He looks even more racist/ridiculous now, also why does nobody remember Prey?

She looks like a inaccurate and insensitive caucasian character.

So Turok hard-counters Riptor, right?

What your describing is backward and thus inapplicable.

Backward?

Thats racist.

You'd be surprised how much Natives love their own stereotype.

Hell when polled most natives didn't think the name "Redskins" for Washington's team was bad and actually praised the name. I think it was something like 90% of Native (above a certain percentage point of how native they were I forget the where but I think it was like above 25%) didn't find the name "Redskins" offensive at all. The found it as a point of pride that Washington would want to name their team after their culture, even as a parody of their culture in a way.

I'm 25% native myself, and I certainly don't mind most of the more positive stereotypes where Natives are badass hunters. Is it inaccurate that all are badass live off the land noble hunters? Of course. But so long as its complimentary I personally wouldn't care. If it were derogatory maybe I would care. But even then I have thick skin and I'm not that native to begin with.

I thought this was that one pornstar that is super into butt stuff

>I'm 25% native myself
Protip user you should never say this in public. I'm embarrassed for you that you'd even say it.

Do you have high cheekbones?

They're right though. Turok is dead, Prey ditched the Native American protag as far back as the cancelled sequel, even Pharah just has her native alt costume because it looks cool
>b-but she's a leaf, muh comic
76 is her dad. Get over it.

I don't like the hair but the rest of the costume looks good.

What are the best Injun characters in videogames?

Turok

Not him, but why?

Because is a retarded thing to say.

Again, why?

Uhm so what is happening to his old design?

isn't pharah Egyptian?

Because it turns you into a sorority girl talking about how she's 1/64th cherokee.

Unless you're half or more, just don't mention it. Makes you sound really dumb.

Where I live, native stereotypes include drinking listerine. We actually just call them chugs. Most of the time they're usually homeless or poor despite being exempt from income and property taxes.

This is just a new alternate costume. All of his other costumes remain in the game.

im pretty sure that people were not playing ki because it had bad representation of minorities

Nothing. This is just a free skin.

Because i'm something-percent swedish, german, american and something else and there'ss no denying i'm not from these countries, i'm not associated with these countries, i don't share their culture and i'm an easter european slav through and through.

It's a fucking dumb thing to say. You're not Apache. You share nothing with these people.

They were originally working with the tribe for his initial design but had to stop because they were on a strict timeline to get the Season 1 characters out - they just went back to them to hammer out the free skin.

It's the tribe the fictional character actually belongs to too.

Nothing, I'm pretty sure his other design and classic costumes are still in

I don't mind the look of the new one anyways, the hair is a bit wacky but that's how KI characters have always been

This is so retarded, the old model looked like a weird native american but from a very futuristic 90's point of view. The new design is very generic.

>strive for realistic depictions
>Sup Forums thinks its bad

oh i get it, its sjw pandering

It's a free alternate skin.

Eh I don't care about redesigns as long as they're not really horrid, it looks fine

KI is a badass game anyways, trying to be more sensitive about one specific character doesn't bother me in the least

So you're telling me this character will get a realistic depiction only to get brutally beaten and/or killed in the game?

I can't imagine the tribe's face when their realistic costume is being wiped on the floor.

sounds reasonable

>We want to avoid stereotypes
>Said the stereotyped SJW looking PR person

Of all the shit about cultural sensitivity and what not, the way this was done actually seems pretty fine. But whoever hired that woman needs to understand the irony of a walking stereotype being the frontman for this sort of thing.

I do like those new axes or tomahawks or whatever they are.

>my autistic headcanon surpasses literal official material

who cares, KI is still the best fighting game currently

Who do you main?

How stupid do you think they are? I'm pretty sure they understand what a fighting game is, and that the characters brutally kill eachother

>brutally kill
Not in nu-KI

I don't see the issue. It's an alternate skin.

>pharah is officially a Canadian

Where is the proofs?

