Oh, fair enough I guess.
Ew gross. I peeked at the twitter thread of the author of a video game piece tim criticized. All the people saying how important it is they can play as a character with the same color skin or genitals as they have (muh representation). All I hear when people stay stuff like that is "I'm a racist" and "can't empathize with people who don't look like me".
True that.
Yeah but I do think people are like that biologically
People tend to associate with people like them
Execept its not allowed if you are white
Many video games contain ethic Asians.
Practically all sports games are dominated by blacks.
@Countess biological or not they're still racist. Also, they're gonig beyond just having an opinion or sayign things. THey're trying to push those thing son others.
@RoadtoDawn :)
The idea that you can't identify with a character if you don't look like them is about as stupid an idea as I've ever heard.
I'm getting tired of throwing out claims like racist or bigoted, but if you can't identify with a character because of how they look, well, that might be why.
@wolfman1911 Yeah. I mean, how can I play donkey Kong and connect with the characters when I’m not even black?
Lol jk
Spicy joke.
Wow
Lol.
That is a good point though, I was trying to think of a character that wasn't white that I really identified with in a game, but the truth is that I don't know that I play that many character focused games.
A huge amount of games have Asian characters, like Pokémon
And anything else anime
Yoshi is a green dinosaur
Seriously. Video games contain crap tons of non human characters too.
@wolfman1911 I think we (by we I mean the whole server) should make an offensive video game.
Lots of people don't think of anime charters as asian, which is kind of true (it depends on the character).
I always use the example of Gundam Wing for that, where two characters look like they could be brothers, but one is ethnically American and the other Japanese.
Gundam Wing is best Gundam, FIGHT ME!
(even tho i like many others heh).
My favorite one is the one about the Zeon terrorist, but Wing is definitely one of the best.
How can someone be ethically American? America is a racial melting pot.
maybe a native american, even if they migrated across the bering strait ages ago
He was white.
Ok.
Also, War in the Pocket was the one I was thinking of.
cool, i was gong to ask heh
My cousin is white and she looks jappy.
I figured, so I immediately started looking it up.
@wolfman1911 Never seen that one, it looks good tho.
Other good gundams i've seen are the first, G Gundam, Unicorn wasn't bad, and kind of liked Iron-Blood (it was lacking a bit tho). My 2nd fav might be 08th MS Team.
I haven't watched all gundam, but i did like 08th ms team. I think I've seen g gundam and sd gundam. and parts of another one I don't remember the title of
I liked 08th MS Team as well, but I'm not entirely sure I've ever seen the end of it.
