Princess Zelda, Princess Peach, Samus all blond hair blue eyes. It's clear Nintendo has an agenda...

It's not just Nintendo, the Japanese love them some Blonde Haired, Blue Eyed heroines

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. 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.

That's odd, because last time I checked. Black people make up the majority of this planet.
Most hated? Yeah, people hate on others shine. Black people have shined for a long time, haters say otherwise
So much so, that they try to erase anything black people have created to claim it for their own.
Christopher Columbus
The Spaniards, I don't remember how they got Amerigo to be the "founder" of America but maps in Africa that date back thousands of years have North/South America and Antarctica mapped out already

Is what I'm saying news to you bruh

You are Asian. But you don't really know your history. Here you are today denying what your own culture's foundation comes from. What does any of this gotta do with the lack of black characters in videogaming? Well, I just broke down why. Even if you don't realize it You said it yourself
We hated right Thats why they imitate us... out of hatred.
But just because they love our swag, doesn't mean they ALL respect black culture.
Its about time Black people get some respect in the videogame space. We can do better than TJ Combo and Balrog
I'm not saying the next Link needs to be black. I'm not even saying the next lead character needs to be black
Or the supporting character. How about a NPC who is delivering the newspaper GHAT DAMN.
I'm gonna make this a topic on my

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.

I gave you the reason, you gave the excuse
You saying I should go make a game myself is your cop-out.
Did you see the nice letter I posted from Nintendo regarding gays in Tomogotchi?
Even nintendo recognizes how they left a "group of people" out.
But like Meach says, when it regards black people the usual response is go make it yourself
You would have NEVER said some shyt like that to the gay angle.
You been conditioned my brotha You are making excuses, one black gaming company does not make the other 99.9 percent of the gaming companies exempt from including black characters

You are making excuses and come off wit "Dem Vibes"

Spoiler

That's the new slang yall

Dem Vibes

bruh...
Theres no such thing as Lion style. You know why? because Lions arent native to East Asia..but tigers are.

at most of your post. just for the sake of argument what are your sources?

Sure thing pal..

In the video above, while what he says is true. In Africa, they didn't believe in writing down their beliefs
So that's why they say religion originated from Asia. But that is where the first written material was found
I would like to take a break from all this knowledge sharing to send a shoutout to @posterchild336 for believing in Clifton Powell III. I'm sorry, I still find that incredibly hilarious

Princess Zelda, Princess Peach, Samus all blond hair blue eyes. It's clear Nintendo has an agenda...

Sure thing pal..

you posted a picture of africans going to china to study kung fu.

 

[tr2k]

why every fukking video game person got to be black to yall?

thats "racist" in it self.. I want link to be samoan! or mexican with big ass fukking mustache.

but naw being real the makers of zelda are japs...hell they hardly put themselves in games they get 4 inch hard ons for whitey features.

How can it be racists when yu want to see more representation of yourself.

...gon leave this right here

Elves, a word from Germanic mythology, are frequently featured in Fantasy fiction. In modern fiction, particularly because of the influence from J. R. R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings, elves are modeled mostly after his original description: tall, human-like creatures of otherworldly beauty, with Kings and Queens. Along with this development, Dark elves are often modeled as a more sinister counterpart to the High elves, like the Drow or the Trow, which are the fairy-like dark creatures of Orcadian and Shetlandic folklore. The dark elves or black elves are presented in Germanic mythology as dwarves & gray ones.

No wonder they never put blacks in games

 

[Supercoolmayo]

I thought the thread is gonna be about Link going into people's houses smash stuff and taking their rupees. No way a black link doesn't get noticed

this just proves that blacks were accepted and respected in Japan. at Blacks inventing kung foo and samurai..if its true why did all trace of it disappear from africa?

 

[marcuz]

courtney went full on retarded with that post.

 

[Cryptocurrency Scarface]

why can't link abuse steroids and be like zangief's size? link will always be a puny white blonde kid. The Gerudos are a race the Hylians are a race as are the Zoras and Gorons so get that bullshyt diversity simp shyt out of Zelda

The japanese don't even really represent themselves in Manga and cartoons they always seem to have characters with enormously large eyes as they have a eurocentric view of beauty

Nintendo might need an IP with a black protagonist though, as it is the smash bros roster has a lot of whiteys

Again with this same dumb ass shyt.

You building/developing every product that caters to your needs?

I've seen you here complaining about plenty if products. Why didn't you just shut up and make your own?

And who said anything about "the black experience"? Zelda isn't portraying the white experience, he is an elf in a magical land. You wouldn't need to know anything about black people in order to allow the elves to have varying skin colors. No one is asking Nintendo to make a rpg about growing up in Chicago.

Why are you making shyt up
So all traces disappeared from Africa? When did ever look muhfukka
You want that info to disappear, every other race claims things as their own
You Asain kats love rice right? Another thing they got from Africa back then. NO surprise here that you dudes are not too bright
Look it up, world history is vasrly different than "regional" history. America still teaches about Christopher Columbus, you ever ask yoursef WHY
Its sad people dont. Why you think you are reacting like you are? You too want that hidden, its called inferiority complex
Its the only reason why AS YOU PUT IT "Blacks are the most hated" but you dont hear me tho. I already dropped a video that points out the Black influence on Asain culture, you ignoring the Nagas bruh Nagasaki.. they worship negros mang. Buhddahs name is Samboa...Sambo, please read up then get back 2 me

Link has had brown hair and he's had different color eyes.

it's common for blond hair to become darker with age. like I said before, I think this has more to do with the art-style they choose. 'cartoon link' has yellow hair. the older, more 'realistic' link has brown hair

I'm not sure when his eye color really changed. it's usually blue-ish, or just black (no color shown) like in Wind Waker. again, that seems to have more to do with art style

 

[Kidd Dibiase]

if we had a black version of everything wouldnt that be c00ning
