Halo Infinite introduced a Juneteenth skin, the color palette for which is currently called 'Freedom'
Quinneapolis
but that is following a very hasty patch
Quinneapolis
to fix the fact that it was called 'Bonobo'
Quinneapolis
you know, the juneteenth content, named after a kind of ape

So it turns out that this actually is an EXTREMELY unfortunate accident involving placeholder text
EsperBot
which may seem unbelievable at first
EsperBot
(or, at least, suggests racism further down the pipe)
Quinneapolis
it's the name of some tool they use yeah but like
EsperBot
but it turns out that the tool 343 uses to handle all of the text strings in the game and generate placeholder text is called...Bonobo
Quinneapolis
someone... so many people had to OK that
EsperBot
Yeah SOMEONE hit publish on this and I expect that that person no longer works there

If I wasn’t already sick and tired of 343’s bullshit this sure would’ve gotten me there in a hurry
