kotaku com /pokemon-go-could-be-a-death-sentence-for-a-black-man-1783388743
how dare you ask a black man to put his life in danger.
That is true, when over 84% of murders are committed by other blacks, and they're more likely to rob people, going outside with the stolen iphone is a death sentence if other blacks see him.
Two facts:
Pokemon Go requires you to walk through your neighborhood
Your neighbors will murder you
Solution: Pokemon Go must change
Thanks Black People - you keep us honest.
This is truly the bottom of the fucking barrel
Gaming 'journalism' needs to be nuked

>>80383419
especially Kotaku, the most SJW of all gaming journalism. honestly surprised this one wasn't written by Patrick Klepek. can't beat this logic:
There is a statistically disproportionate chance that someone could call the police to investigate me for walking around in circles in the complex.
There is a statistically disproportionate chance that I would be approached by law enforcement with fear or aggression, even when no laws have been broken.
There is a statistically disproportionate chance that I will be shot while reaching for my identification that I always keep in my back right pocket.
There is a statistically disproportionate chance that more shots will be fired and I will be dead before any medical assistance is available.
So the nigger is upset that he'll likely be stabbed and mugged for his phone by a fellow nigger if he walks around playing it?

I'm a little unnerved at the sheer amount of astroturfed marketing going on for this shit right now, everybody is commenting on it in some way or another as if it was a big event.
Meanwhile the game itself is less fun than Hey You Pikachu. Shit I may go play Snap after this, they should just sell that on AppStores or whatever.
>>80384381
I'm more unnerved that I didn't have to create that picture that I originally posted. That thing is ACTUALLY ON THEIR FUCKING WEBSITE.
>>80384581
That doesn't really phase me, I expect National Enquierer type writing pretty much everywhere these days, only instead of alien lovers and batboy updates, it's the hidden world of patriarchy and racism making the sensational page-splashes.
Now having 2/3rds of your friendlist all organically marketing an app game (for free) on the same day is far stranger to me, and more unsettling.
>>80384381
A real poke manz game in the age of the smartphones would be pretty dope tho. Everyone could have one and we'd finally realize the dream of the '90s.

Is this why bad neighborhoods are so full of ghost types?
>>80385401
Probably right for at least a portion of the hype, I'm just wary of every product I see 'trending' these days, and seeing an entire batch of people suddenly become marketing sleeper-cells without any organization gives me visions of a hivemind operating in some unseen way.
>>80385448
I wonder if the author even remembers Jynx
The kind of black guys who are playing Pokemon don't make cops nervous. If someone had on a weeb shirt their color is discarded from view and they are categorized differently all together on a sub conscience way.
>>80385388
Augmented Reality is a Microsoft thing, maybe they can cut a deal with the gooks and give us a pokemon game
>>80384963
I feel extraordinarily lucky that none of my friends have made a single post about it on kikebook. I dunno if it's just because my friends are "too old" (we are all very near 30 years old, if not older), or if it's just because I have good taste in friends.
I have no interest in the game, and I don't understand why people do.
>>80385878
I'd say your paranoid but I know those feels. Like you can't trust humanity because you can't tell if people have genuine interests or they do things because other people are doing them or telling them to do them.
>>80386009
That's my age bracket too, and it's mostly my old friends from school and female attention-seekers like one anon said. I thought it looked dumb but gave it a shot this morning just to see, and yeah it's lame.

Exactly, like it's hard to tell if someone is even a person sometimes, or just a collection of stuff jammed in to make a passable facsimile.
>>80386009
Kek I love /pol/, but you guys are fucking autistic fucks who will find a way to hate everything. Pokemon was a huge worldwide phenomenon in the 90s and has always been big. Now you guys are butthurt when a big new free Pokemon game comes out that a lot of people are excited about?
Kek fucking miserable faggots will always be miserable.
It's sort of akin to those dindus that get mad and start bitching when another black man "makes it out da hood". Just want everyone to be miserable. Crabs in a pot.
>>80387541
I thing the dislike of an average app game like this is proportional to the money spent hyping it to the target audience, like if a company shoves an app in your face for weeks and has twitter bots astroturfing hype for it, it probably will engender some hate for it on recognition alone regardless of the products quality.
But you were baiting so nevermind
>For a black man
What about for a man from Belfast? I could take a serious beating if I go into certain areas just because I'm Catholic. Do I get to claim the game's sectarian too?
>>80382748
Well, to be fair, there is a statistically disproportionate chance that a black man will commit a violent crime.
This justifies people being afraid of him, specially since it's a reaction to a cause, and not the cause itself.
>>80384381
Mate. It's Pokémon. In real life.
This was never not going to be a huge deal. There's entire swathes of people all huddled around certain areas in towns and cities, meeting strangers, making friends and all because of a shallow little mobile game. The game feels genuinely sociable.

>>80387372
You know, I think it's human default to copy. We learn that way, think about how kids just copy what they see grown ups doing. Well the very basic instinct is to do this... So what makes anyone think people STOP doing it? Especially if it leads to sex, if you copy what the other sex-haver is doing and you get sex, now you've set up a biological mating ritual that overrides the rest of your mind.
If nature teaches us anything it's that animals will repeat whatever behavior gets them laid.
It takes a certain amount of self-awareness I guess to not do it but it's obvious some people are just prone to copy the majority or their preferred majority whether they realize or not.
>>80388029
I'm not baiting. The average /pol/ user is miserable beyond belief. A good portion of this board are just people waiting for the next big act of violence, death, destruction and war.
It's only natural that these people for the most part will hate almost anything that is currently popular.
I'm not much different. I'm pretty miserable too. But at the same time I see how much of a pit of misery this place can be.
>>80387541
I'm not miserable. I'm just not interested in playing the game (haven't been since Silver/Gold). And if I'm not interested in playing the game, how interested do you suppose I am in hearing about someone else play the game?

