A true boss i must say.

Hispanic is just a group of people who speak spanish, not an ethnicity, when will Americans understand that?

@@hogan4670 I don't think Anglo Saxons will understand that. At least not anytime soon. Whether it's refusal to learn or can't learn is another question.

I feel bad about our fellow Hispanics, Filipinos are lucky to be able to preserve the hundreds of languages in their homeland. We got away with having a lot of Spanish words in our language. The average non Tagalog Filipino is multilingual, they learn their mother tongue, then Filipino(the local lingua-franca based on Tagalog) and English as they grow up.

At least we weren’t the British.

And now mexican food is all over the world

@@abnerdoon4902 Latin America generally have it worse than the Philippines due to a few factors. 1. The Spanish were far away and can only manage so much on the Islands and the made it there when Encomienda was abolished. (So the Spanish had more encentive to keep it more stable than Latin America, the Philippines was also an Important Trade Route so its stablility is important.) 2. The Pacific Islanders were not as affected by Old World diseases as New Worlders. (The biggest reason why New World culture and Civilisations are endanger of being lost forever is not only due to Imperialism but also the Diseases that killed of 90% of the New World.) 3. The Islands has always had a ton of different cultures and languages and mearly adopt other foreign ones over time, Christianity isn't even that Alien to the Philippines in Pre Colonial times, though a lot of Natives resisted forced Catholic Conversion and Spanish Rule. Ironically though both Latin America and The Philippines have long since adopted Iberian Culture and Catholicism (and in Latin America's case down to adopting the Language) and has essentially become part of the local identity though with a Local flavor. (Hilariously The Philippines today is kind of similar to Reconquesta period of The Iberian Peninsula, with 2 Major Religions of Catholicism and Islam.)

@@forickgrimaldus8301 the Reconquista analogy is kinda off since, Islam had a stronger presence in the islands before the Spanish came. During Spain's time in the Philippines, the Island of Mindanao was basically one of the last remaining bastions of Islam in the archipelago and were fending off the Spaniards for 300 years. Americans then came and hauled Christianized natives from Luzon and Visayas to the island of Mindanao and gave them free land, basically turning the muslim majority into a minority. The same playbook they used to defeat the Native Americans. Funnily enough, Americans ran concentration camps in the Philippines and fought the Filipinos rivalling both the Spaniards and the Japanese in their cruelty. I think the collective trauma from that time helped with turning the Philippines into one of America's biggest allies in the region.

Ditto

Japanese are highly educated and many of them takes reading as hobby.

this is a very interesting idea, if you don't mind me making use of it for an essay I'm doing, I think, if you don't know it, you would very much like the studies of post-structuralism, of which the famed emil cioran that appears in that quote in the game is somewhat of a precursor along with Sartre, only I didn't understand that last part, did you mean successors, or ancestors/predecesors?

@@luisaguilar7997 Ah, I see you noticed I slipped in "ancestors" instead of "descendants". ;D I don't mind if you use this idea at all. In fact, I hope you improve upon it. Thanks.

It's really important for people to view the works of Chaucer and Shakespeare in this way. In their respective times both were seen as somewhat odd as much as revolutionary when coining phrases or creating words solely to fit within their works. From an etymological standpoint poems are more impactful than people realise, especially seeing as a considerable amount of religions are founded in rhythmic story telling.

That's because it fails as a video game. We shouldn't have to learn this stuff by listening to cassettes.

@@XDWX but who are you to dictate how a creator should explain his art?

@@XDWX Wrong

What's the point of "exist"?

Exists = prepare to be invaded

Rest In Peace to a genuinely good dude tho

That's the beauty of literary analysis babyyy. I'm so happy to see that there's a genuine interest from so many people in digging deeper into games as art.

@@cybershadow136 Many people fear subjective analysis. They cling to dogma and canon because it is ‘safe‘.

I've been telling people this stuff for years but I've never been able to explain it like he did in this video. I'm Indian and fairly traditional. I was never taught our language. I was however taught to speak like our people. Which makes no sense but I'll try to explain. I've always had trouble communicating with people because of honesty. I would word things to mean exactly what I said. Others would speak in carefully constructed riddles that forced you to read between the lines. It was like we spoke the same language but neither of us could understand the other. As I got older I realized that this was what the old folks were talking about when they said things like "the white man's language is the language of liars". That's paraphrasing but a multitude of old quotes from famous chiefs and tribal leaders said things like that. Most people including myself just thought they were trashing white folk and everything about them out of anger but they were actually seeing something. Imagine growing up in a world where you have to have a paper that says you own something or you don't own it. Where people write laws and give definition to every word because if they aren't completely transparent someone will bend the laws and escape justice on a technicality. People are taught not to lie but its kind of okay if you benefit from it. Oh, and greed. The result is a culture where people are so distrustful of each other that everyone is constantly lying or is accusing someone of lying. Constantly trying to gain the upper hand over whoever they're talking to as if they were an opponent. Almost as if communication is a form of warfare to them. And that culture has been embedded in the language itself. When It was spread to us the culture came with it. We began to think like the Europeans and I believe that did more damage to our people than the Europeans ever did to us personally. Today we're so thoroughly Americanized that we actually WANT to be a part of their nations and their governments that spent hundreds of years destroying our people. My boy Quincy (he's black, we talk about stuff like this a lot) came over a while back and we were talking about this Indian woman who was running for something in the government and I told him I wouldn't vote for her and he looked at me like I was crazy. I told him that the system was built for Europeans and it only opens it's doors to our kind when they are Europeanized and willing to uphold that system. That won't change anything for us. We don't need a seat at THEIR table. We need to have OUR OWN tables.

