Paititi shouldn't have been the main game hub, heck it shouldn't have even existed in the first place. If you want to do a game on indegenious people than do it properly in a game that's meant for it. Shadow failed to show any of them in a better light and didn't do Tomb Raider any justice.
Horrible design, horrible decision to include that place in the game. Social aspects are a no for Tomb Raider. |

Comics Top Cow Lara does have encounter several tribes and learned from it. Classic Lara sadly due to the time only blasted the indegenious with her weapons because it was the bad guys of the game. But it's a good thing but only for one game. |

I mean Lara had to solve even the most mundane of problems that they should have been able to solve for themselves. Edit Reboot Lara also had fun killing indigenous people in the jungle. The cult for example evil or not are indigenous people too and if TR3 gets flack then so does Shadow. Ultimately I think it's stupid to get mad as seeing such things when white people are usually the subjects of evil in video games, but if we are to be fair then Shadow is the ultimate criminal if it all because Lara spends most of the game killing them and trying to remake their culture in her ideals with the help of etizi.

I never said it was revolutionary but they weren't threated like stupid peoples afraid of everything. The sacrifices are only made by the Kukulkan Cult also the notion of sacrifice was real in the historical aspects. So for me it doesn't count as a stereotype. |

The cult people were so friendly with Lara. They all wanted to have a tea party but the mean Lara was killing them.

Funny how two games guilty of the same thing get different reception depending on the crowd your speaking to. Last edited by charmedangelin; 28-11-19 at 23:30. |

All these critics about Lara being white are so boring at this point.
If she was against indigenous people, that would have been wrong because she would have been a selfish white woman. She helps them, and she is still criticized because she is their "white saviour". What should have she done? Why does her skin color should have a role in her actions? She could be black, white or whatever, that's not important; but Lara as a character is a British white woman who works as an archeologist and goes on adventures around the world; if someone doesn't approve that it's not Lara's or the developers' fault. This reminds me of Resident Evil 5, everyone criticized it by saying "the typical American man that murders black people", but no one had said a thing about the same thing happening with Resident Evil 4 for example with Spanish people instead of African people; now what, are Spanish people inferior or what? Why don't they deserve the same "protection from fans" like the others? And I clarify that I say this because in all those examples I've talked about there are no episodes of racism, if there was racism in them I would have been highly against them.
