#ghetto style

The City of Slaughter.

Extended my test map from an older post (way, way older upload on this blog....)

originally i added the interior warehouse area for the sake of something i was gonna add in the LUA, but i ended up fixating on detailing it instead of working on the gamemode feature...

i think the touchups i made make the map look a bit better than it was, though still not very "ghetto like", as was my original intent,,,,, uhh,,,,, 10 or 11 months ago now? (well, fuck) and the way the buildings cut off is still completely dogwater, though that's something i'll fix in a later version if ever that comes :]

custom propoganda garfield and femtanyl grafitti drawn by @tdutb's immaculate tallent. decalized by me,

Hybrid Theory decal (processed) by me i just took a greyscale off google duckduckgo images, did a simple color to alpha, colored it, and added wear.

A small asset zoo / style guide map of a ghetto looking area, acting as a test map for gamemode functionality of a mode i'm making in Fortress Forever. Featuring the Milly grafitti from the last post.

I felt like sharing this here as i guess that's what the blog is for, and i kinda liked it so i wanted others to see it too.

The gamemode i'm testing on it is a variant of another custom gamemode called Murderball, with my variant being Slaughterball, because i couldn't come up with a better name.

In the original Murderball 4 teams are placed in a small to medium enclosed space, with a ball in the middle. to gain score for a team a player must take the ball and not get murdered. every 10 seconds score is added to the team, and if the all carrier (or the "baller") dies the ball returns to the center of the map, to be picked up again.

In Slaughterball the rules are the same, except the ball returns to one of a set of predetermined locations, instead of the same one every time. and has a short time it stays on the ground before teleporting away. i really like Murderball and see it as a good gamemode to goof off with friends on and have a bit of a warmup shooting, and with the few simple changes i'm making i feel it could be slightly expanded into a different experience.

In normal Murderball maps you are supposed to retrieve the ball to your base and hold it there, for additional safety, but in Slaughterball there will be no bases, and no safety. i'm aiming to slightly tone down camping this way and differentiate it from regular Murderball.

If you would like to play this map / Fortress Forever in general sometime, if i somehow got your attention with this post feel free to contact me on gumbuk 9#0948 on discord, the game doesn't have a stable playercount all the time, and the most effective method to get a game without getting lucky is to coordinate with someone, and i'll gladly be that someone. i love Fortress Forever and making content for it, and want to share the joy of playing it with as many as i can, so,

A majority of things like “you don’t wash your hair every day? Gross” is rooted in racism.

I’m using hair as an example for this, a majority of POC people (black, indigenous, Mexican, south Asian, islanders) have thick curly hair or thick hair in general, and hair styles that protect our hair from damage and in turn so we don’t have to wash it as frequently, it’s just how our hair is.

White people hear this and immediately call it gross or dirty. They have this mentality that they’re the beauty standard and their (taught) cleanliness routines are best. Mind you POCs taught them how to wash and some still don’t do it properly.

Same goes for hair style and body hair as well. Big curls are seen as beautiful on white people, but on POCs big curls or quote flashy and quote hair styles are seen as “uncivilized” “unkept” or “unprofessional”

On the topic of body hair when it’s being screamed in your face “you need to shave” or “being hairy as a girl is gross” when it’s aimed at POCs who once again tend to have dark thick hair all over regardless of sex/gender, it’s definitely a colonized beauty standard to remove it.

Too each their own I shave for sensory reasons, but when I was actively being told to do it, I didn’t want to.

Makeup and clothing styles seen as “ghetto” that are historically worn and created by Black Mexican and Indigenous people, only seen as acceptable when worn by a white person

Same with long nails and big layered jewelry. Which once again were created by black women and popularized by black, Mexican and indigenous women and two spirits.

POCs taking part in their culture and what has become a part out our cultures is seen as “scary” “loud” “ghetto” or “gross” but praised when it’s repackaged on white people as “brownie lips and Latina makeup” or “Street style/ Billie eilish style” or “Long nails like Kylie Jenner or Marc Jacob’s”

What’s a trend for white people is a result of what’s born out of struggle and resistance for POCs. They want to look like us, have mixed babies, pretend to be us, or dress up like us but they will never understand the struggles or go completely silent when we’re in trouble and actively need them to use their privileges to boost our voices.

Btw if you’re mixed I’m not grouping you in with white people and neither should you. You’re mixed you’re just as much a POC, no matter if you’re lighter skinned or not.
