racism in left 4 dead 2 ! ! !

So today i give into temptation and begin researching left 4 dead 2 and what i saw actually seriously pissed me off.

Not just one but two "black" people now dont get me wrong i love black people but this is just pushing on this goddamn stereotype that black people are the biggest "survivors" during a zombie apocolypse. It is a pig disgusting fictional stereotype based off an old movie which in my respect should be banned for the way it degrades an entire ethnic minority.

All i can say is Gabe Newell i am dissapoint.

Cool story, go blog it.

Ahhh I get it, because of a stereotype set by films, black people shouldn't be allowed in a zombie game...

Ahem...I have to say sir that your logic is completely sound and you may have just posted the most irrefutable fact ever onto System Wars. Now, if you will excuse me, I have to go write a paper on the many abuses of sarcasm

Yeah, because having african americans in the game makes it racist??? :|

omg in bioshock in rapture theres no black people at all I CALL RACISM!!!!!!!

Wut? Silent-Hal

Too many black survivors in the game or something.

Wow..... this is... I can't even describe the drop my IQ took reading this.

I would love to go on and rant and flame etc but I've only just come back from a 7day ban. So your getting off lightly OP.

Cool story, go blog it.

I know! And L4D is also racist! Whats with all the white folks? Why are all the infected white? does valve hate white people?

(sarcasm)

washd123

u sound ridiculous

So...2 characters of a game are black, I sure see the discrimination and degradation there...

now dont get me wrong i love black peopleliquid-ocelot

:? Now we REALLY got you wrong :P

Actually TC, I will bite. You dont have ethnic minorities in a game, then its racism. You have ethnic minorities in a game is racism. Make up your dam mind!

[QUOTE="navyguy21"]Racism in RE5 :roll: Racism in L4D 2 :roll: There is racism to be found in ANY game if you look hard enough :PSilent-Hal

Before someone tries to pull the RE4 card on you, it was just as stereotypical too.

It is obvious the only way to cure this complete racism is to ban blacks from games!!

[QUOTE="navyguy21"]Racism in RE5 :roll: Racism in L4D 2 :roll: There is racism to be found in ANY game if you look hard enough :PSilent-Hal

except that tribes like that do exist in africa and south america.

so again hows it racist?

also doesnt there have to be intent for something to be racist? i mean just because a game has you killing all blacks or all whites doesnt automatically mean its racist

[QUOTE="navyguy21"]Racism in RE5 :roll: Racism in L4D 2 :roll: There is racism to be found in ANY game if you look hard enough :PSilent-Hal

Well, considering that is how many people live in Afirca even today... then yes, you are right. Totally racist.

Post like this fuel the post that you read. Ignore it goes away

No. But there is some of this in it.

I think your overracting this is just some coinsidence.

I cant seem to grasp at where the TC is actually coming from here. Is this just flame bait or something?

omg guys in NFS shift i didnt see any black drivers!!!! RACIST!!!!!

[QUOTE="navyguy21"]Racism in RE5 :roll: Racism in L4D 2 :roll: There is racism to be found in ANY game if you look hard enough :PSilent-Hal

indeed, but I'm pretty sure TC is being sarcastic at least I hope so, thats the way I read it. Again I hope I'm right if not then WOW. But if so, then alot of people's sarcasm detector is broken.

I can grasp at where the TC is actually coming from here. this just flame bait.

Yes, things can get unbelievably racist when you dig deep into a landscape.

What is the point of this thread? What's wrong with black characters in video games? We actually need more as there are barely any and especially in a leading role.

Yeah i recently beat re5 and theres no way to refute the racism in that game. Going into a African tribal vilage, killing them, foraging around and finding diamonds, selling them for weapons, only to kill more tribals.... interesting concept.

Argh you people are picking me up wrong at every turn here ffs.

Look back 200 years black people where stereotyped as being "cotton pickers". It's a dirty stereotype that if you said to a black man today you would soon be shown whats what. What you people fail to grasp is that this is our modern day cotton picking and the very fact that you all claim "ITS A VIDEO GAME IT CANT BE RACIST" makes me sick to my very core at just how far backwards this world is going.

Aren't black people ususally the ones that die in horror movies?
