So what does he expect Nintendo to do, turn certain long-standing characters black or hispanic, just so no one complains that there are too many white characters?
I don't understand the point, here. Does Nintendo have any black characters? I cannot think of any. Does that mean Nintendo is intentionally being racist, or does it simply mean people are looking for controversy and being way overly-sensitive about something that has never, ever been an issue in the past.
I think people have truly gone off the deep end if we can't even enjoy a Mario Kart review without talking about racism, or a preview of Tomodachi Life without people screaming that Nintendo is being homophobic. I mean, this is just getting absolutely ridiculous.
We need to coin a phrase or word for people who look for controversy where none exists, and then we need to ignore these people. Otherwise the sane among us will lose our sanity.
A lack of blacks or hispanics in a Mario Kart game does not equal white supremacy, and a lack of option for gay marriage in Tomodachi Life does not equal homophobic intentions. We really need to dial it back as an industry.
