"Wait for official instructions"... heh, wait MY ASS.
>/v/ claims to hate black characters in vidya>/v/ fucking adores CoachMake it make sense.
kill all sons of bitches, that's my official instructions
>>739099404Very few people, even on /v/, always hate all black characters automatically no matter what. The reason /v/ posters (usually) hate on nigs is because they're extremely likely to be shit character's designed for the purpose of the american religion of worshipping niggers. It's perfectly possible for a character to be cool and be black. Japanese games do it pretty well since they're not wrapped up in the nigger worship religion, so they can just make cool bros like Barret or Drebin or Rodin or Vivi. American companies can only pull this off rarely because they have to overcome their gay instinct to make them Saint Floydian.Sadly the disease is starting to spread to japan now, though, and Kojima has recently come down with a terminal case of DebraWilson in his latest game
>>739099657>debra wilson is badShe's ugly but she is a great actress and an even better VA/mocap model.
>>739099404Coach came out when dumbass teenagers and manchildren weren't constantly bombarded on every website with how much they should hate things for inane reasons. That's the only meaningful distinction between a game that came out in 2009 and a game that came out today. There was no fucking secret element to it, it's that worse people got more vocal in a consolidated internet.
zombies?
>>739099404>election tourist thinks /v/ is one person
>>739099404Everyone loves black characters when they're big goofy straight-talking well-meaning dudes that remind you of that older black guy you know irl.
>>739099839She did a good job as Savathun and the deadlock patron but yeah she isnt the prettiest girl out there and the scanning tech make her look uncanny. Specially her eyes.
>>739099404Coach is funny and endearing.
>>739100049>big goofy straight-talking well-meaning dudes that remind you of that older black guy you know irlmy father's longtime work friend is this guyI only recently learned he is 100% mexican lmao
THIS USED TO BE A NICE NEIGHBOURHOOD
>>739101146notice how everyone loves coach and louis but cannot stand rochelle. same with cole in gears of war. you can have fantastic black characters without shitting it up and these are prime examples
>>739099657>Saint Floydian
>>739101629PILLS HERE
>>739102283fuck yeah
>>739099404Big lovely guy without a chip on his shoulder. Why wouldn't it make sense?
>>739099404he isn't zesty like other blacks in games.
>>739099404If all black people were just Coach, Rochelle, and Louis, then no one would hate black peopleSadly they are fantasy characters
>>739099404Entirely the consequence of the fact the game was released 15 years ago. If it was released today, /v/ would have a different reaction.
>>739101629Speak for yourself
>>739101629Rochelle just has no character to speak of.
>>739099404>Make it make sense.Coach is like Coletrain. A walking memelord who wasn't made with a hooknosed checklist in mind.
I like how the leader in hiding of the Illuminati is black but a quadroon that a lot of players just assume to be white
>>739099404no, you claim we're all irredeemable racists for your own political bullshit. you're evil for casting such wide and dark shadows on your fellow man
>>739099404He’s black, but black is not all he is
>>739102717You didn't have to expose your illiteracy like that.
>>739097345>Heh... wait my FAT BLACK MONKEY ASS
>>739101629>Coletrain got all of the attention>no one remembers Jace or the son of Marcus that had his own knock off versionTai was cool before he blew his brain out.
why cant modern games have badass trailers like the ones for l4d and l4d2and the meet the team videosfuck why was valve so fucking good back in the day, ils literally insane how peak they used to be
>>739101629rochelle had all of her good voicelines removed.once added back she's alright.
>>739102826/thread
>>739101629nobody likes Louis besides pills memeRochelle got hit hard by having all of her good lines unused until Last Stand
>>739102398Funny that the stereotypical caricatures are actually the fantastical ones and the actual black people you meet face-to-face turn out to be worse than that
>>739100049What about sneaky little black girls?
>>739102530repeating a lie enough times doesn't make it true, but it figures you would be using nazi tactics
>>739102530This obviously
>>739103450>nobody likes LouisObjectively wrong
I hate 4chan.
>>739101629Rochelle isn't bad, she's just boring. In a series full of fun characters nonetheless.
>>739101629Rochelle's issue is that she is the Jannetty to the ultra rare Triple Michaels that are Coach, Nick and Ellis .She ain't a bad character on her own, she just gets massive outshined by the other three.
>>739099404we reserve the right to designate honorary aryans
