It's entirely a big deal, but this is fucking stupid.

it's only messed up because it no longer reflects reality. I'm all for people tearing down confederate flags in real life but why sanitize a game that derives a lot of its content from hamfisted satire/criticism idk

Go for it. I'm not afraid of dying, as a matter of fact, I can't wait for it to happen.

that's more believable than people associating the confederate flag solely with dukes.
whatever i guess people are that dumb why was i ever surprised

I would suggest most of the world outside of America associates the flag with the Dukes of Hazzard. Because of TV
No one gives a fuck about America, outside of America. Literally no one. They care about their own countrys history generally, I mean no American knows anything about any other country so why would they think that the same lack of things are being taught in schools in other parts of the world?

To be fair "railroad" is a weird term for something that doesn't really involve rails. As a child you can't help but be confused by it. "Freed slaves network" would have been much better.

Yeah, they definitely messed up on the name. Their ability to market towards children was hamstrung.

It would be like calling Minichan the Immaculate Platypus. It's a dumb name because Minichan is neither immaculate nor a platypus.
I get "underground", right, because this was all clandestine back then. But "railroad"? Seriously? They might as well have called it the underground chariot or the underground ferry.

It does sound ideal for sneakily inserting into everyday conversation. Talk of "the railroad" is less liable to attract attention than chatting about "the Freed Slaves Network".

did they even call it "the underground railroad" at the time? sometimes later writings will name something and terms come into more general usage much later

it was, in fact, known as the underground railroad at the time!
The metaphor of the railroad was used to teach and propagate information about where to hide and who was your friend along the way.
