      having black people in a tv show isn’t “prioritizing pushing a message”, you absolute loon

      • Just because you want to change the topic of discussion to a strawman it doesn’t mean it’s what we are discussing.

        Besides, you’re the only one kidding around here, making up bogus accusations to discredit criticism

          you just threw out a strawman, got told to stay on topic, then accused the other person of strawmanning your argument because they stayed on topic rather than responding to your strawman

      Name some media that pushes zero messaging of any type. Bet you can’t.

          Opulence and excess lead to brutality.

          • One hell of a reach there. Anything to actually show it’s an intentional message and not just reading between lines that don’t exist on your part?

              Pulled from wikipedia:

              F-Zero begins in the year 2560 where the human race’s countless encounters with alien life forms throughout the universe greatly expanded Earth’s social framework resulting in trade, technology transfer, and cultural interchange are carried out on an interplanetary basis. An association of wealthy space merchants created the “F-Zero Grand Prix”, in an attempt to add some excitement to their opulent lifestyles. When the first race was held, people were angered at the brutality of the competition, due to the various obstacles and traps along the raceway. As time passed, however, they became accustomed to these dangers, and even began to demand more excitement and danger in the races. Winning the F-Zero championship soon became the highest claim to fame in the universe. This period of time is called the “old-school” F-Zero days where the rules seemed non-existent in F-Zero X.

                    If you could be bothered to not repeat the same retarded comment as everyone else, the fact he has to cite auxiliary materials for the story is a perfect fucking example of the message not being put before the entertainment. You can play the entirety of the game with none of the message actually coming up.

                  So you want me to point you to an exact moment in the game? This passage is referenced in the 1991 instruction manual of the game as noted in the reference link on wikipedia. Specifically pages 3-4 and 20-28.

                  And here are the actual pages from the instruction manual:

                  Want to try again with a different media? I could do this all day since all media has some sort of messaging. It’s human nature.

                  • You’re proving my point tenfold lmao. If you have to go to external media to find the message, you’re making a pretty major reach to say it was the priority of the media.