>>739103546give me one quote of his without googling or posting the pills meme
>>739102530/v/ will act like this isn't true >>739103502 and then something like pic gets announced and /v/ instantaneously flips their shit.
>>739103741>Stairs are a good workout!I only know this one because of the gmod idiot box
>>739102980it was just gaming in general back in the 2000shttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MapTlW80f6Yfind me a modern videogame ad even half as cool as this one
>>739103769>"/v/ will say Y is not true but then Y is released and they flip their shit!"almost as if the issue is deeper than race.have YOU tried not being a racist that uses actual nazi propaganda tactics?:)
>>739099404>written to be an enjoyable character rather than a mouthpiece for current politics>is put in a setting where him being there actually makes sense (the deep south)these two things alone make him better than 90% of black characters in vidya
>>739103741>Run or shoot? RUN OR SHOOT?
>some anons itt acting like /v/ isn't extremely racist and instantly hates all non-white characters on sight nowadaysLiterally the only exception made is if the brown character is a cute girl, and even then its still 50/50 on if anons will start gooning or spamming "nigger" in the thread.
>>739103810>is put in a setting where him being there actually makes sense (the deep south)pic was that and /v/ still called it a woke nigger game
>>739103741>Keep that hair short, sweet pea
>>739103741THAT'A A CRAZY ZOMBIE!POW!Look at that zombie jumping on 'em!Bill-san, baka desu.And the one where he promises to give everyone jobs and teach Francis how to read
>>739103371Is there a list of removed voicelines? Was it because the lines didn't line up with mOdErN AuDiEnCes?
>It's a Hard Rain on Expert episode
>>739099404Same situation with Barret or Lee, they are likeable and well written characters and the fact they are black is inconsequential
>>739099404Living strawmen post on 4chan all the time
>>739099404As always Coach was a good character who just happened to be black. The game could've been completely serviceable with a loudmouthed redneck in his place. I don't even remember if he had anything to say about burger skin color politics.Same can't be said for whatever is going in big games these days.
>>739103806Almost as if you're full of shit.
>>739103965awwwww an angry leftwing neo-nazi is mad that their racism isnt being accepted? :)
>>739103806>>739103986>have YOU tried not being a racistnta but I thought everyone here was racist
>>739103887>Bill-san, baka desunice
Boomer blacks are cool. Zoomer blacks are cringe>But Clementine Clementine was born in 1994 therefore she is a boomer
>>739103875Nigger that is insanely woke with the fucking nose piercing, and I'm black.
>>739101629speak for yourself, Ro is my gal
>>739104006we are, but somehow we are always less of racists than this sort always is.
>>739099915Maybe having Lord of the rings with black nigger elves, black Anne Boleyn black Cleopatra, etc might have something to do with it
>>739099915why are we pretending like black characters haven't been shoved into media just to make a political statement instead of just being characters who happen to be black
Okay but look at this.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_1zzRLMHlDM
>/v/ unironically believes it would not hate Coach if the game was released todayWhat kind of cognitive dissonance is this?
The left 4 dead 2 cast would not be possible today, as it's too white as is with Nick AND Ellis.
Coach gets brought up a lot as the lucky one for coming out before /v/ had such a violent negative reaction to any black people showing up in their vidya, but pic is the true lucky one.iirc silent hill is also putting a black scotsman in their new game and /v/ went mental, saying that black scots aren't a thing.
>>739104143You are pretending to be offended by an imaginary scenario, how banal.
>>739102398I don't like Rochelle
>>739099404Hehehe... You see that shit?
>>739104171fun fact nmh2 also had a black scot
Okay, and people don't mind Sheva either.So what's this imaginary cutoff point where we're forced to hate black people and not just blatant racebait-pandering?2024? 2025? Yesterday? I didn't get the memo.
>>739104158Redneck hick would still be a thing imo. But I would assume that Nick would get replaced with a Mexican or something like that.He was always the one who stuck out the most in the group while everyone else felt like someone from the deep south.
>I'm supposed to hate this now because I have the common sense to dislike woke shit.
I hope mine's a football
>>739104257nick was probably run out of wherever he came from after scamming a bunch of people and somehow ended up in louisiana
What do we think of Rochelle?
>>739104257They would have Ellis be openly hostile and racist at the beginning but slowly overcome his ignorance and see the error of his ways