i spoke with one of my leads at work who happens to be Nigerian, i asked what language did they speak in her country, and she told me she spoke english, then i told her i had been told that Nigeria is home to over 500 languages, and she acknowledged it then told me that she can speak one of her native languages but didnt understand others and pointed out a fellow coworker who was also nigerian, she said she didnt understand his language. It made me realize what this game was trying to say, in making English the dominant language or only language in your country, can kill part of your culture. although skullfaces says words can kill, what he meant was language can kill ones culture and identity.

Im latino by the way, Born in Colombia, spanish being my native tongue, but i moved to the states at an early age and had to learn to write and speak english, luckily because i spoke spanish with my mom, i never forgot how to speak the language.

Welcome to history pal. Everyone from Persians to Romans to Chinese. Yeah it's bullshit but what can you do really.

The criticism about the game's story is dumb. It stems from comparing it to games like MGS4, which isn't fair, just because the story seems short compared to the other games in the series

@Stockholm Syndrome why are we still here? Just to suffer? The story that was lost.... the battles never fought... they just keep hurting.

There was certainly some content cut, like in any other game, and the third chapter mainly addresses stolen Sahelontropus theme which in the context of the whole franchise doesn't lead anywhere...The problem with the story is in its pacing and the mission structure, if Sahelontropus boss fight had been conclusion, nobody would have complained ...Look at Death Stranding, the game has the same story pacing issues ( most of its cutscenes happened in the beginning and final consequences, the middle section is a pure gameplay , just like MGS V) So rather saying that the game is half finished , i am leaning towards the conclusion that Kojima changed his approach to storytelling...

The story isn't very good at all, like most of Kojimas work it dabbles in a lot of themes and concepts but ultimately doesn't have much to say. In that sense MGSV is his worst effort yet

It wasn't a bad game or a bad story but it was a horrible "MGS" game and horrible "MGS" story. The video game should deliver its story directly. Cassette tapes were a lazy way to shoehorn the story in with minimal effort. The entire story itself is basically delivered in one scene when Skullface and Venom are riding in the Jeep. There is no character development at all for almost everyone. The rest of the game is just stale breadcrumbs.

Just like the culture of cancel in USA

QUIET.... see what i did there. Like her in the story she was supposed to spread her diseased words to the base......💔 R.I.P. best sidekick/partner in the franchise.

@Stockholm Syndrome thanks for the feedback, I always get that one wrong!

Ah, the tyranny of language!

Hideo is a savant his work is and will be underrated even with its acclaim the topics and messages are lessons the whole world need to study. To call him a mere game dev. Is a disservice to his larger than life stories, messages, and questions. I wish could be conveyed to the masses simply. Sadly most who play the games see a shooter with ( long cut scenes they skip thru ) missing these important topics. A misunderstood man ahead of his time. This essay on one of his topics is great id love to see deep dives into all kojima's work and messages

I mean look at history. Everyone from the Russians to Chinese to Europeans to Japanese are destructive with language. It stings but what the hell can you do

I liked 1984. But idk. I just wish they'd go into the backstory more. Like I wanna learn about the world. But I get it, the books more message then world

doesnt fit his agenda

@@quantumgigavsigmaraven1745 literally how lol Yeah, Alex, “He just forgot” for 500 please

Ik.but were Americans and that's the part that sucks man. So many cultures just abandoned or destroyed. Guess it makes you grateful for the things you have to hold on to

Yeah. Ik, it's weaponized by civilizations. It sucks man

@Stockholm Syndrome I know right!, I know the creators are trying to get some income out of the hard works they do here but, the amount of ads sometimes makes it unbearable.

Thats dope, i cant help but feel a little satifaction when i find out great literary figures were polish like me, halfway through heart of darkness atm

Thanks for this recommendation, I looked it up and I find McWhorter's talks to be very interesting material.

i'm feeling the same thing too
