Re: Resident Evil 5 Accused Of Racism

Good thing Fable hasn't caught her eye yet - there are two black people in the game, and they are the two most dis likable characters in the entire game.

Yeah, and well... a near-zombie character (Scythe) is one of the coolest.

Some people have nothing better to do but to cry out at every infraction.

if most people in Africa have dark to very dark skin, then it will be if the games story is set there.

What confuses me is why she is targeting a game about zombies and not a game like GTA where they depict certain black people as "gangsta" and whatnot. Makes no sense to me at all.

I don't know mate, but I reckon she can't even pick up a controller without breaking a finger.

Let's compare racism. GTA and Resident Evil 5

GTA presumes that all black people are gangsters.

Apparently in this picture, GTA has arm weilding ak 47's, ice cube that protects his wad of cash, a fat jazz player about to drop a ciggarette on your face, a gangster that's holding an oozie (and for some reason sports a scarf even thought it's like 100 degrees outside), Neo, and a half of a car. Wow.

Resident Evil 5 is said to be racist. Here's the plot: guy enters a villiage in Africa and suddenly, a zombie plague spreads the whole area. Now, the villiagers are attacking you in large hordes due to the spreading disease in their bodies....

Apparently in Resident Evil (the one that's said to be racist), drunk figures will protect their wreckage in the distance if you go past the aggrovation line.

Whoever thinks Resident Evil is racist, has the brain of this guy:

Re: Resident Evil 5 Accused Of Racism

In fact, black people and culture are actually the origins of zombies. I have a friend who is a bit of a movie fanatic (We call him Kubrick, hah.), especially zombie movies.
People are tools. That's pretty much it.

I think it is cool to the new RE game deal with black zombies in Africa - why? Because if you know your zombie history, you'd know that it was black people that started the whole zombie thing, namely with the practice of voodoo. Whilst voodoo might or might not have been practiced in Africa, it is a welcome change from the stereotypical "Zombies invade modern USA city/mall/public restroom/whatever"-story. One which we all are all too familiar with.

The only thing cooler would be Swedish viking zombies - booyeah!

Re: Resident Evil 5 Accused Of Racism

I don't know...Zombies invading a public restroom for no apparent reason is something I'd like to see.

Re: Resident Evil 5 Accused Of Racism

I want to kick something after hearing this... This is so acenine, I can't stomach this "Start them young" bull****. Like this will make every single person a racist. It also seems as if she is implying that it will only be caucasians who will suffer these apparent "effects" and that simply because the zombies are African that it deems this be considered racist.

People...are...just...thinking...too...much.

It is a video game. You against zombies. It is the same character as in the previous games, and there he was white whilst gunning down all kids of coloured zombies. He is still white, duh. Now he is in Africa. In Africa you got black people, ergo black zombies.

Yeah i think people are reading way to much into this, it really is as simple as a virus spreading and turning people into zombies and only difference to previous games is the zombies are Black and its based in Africa and zombies have more human tendencies as they are meant to be smarter and faster. Not the lumbering, slow, mindless drones they once were in the games.

So, in a way, the black people whining lady should be proud - black people makes for better zombie material!

"Black zombies are superiour to white zombies"

They aren`t actually zombies, and not ganados, but something different.
Just read it from Wikipedia, but it`s a well known fact that Wiki might not be correct.
I find funny that we are discussing zombies and they aren`t even in the game. maybe...

Edit: yeah, with this post, I became a champion. I should Screenshot it...