>>739104353>>739104032
>>739104285Nobody itt is saying that you need to retroactively hate any black characters or dislike any future ones.But acting like /v/ doesn't flip a switch and go full racist at the sight of any black person showing up in a video game now is being equally disingenuous.Anons itt will say that the personality is what dictates whether a black character is ultimately liked or not (actually it's just whether or not the black character is a hot girl), but anons on /v/ very rarely play vidya, and especially nothing that they already deem to be woke political nonsense (because a black person is in it) to determine whether or not the character was actually deserving of the hate they got when first revealed. It's just that initial hit of ragebait, and then most anons move on to the next thing to get mad at. Yeah, /v/ never had an issue calling people niggers, but to act like that's anywhere close to what /v/ acts like now after the place got flooded with election tourists is just denying reality.
>>739104464you are replying to someone trying to start shit.
>>739099404speak for yourself, all my characters are big titty women in bikinis, the mods even replace voicelines now
>>739104353That's not Rochelle
>>739104464Right, in your mind that's the case, got it.
>>739099404Make it make sense?Here you go, now kill yourself
>>739104095for me, it's https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HCdn0zg6NDM
>>739104464Name TWO recent black characters that got unwarranted hate for being black and are actually good.
>>739104203You are incorrect.
> So that's a Spitter, huh? Do you think she's single?
>>739104637Frey Holland and Yasuke
>>739104725Wait those are both horrible characters.
>make some sweeping judgement about all of /v/>instant (You)sIs it really that simple?
>>739104725I JUSTGUYSI JUST CAST A SPELLWITH MYFRICKIN'MINDTHAT WAS A THING THAT JUST HAPPENEDSO WE'RE DOING THIS NOW?
>>739104801HE'S... RIGHT BEHIND ME, ISN'T HE?
>>739104637Basilio, Nagoriyuki, Hazel and Peppermint (you'd think that last one would be Macaron, but I saw Peppermint getting more hate).
>>739099915>Coach came out when dumbass teenagers and manchildren weren't constantly bombarded on every website with how much they should hate things for inane reasonsthis anon is right. it came out before black lives matter told minorities and self-hating whites to hate white people. there wasn't much tension between ethnic groups. everyone just thought they were in the same boat.but then the corporations decided enough is enough and started blasting us with pyops to make us hate each other. this was a move to stop the occupy wallstreet movement, which had united the lower classes, regardless of ethnic group, against the elites. divide & conquer as they call it.
>>739097345>WEIGHT MY ASSI don't get it
>>739102530If it was released today, we all know the modern writers couldn't resist using them to whine about whitey and you know it
>>739104885I said two, can't you even count?And I don't know any of these characters, sorry.You can say whatever you want about them and I won't be able to say yay or nay.
>>739104770>sweeping judgementIs it really a sweeping judgement if it's true?/v/ is racist and any game major game announcement that shows a prominent black character will catch hell for it here.
>>739104967>He's doing it again.
>>739104934This.
>>739104637Rush and Levaine from Borderlands 4.
>"Kill all fucking niggers, that's my official instructions."Did Ellis forget about Coach? Did the writers?
>>739104095Huh. Apparently I already had this Liked...Based Past Me.
>>739105035And you are absolutely sure they are both good characters and hated for being black, and not the fact that Borderlands 4 is literal fucking shit?
>>739100049of course you would like them when they are shucking and jiving
>>739104967>Is it really a sweeping judgement if it's true?That's like saying "all black people are thieves" because many of them are. In either case passing judgement on such a wide swath of people is illogical and makes you look ignorant.
>>739104637Pretty much every Debra Wilson facescanned character.
>>739105158And those are good characters to you?
>>739104637Colt from DeathloopDie Hardman>>739104885You know, I don't even recognize Peppermint as black. She just seems tanned to me.
>>739105267Colt wasn't hated for being black, the game he's in is just bad. Don't conflate the two, of course characters from bad games would be disliked by proxy.Die Hardman's not hated for being black.
>>739105131Damn straight I would. I had a black neighbor who was in his 70s, curly white hair, spent most of his time on the porch smoking a tobacco pipe on his rocking chair, and always greeted you with a laugh and a "How you doin' man!" in a vaguely bayou accent, he was awesome
>>739105326>Colt wasn't hated for being blackHe absolutely was.
>>739105326>Colt wasn't hated for being black, the game he's in is just badIf that was ever true, /v/ would despise all gacha characters.
>>739105267>>739105373It wasn't Colt specifically, it was the entire game being regurgitated Arkaneslop-but-black
>>739105373Because he's a character in an obejctively bad game. It was obvious from the first trailers that the game's fucking trash and the first nail in Arkanes coffin, good riddance to that shitpile of a studio.
>>739105412And many people do?Oh wait, I almost forgot.>>739104770
>>739105158>>739105212I liked Cere Junda in Jedi Survivors. She was ok in Death Stranding 2, but it was a pretty nothing role like everyone else not in the main cast.
>it's because the game was bad>it's because the writing was poor>it's because the character was unfitting for the setting>etc.When did /v/ suddenly get filled with non-racists?
>>739105504Debra facescan is generally disliked for being the telltale sign of >Minor character played by Debra WilsonYour eyes glaze over instantly and you know you literally don't have to care about anything they say or what happens to them.It's offensively inoffensive.
>>739105050coach isnt a nigger so ellis was allowed to say it infront of him
>>739104464People are less willing to assume good intentions when they show up, but acting as though black characters from modern games haven't been well received is equally disingenuous, a notable example being pic rel.
>>739105959/v/ only really gets upset if the black character is a main character, I can't really remember the last time /v/ got pissed at some side/background black guy.

