That's the point, he can be any number of things, but soon as you mention black the response is.

:whoa: that doesn't make sense


Again with this old strawman shyt. No one is asking any other race to make anything. Black people work on Nintendo games, hell the face of Nintendo is a black man

Nintendo has millions of black customers and supporters.

If a Native American man approached Tyler perry and said" heh I'm a big fan of your work, but I noticed you don't have any native Americans in your stories. Can you give us a presence in your work, we have been big supporters for years" He would not be unreasonable and not one of his brothers would tell him. " Why don't you just make it yourself":stopitslime:
Nintendo is ran by the Japanese branch. Reggie is a pr guy the decisions are really made overseas. Iwata runs everything.

What I'm saying is Nintendo exist to cater to Japan first and if the stuff they make for the Japanese catches on in other countries they'll sell there to but the game design isn't made with a western appeal in mind. Nintendo doesn't have any relevant major black characters in their franchises. The population they target isn't black so why would they even bother? Look at Western developed games and you can actually find black protagonists.

Nick Fury was redone as a black character. The only way Link could be black is if Nintendo decided to make it that way and there's next to no chance of that happening.

Nintendo games/consoles sell a hell of a lot more in America than anywhere else. And the reason for conversations such as this one is to force a change. Just like any other company paying/potential customers should challenge the company to cater to their needs. We can't even get our requests in order cause we got dudes like you that want to attack the wrong side.

The fact that they don't have any major black characters should be something they are called out for. People such as yourself shouldn't be attacking your own people just to defend this company.

I'm not attacking anyone I'm speaking logically and rationally. I'd never expect Nintendo to make black characters hell when Japanese make black characters it's embarrassing crap like Barret Wallace and even the cool ones like Sash still gotta either play the back or dance like fools. These designers aren't black and are so far removed from it they don't know how to portray it anyway.

You know what, he's an honorary 3cept :3cept:

And to reply to what Winb said. Nintendo caters to America bruh :ufdup:
Japan isn't even into gaming like they once were. Sales of everything outside the DS is horrid these days :camby:
But to quote Nintendo here...

We are committed to fun and entertainment for everyone
We apologize for disappointing many people by failing to include same-sex relationships in Tomodachi Life. Unfortunately, it is not possible for us to change this game’s design, and such a significant development change can’t be accomplished with a post-ship patch. At Nintendo, dedication has always meant going beyond the games to promote a sense of community, and to share a spirit of fun and joy. We are committed to advancing our longtime company values of fun and entertainment for everyone. We pledge that if we create a next installment in the Tomodachi series, we will strive to design a game-play experience from the ground up that is more inclusive, and better represents all players.
Winb probably got upset over this and wrote Nintendo an angry letter saying "Stand your ground!" while wearing a Zimmerman shirt :snoop:

And here you are making excuses again :stop:
If you think black people are not in and around their culture then you don't know shyt about their culture bruh :ufdup:
African's have been apart of Asian culture since the beginning. They trace it back 30,000yrs
We taught them Kung-Fu, the first Samurai was black :leon:

Lion Style, Tiger Style. These are all African animals bruh. Who taught who.
I know, its a lot to take in. Peep the statues they worship, notice all the black features

They not as clueless as you wanna fake. They don't live in caves. They are intelligent people, correct?
Then fukk outta hurr with your excuses bruh :camby:

nah but seriously,

what did you expect? blacks are some of the most hated and looked down upon on earth. its been that way for a long time but its changing. ignorance and racism extends across the world but blacks probably do get it the worst. :yeshrug:but don't expect the Japanese who are probably the most ruthless and savaged of all Asians to not have racist and/or stereotypical views of blacks just like most of the world do..don't expect Nintendo to change the color of their characters when they were trying to make an elf character that America can relate to when America is the land of the white man.

I'm not making an excuse i'm giving you the reason.

An excuse is an attempt to justify something.
A reason is why something is the way it is.

Japanese don't really cater to blacks in their media. All that old "back to Africa" shyt is dumb. What i'm saying is instead of asking why doesn't someone else do something to cater to my demographic go out there and make it happen yourself. create something that caters to your demographic. Design that style game with a black lead and get it made. that way in the future black kids can see a black game lead that's a respectable person designed by someone that knows the black experience first hand instead of looking to some Asians or Whites to create a black game lead when they don't know first hand the black experience and make goofy acting stereotypical characters anyway.
