| StarOcean said: I'm sorry, but I would have to agree with MS on this. From a financial point of view it makes more sense to have a white dude on the cover versus a black woman. And its unfortunate but at the end of the day MS wants to sell a product and using a white guy on the cover is safer and ensures money than taking a risk |
Do you have any evidence?
I'm not going to judge your own personal biases and prejudices, but bias/prejudice looks like the basis for your assumption on it being risky to put a black person on the cover.
Looking at the top selling movie and top selling game of all time: Avatar has Zoe Saldana on the cover. Wii Sports has 3 black males, 1 white male, 1 Asian male, and 1 Asian female. In other words, actual sales data shows the opposite is true.
I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.
