You know what kinda pisses me off?
This is
Kandyse McClure, a South African born Canadian actress.
Tell me ND didn't pull an Ellen Page again and model Nadine after her?
Why is she not playing Nadine???
Bring in new talent ND FFS.
Maybe her schedule was too busy for VA work?
I mean better yet, why not just ask her on Twitter or Facebook her feelings on the character, if ND reached out to her, if she had scheduling conflicts, etc? Do you
really feel the need to jump to the "they're racist!" angle right off the bat?
EDIT://
Also, I didn't think I'd find myself saying this, but I'm gonna need to take a break from GAF. Like, a
long break. The way this conversation's been going is not only nonsensical, it's downright embarrassing. There's literally nothing offensive about the trailer, and it's a crying shame it can't be judged on the merits of its own content or discussing about the character's personality or their dynamic with Nathan or where they could be in relation to other characters in the game's story.
The way the conversation's devolved into a talk about race simply b/c the character happens to be black and the VA happens to be white, is nothing short of jumping through several hoops to intentionally find ways to piss yourself off and try to find a way to sound progressive while coming off more as regressive if anything. A shame this is right around PSX time, but I'll manage. Have at it y'all.