She was in a bar on christmas that was showing international sports coverage, and one of which was hockey, so leafcucks having no accomplishments of their own are now trying to claim Pharah as canadian.

This desu, if they replaced it that would be concerning but it's just free extra content.

What does it look like anyway?

how would you know?

Its because the name had positive origins and the mascot attempts to be authentic even its a generic native american.

The same can't be said for the Cleveland Indians. Seriously. Chief Wahoo is old fashioned family racism.

For someone who hates stereotypes, she sure is keen to dress and act like one.

Dumb cunt.

Combo redesign incoming

What exactly does a bunch of overweight, jobless reservation-dwelling alcoholics spending all their time watching Mexican soap operas know about their "culture" and "heritage"?

They could and probably DID fill the empty-headed problem-haired nu-devs with shit to get an easy paycheck for more smokes and scotch. But the "culturally sensitive" retards eat it up and don't question anything about it.

why must we care so much about extreme minorities? like, it's okay to care about them, but i honestly don't feel is if they need representation in video games at all. a "proper" modern-day native american is likely a drunk drug addict, and that thing in the video doesn't even look like a native -- he looks like a fucking demon or something

my aunt is a teacher in an elementary school and they had a pizza party today. cheese only for the whole fucking school. not a single topping. all because of a few fucking vegetarian indians and one little shit and even shittier parents who won't allow him to eat anything that casts a shadow or come out of the ground

Because you/he said "im 25%", how hard is to follow a conversation?

>You can only portray a culture if its all feel-good positive happy happy
Dumb Americunts are dumb.

Because you don't say you're something-something-percent-something if you don't interact with the "thing". If i'm 10% russian but i lived in venezuela all my life, i'm not russian. I have nothing to do with russians. If i'm 10% russian and i lived in russia, then yeah.

REMINDER THAT TODAY'S NATIVE AMERICANS ARE MOSTLY DRUNK, DRUG-RIDDLED WASTES WHO GET DRUNK AND RUN ACROSS THE HIGHWAY IN ORDER TO SEE IF ANY ONE OF THEM GETS HIT BY A CAR

I don't understand what's so offensive about a sick mohawk

Honestly, out of all the minority bitching, I figure American Indians are the least bullshit.

it should be asians. mostly the non-brown ones

You are retarded and know nothing of Native American culture. Saying your 25% of whatever tribe is NOT like some burger saying he has random Yuroopean ancestory he is proud of but doesnt know shit about.

The point of fact is most genuine native tribe members that live on the rez now have such mixed blood that claiming to be even a half or quarter blood is a point of pride since very very few now can honestly claim to be 100%.

WHY are her glasses so big
Those are unreasonably alrge glasses

So if you're 25% cherooke or whatever and go to a modern job, have a modern car, live in a suburb, eat modern food, have a nuclear family, do you go around telling people you're 25% cherooke and actually think you're a native american?

>we gotta be super sensitive and shit about native americans and their deep rich history and culture omg ;_;

What is the point of this pandering after the US practically destroyed them. Why suddenly try to act like they're sacred and must be respected? That's fucking disgusting hypocrisy, at least have the decency and respect to finish them off for good.

Tal Set is the best native American

Easy there, chief.

HEY-a hey-a hey-a HEY-a hey-a hey-a hey-a!

almost typed a serious reply
7/10 almost had me

>one thing that we lack in the gaming industry is accurate and sensitive native american characters
Uhhh what about T.Hawk?

this extends to all "minorities". its really just a small set of liberal idiots that actually manage to infiltrate a specific field and ruin it for everyone.
everyone should see this for example.
its short, too the point and gets the message across to even the most retarded person.

youtube.com/watch?v=rrBxZGWCdgs

honestly, they would believe he's that much native -- and that's about it. people don't assume they live in teepees and hunt animals. it's like asking an american chink why he's not wearing a ching chong hat or why he's even speaking english

Why is the picture for this thread some white chick and not a screencap of Chief Thunder?

