The Oregon Trail immediately starts out with woke radical far left ideology. Is this part of the hundreds of millions of dollars of American tax dollars the Biden Administration gave to video game companies for woke DEI policies? I do not know the answer to that question. I do find it suspicious that this video game would include that right at the beginning. Modern day Native Americans were consulted on The Oregon Trail. Ancestors of pioneers were not consulted.

“Ancestors of pioneers were not consulted.”
But in the likely case that you’re confusing ancestors with descendants like the moron you are, given that we are apparently talking about a game made in the USA, there would be little need to consult the descendants of pioneers, because a lot if not the majority of the staff ARE descendants of pioneers.
“The Oregon Trail” just happens to be one of the favourite games of LGR’s Clint Basinger, playing such on early Apple & IBM computers. Just as several months ago he reviewed “DOOM: The Dark Ages”: another of his favourites as he’s always been a big fan of id Software’s works. The latter has a black man and a - who later turns out to be an extremely powerful - woman aiding the Slayer. Who is later brought back from the dead.
As he’s mentioned twice at most in his vids that he goes to church thus he’s a Christian, why doesn’t Clint care about so-called ‘Necromancy’ even remotely connected to videogames, Paul Buggery…?!

Right, they also have included bits about escaped slaves and such. And there are multiple other trails and experiences offered, such as being cooks on the Chisholm Trail, or being members of eastern tribes pushed west.
What they’ve done in this most recent version of the game is created a more historically accurate experience, and it is fascinating to play.

Yeah, the new version really rocks.
And, yeah, what Paul thinks of as ‘accurate history’ is the stuff that celebrates European male ‘achievements’, and never talks about anything that white people have done that isn’t perfect. Oh, and according to his history, women didn’t exist, Native Americans were evil monsters who hated these perfect Europeans for no reason, and slavery was good for Black people and they are just ungrateful for not appreciating the sacrifices the slave owners made by owning them.
It doesn’t matter to him that none of this makes sense, he just wants to go back to a world where everyone had to be hyper focused on making white people comfortable. And even though we’re technically still in that world today, it’s gotten slightly better for others, which is unbearable for people like Paul.
So, OP is angry at an educational game about Manifest Destiny showing how Native Americans felt during the settlement of the West?

Given that I love playing management and historical games on itch.io and that the original Oregon Trail looked interesting, this new version looks superb.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
