Just ahead of Thanksgiving, Gaijin Entertainment tweeted out a meme to get the gamers riled up for their latest update. Well, on November 27th, 2019, they definitely got people riled up, but probably not in the way they expected.
The tweet simply stated… “Ready to get BLACKED…?” and it contained a short 14 second clip, which you can check out below.

As you can see, it features a smaller tan tank being surrounded by a bunch of Panzers, mimicking the disturbingly iconic image that has gone viral around the web from Blacked.com, featuring a bunch of tall, dark-skinned men, leering with a predatory gaze at a fair-skinned maiden. The intent is inescapably obvious.
Some of the people in the comment thread were actually unfamiliar with the meme, so a few users posted up what Gaijin Entertainment’s PR person was referring to.
You can check it out below, but warning… it’s obviously not safe for work.

This was obviously not received very well by some of the Twitter followers, who didn’t follow the War Thunder account to be bombarded with references to someone’s degenerate kinks, while others laughed it off. A few didn’t like the implications of a 12+ game referencing degenerate porn, while a few more argued that since they didn’t actually mention the website or the actors involved, it wasn’t that bad. However, any kid who searches up “Blacked” or attempts to find out what they’re referencing will be scarred for life.
Technically, if they really wanted to win over everyone and leave the Social Justice troglodytes screaming and withering in pain, they could have just posted up pictures of tanks as hot, big-tiddy anime girls. Just saying.
Anyway, at the end of the day the War Thunder account generated more than 42 thousand likes as of the writing of this article, so they probably see it as a success.
