At least the discourse around 5 is better today than it was in 2008 wherein anyone calling this racist shit out was belittled. And it sucks because I'm a big Biohazard fan but even when I was a lib playing 5 for the first time it raised my eyebrow and go "well shit".
I gotta say, I was dumbfounded even back then. It's "Rules of Engagement" levels of racist. Like, it's so racist you assume they know what they're doing and are making some kind of high brow comment on racism but then the heel turn is that they get Even More Racist.
Oh that movie, never seen it, heard it's bad.
Pre-9/11 movie that managed to be more racist towards Arabs than most post-9/11 media
Yikes
For real, my reaction was initially "holy shit, dude" and I believe I was still in my little hogglet phase
Stormfront, the literal actual site, not reddit, praised 5 and Capcom for their racism.
Of course they did, it's reddit after all

Yeah even as very uncritical youths, playing it coop after school we were still like “are we really doing this?!” I expected some plot point that challenged these themes, even if not as strongly as say Spec Ops The Line. I thought we’d get something, but it never came.
I have unfortunate news...
