I'm like 70% sure the leaker just mentioned black lead to cause discourse and get even more attention.
lol pretty much and the usuals show up to cry and tell people just how much it shouldn't matter (proceeds to give us 7 pages of tears) lol
This is why I wish Naughty Dog made a narrative focused game where you can build (character creator) any type of character and it would fit to gameplay and narrative they built. It’s the only way forward in this medium and it would appease everybody.
lol ok bud. AC did that and folks got triggered and called them woke. BFV did that and folks called them woke. There is no fucking appeasing "everyone" with SJW and anti-SJW. To add 1 demographic, each side claims pandering and secret dumbass agenda to take over the world (a fucking video game character is the end game eveyone), to add the opinion to create a character, 1 side will argue FORCED diversity (not sure who is putting the gun to anyone's head to play the game or make it but ok) and another side will nit-pick to death that its NOT diverse enough in that you can't make a whale, non-binary midget.
I don't think you fully understand just how ignorant each extreme side is on this.
Using their logic, nothing is basically allowed in games. All things are agendas. I even fucking joke that you'll see them boycott Forza and GT claiming an agenda with car companies. Be like "ok but why mention FORD cars, it shouldn't matter" and or "Ford and GM was enough, why add in Toyota to have FORCED DIVERSITY" or "The director of the game drives a Dodge Ram.....now a Viper is on the cover of the game? AGENDA!!!!!"
They seriously have to use racial identity as a tease? It is actually a hype killer. Strange times.
Who is they? The person who leaked this is the one that brings that up.
It's almost like there is a history to do with black representation that makes it matter. Because of the fact that representation matters. Because black people being represented in media matters. Because for the first 50 or so years of any media, black representation was made specifically to caricature, denigrate, disparage black image. So yes it matters, it matters that naughtydog wants to create their first lead black character. They are some of the best storytellers in the industry and it matters that they want to put a black face as the lead in their story.
You should rethink why introducing a game as having "first black lead" makes you recoil in disgust.
This 100%^ Back when the SJW shit started to come out with that Youtube series, one of the things I recall even say was that you can't force a people to include you and you can't force anyone to represent what any demographic goes thru. I agree many are not represented well, but i draw the line at attacking developers, artist etc and making it some demand. No one can really represent us, like us. So imho I feel those that want such concepts need to be the ones creating such things vs asking, demanding etc.
That goes for both sides.
Naughty Dog has said nothing nor is the person making the tweet a verified source but here we are on page 4 with nothing but butthurt Caucasians in an uproar. As much as y'all bitch about "WOKENESS" you're the ones stoking the fire because it makes you angry on a personal level.
Doesn't matter to people like that, they'll see anything and get offended.
what about the ones who type up paragraphs online of being in absolute shambles by the rumor of a black lead being in a game (i.e. you)
if race doesn't matter, it shouldn't matter, right? lmfao
I'm saying. It doesn't matter, yet 7 pages later lol
The ones saying it doesn't matter, should be the least triggered, offended and in tears. If this makes them upset, they need to simply make their own game.
I dont think anyone ever complained about any of these characters being black.
The deep lolz yessssssssssssss You don't "think" anyone complained about those games? Sir....they made the same fucking claim about those games, that you yourself are making with this whole "mandate" for wokeness or something.
The problem here is that it seems to be a mandate for ND
How do you know though? You legit say "seems to be", yet sir you can just say some shit like those games "seem to be a mandate" too, you'd have just as little evidence on those titles as you would anything from ND
Unless you fucking read their minds, you'd know not of why they made the character or the artist behind it etc. This is coming from the same fucking users saying shit like "who cares", so fuck...WHO CARES Slimy? Lets say they have a "mandate" who cares right? =)
