Its a funny feeling remembering getting dogpiled, shouted down and downvoted to oblivion for saying things that were proven were correct all along.
Then I remember no one in KIA1 or much of GG gave a shit about any of this. They just wanted to defend their precious Leftism as still being a good thing when people were raging about the "extremists."
More importantly, who the fuck cares? Meritocracy. No one is owed anything. If most game developers aren't black, and most people in their country aren't black, it would make sense if black people weren't "adequately" "represented" anyway. If anything, blacks are overrepresented.
Just like any other group, if blacks demands representation...they can make their own games. Nothing is stopping anyone from making a game with any race as their playable characters. According to progressives, you'd think the actual KKK ran every industry.
Shut up, and make your own shit.
But making your own games is so much harder than complaining.
I have been beating this drum ever since the constant diversity talk started. Same thing with women in gaming.
Their idea is that since they believe the demand for niggers in games is high enough, sticking them in games will make them sell well. It's not though. Most people who by games don't want to play heavy handed shit where the entire point is to raise the station of darkies.
The problem is that black women are ugly.
So they either make an attractive women and then turn her mocha colored (which is the case with the bunny girl from FF12 or Kat from Gravity Rush seen in the image), or they make a half white mutt (which is how the only attractive ones are made in real life).
The first creates a terrible feedback loop, wherein people become attracted to "black girls" and then the horrible reality will hit them in the face and probably make some racist. It also makes black women think they are more attractive than they are by letting them pretend they are the same as someone who shares no commonality but color when being black has a lot more to it.
The second will never fly with both sides of the political aisle. One side will rage about race mixing and the other will do the same for completely different reasons.
I’ve seen hot black girls with my own two eyes. It’s absolutely cause for a double-take because that shit is so goddamn rare, but they do exist. Might be 1 in 500 or 1,000. And when you’re making fictional media, you don’t have to settle for the median nor the average. You can use the outliers. Western devs just choose not to.
I liken a hot black girl to a perfect white or Asian girl. There are white and Asian girls out there who have cute faces and are naturally proportioned like real life anime characters. With obvious exceptions, the feminist battle cry of “muh unrealistic beauty standards” doesn’t mean that such women don’t exist - it just means that the feminists can’t achieve that standard.
You don't have to, but eventually I don't think you are doing actual harm to society if you choose to only portray things that are absurdly rare to impossible. Simply by influencing people's minds to think such a thing is possible and creating the attraction for them.
A huge portion of the tranny audience, both the actual trannies and the ones who thirst for them, was created by this problem. They saw perfectly passing anime traps and a handful of other really convincing ones on the internet, and then they wanted that for themselves. And it has been nothing but ruining their mind and body chasing that dream.
I'm not saying they shouldn't make hot blacks in games, but maybe don't make hot asian/white chicks, color them chocolate, and call them a hot black chick.
Which is only exacerbated by the fact they refuse to put in even the tiniest bit of effort.
What's your opinion of mixed race women? Or are you talking about blue-black hardcore African?
If the only way to make your black women attractive is to add white, that just further proves my point about their general attractiveness.
Okay, let's try a different approach: what about the proportions of each of the African tribes' women results in them being ugly?
Let's just skip to the end of whatever you are trying to accomplish and call me a racist or what have you.
No, it's not my place to call a woman I'm not married to beautiful. If your personal preference isn't for black women, that's one thing, but a blanket statement about an entire race's appearance seems a bit like throwing the baby out with the bathwater.
Any love for an Sudanese/Australian hybrid?
playing this game was falling into their trap, and that paragraph is absolutely cucked
their whole argument is.. black people only can connect to black characters. and majority of gamers are white/asians.. so obviously going along with their argument, white/asians can only connect to white skinned characters.
Scarface (1983) is proof communities DO NOT need "representation." - r/unpopularopinion
(and yes, naturally the mods deleted it.)
Yes I’m sure there are black women who play games, but I doubt they make up a significant portion. Also, the morons who run these gaming don’t realize how constantly pushing characters based on race/sex that nobody wants is the fastest way for them to be rejected
way, way too many
Don't forget to include every single orc in Bethesda and other RPG games. By their own admission those are black people.
2015: That's not true, there have been more than 14 black playable characters!
2024: I wish.
I bet they attacked Elena from Street Fighter 3 for not being black enough.
Even though she is from Africa.

Do Cia and Elma really count though?
There really aren't a lot of games where all the characters look the same, because it is boring.
90s era also had some black playable characters like Mike Leroy of critically acclaimed hit Shadow Man
Images you can smell
so based blacks and diversity didn't save GG
