I'm a divorced woman of color. Recently, my ex got our son Freddie a video game called Europa Universalis for his 14th birthday. It seemed good for him, because it takes place in the distant past and he's always been interested in history, so it seemed like a nice enough game, no graphic violence or anything, at least until I sat down and watched him play at it. I don't know what sorts of racists made this game, but it's basically a colonialism justification simulator. If you want to survive, you need to have access to money and soldiers, and the most (only) reliable way to ensure you have enough is to attack and conquer your weaker neighbors. If you don't, you can be sure someone else will eventually come attack and conquer you. I suggested Freddie try playing one of the countries in the region our ancestors were from, and it contained horrible lies about how Africans enslaved each other even before white men came and started the slave trade. I don't like the game, and I want to stop Freddie from playing it. But I know I can't, at least not when he's off with his father (we have shared custody). And I don't want to undermine his parenting. I did speak to my ex briefly about it, but he just accused me of being "too emotional" and "letting what I wanted to believe blind me to the truth." He's certainly not going to stop Freddie without something forcing him to, and I don't have that kind leverage. At this point, l'm frustrated and frightened and I don't know how to help my son. Good, good, now buy 250 dollars worth of dlc for the game to be half playable. THAT GAME IS RACIST/SEXIST Please Mom, I just want to gaym. AND I WON'T ALLOW IT!!
