I love the Lady who wants a lift to Lagras, her way of talking is amazing, and I could have listened to her for hours, I'm sure you know the one I mean, the one with the unfortunately unlucky horse :)
The content creators for this game are amazing too they’re still making videos about it on new subjects every few months and I don’t know how they do it 😂
@@mrnobody3161 think he did, yeah. Like, whichever section of the game Uncle first mentions it, I'm pretty sure it's in the episode covering that part of the game.
I personally believe there are other games that tackle racism in a more accurate way such as the 2006 title “Rockstar Games Presents Table Tennis”, but that’s just my personal opinion of course.
It's crazy how you've been pumping out these really long and well structured videos that are by far the most informative piece of content on one of the biggest games of all time, from the biggest video game publishers of all time. Yet you haven't gotten much recognision for your work, atleast not in the last 2 years. This is one of the best series' you'll find on youtube, truly a hidden gem.
These are better than any other “narrated Reddit post” style video essay that a billion other people are making You have a winning formula here, do not let it go to waste
What an RDR2 video released today that’s not just lazy AI voice UA-cam shorts? Been too long since I saw one of these videos, only like last week binged the playlist again (twice) Shame that this one is shorter tho, but maybe RDO and RDR1 will be covered like this too? Idk, cheers mate, thanks for something to watch while eating
I just finished watching the rest of the historically accurate series yesterday and was pleasantly surprised to see that this was uploaded earlier today. 😁
I'd love to see the reading list of sources. You have no clue how greay this series is for me and my personal readings. The primary sources you show are excellent too, if I may add, though some links to Primary and Secondary sources would go a long way. I know you're not a history teacher or like CynicalHisotrian, and citing books wiuld be a pain. Either way, love the videos and would love reading lists. Keep up the videos, I think we all love them. Im done glazing now.
Thanks for the suggestion! I've considered listing full books in the credits but it would be a bit awkward to format so I just list publishers instead. I've recently been thinking of setting up lists of relevant books for each video though, maybe on Goodreads-I'll look into it soon!
As always: Very interesting and well made. It would be very interesting to see a video on how historically accurate architecture, industry, buildings and infrastructure is as well. There is alot of detail in the world regarding such things!
I like that you criticized the depiction of the Klan in the game. It's good to remind people that it was largely just one of many decentralized revolutionary Southron groups (Redeemers, Redshirts, White League) during those times, and not as popular as the 2nd iteration of it. There's also more background to their inspiration from the Scots of burning crosses, because the original founders of the Klan were all Scots-Irish stock, so it was a sinister call-back for those roots.
Amazing video, but actually clicked on the video because i thought it was all about KKK. I think you should change the title to something like: how historicaly accurate is RDR2? Despite that, this is an amazing video.
just wondering whether a "how historically accurate are horses in rdr2" would be worth making a video...like the tack they wore and the breeds we see in the game and whether they existed at the time or were in the US. but rockstar probably got that all accurate and idk if the video would be very short or just boring, thought id mention it anyway cause i feel like it could be cool or even just the animals in general - i assume every wild animal is actually native to the area but there are a few dog breeds to look at too, idk
i’m pretty sure that western saddles have not been changed in decades (as someone who occasionally rides horses) i’m not sure, but horse back riding is a very old sport that people hang onto to keep traditional but looking into dog breeds would be interesting!