Oh, you're a shitposter trying to stir crap up. OK.

>youtube.com/watch?v=rrBxZGWCdgs

>fox news
>trying to do satire
>that other guy saying he's "25% native"

everyone just stop, the cringe is too much for me.

wew

just watch the whole thing.
the core message is simple:
people like nicole fawcette have no fucking idea what they are talking about.

>posting Italian man
Ok edge lord. Your ideas are extreme but in the minority.

T. Hawk is a beaner

WHY DO THEY ALWAYS HAVE TO COLOR THEIR HAIR WTF

Yea u right

The current Americans who live there today are the ones who were responsible for fucking the natives in the first place

May as well. Elizabeth Warren's far less, goes around doing that, and it makes people want her to be president.

GAMERGATE II

a lot of the niggers were lying in that video. a good portion of them do not carry ID. it's their "culture" to "not give a shit," and in hpes of not being identified when arrested. i think they're okay with internet, though, but not too savvy

youtube.com/watch?v=Dj0drevGOgA#t=1m3s

>texas sharpshooter: the video

user, I agree liberals are stupid and voter ID isn't necessarily racist, but this video doesn't really prove dick.

You could find 10 black people saying that General Lee did nothing wrong, doesn't make it factual.

Besides, the argument is mostly about poor minorities, not all minorities, anyone who's saying the latter isn't smart enough to understand their own argument and is just parroting what they thought they heard on the news when they were half-assedly paying attention while staring at their phones or something.

let's not forget they think it's okay and "cool" to lie

That's hardly why people want her to be president. It's because she isn't afraid of holding you right wing racist fag hats responsible for the fucked up shit you think you can say. You all despise the act of social justice but when it comes time to separate yourselves from the actually engaging in it you crumble like dry cheese. Calling for action through an angry mob when the law doesn't do what you like is the definition of fucking social justice.

So I should be claiming my native american heritage because my great-great grandmother fucked an injun?

I'm white as rice.

Fuck why did I laugh that's super rude! Shame on you, spurdo!

Is killer instinct still stuck on windows 10?

um... you should for all the gibesmedats

what, native americans have to be homeless savages who hunt and fish with bow and arrow?

No it's also on Xbox one :^)

Wow, thanks god, im 25% jewish. Im glad that im not a filthy jew, according to you

So what, if I'm a mix mash of things that don't go over a half, I should just never mention my heritage/ethnicity at all? Lmao

>actually looks cool
>Historically accurate
>is free
>doesn't replace default costume, you aren't forced to use it

Why are people mad about this?

It's silly as fuck though this is what they wanted to fix when they have a fucking Incan character named Maya with generic meosamerican pyramids on her stage when the Maya and Mesoamerica is on a different continent then the Incans were.

>Trying to do satire
Do you know what satire is?

Superior

In Canada he would have status and be allowed to live on reserves, get free university education and be exempt from income tax so it's not embarrassing at all you dumb faggot.

>that pompadour
>cool
yeah nah, he looks ridiculous

and I don't know why anyone would whine about Thunder's base design, he looks rad as fuck, I'm a whitey and I'd want to look like Thunder

native american stereotype is a cool thing, not derogatory, fucking retards, I'm fucking tired of liberals getting hurt feefees in place of the people who are actually being "offended" (and these people are not offended, since they're not ashamed of their culture)

>Sensitive
Native Americans were fucking brutal warriors, though. Why do you think we name them after attack choppers.

>Why are people mad about this?
Because they are virtue signalling like a bunch of cunts and using a dyed hair tumblrina with problem glasses to do it. If you want to do something good just do it, don't announce it to the world like you are so awesome.

Talking to Native Americans about a Native American character and using their authentic traditional garb and weapons as references is all fantastic.

What irks me is the SJW notions of "cultural sensitivity" behind it. That shit is actual racism. You're belittling their people thinking that they can't take a joke about stereotypes.
