I guarantee you if there was a video game full of black people or a game with a lack of white characters no white person would complain about it at all. On the other hand, I guarantee you, even with a full black character roster in a video game that African-Americans would still classify this as racist and try their very hardest to prove why, which usually involves fabricating imaginary scenarios or bringing up things that are completely irrelevant to the topic. You just can't satisfy some people. I don't pay attention to skin colour when I play a character, I pay attention to their clothing, personality, story & moveset. YOU are the ones who pay so much attention to skin colour and ethnicity, and that itself is racist.

Black people need to stop turning everything into something about racism, just shut up already. You play the victims in almost every scenario and it's pathetic, you pull out the 'race card' whenever you get the chance. Just play the game and stop complaining and nitpicking, and if you can't do so, don't buy it. Simple, isn't it?

Color blindness did not solve racism, it made it more implicit instead of explicit. And you're full of all kinds of shit about white people not mentioning something as high profile as MK coming out with nothing but PoC as the full cast. Hell, everyone, not just whites, would find that oddly suspicious.

You really aught to think about taking that big ol' salty chip off your shoulder. Just cause YOU don't give a shit about history and how it shapes today's world and the lives of people that live in it and just cause you can ignore those issues doesn't mean YOU get to tell millions of people not like you how they should feel or that somehow their lived experiences aren't valid.

I truly cannot believe what I am reading in this thread. Racial representation in media is important and necessary because everyone deserves to be represented. Not just one or two races. If there is an opportunity for multiple races to be represented in a video game, then producers need to take it.

Racial representation and real life issues are extremely important in a fantasy video game that is extremely unrealistic and has little to no relation to the real world. If you're shallow enough to hate on a video game for not including someone of a certain ethnicity or colour (which they have, so I don't get why anyone is complaining in the first place) then maybe you shouldn't play video games.

I think everyone is racist and/or sexist to some degree. One of my friends is black. and it just so happens that in every game he plays, his main is the one black character. Every time I'd play games with my ex, she would exclusively play female characters.

I play exclusively female characters and I'm a male, what does that make me?

You're god damned right they are.

Holy shit, it's not shallow to actually want representation in your chosen media. Jesus take the wheel. I'm gonna need some water for all this salt.

 

[Temptress]

That was sarcasm if you didn't catch on.

I never said it was shallow to want to be represented, I said it was shallow to hate on a video game for not including someone of a certain ethnicity or color. So why are you implying that I'm salty when I'm not the one complaining?

Your sarcasm speaks truth.

Because wanting better representation in a fantasy videogame you want to purchase and play is not hating on the game? Holy shit, you're being really combative over something as simple as people expressing a desire to see more PoC characters in the game.

The game is not about real life issues and racial representation. It's a FANTASY game. It has no relation to anything in the real world, it's about a life-or-death tournament and a bunch of characters with supernatural abilities and the ability to kill someone with their bare hands. Why the hell are you crying about wanting to 'be represented' in a video game that has nothing to do with race? Like, really? I just don't get why people cry over such irrelevant shit. I'm not going to bother anymore.

That makes you a virgin. ;D haha

Let's hope you never bother anymore because it's also about Earthrealm defending itself and spoiler alert, Earth is chok full of PoC. Dig your heels in on this if you want, but you look like a jerk for doing so.

B-but I'm gay.

Y'all are taking Mortal Kombat a little too seriously. You can't expect every single demographic to be represented. It's unrealistic.

 

[ujustgotcaged]

You people are throwing fits on both ends...this is a video game ..take your race debate somewhere else and quit throwing a fit.Nobody even made any good points on either side.The one who did the most talking just seemed like another person ranting on facebook...As a matter of fact im sure a lot of you guys trying to spark race debates on this forum get more attention here than you do on your facebook accounts.


Yeaaa at least if you rant on this forum people actually like your post and reply to it.

Racial representation with every race is important and understandable. I understand that black lady in the video. But what EdenianGoddess was saying was that blacks (in general) want their race represented with EVERYTHING. Every possible thing. That is simply not possible. And when they are not represented, they go crazy and accuse whites of racism. No other race acts like that. That is the discussion. And that is reality. Granted it is off topic, but hey somebody else started this topic, not me.
