmao f***ing corn balls

Idk about all that. Its not just people forcing it when its pictures of white supremacists using the sign.

meanwhile my game is f***in broken because it takes up 200 GB on my console

Innocent black people are still gonna get gunned down by the police everyday because these corporations are doing this p**** s*** thinking it will fix everything