And you're triggered by what is showing up on your Facebook feed or something? Or are people texting you hourly updates on what Pokemon they caught? Are people coming up to you in public to ask what you caught?
How bad is it for you?
Tell me Anon, I need to know.

Pastebin that Gawker Media clickbait.
>>80388984
I never got that vibe from /pol/. Dissatisfied with the current political climate? Sure. Miserable? Not so much. I get that vibe more on /r9k/ than here. I mean, I'm pretty happy with my life as it currently is. Gainfully employed in a job I like, happily married for 5 years, and living in an affordable place that is just great for the price. I'm simply worried about the future.
Oh, and I have no interest in a pokemon game, and haven't for quite some time. That said, there are plenty of video games I am interested in. Playing Persona 4 Golden on a PSTV I got for free (wife wanted to go through the storyline), NieR 2 is coming out. FFXV. The new Zelda. Still need to finish playing Chrono Cross. Xenogears and Xenosaga need playing (I missed them all). Also have Xenoblade Chronicles off the WiiU store, which needs played, and Xenoblade Chronicles X was an absolute blast.
>>80389468

Don't fucking sperg out and act shady if you -do- get approached by the cops. Let them know, fuck you have the phone in your hand show them. Cops arn't that stupid to be oblivious to what Pokman Go is.

>>80388480
>Nigger
>Wearing a jogging outfit
A nigger in a jogging outfit is clearly preparing/limbering up for some kind of crime. Perhaps a purse snatcher or cat burglar. Are you really saying "dressing like a criminal would solve number one"? You need to check your white privilege, man.
>>80389427
That's not what he's saying. He's saying police will turn up and shoot him, or some (white person) with a gun will shoot him, because niggers are more likely to be shot according to the media. Then he forgets to mention the whole thing about him also being 10-20x or more as likely to be a murderer or responsible for violence, a statistical fact that anyone can verify with official FBI statistics.
>>80389427
of course a canadian cuck would think being racist is a bad thing. niggers live in shitholes because whites put them there. news flash, we are racist and proud in america, you white guilt libtard.

We'll good for you, Anon.

>>80389832
They might no know yet, but as someone who got stopped by the cops for weird behavior involving Pokémon Go, it basically ended up with me telling the cop how to get it so he could play it.

Around March of next year, I hear. Right around the time that the Nintendo NX launches (releasing the console in March is stupid as hell, in my opinion, but that's when they want to drop it). I'm planning to just pick it up on the WiiU. Only thing that will get me to pick up the NX would be a Xenoblade Chronicles X sequel.
>>80383302
>>80390774
New console what the fuck? Man I don't play video games much...
> I see a few that seem to be located in my apartment complex, but unfortunately it’s getting late (around 10:30 pm) and I have a good ole’ American nine-to-five job. Like a normal adult, I started up my computer, played a couple hours of Overwatch, poked around on Facebook for another hour while in bed, then went to sleep.
"A couple hours of Overwatch" and "another hour" on Facebook. So he went to bed like at what? 1:30, 2:00? But 10:30 was late?
This dude is a fucking idiot.
>>80390949
The new Zelda game will be available for both the NX and the WiiU.
Some time soon, the PS4 will be getting an upgrade (PS4 Neo), as will the Xbone (Xbox One S). There's also a Project Scorpio being developed, with a release date at some point next year.
>>80391284
Lel that seems like too much.
>>80391408
Agreed. I still haven't picked up a PS4 yet, and I'm holding off until the Neo is released (from what I'm reading, it's for 4k video and better performance from the VR headset, neither of which I give a fuck about, as my TV is 120htz 1080p, and my soundbar only pushes 120htz 1080p video, I'm not interested in updating either, let alone both, and I have no interest in VR.
>>80391735
Again. Don't know why I didn't conclude that thought.
Don't give a fuck about the Neo, but I'm guessing regular PS4 prices will plummet when it drops.
>>80388239
>Pokemon in real life
But it isn't, not even a little. It's just an app. I also don't live around anybody young enough to know how to use a phone or tablet and wouldn't go out to meet them if I did. It's about as 'in the real world' as Pocket Pikachu was, maybe if google glass or whatever takes off the idea could work though.

You taking anyone who disagrees with you, and questions your pushing of smart phones, and saying that it confirms your beliefs is fallacious.

You're right. You're not cynical. You're genuinely nuts.
Rattata is dangerously close to an employment agency
No clue, the name is just stuck in my head from some radio ad that plays constantly, I know nothing about smartphones and only use my tablet while my desktop is out of commission. My phone is cheap junk but does the 3 things I want it for, I don't really care about it doing much else and get tired of the endless gimmick-hype with every iteration.

Too late, white kid already died falling off a bridge while playing Pokemon Go.
>>80393400
Ditto. My phone is mostly used for an alarm, calling, and texting. 15 bucks per month, too, and all the unused minutes/text/data (for pic messages) roll over so long as I renew my plan once every 29 days, instead of every 30.
It also has a pedometer built in, which is nice.
>>80393500
Actually map, weather and messenger/text, don't make tons of calls while away from home so it mostly goes unused. MP3 is nice but a chore I don't always bother with.
