Sony says it will remove Stellar Blade artwork that appears to reference racist slurs, claiming that the phrase's inclusion was "unintentional."

The art, which appears to combine two visual elements into a single phrase, was discovered during the review process. It can be seen in the screenshot below.

This seems kind of silly.

Sorry but i don't understand it, can someone explain please? Hard rshop? What's this?

[–] Car@lemmy.dbzer0.com 14 points 3 months ago (3 children)

Hard R, referencing the N word. Not sure the shop is part of the reference

[–] C0unterfactual@sh.itjust.works 7 points 3 months ago (2 children)

How does R reference the N word?

[–] WldFyre@lemm.ee 6 points 3 months ago

The n-word with the "hard R" is n----r, as opposed to without the hard R, n----a

[–] SolOrion@sh.itjust.works 4 points 3 months ago

To further explain, since I'm assuming you're not a native speaker: the n-word can be two words, one ending in a hard r sound and one ending in an a sound. Hard r n-word is generally considered drastically more offensive. I wouldn't suggest using either, to be entirely clear, but they're very much different levels.

The shop part only makes it worse

[–] Blackdoomax@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 months ago

Ok thanks.

I watched that live and it was amazing. I swear to god Luke goes through at least three stages of grief while Linus just keeps fucking talking.

What a sad article. Someone is clearly looking for something to be offended by.

[–] hal_5700X@sh.itjust.works 9 points 3 months ago

Will, you have this version of it. Looks like the game put a random graffiti art on the wall. So Shift Up did nothing wrong.

[–] HawlSera@lemm.ee 7 points 3 months ago (1 children)

looks at artwork, the joke is HARD R Oh come on, that's hilarious, but we're in an era of gaming where video games can't have risque humor or jokes in them anymore.

[–] Stopthatgirl7@lemmy.world 6 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

It’s not “risqué humor” or a “joke,” it was a Korean company not knowing the nuance of a phrase in English. That’s why it was likely changed so quickly, because it wasn’t intended.

[–] p5yk0t1km1r4ge@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago

I don't get it

[–] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago (2 children)

They're going to replace it with the version that means buddy

I want you to know that I put this video on while I shaved my balls and didn't even realize that whole video was only 4 minutes. So much content in such a short amount of time. The phrase "script economy" gets thrown out a lot in cinephile communities, but this clip might be one of the most effective examples of the phrase that I've ever seen.
