What do you guys think?  He has a point...to a degree...most of his argument is VERY valid.

One thing I disagreed with is, I REALLY don't think CAPCOM added Sheva to the game due to the racism comments.  I honestly believe she was initially planned.

I dont, i just have that feeling she was added and was the reason the game was delayed so much to fit her round the story.

Who cares?
That outfit was horrid.
*sigh*
Valid points but I think they'll fall on deaf ears unfortunately. I highly doubt that there's going to be a massive surge of non-Caucasian heroes now through some small debate.

Proofread carefully to see if you any words out.

I saw it the first day it was uploaded. And you know... he's right.

What I do wish is that more original heroes come to existence.

Shiva in that costume.........   WHAT THE FUCK?   WHAT?  They couldn't just have her in a bikini to show off all that skin?  Capcom wanted her to be ethnic my ass.   When it comes to Japan they really don't have clue about other races.  Seriously.  I've read in a couple of books the only thing they know about black people is what they see in movies, tv shows and music from the US.  Seriously. 


It's always about the "great white hope."  Never see a minority leading character in any major game or comic.  Not one.

FUCK that.  Even in comics as well.  I also wish for more differnet ethnic gropus to be featured in games and comics.

Hey look it's a Mexican super hero.  Marvel or DC's asses would give him some cheesy shit like when he's beating people up he'd say "TACO TIME!!!" or some shit like that.   Or some lame ass costume or power. 

Comic legend George Perez once said he hated a couple of characters DC had in comics he was working being that they were stereo types of latin culture.   And even told the people in charge the characters sucked ass.

Then white characters (even real people) acting and talking like they're black.  That irriates me to no end.   I REALLY HATE THAT.

I guess John Mooney said it best on Chappelle's show.:

"Everyone wants to act like a nigga, but no body wants to be a nigga."

More diversity in gaming in general would be nice, and maybe less stereotypes, and maybe just for the US and the UK there should be more over weight people just to keep it more in line with reality.

One half was semi sarcastic the other I truly believe I will let you guess which is which :P
Thank you.
