This'll be my last response cause I'm tired making the same exact point. 

 

It's not *because* of the race. It's not *because* the days gone character is white. Read what they said. Read what my comment said. I know you're smart enough to understand what's being said. 

 

No one is complaining about a character BECAUSE of their race or gender or sexuality. It's because of the use of character tropes in relation to those characteristics and it's boring.

 

That's literally it. Nothing more. Nothing less. 

 

Bearded Gruffy white guy, angry ghetto black woman, smart glasses wearing Asian. All Over used character tropes that people get tired of. Seriously how difficult is that to understand? 

 

No one, literally no one is complaining about the race of a character here. No need for the outrage, there's knee-jerk reactions everywhere cause a victim narrative is too appealing. 

This whole thread, among others, has been a clear demonstration of the simplification of ignorance and a lack of reasoning skills. Or they are trying to use liberal/Democratic talking points back at us...race this and sexism that. Or it's straight up trolling...as I suspect of a certain right wing conspiracy theory liking member.

They simplify is such that if you mention race or sex that is must be racist or sexist.  They completely lack being able to reason the context or the the whole concept.  And it's maddening because I know they have the mental capacity for understanding it but it's like they don't want to, choose not to or their cognitive dissonance is just too strong to look beyond.

You see there lies the issue. Complain about a bald marine all you want but don't bring colour into it. The space marine can be black or white it doesn't matter. My point is colour doesn't matter the personality and their actions are.

The same with a street gangster who likes their slang. It doesn't matter if they are black, white, man or woman. That's not how you should judge people. 

Thank you for completely proving my point.

How  so
