Barako, the Sun Chief Vs. Umvuthi, the Sunbird Comparison

It pisses me off to no end that we lost the barako and barakoa for generic birdmen simply because of a few idiots on Twitter who don't even know what the definition of racism is.

Rip barako

If you genuinely think the barako and barakoa are "racist" because they use tribal asethetics that says more about you than the barakoa or the creator of the mod itself.

I think they should bring back barako and barakoa and just make umvuthi a seperate boss barako and barakoa has more persenality while umvuthi has better animation they should bring back barako and barakoa rip barako and barakoa

Barako and the barakoanas had so much personality. The new one just had better animations.

Someone should create a mod with the Baraka so the two sun blessed ones could fight for the tittle of the "Sun King" or something

I don't understand the argument for the barakoas being racist. Their designs and inspiration have nothing to do with any depictions of African tribes or their cultures. The barakoas are just goblinoid creatures that are located in a tribal setting, it's not fair to immediately assume that they are meant to be representations of Africans. Just because they may vaguely resemble something that might appear to be a stereotype doesn't mean they themselves are meant to perpetuate or represent said stereotype. By that logic characters like knuckles the echidna from the sonic the hedgehog series should also be classified as racist since his character design has dreads that are reminiscent of a black person, furthermore knuckles is the last of his kind who were a tribe of indigenous echidnas that were located on a remote island that possesed weapons such as spears and dressed up as what you would perceive stereotypical African tribes to look like (facial paint, gold necklaces, tiki/ caveman esque attires, feathered clothing, Pygmy skin tones, ect ect). Should we throw that character, his people, and by extension many other characters across fiction away simply because they will offend a small minority of people online who don't even know anything about the backgrounds of said characters? Any sane person would automatically say no. Obviously everyone is entitled to their own opinions when it comes to this kind of stuff but it's clear as day that when you look at this situation through more objective lenses, the arguments for the barako and barakoas resembling any racial connotations lacks any real critical thought and falls apart once you start to assess them for what they truly are, which is just weirdos online getting offended over nothing.

"Old" ONE LOVE !!!

In what way was the original design racist? It's literally a unique design not representing any human tribe but rather some fictional sun tribe. Id get it if the name was the actual name of some tribe but that's not it either....

надеюсь кто-нибудь когда-нибудь сделает ресурс пак, возвращающий старую модельку Барако (Обамы))))))))

Y no seria mejor que el Barako clasico y el pajaro este esten en el mismo mod como tribus enemigas?, tipo Aldeanos con Saqueadores °<°

For me red Barako still best

Saying the barakoa are "racist" is like saying villagers are racist since they slightly resemble bad caricatures of jewish people with their abnormally large noses. Are we gonna remove them from the game too and blast Mojang on Twitter for using "racist stereotypes"?

im glad i grew up with old one the barako.BUT HELL YEAH THE NEW UPTADED ONE IS BETTER but still i prefer the oryginal becouse i grew up with the old one like most people that saw this video am i right?

WHAT DID THEY DO TO MY MAN BARAKO?

the new one is kinda trash and the old one is better because barako iq is so much better he even push the husk so high to block the husk and put the beam to them to die.

OLD BARAKO FOREVER !!!

I just noticed that's the umvuthi has the darkest dungeon Stress symbol thing
