ok i'll reiterate once more, if this guy was asian no one would care... why is that?

I actually cannot believe that at this point it must be elaborated upon further.  There are literally dozens of posts explaining this already.

Let's use some quantification, shall we?

How many games in the US have a gruff, Asian male protagonist?  Maybe a few.
How many games in the US have a gruff, white male protagonist?  Maybe a few thousand.

So nobody is saying white = bad. Or male = bad.  Or gruff = bad. Or protagonist = bad.

What we are saying is that the combination of all of those traits (AND IT MUST BE ALL OF THOSE TRAITS) into a single character it is getting stale, old, boring, overused.  It could be an over use of pink, short tailed, wisecracking tigers.   If they use that character combination too many times, it would get old and boring.

 

Further...and to nix this illogical racist crap to the curb once and for all....if it were racist, they never would have liked playing as a gruff, white male antagonist...or any white character AT ALL.  This isn't about not liking to play as a gruff, white male antagonist ever...but that they are getting tired of doing it repeatedly. 

I liked white rice a lot several years ago but started getting tired of it.  Tried brown rice.  I like that now.  Doesn't that mean I am racist against white rice?  Guess what?  I might get tired of brown rice soon and will either go back to white rice or may try yellow rice for a while.  It's. The. Repetition. Of. The. Same. Thing. Over. And. Over. And. Over. Again.

 

Now if you do not get it after that, we're done and I will never engage another discussion with you again.  You will go on my ignore list.  And if I see someone quote you, I will inform them of this thread and your intention of trolling for the sake of wasting their time such that they may engage in dialog with someone else that values their time and opinions.

am i to take this as a concession that we agree that if he was asian there wouldn't be a problem?

why can't you just answer the question? 

 

"It's. The. Repetition. Of. The. Same. Thing. Over. And. Over. And. Over. Again."

the gameplay of this game involves shooting zombies... something that's been done a thousand times and actually matters when playing the game and not the race of the character... why aren't you focusing on that?
