Would it be considered racist to add settings to the game that allow characters of a certain race to be disabled?

Question

Game development

For example, a player can remove all blacks from the game, and keep only whites (for himself). It will also be able to host a server with its own settings for races, to which friends or anyone can connect.
Can we say that the developers of the game are racists?

Answer 1

The biggest mistake in wrestling is to lead it according to your opponent's rules.
Feminists, fighters for the rights of colored, gay, trans and other liberals and not only (!!!) do not have a specific set of rules. These people can drastically change their beliefs within a few days. They are simply impossible to please. I'm tired of citing EA as an example. Remember what happened with the trailer that featured the one-armed woman? They screwed it up, that's what. And the liberals themselves took part in this.
Therefore, you can not adapt to their rules! If you want to make it possible to leave only the bounty on the map - please! In the end, it was not you who set the rule - only whites, but the server administration.

Answer 2

Yes, no one cares.
I'm serious.

Answer 3

wikipedia:
Therefore, the terms racism and racial discrimination are often used, if the language is about discrimination on ethnic and cultural backgrounds, regardless of the fact that difference can be characterized as racial
They also came up with a problem, they would add to the settings the ability to delete any of the races, and ethically, and not to undermine, and most importantly, no cultural setup.

Answer 4

Any action regarding any race can be presented as racism. Everything in the world is relative and you can look at everything from different angles.
According to this logic, any strategy, shooting games, where people of different races are opposed, can be considered racist. BUT. This is absurd. There is a wonderful game - civilization. Very successful. You just add in brackets to this setting (for yourself, for convenience, so that the eye does not get callous) and, probably, there will be success. =)

Answer 5

No. Well... not yet. Because there have already been precedents with "sexism"

Answer 6

You can say anything, you can even in the absence of a certain race among the characters in the game, call the developer a racist, but don't give a shit? On the contrary, there will be additional PR if someone starts to throw at the fan

Answer 7

The question is how this will happen,
but the function: to reduce all representatives of some race to ashes, would be obviously racist. Same for women or men.
But half of the game world is random, this is normal.
On the other hand, if the player is given the parameters for creating the world, let's say he creates his own island, where only Europeans live - brunettes and all men. Then much better.
