>Tumblr Historian She said that completely unironically which makes it even more hilarious

As a history student, the ridiculous statement "history is written by white people, so blacks wouldn't be mentioned" is just disappointing. If anything people would mention it since it was probably a special occasion if some random african shows up in a bohemian castle, in the middle ages writing was expensive. So they would write down the extraordinary rather than the ordinary.

This is the equivalent of complaining about there being no black Nazi officers in WW2 games

"Dont compare people to animals" by the same logic they compared black people to a potion moments earlier

I gave up when they said "tumblr historian" ..... oh humanity

"History is not something that cares about your social justice taint." -Rags 2018

God I really hate seeing people talking about "White" or "Black" culture when we're talking about world-wide things As a (white) French guy I can tell that my culture is really different to most (white) American people, the same goes for Germans, Australians, Norwegians etc. The same goes for black or asian people, some people really need to stop just linking culture to skin color and call it a day as if there were only 4 or 5 cultures in the world

I feel bad for the Kingdom Come: Deliverance dev team. They put many years of hard work into not only making a game but portraying a period in history with as much accuracy as possible and what does the media and radical left do? Completely shit all over them for not meeting "diversity quotas". I love though that Daniel Vávra is taking it in stride. You can't let them get to you or they will win.

"You can't prove there wasn't any black people." That's called proving a negative and it's impossible. Let's just add cars and gun because there isn't any evidence they didn't have them.

"Health potions didn't exist either." Sure, health potions didn't exist but medicine, that basically heals over time, did. Especially when you consider that "health potions" heal over time, in a game where a real life minute is several minutes in-game, they definitely tried to make game mechanics historically accurate.

I'm black and I totally agree. If you are making a game based on historical facts, and one of those facts is that black people wasn't there at the time, then the game shouldn't have black people. It's not racist it's just common sense damn. Please reply lmao

They lost me at Tumblr historian

A Tumblr historian is kinda like a Back-ally doctor, something I wouldn't trust even if my life depended on it.

"How are we gonna get rid of racism in...?" -"Stop talking about it." -Morgan Freeman. "The more you make an issue of race and gender, the more you make race and gender an issue." -L1Games

The "health potions" they have in the game are a part of the food and drink healing mechanic and are simply medicinal tonics. Herbs cooked in an alcohol suspension.

"Health potions didn't exist" Medicine didn't exist in a liquid form at the time? Gus is a fool.

'Imagine being Gus...' I'd rather not.

... the fact that it's not documented is evidence in of itself.

hard to believe rooster teeth came from Texas

Oh, Roosterteeth no. I like Roosterteeth. Don't make me not like you, Roosterteeth.

As a historian myself, I’d just like to say that the fact that a historian is on tumblr, that people know them because they are on tumblr, and that they have been called a “tumblr historian” means they are probably not a good historian, if they can be called one at all. A professional historian doesn’t post their work on tumblr.

I've got to say, while Ashley didn't agree with the game developers and more so her friends, she remained pretty respectful of the history-buff arc to the game unlike Gus and Adam

should change the name from "the know" to the I don't know

White washing Bohemia...my brain just shut down for a minute.

I guess we'll have Rags videos forever, since ideological absurdity and stupidity never seems to end. And that seems just about right for me.

It really is a shame what RT has turned into. The first 100 episodes of Red vs Blue were great and the early RT Shorts were funny as well. Then they took a BIG swig of the regressive koolaid.

If a game was set in the Congo during the early middle ages I would expect there to be only Blacks and maybe some Arab traders.

We don't have any documentation explicitly stating that some knights didn't ride dinosaurs either. They should add raptor knights to be inclusive.

Ha-ha, that reminds me of an anecdote we have in Russia. A blonde girl is asked: - What is the probability to meet a dinosaur when you get out of your house? - 50/50. - How so? - Either I met it or I don't. Sorry if it wasn't tolerant and stuff.

The saddest thing about this to me is that I recall that Roosterteeth was literally made up by like 4 guys with barebones technology whilst they had other jobs as well. Their humour pushed borders, was unapologetic and appealed to wide audiences. Now Roosterteeth as a whole and many of its employees serve as a perfect example of how political correctness and leftism in general ruins everything it touches. You would think Gus, one of the founders of Roosterteeth, would at the very least be on the side of smaller companies creating their own projects the way they wish to but sadly he's an ideologue now I guess....

Why must color be apart of everything nowadays? Why can't we just go back to like 2006 where we had bigger things to talk about. . .like Dick Cheny shooting a guy with a rifle.

"Facts don't care about your feelings." - Ben Shapiro

Why is there no black commentators on the The Know staff? Seems like they have a more important diversity problem closer to home.

I remember a time when using PoC was considered bad. Also, last I checked 'white' was considered a color.

Wrong health potions were around then but they were called tonics

Hate a game for its plot, or its mechanics, or its bugs or business model. Don't hate on a game for the personal beliefs of those working on it.

everyone wondered what the big thud under my desk was and I had to explain that Rag's just uploaded.

