good point on the mask aspect of Majora's Mask. I'm sure the Zora and Goron lobbyist are setting up picket lines as we type.

Spaniards are white though. If they weren't, I'm almost certain that  many would be complaining back then too.

Nintendo *did* remove the more blatantly Islamic imagery from Ocarina of Time in later releases, after all, but i suppose it would be disingenuous of me to associate race with religion so narrowly.

Anybody who says a video game like that is racist is a fucking idiot. Obviously if a game is about killing black people then yeah its racist but how could LoZ possibly be racist. That's absurd.

That's like saying Killzone is racist against the Helghast race because it doesn't show the story from their viewpoint.

OMG

The Sisko is not amused.

LOL I laughed the instant I read he was called black. I understand this was a joke but this what pisses me off. This brings up the age old argument. When somebody says that a nude portrait they saw is inapropriate and perverted, they're the ones who are the perverts since that is all what they see in the painting, statue or game. This is what distinguishes us from them. As gamers, we see it as a game thats fun and nothing else, to painters and obsververs they see it as a fine work of art to some extent, and as to film, book and tv show buffs, they see it as an immersive story.

People are stupid if they call games like zelda, Reisdent Evil 5, or movies like 300 racist due to the portrale of the persians. Im suprised people haven't said anything about mario since he eats mushrooms, gets the money and saves the damsel in distress. They already said things about popeye, scooby doo, looney tunes, and tom and jerry (which is my all time favorite cartoons)

But enough about my rant ;this zelda article gave me a really good laugh. I guess the Hylians are the white supremacy and the guerudos the black minority. I don't know what race the Zoras fall under but they sures hell dont fall under mexicans (lol).

i find that black dude with fro that has a chocobo living in it in FF13 offensive and i'm not even black.

Nintendo are a Japanese company. Why oh why would they be actively supporting white supremacy?

Does that mean they hate themselves?

no its not racist
