Black Developers Speak Out on Stereotypes in Gaming

[GoldenGlove]

THIS is a bigger issue than TLOU honestly....why is my shyt relegated to afro, army buzz and slightly shorter afro

Need that fresh taper option or idk a S-curl option slider or some shyt....Dreadlocks slider...

Devs need to pull up one of these when coding black hair styles into these games

When I saw Prototype 2 I was hyped but when I played it we got the stereotypical nikka which in this case was welcomed he fit the melee and carnage perfectly. Prey was a dope 1st person shooter with a Native American as the lead too

And I still bought prototype 2 just because. I tend to do that with every game I can find with a black protagonist or games created by black developers.

You know...I peeped this when I caught an episode that my wife was watching. I was like, now all the damn barbers out here in Chicago and this dude couldn't get a better cut than that. That shyt is ridiculous

[Infamous45]

not related but i hate that in gta v online they have shytty fitted hats and only Caesar and dreads and baldy as a option for blacks, fukk i look like getting long shaggy hair for my character or a mohawk

rep. great article. I agree with most of it. I also find it a little strange there arent a lot of indian characters when a lot of programmers are indian.

as for gaming tho, yea that over the top stereotyping, and the language is just at first I thought it was because a lot of developing teams are japanese, but actually, the japanese games are less stereotypical than the western ones, look at MGS or Bayonetta.

I dont care what folks say tho, Kratos is black to me.

 

[Larry Lobster]

nikkas still begging for whitey to include them in their shyt
The game industry is no different than the movies/tv industry, they don't give a fukk about diversity and that's how its gonna be.
Go find a black group with money that can fund these projects with black characters, simple like that...

Coli nikkas had to damn near show me undeniable evidence that my nikka Sagat wasn't black.