"You couldn't actually save your game, you can't save in real life, so it's not historically accurate." That kinda kills ALL "authentic" games with that logic. xD

I've been a fan of Rooster Teeth for around 13 years now and been a FIRST member on their site for about 5 years now. I like most of their content but it always pisses me off when they frequently inject their far left and almost always uninformed politics into their videos and podcasts. Case in point, just last week on the RT podcast where Burnie was saying for certain that Assad used chemical weapons against his own people (despite no evidence from a credible source ever being presented) or when they immediately jumped on PewDiePie calling him a racist and antisemite for a joke he made taken out of context. I really do enjoy their shows but it pisses me off when they knowingly spread their BS ideology and blatantly false information to their platform of millions of people.

George R. R. Martin had to put up with some of this shit for his game of thrones books. This inclusive bullshit gets old. I'm 5 foot 7 which is relatively short for a guy, but i don't hinge my identity on it so I don't feel the need to demand a 5 foot 7 guy in all media for the sake of representation.

That moment when the person pushing for inclusivity and diversity says "I hate the germans" Nice

Man this is depressing, I used to love rooster teeth all through high school, but once I got to college they started injecting all this left crap into their content, I'm glad someone else sees how far they've fallen

Dear Gus: I liked you better when you were just Simmons.

"There's no proof there were no black people in Bohemia." Ok, first of all, that's not how the burden of proof works. Secondly, the lack of any text pertaining to black people (who probably would have had a lesser status than most in the realm, for obvious reasons) IS proof, the lack of any paintings of black people in Bohemia IS proof, and the fact that even today, with modern modes of transportation, there's next to no black people in Bohemia IS proof that there would be no black people in Bohemia back when the most advanced forms of transportation were a ship with sails and a horse and buggy.

The devs should release an "SJW" version. Just change all the characters a few shades darker. Don't change any facial features, hair color, eye color, or anything else. Just make the most deliberately transparent change to show your contempt for this laughable demand for what essentially amounts to a token checklist.

Loved that tweet, "Please tell me, Mr. American, about our [Bohemian, Czech] history."

At least Lawrence from Funhaus wanted to talk about representation as a whole, instead of just dogging on Vavra. Whenever they let James rattle on it's crazy what he says. If a game makes you press 'a' to jump it can't be realistic. The white man's story has been told. That Czechs nowadays were a dead society (the Czech fans weren't happy with that one). I'm not even sure he believes what he's saying. He just takes it and runs. By far the most idiotic thing was that the Tumblr historian said that Bohemia was on the Silk Road, so black people could have run into it. How anyone took him seriously after that gobsmacks me. The responses from actual Czechs from the comments and Reddit were enlightening. If you'd known Adam you would not be surprised, he's vehemently SJW, and I've never seen much of Alfredo. A little surprised with Gus, usually he just doesn't care. Although after another recent controversy with advertising online prescription medication on their channel, I won't be surprised in the future. That Reddit commentor summed it up perfectly, Americans were projecting their race issues onto everyone else. Gosh, goodness and golly. Thanks for this vid and the info, as I didn't watch The Know's vid on it after FH's. Keep on keeping on.

Wait a minute, when did The Young Turks start talking about video games?

**pet-pet** Good doggo EDIT: Holy shoot, the Grand Doggo noticed me! I'm crying ;w;

Is that Gus from Rooster Teeth? Dayum... If so, many of their jokes are pretty taboo to the SJW's I'll remind them...

"Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." -George Santayana

I just love how Gus went from "I know nothing about this game but it has a really long script" to apparently knowing about the controversy and conversation around it with the "I'd like to point out an interesting counter argument I've seen". I understand he has a laptop right in front of him but wow, his wording suggests he looked at it prior to the podcast, not in 5 minutes on his shitbook. Also I find it funny, they are asking to prove something does not exist, by this logic I can get a Tiger 1 tank in-game because no one can prove some peasant from a village in the 1400s DIDN'T HAVE A TIGER TANK!

again nothing is better than a black woman fighting on behalf of the nazis in a WWII game, right guys?

History should not be censored

I think Ashley would be a reasonable person if she wasn't being dragged down by all the SJWs around her. She's clearly moving her opinion closer to theirs to avoid being called out for not virtue signalling hard enough. If she was on a podcast with reasonable people she'd probably have a reasonable level headed opinion to give.

This is Rooster Teeth? Man, that's...so depressing.

13:17 Honestly I agree with the Ideology Expert, Gus. Also considering the fact that this game has a pause menu, I think that Kingdom Come: Deliverance is one of the most unrealistic, unimmerisive, and historically incorrect video games of this generation. You want to talk about a game with some TRUE immersion!? How about Black, female Nazis in COD: WWII? Now THAT'S a game with some historical accuracy and realism.

History is sacred, altering it should be nearly criminal.

