You say that shyt until you go running to Lucia though huh

Spoiler

Lucia and whomever else third stringer I use will do you in.

 

[Zero]

Fixed that for you.

You're right about that

 

[Ezekiel 25:17]

And there's posters on here defending these Resetera weirdos

Brazilian black breh

Other countries have black people too? Since when?

 

[CodeKansas]

Now he black?….he doesn’t strike me as ADOS/FBA

He isn't. Leroy Smith is, however. Most black characters in Tekken run the gamut of different backgrounds. This series probably handles that better than any other game, tbh.

He's always been black. Ya'll new age nikkas thinking ADOS is the end all, be all of blackness need to go ADIOS with that shyt. Like black folks need another divider and shyt.

There's not a end all be all mantra to it, but the distinction is necessary. Same color, different conditions, cultures, etc.

Yeah, different culture and nationalities, but still black. To think of it any different is just silly and pretentious.

San andreas exposed a lot of online dudes. All the bytching about culture and shyt and how they werent gonna play it, and now they try to use it as some sort of example of black characters done right in video games. Some of these fukkers make my head hurt

Breh, I remember when the game was first announced and white people online were throwing a fit because of a black lead on the IGN boards and other places.

Now they act like liking GTA San Andreas means they aren't racist and shyt. Its crazy the revisionism that they come up with.

Not really, but I'll let you cook. Black ppl aren't a monolith, nor is any one black person "fully modular" for another black person.

Yeah, we're not a monolith. That part is true. And of course no one is fully modular for another. That goes without saying really.

I don’t think y’all are actually disagreeing

 

[Mowgli]

If they just showed hairlines proper respect we'd be halfway to relaxing

 

[IShotTheSheriff]

if you read comment sections from p*ssy ass passive aggressive racists online that's on you. you empower them by letting them affect your psyche.

they like shyt to flies when it's Black anything online. see them in person they eyes down and they mute. this is why they feel empowered in anonymity. they are rarely willing to say that shyt with true identities.

Everything this man said

As a white dude, I do not understand these Kotaku comments stating that there's enough black representation in video games. Only games I've ever played as a black protagonist was the TWD Telltale Game, GTA V, and Spider-Man: MM. Seems overtly dismissive.

Probably the last time I'll ever read Kotaku comments.

Yeah man, been posting on SOHH/Coli since I was 14. I'm 29 now. Never hid it. I remember one time I posted a picture of my hand holding the steelbook for Infinity War and someone told me I needed to send him the digital code or he'd expose me for being white. Search my post history brother, not a single n-word

My theory is there's a good amount of other white dudes on here just pretending to be black. Thread for another day.
