All things Tanya! - Official Diskussion Thread

Re: Tanya's Design Compared to Older Designs.

So true! MKO is truly nuts these days in particular.

lol i've noticed. you can never post a 2nd opinion without being accused of b****ing/racism/sexism/etc. the whole nine yards. Fans are tearing each other apart. Its very out of control.

Lmao! I agree. I saw someone on MKO say they hated Reptiles design, I think they ended up quitting the entire site because of death threats.

wth? is it really that serious??? SMH.
 
Re: Tanya's Design Compared to Older Designs.

I'm on twitter. I can see tons and tons of tweets saying 'God bless you! You turned Tanya black again!' to Ed. It's kinda funny.

[This is only one out of every 10. I never knew Tanya was actually KNOWN by so many casuals.^]
People on TRMK can say 'Stop saying Tanya's black, you're wrong' all they want. That's not gonna make the general population of the world think the same.

Yep. And she's clearly important to a lot of people, because they saw someone like them in a video game as a kid. This is why minority representation in media matters.
 
Re: Tanya's Design Compared to Older Designs.

Oh i've seen that Sunny dude, he favourited my Tanya things hahaha!! I do agree though, the majority of Tanya fans seem to be extremely happy with this new look. It's obvious what the main problem was. Now that they've corrected it there's no more chaos

There are quite a few things you'd see on twitter if you'd look it up too.
Some 13-14 year olds Don't know tanya and think she's a new character so they're saying "Lmfao they made her black to appeal to the fans when she was originally white'
It bugs my soul.

Yep. That rattles my cage. I'm white and I was pissed when I saw her original character in MKX. Nothing to do with appealing to races or whatever. I was pissed they completely took away Tanya's identity.
 
Re: Tanya's Design Compared to Older Designs.

Tanya with lighter skin is a far lesser evil than her looking like she came out of the Rocky Horror Picture Show.

Re: Tanya's Design Compared to Older Designs.

I've only seen one person on twitter tell Ed Boon they're gonna cancel their DLC order cause of Tanya's latest redesign (but that guy was a Tekken and Lucky Chloe fan, so it says alot)

otherwise the reception is 90% full of "HELL YEAH TANYA IS BACK"

I don't get what you're saying, lol.
Are you insulting her new or old look?

Right? I've seen over 50 people spamming tweets about how happy they are. I was surprised that she was actually so known by casuals.
 
Re: Tanya's Design Compared to Older Designs.

I've mentioned this before, but Tanya's fans are literally was drove me away from liking the character, unfortunately to say. I really hate that they did, because I shouldn't judge an entire fan base on a few users who acted so mean, so cruel, and so immaturely towards me all because I had a different view/opinion about their beloved fictional character.

Over the span of a few years, I have came across some of the meanest fans of hers. But before I continue, let me say that I know her entire fan base is not mean. I know that there are nice fans, (I mean they're all on this site) fans who appreciate having conversations with people who do not like her and can be civil about it.

I mean, couple months ago, there was some random Tanya fan who literally went overboard on insults and death threats all because you mentioned that you "don't really like this character." The amount of absurdness that came from this user both when they were on MKO and then here was... impressive to say the least because I had never seen so much backlash come from one user about the character. They eventually got banned on both of these sites because 1.) The moderators were sick of the crap they were spilling out and 2.) Sending death threats is frowned upon in this society.

I will never understand what is it about this character that brings out the craziness but this is the reason why I don't really care for the character. However, just because I don't care for her doesn't mean I can't appreciate her if I try her. If I like what I see when it comes to game play, I'll slap down a few bucks to get her, but as of right now, I will hold off a little bit after she is released to get her. I really don't care for the appearance change, I don't understand why too many were complaining about her when I thought she looked really great. I mean, despite the random hair animation, I thought the look for her was suiting. I wold have preferred her going really short but we can't have everything. I don't get why they needed to darken her skin when I thought it looked fine. I don't get why they needed to take out the purple in her outfit because I thought that mixture together looked great.

