L4D2 is racist

[Maktub]

Well - here I am. I'm a "mulato", responsible for those black zombies on the game. I'm one of the dev's cousin and I told him I'd barely ever seen black zombies. I would've liked to. I mean, what the hell, are we not allowed to actually become zombies? THAT'S racism... The only movie with "zombies" I ever saw was that Will Smith crappy movie "Legend" something. And he was not the zombie. They were all whiter than Bush's crouch. Srsly. That's discrimination.

Now you can flame me.

I don't have a problem blasting Nazis in "Call of Duty" and "Medal of Honor." I don't have a problem lighting up Imperial Army soldiers with my flamethrower in "World at War." But I do have a problem blasting soldiers in our country's Civil War.

I seen germans playing CoD. They didn't seem to care.

I've seen white dudes playing Battlefield 1942 and they didn't care while playing Axis.

I wholeheartedly think the more recent RE games are kinda racist, kill hordes of specific ethnic flavored zombies as the main white male protagonist in a plot to foil the other white male antagonist along with helpful white female sidekicks...

but COME ON! why in the world can't there be a mix of ethnic zombies? before RE4 and RE5 wasn't every stereotypical zombie made up of the infected white population?


EDIT: also... i think RE6 is gunna be in chinatown...

new solution: a patch that makes the player characters black. that was the problem is the solution.

or better yet, a patch that makes the players one black, one white, one asian and one native american. than 1/4 of all enemies are a single race of said four.

 

[Maktub]

What about us gypsies, and my fellow mates native australians not to mention south american (peruvian) stereotypes? Dude, just one of each and that's alread an horde...

 

[Cablephish]

I'm kind of curious. I remember many people ranting about the allegory that people seemed to see in the game of Chris Redfield killing black people in RE5. There was an article I read up on about a person bitching about this same sort of thing. But did they put Sheva in to counter all that controversy to create a sort of balance? Or was she gonna be in the game anyway?

 

[MissingNo._]

new idea: paint EVERYBODY in video games caucasian. THAT sure spells racial equality

Take Pokemon for instance. I noticed this and thought, "Is Nintendo rascist?"

 

[MeleeMaster500]

i seriously doubt a racist game would come from some of the people who made team fortress 2's classes

Valve is racist against black people because they haven't released the Demoman achievements and unlocks yet!

Can't wait for the Soldier ones and the new King of the Hill game type though.

 

[Sstew]

Who cares!?

I for one don't. Caucasian's have been killed in games for years, yet you don't see us getting upset. It's ridiculous. Just someone looking for attention and maybe a possible settlement

 

[B-Blue]

is this a new type of marketing? calling a game racist? Resident Evil 5, anyone?

The new marketing seems to be "Making a scene and a fool of yourself".

Anyway this type of controversy isn't new anyone remember the PSX game Urban Chaos.

 

[anime4ever]

And I'm sure it was a black who had the idea of making this game in New Orleans.

 

[weiff]

Soooo, killing hordes of white zombies as an African American character is OK? Go play HOTD overkill... It should not be any different. This is just like the bit from TF2, saying the twins were stereotypes... Completely off base because one of the voice actors was black and the other was the guy from Spongebob... They both stated they played the characters as gangbangers. As also stated this came up with the RE5... I noticed they seem to get pissed about the zombies only, which is even funnier since the culture of zombies in general started in Jamaica.


Nobody complains about the men shooting women zombies. I could continue to state case, but it is pointless, as some else mentioned: If they want to be offended they will be.

 

[pika3000]

Why does this happen every time you kill blacks in a game, I'm black and agree that these claims are beyond ridiculous as you've had to kill many other races, what I hate the most is the fact that this makes blacks on a whole look ridiculous.

No, it doesn't, don't worry. It does, only if the person reading the article is yet another fool. That isn't too common so don't worr..

Oh shi-

FOOLS EVERYWHA!!!!!!!!

Nah, this kinda shit just amuses me. WUV EVERYWUN!!!!!

Excluding black people from a game could be seen as racist also in a way. They're not good enough to be in your game and all that. It's a no win situation...

"So what should we do to fix this 'racism?' Take out all of the African-Americans?"
"No, that would be racist."
"Then what do you propose we do?"
"Make all the black people invulnerable or something."

 

[jgu1994]

I notice there are no asian main characters or asian zombies. RACIST.

 

[JKR Firefox]

I don`t get why all spanish people didn`t got pissed because of the slaughter of all those Los Ganados in RE4. And those weren`t even zombies

But I guess that was discussed many times before so who cares...

What I've had enough of you Capcom first you start making these crappy 3D sonic games and now I hear of this I'm going to write a strongly worded article of the Internet now.... Cause they don't like to agree with JKR Firefox.

I'm assuming you were making a joke but since I have no idea what you're talking about, it was lost on me.
