Hate is Rising, Love is Dying....
This is what happens when years of racial stereotypes/bias make its way into entertainment. I couldn't imagine not enjoying a film/game because the color of the characters skin. The way they treated Rue in Hunger Games, the black stormtrooper in Star Wars and even a RUMOR of Idris Elba playing bond just angered me more with these people man. It's seriously ridiculous. They are perfectly ok with us playing some athlete, thug but when we change it up, they're beside themselves. You can put the blame squarely at the feet of Hollywood and the rest of the media for creating an image of black people that is NOT true for most of us
edit: This is an interview with the BF1 game designer....notice how dude phrased the first question and then said fukk, "why is he black god dammit" with the followup
....these cacs man
GamesBeat: The character you have on the front of the promotional stuff you were showing, the guy in the cape with the club and stuff, why that particular character?
Berlin: We thought it was a cool image for the cover. When we set out on this game, we wanted to depict not just the common view of what the war was like. We wanted to challenge some preconceptions. We want to delve into some of the unknowns of World War One. Maybe people don’t know that this person fought or that person fought, that this army was involved. We’re stretching out and bringing all those stories into the game. But I can’t go into any specific details as far as which armies or characters we’re depicting at this point.
GamesBeat: You’re talking about revealing sides of the war that people don’t necessarily know about. A lot of people have made note of the fact that your cover character is black, even though obviously black people fought in World War One. For you guys, was that a conscious decision, an opportunity to show that there was more breadth to this war than people know about?
Berlin: That’s the thing. People don’t know that this was the case. We want to show diversity in the game. That’s been a key goal. You can see in the trailer that there’s a Bedouin woman warrior on a horse. She’s a playable character in the single-player campaign.
