WatchDogs Trayvon Martin reference

Yep because they should of been able to at least put a flannel on some or a pea coat or leather or polo or gawd damn zoot Suit on em,
Man this discussion is going nowhere. I'd chalk this up to a random coincidence BUT at the same time I kind of question the intent behind whoever put in the names for characters in this game knowing a good bulk of the NPC's are inner city black folks. It could've been a mere coincidence again but nobody will know. 
Lol seriously I wear a hoody dang near every day they're great for spring and fall!Lots of nikkas wear hoodies. What the fukk are you talking about? I'm sorry you hold yourself in such low regards that you equate hoodies to white stereoptypes of us
Only criminals wear hoodies every day
.
Game has over 3000 character kits. Did you see the pics @daze23 posted on page one? Everyone in this game is wearing different shyt. Blacks are not just wearing hoodies
Yea... I was beginning to think he was exaggerating that everyone is hoodies... And walked around on the game for a while to see.
But the whole Kravon Fortin thing seems like an insensitive mistake more than a blatant racist act to me. I think whoever was in charge of names heard Trayvon Martin and remixed it basically.
Whether is it was a coincidence or on purpose that that character happened to have the name
Y'all quick to throw pop music lesbian Justin Bieber under the bus, which is easy cause y'all don't fukk with him anyway, but when #inherently starts hitting close to home it's 
but they had slavery DLC for Assassins Creed, they ain't mean it like that.

Besides, it's not like these games are made by a team of one. There are dozens of people involved in the process and it never came up ONCE that hey, this doesn't look too good? They couldn't just take out that Kavon Fortin name and change it to Sumner Welles or something like that? What type of name is Kavon Fortin anyway? It sounds like a poorly disguised troll. It's always funny finding out just where the militancy stops for some people.

You're either a naive c00n or a disingenuous cac.

Hail the victors
was gonna buy it........wont now.
I truly believe it's a coincidence, simply because, well, @daze23 posted a pic of another Kavon Fortin and another guy named Kavon, and after hearing of this I went about for a few minutes to see how many Kavon's and Fortin's I could find.
Now I'm no master of video game programming, but from the amount of profiling I did, I noticed patterns in the kinds of names I was seeing. Obviously the Jamal's and Kavon's were black, the Hong's and Lee's were Asian, etc. for each race they've included. I think they have certain first and last names piled into the database and tied to certain races(and obviously sexes) and then the NPC's names and extra info are just doled out randomly. None of the Kavon's I found were wearing hoodies or were drug dealers.
On top of that, I haven't seen anyone going out and doing the mission and coming up with the same results. It's a side-mission in a Gang Convoy, which is a mission in which you initially are supposed to non-lethally take down a certain figure and after doing that you either Kill his back-up or Escape from them in whatever fashion you deem necessary. The game doesn't ever really force you to kill special targets(that I've seen so far), it's just an option that's there if you're not about that stealth life. If yall feel it's purposeful and was added to the game as an easter egg, why don't yall post links to vids of people doing the mission and coming up with the same results? That would be WAY more conclusive than this one instance in a game full of randomly generated characters. Until then, I'm gonna roll with the randomly generated argument, simply because that holds more ground to me. It's still a very
subject but IDK brehs.

Interesting but programmers have a history of making elaborate Easter eggs. It's still bad form for it to be in there at all, random or not.
