I wonder if theres a formula to creating likable black protagonists and supporting characters without angering the gaming audience or the majority of /v/.
>>
you posted this yesterday, did you not get the answer you wanted you retard
>>
There is. It's called "Creating them before mid 2013 when /v/ got mindbroken"

And now it's "Make them women you want to fuck"
>>
yeah, you create a character then make him black. not you create a black then you make him a character
>>
a black character that doesn't push any political agenda
in other words, no, it's impossible

>All throughout the gamergate era I was being told by my leftist friends that to see how everything is political, one must look at the reasons behind why choices were made.
>A common example of this was why pac-man was made. Namco wanted a game that appealed to both men and women, and to the Japanese, a common "hobby" for women was eating.
>Ergo they made a game about a hero who eats.
>This second level thinking was viewed as a vital step to understanding art and they advocated for it near constantly.

As a nigger I want to see more black women that are sexy in games. Not these ugly bitches they are pulling from Hollywood or fucking Etheopia. I swear they are trying to dissuade us from loving our own women. Don't get me wrong white bitches are hot but I get turned off thinking about having a mullato child.

Barret is probably the best written character in FFVII besides Cloud himself, but yeah, that's another old example. I'm not going to pretend game writing hasn't gotten worse or that there were never racist jokes on 4chan, because that would be silly, but people here are just too mindbroken.

Stop worshipping them. Like Yasuke who is completely irrelevant, accomplished nothing noteworthy and should've been forgotten to history. It really is weird how even people who like blacks have this weird sentiment like "we need a special black guy for the game/movie :)" "uhhm where's my special black guy?" "This character is based! Oh and did I mention he's BLACK?! :)" it's just fucking weird and I know you don't do this with other races.

Cut the thug crap. No one enjoys thug behavior, white or black, because it reeks of hostility and rudeness. Thug mentality is downright not attractive to anyone but holes ready to exploit it for whatever they can. It's pure antisocial behavior. Remove it and suddenly a character is sociable and more accepted. Even if you tone it down to a 3 suddenly a character is more likeable. Thug Behavior, its glorification, and imitation has been a disaster for the minority stereotype.

This behavior makes sense when you realize that these "people" have never contributed anything worthwhile to the world as a collective, never built successful societies on their own, always been at the very bottom of societal hierarchies even in non-western societies where they can't use "racism" as a scapegoat for all their problems. Their inferiority complex is hardcoded into their very being, that's why they do random shit to seek approval or gain attention.

They are a slave race. Always been, always will be.

I literally came here to say this. 99% of the "liked" black characters are literally just pre-2016 election tourism mindbreaking.

Stereotypical features. Their lips aren't huge and pink, Rochelle doesn't have a huge ass, Coach being fat isn't exclusive to blacks, nor is Louis sporting an afro. At most Coach is tall and both him and Louis are bald. Rochelle doesn't even talk like a hoodrat. You can just tell by their voices that they were voiced by blacks.

Frozone is a great character but he could easily be a white man outside of his particular way of speaking and how he looks, on top of that he's cool, heroic, likeable. Same with cyborg though because of American culture cyborg being a former football star turned science project is more likely to work as a black guy. I think for example everyone who played gta5 liked Lamar despite being very much a hood nigga because he wasn't just a retarded hood nigga but a multi-faceted character. If girl though

How about you make them cool and charismatic instead of insufferable and abrasive? And no, acting like a Californian while effortlessly winning in lame unimpressive ways is not cool.
Actually, forget all that, how about we just start firing shitty writers and character designers/modellers? You don't need to ask the audience how you can make it better, you need to ask yourself why you're hiring people that can't make something good to begin with. They certainly aren't doing a better job with the non-black characters they make in these games; they even manage to make dogs and cats unlikeable.

Simple: Make a good character that happens to be black.
There is so much depth to real people. History, likes, dislikes, habits, daily life, dreams, aspirations, etc etc etc. To reduce a character to their exterior is stripping away anything that would make them unique. I see black people all the time, why emphasize that your character is black? What makes this character worth rooting for?

Static is one of the greatest Black characters because his is real representation. Virgil lives in a low-income urban neighborhood that could be almost anywhere in America. It's a real, common, lived experience for tons of guys like him. His family is protestant Christian, which is by far the most common religion among Black Americans. He's kind of a skinny nerd, but isn't a super-genius. He runs into racists every now and then, but his life is dominated by interactions with other Black Americans just like him because that's the majority of who became the Bang Babies.

>>722495919
This is a large part of Virgil's character. He, just like most young Black American boys, is attracted to the freedom of the gangster lifestyle. It's what leads to his origin story. But he was raised to value placing others above himself, largely due to his social-worker-and-devout-Christian father and mother who died as a nurse caring for people during a riot. Virgil is relatable but aspirational, like a real hero.

