Today in things that haven't happened yet:

Am I being unfair when I predict that this video game character's t-shirt is going to be a thing right-wingers will suddenly care about? Huh? What video game character's t-shirt? 

This one. Can you guess why?

Although it's not along walk from
Confederate imagery to Nazi.

Ok, not precisely that t-shirt, the one seen in the game is slightly different, but the point is that Cassidy, a character in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, wears a t-shirt with the Confederate flag on it. Or rather wore. According to Kotaku, the remaster re-release that's coming out next month apparently changes out the image and replaces it with a skull. Which, cool, except in the blurry, blink and you'll miss it shot from the trailer, the new shirt looks like some SS nonsense, so I'm not sure it's a huge improvement.

Rockstar, the developer, presumably removed the image because it's a symbol of slavery and hatred. It's the same reason all these statues are coming down in the South. And yeah, I know a lot of people argue it's about heritage or whatever, but it's a heritage of owning people and making them work for no money, so...

Also, who puts up statues to the losers in the first place?

done since, I don't know, the 1980's?

But what does this have to do with delicate conservative sensibilities? Well, nothing yet. The trailer's been out out for over a week and Kotaku's article about the t-shirt was published today. But this is the kind of thing they lose their shit over right? These are the people who fell all over each other writing homophobic tweets about bi-Superman earlier this month and nobody's cared about Superman as a character in years. It's only a matter or time before Fox News or Josh Mandel weighs in.

Not because any of them care about Grand Theft Auto, or creative freedom. In fact, video games usually only show up on the right's radar when they're blaming them for school shootings. But they'll care because they're always looking to open a new front in their bullshit culture war, and they'll call this cultural erasure or something.
