RTG's Funky Monkey

[bb28]

Loaded depicts a culture... Women could be offended because, to me, it depicts pimps and prostitution. If Blacks are offended, they need to take it up with their brethren who created the stereotype. (not a graphic designer depicting or exploiting it)

FM depicts monkeys as blacks, and the more I think about it, the more offended I become.

About the Loaded game....I do remember the first time I played it.......I was actually quite shocked and surprised by the stereotypes displayed in it. I can't say that I've ever had that reaction on any other slot and I don't know why I did then.

Well... maybe... but Loaded isn't supposed to be about a 'pimp daddy and his prostitutes', it's supposed to be about a rapper and his fine ladies.

anyway... I think we all have worse things to worry about. If any particular game is offensive, fire off a few emails to the relevant casino and their software provider, and never play the game -- or even boycott the software entirely if truly horrified.

Question.......if Funky Monkey could be perceived as offensive, what about MG's game Loaded?

Loaded does not associate an AFRO with a Monkey !

 

[RobWin]

Of course, but it could have depicted wild cherry or kc and the sunshine band and not have been questiobaly offensive

I didn't say that it did. I can only know what I perceived, can't speak for anyone else.

Jeeze bb28, I didn't say that you did, I only gave you my opinion as to your question that you asked:

"Question.......if Funky Monkey could be perceived as offensive, what about MG's game Loaded? "

That "Loaded does not associate an AFRO with a Monkey" !

Were Kool baby....

 

[Rusty]

yeah, gosh...

Now that is pretty offensive

I guess with FM if some people find it offensive then it is offensive to some people.

Or to put it another way if we have to consider if something is offensive then we are just being PC.

 

[bb28]

I kool.........you're Kool!

Didn't someone mention the Commodores? Ohhhhh.....Three time a lady, Easy, Sail On.....I still like that stuff! I'm listening now.

One of my girlfriends used to call them the Comode-a doors, that still cracks me up.

I know........I'm off topic here.

Yea, I agree Rusty....but you got to hand it to him, the boy could dance for a white boy...

With that statement You are either being post ironic or racist

 

[USA2112]

Don't know how old you are but... there was a time ... mid 70's was it? ... that lots of folks -- even 'whitebreads' got perms (if needed) and wore 'fros.

Ah! the good ole days. And my brother wore his natural fro proudly 42" in circumference.

Good place to stash the goods..

As for the game, Strange observation! The world is just to small.

Post Ironic actually...with a little satire mixed in for extra measure....

But anyway... I see what you're saying, though I didn't pay any attention to the depictions originally. There is also Mucho Grande (or whatever it's called) at MG, and all those eastern/oriental slots, and Loaded (which hubby has always called 'that PimpDaddy game') and so on.

Personally, I just think these software people need to start worrying about improving original themes, mechanics, and gameplay more than 'how many ways can we diddle with the graphics and reskin this same game'...

.............my boyfriend in 1977 had an afro and he was as white as cotton and i have had a fro as well, i guess its just how the person reads into it. i see nothing wrong with it myself imo.im a child of the 70s so fros and funky music, stack heels and lots of gold chains seems the norm to me from someone from that era....................laurie

I don't see Loaded as being a racist slot.

I just see it as a load of cool black guys chillin' with their bitches.

Nuffin' wrong with that!
