The last straw is ignorance

I know this will get locked etc but here is the deal

44 year old Halo fan.

Have stuck by and defended this game from day one.

Your recent mistake with the Juneteenth emblem is completely uncalled for. Halo is being uninstalled and it is a shame.

I hope you guys and Microsoft take a few weeks off and get your priorities straight. Even if this was an internal thing it’s still gross.

Peace out to decades of Halo fun.

They didn’t have to do anything for Juneteenth. At least they recognized it. And what exactly makes you so frustrated about it? I personally think the emblem looks OK.
Edit: They did change the name from Bombo. If that’s what you are infuriated by.

It is 100percent what I am infuriated about. The fact that it doesn’t seem to bother you is why this -Yoink!- continues to happen

Juneteenth? You’re not upset over the appalling state that the game is in but you’re only upset over an emblem?

Yes more so over the Juneteenth emblem. Naming it what they did was a complete sight of disrespect and shows why their game is is such a poor state.

@AshtonKvsh They named the emblem Bonobo. That’s a type of monkey.

What’s so hard to understand? That’s completely disrespectful.

It does bother me, but not to the point that I’m going to drop the franchise. They changed it to something more appropriate and will likely have another Job opening in the near future.

Can you elaborate? Some of us worked today and we haven’t had the time to look at the game’s selection of emblems noones gonna use

@RougeMyst07 Also the name they gave us was very Derogatory

I just told you what they did.

@AshtonKvsh They named the palette “Bonobo”

Okay, does it have a “bonobo” on it? I haven’t logged into the game and don’t plan to till later. I wanna check out the Destiny 2 shop for some free items but I’ll hop on infinite to grind challenges.

“more appropriate”? that was deliberate, its not like they named it after a monkey by chance. 343 is hiring racists.

Don’t blame you one bit.

They dropped the ball a little too hard.

The new Juneteenth emblem celebrating the end of slavery in the US has a singular color available to it and its named Bonobo. This is something at WORST should have been filtered out by QA but now its in the full release. Even if this is a woopsy in leaving a placeholder name, why are they being racist in a placeholder name? There is a 0% chance this was an accident since you could have literally named it A MYRIAD OF OTHER THINGS. Christ 343 what the hell.

So I just looked it up and apparently bonobos are monkeys? 343 probably named it that and released it to cause drama and uproar even though racism doesn’t really exist in the Halo fanbase.

COD on the other hand has an insane amount of racist activity in its fanbase.

Lmao I am considering renaming my account here “bonobo” just for the lolz
