What was the argument then on RE5? On french forums the issue was always about "hey but shooting on black zombies it's racist wtf". Seriously, I ask that peacefuly I've never heard another argument about it.
And honestly I don't (at least not on purpose) take nonsensicial directions... I mean I honestly DON'T see any racial things in those "dark skinned vilain" or "Evil Ryu/Evil whatever" characters... It's true I'm a French white dude from French white parents and so on, so maybe I'm not sensitive about it I've never suffered of racism (except when I lived a bit in Korea, Koreans called me "fucking american" in streets because I'm white...) so maybe I just don't see it. Most of my favorite artists are Japanese, Korean, African americans, Latinos, etc etc.
I mean how they could on purpose make "evil characters" black for a racial reason, it's... So dumb... We're in 2017, people who make games are educated, they are not some Hillbillies. Oh well it's true I'm surprised by some elections recently (USA, France alt right almost won, etc), that's so weird...
Honestly I can't believe it's on purpose, but... of course there are some stereotypes like "black dies first in horror movies" (not so mucn anymore though), or black character is the funny dude, etc. Asians are the math guys.
That's just weird to me, like all those sexists talks. I mean yes girls are often sexy but Nathan Drake too, Snake is not bad I guess, the Prince of Persia, heroes of Far Cry games, AC, Watch Dogs, they are all handsome/good looking dudes I think, no?
Honestly I'm always confuse in all those talks, maybe I'm too naive and don't see the "dark purpose" (yeah I know "dark" again, sorry) behind all these but, that's how I feel.
