Black anons, whats your honest opinion of representation in video games? Do you feel pressured to support it by racial peers or pressured to condemn it by hobby peers? Do you even care?

>>746069787this
>>746069787True!
>>746069714I don't really care because I'm not a psychopath or a narcissistI can "relate" to any character that has human traits
this thread is just gonna be lazy racism and delusional pick-mes
>>746070473>delusional pick-mes>be black>white people have treated me better than black people ever have>wtf y u like wypipo so muchThe first thing every black person does when they get money is move away from all the other black people, by the way
>>746069714>Do you even care?No
Black people need to make their own games and characters, it's that simple. I don't expect Japan and white people to do them right if at all. It is what it is. Shadowman.
>>746069714I want to be a dragon. I want to be a lord of hell. I want to fight space fungus aliens as holy knight, be a high-school girl getting raw dick, be a shammon fighting ghosts, a doctor throwing pills at a germs. Why would I want to be a normal black guy? I can be a black guy in real life. Video games are for fantasy. I can't fly in real life. Nor can I live underwater, shoot lightning, rape, survive being thrown 12 walls, see through walls, move a sub sonic speed, or eat a whole dinner in one bite.
>>746070407This.t. latinfaggot
>>746071006>be a high-school girl getting raw dick
>>746071097Well duh. I can't be a girl (impossible) or get dick (gay).
>>746071006I bet you haven't even tried doing any of those things, loser
Can any of you chocolate bros give me an official N word pass? I have a meeting with HR tomorrow about something that happened the other day and it would really help my case.
>>746069714>Black anons, whats your honest opinion of representation in video games?Representation is gay. Original black characters are cool. Fuck all the ugly ones and that "strong women" bullshit
>>746071950i missed raven but his master was so sexy. she needs to df 3+4 me
>>746071742Trust me, as a kid I tried to use my sweater to help me fly.
>>746069714I used to not care, but I think it is necessary for it to be forced in everywhere. 90s-2000 games had blacks like Gothic 1, Urban Chaos, GTA SA, and True Crime LA, but a lot of 360/PS3/PS4 games didn't. As a result, you have a generation of kids who freak out at any black person existing when it was the norm.Additionally, racial diversity is realistic. Not only is it included in a lot of myths while being represented in athleticism/sports/outdoors, black skin/fur exists as an evolutionary condition to protect against UV rays. If you have desert biomes or black creatures with a pasty white cast, then you're deliberately omitting them and your world isn't believable at all in the slightest.Not that it matters.
>>746070407>>746071032when i was 12 and playing BLands 1 for the first time, i picked Roland because he's a fucking soldier and he looks cool (im not black obv), they just gotta keep it simple and make stuff people actually want, no one will care about that made up california shit
>>746072232I agree, but only because I believe the forceful inclusion of it is the only way for most people to come to the natural conclusion about the topic."Realistic" includes a lot of unsavory things besides average American blacks. I don't think a game showcasing the homeless epidemic, the graphic effects of rampant fentanyl abuse on the poor and underprivileged, the harsh reality of underground animal abuse, or interstate sex trafficking are things people would love to see in their games. Well, the ghetto-ification of America driven by the glamorization of black culture and endless promotion of those pushing it are what lead to these things.So yeah, put it in every fucking game until people can't stand it, and then we can either have a real conversation about it or it'll destroy us all.
>>746072232forceful inclusion is bad little nigger from reddit. case in point: Kingdom Come Deliverance 2. if you include niggers don't shoe-horn their presence, make them natural to the setting just like any other character: fuck your SJW bullshit.
>>746072232You are highly disingenuous but I'll reply anyway, nobody ever complains about fantasy black people existing in fantasy Africa. They complain about modern Californian demographics in settings where it makes absolutely no sense and often isn't even mentioned, see Dragon's Dogma 2, Hogwarts Legacy, the new Fable, etc. If your game has isolated populations but still has a perfect blend of niggers and chinks walking around like they've always been there, your worldbuilding is trash and you've been compromised by purple haired freaks from twitter.
>>746069787Das rite
>>746070473trvke, we all know black anons want to fuck white video game chads, that's why deys b uncle toms n shieet
>>746069787he speak the tru tru
>>746073257If the setting doesn’t have an explanation for race and diversity it’s trash. Like do your black people in this diverse fantasy kingdom have black parents? Are there black neighborhoods? Do white people just sometimes magically produce black people? What’s the history of migration that lead to this situation?
