i think racism is a very fine line to be honest ... i mean yeah that is extremely racist but something makes me think the developer has just taken something happing now and rather than thinking about it used it.
now i know what this next set of comments will make me sound like, and trust me i don't have any love for racists themselves ... however, the current deemables that dictact if something is racist or not are extremely unfair.
it seems that if you put in a white guy into a game and have someone running after him shooting him, hunting him down, stabbing the crap out of him - THAT is oki
put a woman there! or a black guy!
SUDDENDLY its a sick or rascist game...
perhaps I don't find it offensive that this is happeneing, but what the hell happens to suddenly make a perfectly fun and reasonable game into something that isn't??
not to be funny but this isn't just games where this happens, its in most things!
a cop beats a white guy when arresting him, sure he'll be charged for it and all - but how many reports do you see on the news that it happened?
I'm sorry but equal right doesn't mean that you subverge another set of people... what is good for one is good for the other!
I mean take a look at this oki - an aussie come to the UK god knows why, perhaps so he isn't biten by a spider in the tub and killed by it
(j|k)
But he takes up a bar job (don't ask me what it is, they're attracted to bar work!) everything is cool!
However!
Anyone recently seen the news about how aussies are calling for british people, particularly backpackers to be given time limits on how long they're allowed to work within australia?
Sorry, but this is probably the most perfect example right there of our current "equal" rights in full effect.
just imagine if the US and UK also had similar thoughts about this!?
both the US and UK have overwhelming unemployement, particularly within thier national residents - however jobs and benifits are still given to alot of immigrants.
You don't see the protests about that making the news!
One thing i've certainly noticed is that America is a more "racist" driven country, everyone is careful about what they say around others of different culture and religion, yet so two faced about it because as soon as they leave its like sickening.
Now here i see here every community seems to have thier own "zone" as it were, and you know when you're in say asian are of town, russian, african, hispanic, etc...
yet when i lived in the uk, where i used to live perhaps we didn't have an overwhelming flow of every colour or religion and such - can't remember hearing of anything being "racially" stimulated, even with all of this tabliban crap.
In recent years there have been growing conserns about the teens in the area as they're starting to form gangs, smalltime drug wars and stuff that only really the larger cities are common to - which is no doubt because of Area now being one of
the clubs for the UK.
i think ya'll need to wake up and learn, there is no need to defend or fight for everyone like this ... if you can all learn that your friends are just that an not simply statistics to make you sound all good, perhaps ya know others will learn.
I can tell you this for nowt, for me i can't name what of my friends are what - because i don't sit there and think "oh i've got a black friend so i mustn't be racist", because as you can tell i probably am a lil - its not for me to judge but everyone else.
Thing is I don't have problems with people cause of anything, they can believe what they like and be blue, purple and green for all i care ... i'll have a problem with someone because they've crossed me in someway.
And i wouldn't think you're colour will mean that when i beat ya ass into the ground i'll go any softer cause can forget that.
Women on the other hands are a different bag of chips, never rise to or abuse them in any form
it's how i've been brought up - and its not like how other say all smug "oh i've never hit a woman cause... <<total bs>>", ya don't do it cause where's the honour in it?
I've been put in real bad states before even hospitalised cause i won't defend myself against them.
It's like invalids, within wheelchairs - you want to piss one off quickly ... TREAT THEM LIKE THEY'RE NOT PEOPLE, help them without help, make a big deal about how they should be treated with care!
They're just as tough as any of you, they deserve to be treated like just that way too.
If it was a game like wheelchair basket ball or special olympics, i can bet everyone here 50quid that alot of NON invalid protestors would call for it closed down because it is "offensive" ... and quite fankly thats bullcrap, because what the gamer wants to see on the screen is more and more themselves. And no doubt a perfectly good game would be taken off the market because of people believeing thier helping.
YOUR NOT, your just focusing on what a problem it is, when really there is no problem - if someone wants to have a different opinion then who are you to tell them that its wrong. You'd think that because almost every war in existance has been over this very fact of religion differences we'd learn after several millennia ... sad that the term of it has been redefined!
Anata aru kowagaru no watashi!