Part of the reason people can't stand Miles Morales, as a counterpoint, is because his lived experience is alien to most Americans. He lives in NYC, which is unique and vastly different from most American cities and suburbs. His father is a cop and his mother is Puerto Rican, but neither of them seem to be explicitly religious in even a cultural manner. Miles is "super" smart like Peter Parker, but also fairly popular at school compared to Peter instead of being a dweeb. Where Virgil stands against gangsters firmly in his private and hero life, Miles routinely flirts with and engages with criminal elements to be "cool", which is played off as just him being true to his Black identity, demeaning the character of his family and people group(s). Nobody likes Miles because he is only relatable for a small subsection of people and is portrayed as a more flawed hero (which is normal for Marvel versus DC) than an aspirational one.

Occupy Wallstreet happened and it scared globalist banker jews so they had to inflame racial tensions to stop a class war. That being said, the problem was allowed to propagate since 60s and this was always end game. Like the ancient Greeks said, you can not have a democracy if it's not homogeneous.

The only people not racist on the entire planet are brainwashed Whites. We're relearning that when you're racist you have clean and quiet public spaces and politicians are more scared for their lives when they think about politically raping your people, your nation, your family, and you.

It helps that most of the issues he goes through aren't exclusive to black people. When he goes back in time to try and stop his mom's death but can't, because that would mean several other people die in her place, it's written in a way that is universally understood by anyone. Even the episode where he goes to Africa to visit his ancestral homeland can be emphasized by non-blacks who trace their bloodlines to other places outside America like France or California, and even then the main plot of that episode still focused on Virgil doing superhero stuff.

VI. Toxicology (see attached report for full details; testing performed on antemortem blood specimens collected 5/25/20 at 9:00 p.m. at HHC and on postmortem urine)

A. Blood drug and novel psychoactive substances screens:

1. Fentanyl 11 ng/mL

2. Norfentanyl 5.6 ng/mL

3. 4-ANPP 0.65 ng/mL

4. Methamphetamine 19 ng/mL

5. 11-Hydroxy Delta-9 THC 1.2 ng/mL; Delta-9 Carboxy THC 42 ng/mL; Delta-9 THC 2.9 ng/mL

6. Cotinine positive

7. Caffeine positive

he estimated lethal dose of fentanyl in humans is 2 mg. The recommended serum concentration for analgesia is 1–2 ng/ml and for anaesthesia it is 10–20 ng/ml. Blood concentrations of approximately 7 ng/ml or greater have been associated with fatalities where poly-substance use was involved.

The key is to make cool black mcs.
1. Cool design (simple, stylistic and not trying to follow trends like the killmonger locs).
2. Cool personality (mix between seriousness, comedic and down-to-earth; don't come off as preachy and entitled)
3. Flaws (don't make them mary sues/gary stues, give them a weakness that other characters point out and have them self-reflect)
4. Likable traits (very easy to do, see 2; but also, give them a moral compass that everyone can generally agree with and move accordingly with it.)
5. Cool powers/gimmicks (now, you can focus on giving them cool feats and hyping them up)

harpies are greco-roman and thor is norse, you literally picked the two whitest mythologies.

The two black characters from Deathloop are completely inoffensive. Regardless of what you think of the game, there's nothing wrong with them. Still got shitposted to death because /v/ is mindbroken now.

So why are we disagreeing? Lee from Walking Dead, Demoman from TF2, etc, none of them had even 5% of the vitriol. There's a very clear difference between a black character just existing and being allowed to exist on /v/ pre-2013 and what happens now post-2013 (Not 2016, by the way, 2013)

No one agreed with you back then and to this day you'll still get a lot of disagreement for stating that. Had he debuted now for the first time, you'd be one of millions shitting on him and saying that. That's ultimately my point.

>I wonder if theres a formula to creating likable black protagonists and supporting characters without angering the gaming audience or the majority of /v/.
Black people as in overt American style West Africans with fish lips, jutting ape mandibles, wide noses and kinky hair tend to be associated with chaos, lower cognitive function and retarded violence. It's a terribly ugly phenotype as well, probably only behind australian aboriginals. So why would anyone with the taste to make a good game include them, especially when rightfully portraying them as genuine thugs/villains/hotheads/crazies risks negative media attention because you just done a racist? These are some of the reasons that it's mostly jewish-owned western corpo studios shoehorning insincere versions of them into settings outside of contemporary USA (and thus automatically intruding on European or Asian derived settings or mythologies and receiving chud/"gamer" backlash, because sub-Saharan Africa is an unproductive shithole with 0 soft power and mind share aside from gore videos and nigerian phone scammers), somewhat like how people get pitbulls as house pets in an attempt to prove some kind of point, or in an attempt to reach new ~international~ markets.

To your question, make your black characters appealing (thus stripping them of many Black(TM) properties), don't be afraid to lean into stereotypes and/or give them grave weaknesses/faults (at your own risk). This was my favorite character in Engage, but not sure if she even qualifies as black given that she's neotenic, straight-haired and sweet

I remember some nerdy black girl that lived in a trailer park and spent all her time making mansions in Second Life.

That's because Valve "accidentally" cut half of her recorded dialogue.