Is this the thread?
>>746073953why is it okay for magik to do blackface but not me
>>746069714>honest opinion of representation in video games?I enjoy it.>Do you feel pressured to support it by racial peers or pressured to condemn it by hobby peers?No? I am my own person so sometimes my opinion doesn't conform to whatever "nothingburger" people are raging about.>Do you even care?Yes on the fact that I enjoy it.
>>746071006You are too oppressed to understand what you really need, but it's okay, the white man is here to save you from your sins and give you lovely housing in your own area of society.
>>746073257IIRC Hogwarts actually made it make sense, at least for the prominent NPCs. All the ones I remember that had any kind of interaction, also had a backstory(albeit in random infodump form that you had to ask for), that explains why they're fucking there in white wizard school, instead of off wherever the rest of their people are.The faceless shits that never say anything but preset repeat lines, yeah, nothing, but it would've been weirder to make them all yammer about their backstories randomly all over campus.
>>746071097She was held back a few years
>>746069787They can bitch, they can moan, but they have no counter to the pure street knowledge here.
>>746069714>Black anonsIt's blanons you fucking racist (I'm white)
>>746070473Do you want some higher effort racist shit anon?
>>746069714Representation is nothing but wish fulfillment for sad, pathetic losers with no identity of their own. They have to live vicariously through their entire race or gender and by extension, through fictional stand-ins for that race or gender. Then again, maybe I’m the one who’s cracked. I’ve always made my original characters white, so maybe that just makes me the race traitor.
>>746072232im not black but i still want to see black fantasy, legends, myths in video game instead of black ppl in white or asian fantasy its gay af
>>746069714Im arab and I'd rather we don't get represented desu, specifically in regards to religious stuff, as far as stuff like race it can be fine with phara from overwatch or shaheen/rasheed in tekken/street fighter since its done well and doesn't derail the games or feel forced, in the cases of SF/tekken it's literally a part of the gimmick to bring new characters from different countries, shaheen is the Weakest tho since his story is tied to kazuya which means he's going to limbo with eddie gordo.tekken shenanigans aside i think it's fine if it's not forced, fits the setting and more importantly adds to it, there is an argument that some people(retards) make that "there doesn't have to be a reason to add black/white characters to game just like how white characters don't need a reason" but the premise is false and worse then that leads to shitty forced diversity games where it becomes uncanny and weird, there are no popular games where everyone is just white blonde and has blue eyes, so what happens is this made up idea pushes some people(retards) into the opposite direction where they make a game where everyone is black dark and has braids, they literally create what they criticise due to their stupidity. So imo there should be a reason for a character to be added, characters like mirage being added to deadlock for example is good since he fits the occult setting. Honestly i think the bottom line in this whole debate is weather there's a reason for it or not, like casting a jewish character/actor into the role of hitler would be retarded unless you explain it in the story, same with having a story where everyone is a tough guy with the same size and general look, it would just be boring which would hurt your game unless there was a reason for it
>>746075642Arab pagan representation is kino though.
>>746075254>I’ve always made my original characters white, so maybe that just makes me theEh, it largely depends on the game but i usually opt for full OCs dount steels, like in potato flowers in full bloom, my main party is a midget rouge elf girl, a dark knight dark elf woman, and an old man gnome mage>race traitor.Race treason is the most retarded term ever made imo, most Europeans were killed by other Europeans(100 year war, 30 year war, WW1&2) and most Africans were enslaved by other Africans, same with the asians and other races, if I'm gonna be loyal I'll be loyal to an idea or a religion where we believe in the same values instead of your "race" which doesn't indicate much
>>746075727For me it's like inserting /pol/itics in media, it just makes stuff too real and gay which is not why i play, read or watch
>>746076013Yeah but Arab pagan time periods don’t hold any political connotation at least in the west. Maybe in Muslim countries today it’s different.
>>746073953Is this the new thing people are crying about? Honestly doesn't look like shit so I don't care.
>>746069714The people that demand representation or that the protagonist look like them are all "how would you feel if you didn't eat breakfast" ass NPC motherfuckers. This goes for those retards that chimp out when a protagonist is black too
