What was racist and sexist in borderlands 3? I played it once so long ago and never finished so I can barely recall what happened in that game. I have no plans to go back to it either but I really would like a refresher on this :) the only thing I can remember is the bs they pulled with Aurelia

ive answered this a couple of times before and ill link my answers below but the whole Katagawa jr/Promethea arc is rooted in racist stereotypes, Aurelia being completely re-written into a villain for no reason (yes even the writers have stated they have no idea why shes evil now lmao), and then the clusterfuck of a mess that was guns love and tentacles all just makes the game uncomfortable.

Also, many people forget Balex's entire character which is...?? i hate my ex girlfriend??? like i genuinely do not see why he hates her so much lmfao other than for breaking up with him. he's a type-a incel character that is supposed to be 'funny' to the audience and others and its just violently uncomfortable. Aurelia again comes up here where she suddenly calls the players 'whores' for no reason?? like she has a point in tps where she refuses to curse at the robot but for some reason every other word that leaves her mouth is 'whore' ?? That isn't even getting into the fact vaughn has a girlfriend he got from rigging a game show -> said woman also has no speaking lines and only ever screams gibberish lmao

here's an ask i got about promethea's arc specifically that goes more in depth

again like. to some it might not be that bad but as a woc its just. horrid. i cant remember half the game because i was just entirely tuned out lol
