Kotaku post calls for more black people in video games. Readers' heads explode.

[marcuz]

San Andreas is the GOAT but if we comparing it to whats been accused of being racist here the game is the most racist of all time, you'll struggle to find a video game that doesn't enforce as many racial stereotypes as GTA SA

i can agree with that

Don't get me started on Walking Dead show breh...I agree wit everything you said. Soon as I heard AMC got the series I just I was hoping HBO would get it cuz I knew AMC would butcher the comic. They didn't want a black alpha male character like Tyrese to take attention off Rick. But they can drag Shane's character out for two seasons

Tyrese and Rick was basically 1/1A not to mention the white girl that was in love with Tyrese. No way they gonna be doing that on TV. Michonne was easily the most popular character in the comics then they turn her into a mute on the show. It's all kinds of bullshyt.

I didn't know any of this shyt

the main character from mass effect is at least half black though

I would like black people to get in the game community. When it comes to gaming, there should be no difference regarding colors. I don't give a fukk if you're black, white, yellow, or whatever as long we have the same passion for games, then we're good.

I remember some stupid article about Resident Evil 5 being racist. How the hell can it be a racist game when one of your main character is a black woman? They even have a black supporting cast helping Chris and Sheva.

I'm offended on some guys that discriminate japanese games. They'll say it's just "another gay/nerdy anime shyt" game. I felt the same as the black people did. Of course, there also some nerdy anime freaks out there but still no way to generalize us asians.

I watch some silly, embarassing anime shows because I enjoy it. I don't watch or play games just to brag how cool I am. I did it to enjoy myself.

Reddas and Kiros were both non-stereotypical black guys tho neither were really main playable characters. The only example of a black dude who didn't follow a preset stereotype in an rpg I can think of is Harid from Romancing Saga 3.

His in-game sprite was noticeably very black.

Not only was he a warrior prince, he was the games arguable best swordsman and a natural leader. Tho they did fukkked him up in the remake when they made him white.

. The only non-stereotypical noble black in a jrpg and they whitewashed him :snoo p:

To think that there hasn't been a black character on his par since the 32 bit era is depressing :sn oop:

Bruh, that picture sums up your whole shyt. His sprite was darker you say?
Well why they turn him Indian in your pic?
I guess he was Jesus and they was like "why should the color matter"

Explaining who he was and what he did is essential to moving the plot forward. Lee wouldn't be Lee if we knew didn't know these things.
Of course he would have to explain himself.



Others weren't criminals but they were cannibals, rapists, murderers etc.

And I never said he wasn't a stereotype, I'm saying it isn't nearly
as bad as you're making it out to be.





Hope was the archetype emotional wimp.
He spends his entire time in the game being baby sat.
From Lightning to Snow.
Vanille ? Aloof, often plays stupid, if she were blond she'd be a walking
stereotype.
Lightning ? Again another moody, emotional stereotype.

And they have specific things they do during combat and cut scenes that are extensions of their character. It's apart of fleshing characters out.
Vanille is a perfect example of this, she's basically a girly girl with super powers.

You're reaching with the chocobo/chicken thing.
Carry guns ? So what now black characters can't have
guns otherwise it's a stereotype ? :childpl ease:

Maybe you don't personally don't like Sazh but he's the furthest thing from offensive.

This is one of the saddest post I have ever read on here
So because there was a rapist in the game that negates the black stereotype
Because one character is a wimp, that's the same thing as a black stereotype???

I wanna punch you in da face!!!

There wasn't shyt stereotypical about Lee's character.

He was married, he came from a two parent home, his family owned
a business.

He's not a thug.
Drug dealer.
Highschool drop out
or anything of that sort
but you idiots saw cop car and thought "OH MY ! STEREOTYPE RACE CARD ALERT!"

As for Final Fantasy, they play up parts of the characters personalities
ON PURPOSE, exaggeration IS FINAL FANTASY.
This is NOT UNIQUE TO SAZH OR BARRETT.
Everyone gets that treatment.

And don't bother replying cause I already said I'm done with the sh1t.

What needs to be done to alleviate this issue is for more black folks to create games independent of some large white owned corporation. More black indie devs basically.

after looking at this thread since it popped up and never entered it, I came in to post exactly that.

It's WAAAAY past time for black people to stop bytching, moaning and whining about how there needs to be more "blacks in blah blah", basically begging to be included in every fukking thing.

you want to be in more video games but you're tired of being represented by Balrog and Barrett?

Do it yourself and make it look respectable.

Bet it cant be done without resorting to the same clowning and cliched buffoonish shyt they criticize every other race for showing....

then they'll cry because it flopped.

This is why I enjoyed sleeping dogs so much even though sandbox type games aren't my favorite....it just felt good playing as a non-white main character in a game/world with little to no white white people at all

even though I'm an uncharted fanboy I have to admit that it felt weird in the 1st and 3rd games playing as some clean-cut white guy killing hundreds of brown-skinned people over and over.

the only white woman in the game i ran into, i blatantly cheated on and never called her back

even if it was emma stone

Only a person with something to hide would say "And don't reply :sadbron" but your not a mod. So you can't silence a response because your afraid of the answers. The thing about the LEE character is you point to all these other things about him TO SAY "See, the criminal angle just disappers"
What you don't seem to understand is a black character is always presented as a criminal.
I don't care if you later found out he's a good guy. They normally are
Perception is reality, you ever hear of that statement before?
If you can even find a black character, you'll find those stereotypes/stigma's attached to them no matter what the game/movie/opinion from some random white person.

Cole Train Baby, woooooooooooo
