>A black, disabled, single father to an adopted child fighting tooth and nail against a major corporate government who are driving severe income inequality and widespread destruction of the planet. Is also a respected leader of a resistance group and is working to redeem himself of his past sins by fighting those who exploited his hometown.
>Black people IRL hate him
I really don't know what they want.

They probably self-insert as Cloud or maybe Sephiroth if they are edgy.
>>
Probably not stoic and edgy enough. Black guys always self insert as Vegeta, Piccolo or trunks.

Ff7 doesnt really have characters like those, so they probably dont insert as anyone. The closest would be Vincent but he gets cucked and isnt really angry all the time.

Also, as an aside, its funny that they always insert as piccolo like characters when most nerds from thst community our loud goof balls. They're pretty easy the spot out in public.

This sounds more like a black man written to appeal to lefty white boys than to blacks.
If Barret appeared in current year and not the late 90s, he would be called "woke."

You think Barret and his homies ran a train on Tifa?

Of course. Pic related.

I have never seen any blacks say they hate Barret.

>>3846771
Barret did appear in the current year in the Remake and people constantly talked about how he was the most improved character from the original.

Lucky.

I've never known that to be the case. I've seen much more of the opposite.
>>
>>3846791
Edgy and cool.
>>
>>3846774
It's kinda funny that people still haven't picked up on Barret being a closeted homosexual.

The vocal complaints about Barret was that he was "too stereotypical".
>>
>>3846976
>African-American
These people are 100% white, you have to be a special kind of idiot to describe a black man as "African" or "American" in a world that does not have an Africa OR an America.

There's a Texas at least

This. I live in a black majority city, almost everyone I've met IRL into FF was black and I've never heard them say anything bad about Barret,
>>
>>3846976
Those are fakes criticisms written by that magazine, but Barret's dialogue was stupid. Fuck localizers and their fan-fiction.
>>
>>3846735
As a white person it's because he's literally Mr. T and speaks like he's in the hood.
>>
>>3846735
they don't. but why do you think black people want specifically a disabled single father character? lol
>>
>>3847036
Because they're used to having single moms so having a father is a nice change of pace.
>>
>>3846980
The term was much more common in the 90s. Yes, people were too retarded to think through the implications of being African-American in a world with no Africa and no America but it was just a PC term for Black.

Incidentally, I had a conversation online with a black guy in the very early 2000s who said he really preferred just "Black American." Liked the emphasis on American part not on the black part and certainly not on the African part.

>>3846976
What kind of faggot is more likely to write a letter to a videogame magazine? A normal black dude who likes vidya or some grievance studies graduate from Far-Left University? And even if by chance both were to submit, which would the magazine be more likely to publish? Woke hadn't gone mainstream in 1997 but there were still budding culture warriors flexing their critical theory skills and media still liked stirring the pot.
>>
>>3846735
>>Black people IRL hate him
Because they see his design and think he looks like some Mr T ripoff or a stereotype.
And most black people just want a generic badass like Shaft.
>>
>>3846735
I remember being about 8 years old playing FF7 I named Cloud Strife Nigger and I named Barret Wallace God
>>
>>3847408
lol, did you get over being a tryhard faggot?

>>3847434
He'll grow out of it when he's 12.
>>
>>3846976
Yeah leftists hate it when you depict black people who act like actual black people, even when they're positive depictions. But from my limited experience, black gamers seem to like Barret.
>>
>>3846985
There's also Korean BBQ. I couldn't find Texas or Korea on the world map.

>>3847503
Skill issue.

>actual black people
You mean lower IQ American former slaves.
>>
>>3847521
>import dumb as bricks man-cattle
>300 years later they've ruined your country and you can get killed randomly with high likelihood just by stepping outside of your home
The slave owners should apologize to white people, not to black people.

Is anyone ITT capable of telling the truth?
