"Alternately, if the black minstrel character"

so... you are conceding that race is central here... which means you have contradicted yourself

 

"The solution is this: Write better characters."

the game isn't out yet... how do you know about its writing?

it automatically has to have bad writing because the character is white?

do you have a problem with white people or something?

 

"If your character is a lame stereotype"(because they are a white man)... you forgot this part in your statement

 

"Don't make all your black characters thugs, all your asian characters math geeks, and all your Indian characters taxi drivers"

in what universe is that the case? my character in destiny is a black woman, i played a black space cowboy in starhawk while i still had a ps3, in infamous 2 the scientist who died advising cole mcgrath was a black man etc etc etc right off the top of my head

this claim holds less water than a cheese grater

I'm trying to be polite here, which is quite hard to do when you keep chiding in with your ridiculously stupid "You just hate white people" comments. You clearly are just trying to push buttons or push a narrative, and I will no longer be party to that. I've explained my point several times. If you wish to engage with me further, actually read my posts and try again. Good day.

i have never said that you hate white people, i asked if you have a problem with white people because you automatically jumped to the conclusion that the writing of this game must be bad even though its not out yet

 

"You clearly are just trying to push buttons or push a narrative"

oh and you're not when you claim a game that isn't even out yet has bad writing

 

"If you wish to engage with me further, actually read my posts"

was this not your post: "The solution is this: Write better characters."

i'll ask once more, how do you know the game has bad writing?

would you opinion be different if the character was asian?