You can't just leave Abraham Lincoln's duel as a bullet point! Lincoln was challenged by James Shield to a duel, but as the person who was challenged Lincoln had the right to choose the weapon. Broadswords were not a common weapon at the time, at all, but Lincoln apparently had a set on hand and he chose them, rather than pistols or any other selection of sword, why? Lincoln, as many may know, was a large man, tall in stature and very fit. Shield had some balls already to challenge him, but he must have expected Lincoln to choose pistols in which case their physiques would not have mattered. But Lincoln chose the heaviest weapon available, walked over to a tree as shown in the illustration at 1:33 then chopped off a branch with one swing. Without any blood needing to be drawn or words being said Abraham Lincoln said to James Shield: "You don't want this fight." Then James promptly rescinded his challenge. It's one of my favourite stories from the time, Lincoln embodied the statement 'speak softly and carry a big stick.'
@@FranciscoFJM there’s no reason to make 2 separate videos on the racism and KKK accuracy, AND a goddamn ghost train Easter egg no one has seen instead of RDR1.
They're goofy in the game in real life they were a bunch of menaces by night and normal citizens by day. Many of them had prominent roles in their community too. Must have been a scary group to coexist with
@@borginburkes1819exactly. Not all whites were exactly fond of he Klan. They caught you being nice or just not spitting on them earned a visit from them.
People aren't, and have never been, a hivemind. Just because racism was common and widespread throughout the states, doesn't mean that literally everyone will agree. Don't be silly.
all the crazy stuff happening back then with domestic abuse and comitting genocide in the name of god really helps arthur, whos a murderer outlaw, seem like a nice guy
No, it's a duel. If you agree to fight someone, you agree to the chance that you may die. Your death is your fault, as you could just say no to the duel and if they shot you anyway, they'd be charged with murder
Thanks for watching-we're still not done with Red Dead Redemption 2 yet! What's your favourite random encounter in the game?
I’m pretty sure I met the actual devil inside a cave once.
That, or the man raised by wolves.
Ghost train
I love the Lady who wants a lift to Lagras, her way of talking is amazing, and I could have listened to her for hours, I'm sure you know the one I mean, the one with the unfortunately unlucky horse :)
I love the gold digger encounters, especially since they can have a dappled warmblood
@@viktorkallio4582 GREAT example. I just found a few examples of ghost trains in google. Worth the read!
Nearly 6 years on, and there's still stuff to look at. This is Rockstar's best title.
Just imagine how GTA 6 will be
The content creators for this game are amazing too they’re still making videos about it on new subjects every few months and I don’t know how they do it 😂
So far…
You had to make this claim on the kkk vid lol oof
@@OneFlewCuckooThat’s actually hilarious wtf, didn’t even think about that 💀😂🤯
Jon is also the hardest fist fight I found from an NPC. Once you have his hat, if you go back in to the bar wearing it, he will attack you
The only one harder is Tommy.
@@Chicken_sandwich52but that's because Tommy is a boss fight, he cannot be beaten before Mr Downes stops you.
@ArkayaStudios there's also a mutated kidney at Butcher Creek that's also apparently hard.
Do you dislike Maori's and their attempts at bringing back their language?
@@aanonymousindividualonthei9093 what?
How historically accurate is lumbago in red dead redemption 2?
100% accurate. They depicted lumbago in a way I wouldn't have expected any modern media capable of.
He covered that methinks. Check his Channel archive
@@mrnobody3161 think he did, yeah. Like, whichever section of the game Uncle first mentions it, I'm pretty sure it's in the episode covering that part of the game.
Omg it’s lumbago
I personally believe there are other games that tackle racism in a more accurate way such as the 2006 title “Rockstar Games Presents Table Tennis”, but that’s just my personal opinion of course.
holy hell I had no idea how much history there was behind that game, and sport 0-0
My favorite is Wii sports it really showed how terrible racism truly is
I’d like to take a moment to salute the brave moderator of this comments section