And I don't think I will ever appreciate the fact that they decided to give her no eyes... That was a flucking dumb move on their end, probably the only thing I have seen from them with this game that I absolutely do not like at all. I don't think I have ever said anything bad about this game, well sadly... this is the first.

She did look fine. She just didn't look anything like Tanya. She looked like some Greek or Italian broad we'd never met before, and trying to pass her off as Tanya was absurd.

I liked the purple as well, but that was clearly just an error in the Kombat Pack video, perhaps caused by the weird-ass lighting in it -- the purple was already gone in the Story Mode model, replaced by her usual black.

I actually can understand and level with you on this, but instead with Reptile.
I used to actually love reptile. He used to be one of my favorite ninjas.
In 2011, I was in a thread here when MK9 came out and I said that I felt that Reptile didn't contribute to the story.
I got tons of posts that are as long as yours and Inbox threats, on here, that just led me astray from the character personally.
Now, every time I see reptile, I have nothing nice to say anymore.
 
Re: Tanya's Design Compared to Older Designs.

I'm so glad I chose to stay here and not return to MKO. There might be a few bad apples on here, but most of you guys are so cool and nice. On MKO I could count the cool users on one hand.

[MENTION=16500]Kitty_55[/MENTION]
Do you plan on getting Tanya? Did you buy the Kombat Pack or are you getting the DLC you want individually? Just wondering, because if you get Tanya and it turns out you like her gameplay, then hopefully the bad effect the bad Tanya fans have had on you will be shaken off. I kinda know where you're coming from though, I never really liked Scorpion, but his fans (also back on MKO) really made me hate him, because they praise him like a god and as soon you say something bad about Scorpion, they literally makes Hell rain over you. XD

But oh well...

Anyways, as I said earlier, I liked the gold and purple colours together on Tanya, so I'm a bit disappointed that they went back to yellow and black. So many characters have one colour together with black, so it was different that Tanya had something else. D'Vorah already has the yellow and black thing going, as well as Scorpion, so it just would've been cool to have Tanya sport something a bit different.

I'm also still crossing fingers for purple flames. At least in 1 Variation. Would be cool. ^^

I was specifically insulting her face prior to the change back to her MK4/MKD design.

Re: Tanya's Design Compared to Older Designs.

has anyone seen a gaming news site post about the updated Tanya yet? i have yet to see any articles about it. But i assume most players know already through looking at the menu.

Not yet. I only saw small sites pick up the whitewashing controversy in the first place, though.
 
Re: Tanya's Design Compared to Older Designs.

If my personal enjoyment with a game and its characters was determined by its fanbase, I would play far fewer games than I do now.

I haven't which is crazy. Usually these gaming sites will transform their entire webpages to knowing an MK character has an extra strand of hair added on them :laugh:

That's interesting I guess. Thanks for sharing.

Did you originally like her MK4?

On one hand, I agree. If I look at the first 'coming soon' image of Tanya and see it as a stand alone character, I think she looks great. They've toned the facial structure down and she looks slightly more feminine. If this was a new character I'd like her. However, when I look at it from the point of it being Tanya, then it's not my thing. It just doesn't look like Tanya. It bares no similarities to her in any way shape or form besides the yellow/gold costume. It's hard to feel a character who's looked a certain way for 18 years and then have her presented with a drastic new identity. The skin colour really was an issue, not just for her fans but I saw it picked up a lot on youtube even from people who weren't her biggest fan. I'm not gonna throw out 'black' or 'white' but Tanya did have a darker skin tone than most characters. They had already stripped away her facial details and changed her hairstyle, to then tone down her skin colour was just stripping her identity away further. With this new update, i'm more than happy. I finally see the MK4/Deception Tanya again, and I know her fans are more than happy now. The white eyes don't bother me, I was always keen on them. But I respect your opinion if you preferred her first version