Well gus does use a Macbook so he clearly makes emotional choices not practical ones. On top of that it's one of the new gray models that even long time Mac users absolutely hate (I work as a computer repair tech that fixes macs and pc and not a single person who bought one was happy with it and immediately went back to an older more reliable model)

Now correct me if im wrong, but wasn't there very similar controversy over The Witcher 3? Feels before reals amirite?

Well there's no proof that there were giant robot lizards in Prague but there's also no proof that there weren't.

I watched this video and immediately bought the game. Because it sounds AMAZING!!

Greetings from Czech Republic

I'm starting to think that Roosterteeth has political requirements in order to be hired. I don't know if a single employee who supported #GamerGate publicly

Roosterteeth has been going downhill for a while now, Hell now they’re even pushing their politics in Red vs Blue.

For those who didn't know, Dan Vávra worked on such gems of gaming like Hidden & Dangerous or Mafia. His achievements are impressive, so I'm proud that he stood his ground with this game too.

"The Know"... What an oxymoron !

O.o when you realize rags has a owner.

Ashley needs to get out of that cesspool. She's the only one even trying to be reasonable.

History didn't have inventory screens OR lockpicking minigames, and this game didn't even include ANY realistic scents of the era, nor do I feel the tactile sensation of being assaulted with medieval weaponry while playing. Checkmate, Warhorse, realism 0/10

I learned many many years ago that Rule#1 of Proving Things is "You never have to prove a negative, the other guy has to prove the positive".

less than 1% of 1% of the current Czech population is black.... THE CURRENT population.

Wait, this is rooster teeth. The creators of Red vs Blue. How far the mighty have fallen

There's no explicit documentation stating that uncontacted native tribes in the Amazon rainforest don't possess modern firearms, so I guess if they ever make another Indiana Jones movie it should open with Indie being chased through the jungle by natives in loin clothes wielding AK-47s and Desert Eagles.

Roosterteeth Z-listers are the worst

Yes, a new video! Now I can just raise my butt, and lift my tail...

Being someone who watches The Know (and Rooster Teeth in general) a lot (and I even saw this whole tire fire) I was incredibly upset to see what happened and a lot that they said

Thank you for continuing to make videos, our favorite doggo. You make doing chores...not a chore. Also fun to relax to with dem dulcet tones.

“I’ll be brief” *40 minute long video*

Where is Sarge and his trusty shotgun when you need him? Simons has stepped out of line.

By Gus' logic.... I guess I know which shows I won't be watching...

I mean, a time machine would be awesome. With all the cool shit I could do, the possibilities are simply endless.

Congrats on hitting 300K Ser Rags

Not to mention KCD doesn’t _HAVE_ health potions!

I never liked Gus. Honestly this whole glitch please they did was baffling in general.

I haven't played it yet, but watched a bit of let's play(because I heard it was buggy), and honestly, I am very impressed what they did with the relatively small budget they made this game on. I think they did this on about 1% of the budget of skyrim and the game is well written and seemed quite lovely for the few hours I watched of it. I will for sure be picking this up. EDIT: I was basing the 1% on the kickstarter funds, they did have somewhat more of a budget..still impressive

Typical Austin Hipsters.

This video made me appreciate Kingdom Come even more for aiming for accuracy and sticking to their artistic vision and not caring about SJW outcry, a rare site these days

wow, I liked The Know... I actually liked Gus and Ashley before seeing this. Wow. I used to anyway.

I love believing that you are really a talking dog. It adds to the fun of the channel.

This is basically the same argument as "You can't prove there isn't a god, therefore, god probably exists". Just replace "god" with "black people".

I just add a little bit to the end. "The Know-nothing."

A few people who haven't heard of Kingdom Come aren't gonna buy Kingdom Come because of their political agenda. Wow, surely these are the people who will start the next revolution. Well done them. PS. Gus has a Kojima Productions sticker on his macbook before he even knows if the company will be making any good games. What a mong.

Rags, you're awesome I don't know how I found your videos, but I fucking love them.

I was a huge fan of RT since 2007 and was paying subscriber of theirs for almost eight years. I knew a lot of them were more liberal leaning due to their fawning over Obama, but I had a deep respect for Burnie and Gus when they said they would keep their podcast (at least the main RT podcast) free of political opinion. I was tired of the rhetoric and just wanted to hear people shoot the breeze. In 2015 that started changing when they brought on Mika Burton when she went on a "I'm poor black girl scared of this crazy Texas place" rant on a podcast and Burnie, on air, allowed it to continue. From there it descended into more and more until the 2016 election when their opinions started filtering into content. I got tired of it, unsubbed, unfollowed, and eventually cancelled my paying subscription from their site. End of an era and it sucks.

Some americans really think that the USA is the center of everything

Hipster and beta and soyboy oh my.

i really feel bad for people like Barbara Dunkelman, Gavin Freen, Ryan, Geoff and other employees of the RT for losing audience because of bs like this.

"The popes took turns writing the history" Ah yes, as we all know, historically, it was illegal for anyone but the pope to record anything.
