i suggest we make a group to boycott using these pillars to make any structures in the future.

it's not racist or meant to be. how would you suggest they put the lights so dumba$$e$ don't think its a KKK symbol. i mean it's a pretty repetetive structure so anywhere you put the light it's gonna show up. should we outlaw lights that way nobody can see racist symbols ever.

Thats almost as retarted as the red heads who protested in front of wendy's saying the logo of the red headed girl was racist. BTW I am red headed and still think these people are retarted. Look theres a face on the moon.

I love how people hate this topic so much that they have to post in it. It just seems that the only 'hot' topics are the ones that have about 200 'this topic is stupid' posts in it. I won't hate on you TC, I thought it was pretty funny.

Maybe Cliffy B and Epic are working with the Resident Evil people who are all being controlled by Hitler whos hiding in the Nevada Mountains somewhere going by the gamertag *IpwnNoobs101*. I think were onto somethin here. I think im gonna go look through all of my games and try and find some more symbols.

Walt Disney used to use little tricks like this to put innappropriate content into their movies all the time. Maybe Epic did as well....or not. I don't care really.

And I thought the Resident Evil 5 situation was stupid! Man, this one takes the cake on how far some people are willing to go to start up controversy, or just show their extreme paranoia.

I can see it perfectly, maybe too perfectly... I think it wasa coincidence thou. Who would notice that, I am impressed. I was thinking more of a symbol than three pillars.

Interesting thread. EPIC obviously didn't do that on purpose, but you can still obviously make out the three k's in the light. You guys must have been bored to discover this lol.

They're just pillars, what just happened was someone pointed it out to you and you said "Oh yeah" Its the equivelant of someone seeing a cloud shaped like a bunny and points it out and you start seeing it. I believe the term is called matrixing.

Ok. I know this might just be coincedental or maybe some player has a sick imagination and it's spreading. But this morning someone pointed out that on the new Process map, you can see the letters " KKK " behind the Locust spawn on the 3 pillars. I can definately see it. Whether or not this was put in intentionally I have no idea. Judge for yourself.

chainsaw_happy

Just quoting the TC since some people obviously aren't reading what this poor guy wrote. He's not crying racism or saying this was done on purpose. Sounds like he just wanted to point this out in case if there was intent, it doesn't go ignored. I mean, for argument sake, if a designer did do that on purpose don't you think he/she should be repremanded?

Okaaaaay. So I gues BRIDGES are ****ING RACIST? WTF is wrong with you people that go looking for this stuff? First Resident Evil 5, now Gears of War? Gears is the most racial involving game to be MADE! I mean CUHMON! How many games have an asian man, hispanic (sp?) man, an african man, and a caucasian man all working TOGETHER? I haven't really seen a game like this ever. If anyone is racist, it's the people with the kind of mindset to find these unobvious things. Because I certainly would have never seen this in all that I live. Nice try, but I refuse your racism, and and embrace the multi-cultural game the Gears of War is.

Isn't it annoying yucky_straw? Most people here at Gamespot love to act offended off everything. If they go back and read the original post, they will see that the TC wasn't crying racism or anything, he just simply brought this up to our attention, and everyone is getting their pink panties in a bunch saying "WTF, get a life, this isn't racism, your stupid, sad and pathetic." I'm sure this guy will stop posting here since everyone gets so dramatic off of little stuff like this.

No, that's purely a coincidence. Triangles are the most stable shape for pillars...so...it's just your imagination and too many hours of gaming :P

Whelp, Epic knows the audience for this game well because it's filled with a lot of white racists online. I'm sure they rejoice everytime they see this.

I'm an idiot for stating the obvious? XboxLive and especially Gears have a lot of fools on there throwing out racial slurs and comments all the time. I've been in plenty of games and experienced it. Now you can deny it and act like RACISM doesn't exist online but it does. And all the people that are acting like the K's in that picture couldn't be a subliminal message are in denial.

Wow... horrible comparison. GTA San Andreas is a satire on American society. The game purposely puts offensive things in the game. Everybody who knows games knows that's what GTA does. And even then GTA still doesn't put KKK in the game.

This picture on the other hand does. I see it, and I'm sure others do. It's just that white people like to act like racism doesn't exist in videogames and that it has to be a coincidence.

Oh and by the way... the lady who was calling racism on RE5 is just ignorant to the series. Another horrible example