Why do anons even bother replying to this bait thread in earnest when it's just bait after bait, sweeping statement after sweeping statement. /v/ hates idpol pandering tokenism that simple which is pretty reasonable, just report and ignore the thread.

>>739099404>/v/ claims to hate black characters in vidya>/v/ is one personIt's never been about the race, just the shitty writing and designs that usually come with them
>original Coach: i’m just a guy who ended up with a ragtag team of people trying to survive a zombie apocalypse. i was a highschool PE teacher because i blew mah knee out before i could go pro in football back in the day. i like barbecues and love hamburgers.>if Coach was written in 2016-2026: i am BLACK, maybe GAY or BI or in a POLYAMOROUS RELATIONSHIP, and meanie white people dont like it! sports are cool when i do it but white men are toxic meatheads. also im here to kill zombies, or whatever.
>>739099404Valve do a good job of making their black characters just actual normal human beings instead of doing the weird leftie liberal shit of rubbing it in your face constantly how black they are and how progressive it is.
I am a one man cheeze burgah apocalypse
>>739099404Coach is a fucking saint and my nigga and I will die for him
>>739099404Everyone loves Avery Johnson, Blade, Cole Train, Coach, Barett, Lee, Sheva, Kratos and others. If you write them well to be cool or endearing it doesnt matter what their race is. Theres more white characters people hate here especially from modern games.
>>739100175She was absolutely fucking pretty during her Mad TV days
>>739099404coach is a man you'd want to know in real life. he's not going to play loud as fuck music on the bus, become a fent zombie or rob a liquor store. he's a friendly dude you'd meet at a crab boil that would slap you real hard on the back and laugh.

I really love Rochelle. She's so down to earth and likeable, is able to cheer up the other survivors when they're down or calm them down when they're too excited. The way she talks is really charming, she is polite and friendly and has this joyful enthusiasm which is quite pleasant. Her jokes are not very funny but that's part of her charm. She is very pretty and has a cute smile. I would like to hold hands with her.

>>739097345Looks like the government isn't gonna do us any favors coach... big surprise. C'mon gang, we've got black creatures to kill... oh, no not you coach, oh i have a pass? Ok thanks.
>>739099404people hate black characters whose whole point is that they're black. they also often only give them positive traits so they become a pastiche instead of a real character. good written characters that just happen to be black were always fine. this d&c infighting over something one had no say in is idiocy
>>739099404This where libcucks always get it wrong. We dont hate blacks, we hate niggers and we hate forced inclusion. Coach and many other black characters are actually enjoyable to watch and play because they feel organic.

Because he's an actual character instead something added for diversity points.Notice I also said CHARACTER, Coach has a personality, black characters in the age of DEI are written like meek little whites or the zestiest niggas alive.
>>739103769Why does that brown kid have a collar and leash?
>>739102530If l4d2 released today we'd have 24/7 threads on /v/ about how valve went woke, complaining about how the cast went from four whites to two blacks
>>739123163If the military intended on killing them then they wouldn't have waited to pick them up at the bridge.Most likely what's going on is the military switched from killing immune/carriers to rounding them all up so that they can be trained and used as zombie extermination squads because they're the only hope humanity has left.

>>739099404We hate token blacks. Black characters that are cool,funny or interesting are just good characters.
>>739131213Diversity in Valve games has always been genuine, not performative. Alyx isn't some DEI checklist character. She's an female character with a well-written and acted likeable personality, and she has an attractively exotic configuration of genetic features, justifying the ethnicity of her father.If someone would make a game exactly like Half-Life 1 today, DEI Detected chuds would scrutinize it and complain that 25% of highly specialized scientists are black despite them being a tiny portion of IRL scientists, 0% of them are asian despite their overrepresentation in such things, and 100% of blue-collar workers are white despite the game taking place in goddamn New Mexico.But they'd praise the game for having only one living woman in the whole facility, and she needs a powered exoskeleton to accomplish the equivalent of carting a wheelbarrow, and her other job is being a teacher.