What a pleasant surprise to see a new Real pixels RDR2 video

Can’t wait for you to move to RDR1
I've been replaying rdr1, and yeah, I'm even more pumped than I already had been for it to get the real pixels treatment!
Very exited for mexican history
Always a joy seeing a real pixel video to pop on.
Amazing video, but actually clicked on the video because i thought it was all about KKK. I think you should change the title to something like: how historicaly accurate is RDR2? Despite that, this is an amazing video.
“Supreme first vice president” LMAO
Have you covered anything related to Brother Dorkins or Sister Calderon yet? The underground slavery to Caribbean islands is pretty interesting.

The best series on youtube!
Excellent work!
The best content on UA-cam. Or at least my favourite. Thanks, man.
I would love to see you do a video like this on mafia 3
This is my favorite series on UA-cam. It's like it was made for my brain. Amazing!
This is gonna be a good day now
It’s actually insane how much content this game has, like I can confidently say that this game can be played 3 times
Wake up babe, Real Pixels just dropped another RDR2 banger 🐐
Never stop making these videos
11:37 lol imagine your job title being “Supreme Lecturer” or “Supreme Secretary”
What about the real history behind the enemy gangs, or towns/settlements, or even the characters in the VDLG itself?
What a treat to wake up on a Monday morning to a new RealPixels video

You should do the real history of red dead redemption 1 next
This series is just the absolute best ❤
The ghost voices at Brandywine Drop is my favourite.
really great vid
The watchlists you’ve filled by researching this video.
You sound like a British alaan from smiling friends
9:57 maybe they were earliest users of those outfits. and by 1905 it became known by the public.
I'm from the UK, correctly in Spain on holiday but not going to miss another real history. ❤️
Add this thumbnail to the list of Brain injury memes
Fantastic work, as always :)
Waiting for rdr1's historical accuracy series
As I understand the RDR2 version of the kkk was mostly based on Django Unchained
It was mostly a joke, yes.
The encounters make the world feel real. This game really is a masterpiece.
The klan never spawn for me anymore
Thank you Allen from Smiling Friends for educating me about the klan
Jewel 🔫
Give me a Django unchained mod and a Lenny character model and let me go ham on these racists 💀
Is that you Lenny?
@@terrancebrown87💀💀 maybe brother
LENNNYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!
FOUND YA LENNY
While “American Venom” is playing.
Real Pixel has peaked
That title strikes fear in me for some reason 😅
Ur wrong there’s duels in Detroit every day
6:18 ayyyy thats my town!
Least out of pocket UA-cam video title:
Hey bro, your sound is beautiful ❤️
Bro is doing everything but RDR1 💀💀💀
What's the problem with that
@@FranciscoFJM there’s no reason to make 2 separate videos on the racism and KKK accuracy, AND a goddamn ghost train Easter egg no one has seen instead of RDR1.

I knew he was gonna talk about them
Well they were there for virtue signalling, consider how they are portrayed in the game. It's obviously parody over historical accuracy.
How is it "virtue signalling"? It's just a good mockery of wackos.
@@dmaxwell910901because by 1899 the Klan was dead and buried.
The IQ level is on point that’s for sure
History at 3AM
oh, they’re pretty accurate. i would know. don’t ask why, though
It isn't.
ive never been able to encounter the kkk in all 3 of my playthroughs of the game, i want to know how tf anyone manages to find them
I've always found them, you have to look near certain places at night iirc
@@dozenbuzzard2662 do u happen to remember where i should look?
@@86cutty442 iirc in the forest near Rhodes. The one that's on your right when going from the Clemens Point camp to Rhodes.
Summary: no
Oh no, I thought I was subscribed. My bad.
nice
I miss this game!
They're not historically accurate in the slightest, they're a popular culture caricature.
There, I saved you this inane video
Thank you for commenting 😊
@@RealPixels no problem 💖 (I don't remember leaving this comment)
@IncelLoser no, I was correct.
@IncelLoser the KKK wasnt even active in 1899.
I thought this was about the kkk not the 1800s
If it was historically accurate, 1890s American White man, Arthur, would've heard their speech and said "Yeah, that sounds about right".
Why are you upset that the main character wasn’t a racist? Why do you need Arthur to be a member of the klan
@@borginburkes1819exactly. Not all whites were exactly fond of he Klan. They caught you being nice or just not spitting on them earned a visit from them.
You dont need to out yourself like that.
Fucking weirdo
People aren't, and have never been, a hivemind. Just because racism was common and widespread throughout the states, doesn't mean that literally everyone will agree. Don't be silly.
I dunno. Whites were never fond of the Cross-burning KKK either.
That's something that everyone forgets. The Klan attacked everyone, whites included.
Right on time i just started rdr2 for 10th time.
Same I replay it every summer
I'm on my 9th
all the crazy stuff happening back then with domestic abuse and comitting genocide in the name of god really helps arthur, whos a murderer outlaw, seem like a nice guy
It's not a dual It's murder
No. It depends on the standards of a given time.
@@SQUAREHEADSAM1912 uh ok
No, it's a duel. If you agree to fight someone, you agree to the chance that you may die. Your death is your fault, as you could just say no to the duel and if they shot you anyway, they'd be charged with murder
