Activision's GUN Misfires With Native Americans

jkdove writes "Gamergod.com has published a news story reporting on the backlash from Activision's western shooter, GUN. From the article: 'In reaction to the content of GUN, the Association for American Indian Development has started a boycott against Activision. They have requested that certain explicit violence and stereotyping be removed from the game ... Ultimately, the Association for American Indian Development simply wants to see the content corrected in respect of the Apache people ... Even though the historical period portrayed in GUN was fraught with racism, Activision's decision to publish a racially stereotyped videogame represents a serious misstep in social responsibility.'"

Consider the Jihad

It is with great sadness that Anti-slash announces that slashdot has removed BSD from its side-bar. Slashdot's editors have once-again gone down the path of group-think and journalistic oblivion.

We invite you to join the jihad and seek justice against slashdot's editors. Join anti-slash today!
