Woke Video Game Producers Now Refute Their Whole Game as a Work of of ‘Colonialism’

The game “Tomb Raider” has a long history of success and has been a top game sponsoring many version and across several platforms, including movies. But now its producers are falling on their woke sword calling their own product an example of “colonialism.”

The game debuted in 1994 and featured hero Lara Croft, famed relic hunter, adventurer, and treasure hunter who… as the title says … raids tombs.

The story and game was seen at the time as a great effort at “empowering women,” of course.

Now the company, Evil Hat Productions, claims that its own game is a work of evil colonialism and the original game was bad for stealing people’s history.

Per The Blaze:

An alleged excerpt from the game’s manual gave a definition of the term “raiding” and then condemned it as operating on “the assumption of ‘finders keepers’ that grants raiders with the means and the drive to claim ownership of artefacts, regardless of whether they have any historical or cultural claim to the treasure.”

Aside from the strange and obvious statement declaring theft as immoral, this was not the only alleged cultural argument from the company.

“Later games released in the franchise have started the work of addressing this by having Lara Croft acknowledge her past mistakes and try to understand and show respect for the cultures and communities she comes into contact with,” the manual reportedly read.

It also allegedly noted that the treasure hunter knows better than to decorate her mantle with the stolen artifacts and now prefers to prioritize “seeking out the truth.”

“Much of this game is inspired by her humanity, struggle with heroism, and her tenacity. We believe that all three aspects are an important component in creating a game that celebrates history and culture while acknowledging the respect and work required to live in a world wounded by colonialism,” the quote continued.

“In this game, we seek to continue in that work alongside Crystal Dynamics by creating a sandbox for you to tell stories that address colonialist themes in play and create your own stories of respect and support for the people and cultures your Seekers encounter.”

Liberals destroy everything they touch.
