plus civ 7 is purposefully adding a bunch of leaders that weren't officially national leaders, people like Da Vinci or Benjamin Franklin. It makes added sense since you play as 3 different civilizations throughout the game and your civilization changes but your leader stays the same.

The US doesn't deserve to have someone as heroic as Harriet Tubman to represent it.
luckily, Civ 7 is kinda doing the Humankind thing and separating the leaders from the civs to some extent
meaning, Harriet Tubman doesn't have to lead the yankoid shitheap afaik
I know we're getting into more Paradox than Civ here, but I'd like to see it as, if John Brown or Nat Turner succeed, then she's the leader of the new America.

100% true
Literally everything Gamergate dipshits said about "SJWs" was projection:
- They're ridiculously sensitive and easy to offend.
- They want to force the entire industry to conform to their politics.
- They're single-minded obsessives who go nuclear the moment a game fails a single one of their myriad purity tests.
- A large portion of them are tourist outsiders invading the hobby who see it as nothing but a tool to push their political agenda.

“I’ve played every civ game” no you haven’t.
I've played 2, 3, 5 and 6. Never played Civ 1 or Civ 4.
My biggest gripe is not enough USSR leaders
Missed out on Stalin and Mao in Civ4
missed the one civ with a USSR leader lol
never played 4
big oof, purists still really pump it up and play it (i've seen people who consider 5 a disgrace and 6 an abomination lmao)
I actually hate 4 and 6
4 would be great with all the mods and shit, but the early 3d graphics shit is ugly and i dont say this lightly.
the awkward move from beautiful 2d to disgusting 3d was a growth period i dont want to revisit.

I played a ton of Civ 5 as a kid/teenager, Beyond Earth was the first game I got burned on buying, played some Civ 6 and like some things like the climate change and natural disasters.

4 is good. Probably my favorite in the series. Refined almost all of the jank out of the early series, hadn't yet introduced the all-new jank that started in 5.

Not having a twitter account continues to pay dividends
Why is it always the leaders remembered as heroes who are in games? They should add some of the bad leaders as well, Nicholas II, the most inbred of the Habsburgs, Gorbachev, Liz Truss, all the kings with names like "Hunger" and "the Mad".
they all have to be pretty ancient. Can't really have Hitler or Trump or Obama without enraging a bunch of the playerbase
they used to have Mao in civ 4 :(
If they put Obama in the next Zelda game I'm gunna' be pissed.
uhhhh let me be kokiri... if you like your deku nut, you can keep it

Sometimes I remember I'm not entirely unintelligent. Reading these comments really reminds you of the utter smoothness of most westerners brains
It’s even a joke I have with myself. One second this is my internal monologue:
“Oh come on, Zinn. You should feel lucky material conditions happened the way they did where you found the left before fascism found you! You’re not immune to propaganda, you got lucky it’s not your big brain!”
Reads a comment section
“On second thought, maybe it is your big brain that allows you to handle the truth.”
Ok, Harriet Tubman is great, but I'm still not playing as Amerikkka when 
is right there.
leaders are detached from civs this go round, so you could have china ruled by tubman
Oh wait, that's awesome. Sounds pretty cool, can't wait to pirate it.

I like Tuabman and I like diversity in my games but I hate the implication that the USA is sufficiently not fascist and white supremacist to have her as a leader.
in the civilization universe, all civilizations are a blank slate that start during the early agrarian era. They don't yet pick an ideology or colonize others or do anything at that point. Also, in civ 7 she can be the leader of any civilization, leaders aren't bound to specific civs
That's how I justify it to myself at least, it falls apart upon any introspection but that's how it goes with a silly 4x game with hammers and beakers
Yeah for sure I don’t actually object to this.
"fascism is just more industrial resource and nothing else!!!" i do not like modern civ games
I agree it should have some type of penalties, but it’s hard to implement fascism if you aren’t willing to include dirty historical realities like genocide and ethnic cleansing and colonialism.
I understand why Civ doesn’t want to allow naziboos to roleplay as a genocidal maniac in their game

Please Firaxis, add John Brown next. Then Malcolm X in the season pass.
new civ announced
I don't wanna play these games anymore
it's part of the culture war now
I don't wanna play these games anymore
speak for yourself, civ rocks and it's been 8.5 years since the last one
Big news for people with enough time and money to play civ 7
"oh but if i said hitler should be a leader in civ then i would be called a nazi. ok i see how it is. still waiting for my white privilege check"
Look, I understand that people are upset, but she's crossing her arms in the picture. We haven't had a chance to oggle her cans. She could have F cups under there.
