This is why we need diversity in gaming.

by diversity do you mean stronk independent black woman with afro?

>I hate white people

There's room for that racist behavior here, bigot.

I'm totally fine with brown/women protagonists if they're well written
because the majority of those white guys aren't

Fuck, Marry, Kill thread

It's almost like the people that make the games want the characters to look like the

Mind blowing eh?

>I'm totally fine with brown/women protagonists if they're well written
So essentially none of them? western devs use these character's "diversity" as their primary characteristic and forego any interesting traits with them hence why they're generally mary sues

>I'll fight for diversity by being racist! That'll work!

Fuck Shepard, Kill Nathan Drake, Marry Chris Redfield

Not always a good thing.

We need diversity, but we dont need black monkeys in videogames.

But then all of the black characters end up looking the same. There's only so much you can do when designing a realistic human.

Fuck Frank West,
Marry Michael De Santa and get him away from Los Santos
Kill Isaac Clarke; I mean he's suffered enough

Fuck Shepard, Marry Snake, Kill Joel

>yfw "more diversity" exclusively means more blacks

>Majority of gamers are 18-32, single, white, with a large amount of disposable income
>People continue to act surprised about 20-30yr old white male protags, with a bit of stubble or a short beard, who are likely American because many people watch American movies
>Also surprised that we continue to see horrible DLC practices and slot-machine type microtransactions due to 'whale' customers, who have all this disposable income to sink into their favourite vidya
>Further surprised by how popular TnA is to all these straight male gamers

I'm not complaining, I like being pandered to. I'll still play who the fuck ever if they're cool or characterized well. New Lara for instance doesn't fuck about and kills dudes constantly, acts like a proper no-nonsense survivor in Rise compared to the pansy-ass she was in the first reboot.

So when are we getting it?

Exactly. We should go back to stylized humans, animals, robots, and whatever else

Can you name them all Sup Forums? Are you a TRUE gaymer?

Not enough blonds

All game protagonists should be create-a-character.

They're all so dreamy!

>game made by 99% white males has a white male protagonist
>this is somehow viewed as racist
If you want diversity, make your own game you. Trying to control what someone else does with their own project to suit your wants and needs is disgusting

>white people make white games

Why is neogaf so stupid? Can someone explain this to me?

kill yourself OP
videogames need to be videogames
end of the story

Whenever I see reaction images like this, I imagine an ugly, sloppy, unkempt neckbeard behind the post.

Nobody views it as racist, you insecure little faggot. It's just that others take note of this and genuinely want to add some variation for multiple reasons. You don't have to have white people to have a non-white protagonist.

Why is Shepard made for fucking?

Why did this person pick Alex Denton instead of Adam Jensen for this "generic white males in vidya" pic?

>have to *hate

Kill ALL straight white cis males NOW

Some different hair colors would be nice.

All black casts and all female casts are hella diverse.

The white race is the most diverse one we have more than one hair and eye color and many face shapes no other races compare. You can hardly tell an indian from a mexican

racist against blonds

But user, they do. Haven't you seen the ridiculous amounts of tumblr posts that bleed into real world media about how racist the game industry is for having a majority of white, male protagonists?
I couldn't give less of a shit what the protagonist looks like, that's the point here. Caring so much about the race of a protagonist is racist in itself, but we already knew that those crying out about this are incredibly racist towards white people.

>others take note of this and genuinely want to add some variation
The thing is that those calling for the variation are not the people who buy games, they just want something to complain about. We've seen this happen time and time again. Catering to the SJW crowd who don't actually play or purchase games simply to appease them never equals more sales because they are not the majority audience by a long shot.

>fragile white males coming out the wordwork

lmao

We don't "need" anything in vidya beyond good vidya.

This represents the average (((white))) american.

If people want diversity in games they should make their own games wich represents their demographic instead of being egoistical pieces of shit and forcing others to acommodate them.

Don't tell us, tell the ultra timid investors who won't fund anything but "man with gun in green/grey and brown color pallet" games anymore

What's wrong with that picture?

>product represents the overwhelming majority of it's consumers

They could chuck an actual white person with brown/blonde hair and white skin in for once, instead of all these jews.

Most of them in the op clearly aren't jews

>oh no one of the characters in a call of duty game was a white male
lol

Not him but Joel and snake are the only ones there i would comfortably say dont look jewish.

Lol I love how the GTA 5 dude is in there when one of the main characters is black

At least OP didn't call them well-known, I barely managed to half guess who like 7 of them are, and I am pretty sure I guessed a lot wrong

Go back to neogaf you fucking idiot, video games just need to be video games.

The ones you think are jews are probably just irish if the nose is throwing you off

Silly user, I'm really a cute girl (male)!

:3

>basically not a single blonde dude

WTF

That's probably the biggest cherry-picking list i've seen.
Almost 100% was intended to be a troll.
>Ride to Hell protag
>Watch Dogs protag is fucking Irish, a minority
>they all at least have different face structure/hair/beard etc.
>meanwhile current "diversity" is an older black woman with afro and big earrings
You can seriously fuck off with this bullshit post.
Not to mention white male is the biggest audience for games, no matter you hard you people from Reddit and NeoGAF try to deny.

Im irish and no they dont look irish, not even remotely black irish.

Fuck 1st and 2nd row
Kill 3rd and 4th row
Marry 5th and 6th row

T. Neo gaf fag

Fine, chuck a few blondes in games then so we know its genuinely that you're bored of the same and not just that you hate white people.

replacing any of those with a nigger or a woman won't fix shitty writing and character design
there is less than a handful of characters on that list that are good

...

We need more little girls

Stop playing games with male leads, problem solved.

And you do realize that the majority of gamers are white dudes and that they refuse to play as anything they can't identify with for the most part so this is why all main characters are bland white guys.

Where are the Asian, Hispanic , and middle eastern protagonist

>fuck Chris, Nathan, and Joel
>marry Big Boss
>kill OP

this never happens

Obligatory

Someone post the collage to BTFO this shill

im not a shill you fag i'm just saying that pic never happens. doesn't mean i disagree with it

The ones running the 711 are Indian...the ones robbing the 711 are Mexican.

FUCK

Reminder that Sup Forums crowd suffers from eyesight condition which makes them see black people as horrifying monsters. So you may guess how it shocks and pains them when developers add black people to games.
Every game should have an option for negrophobic people to turn black characters into white one.

Here's your (you) you wanted so badly

>But user, they do. Haven't you seen the ridiculous amounts of tumblr posts that bleed into real world media about how racist the game industry is for having a majority of white, male protagonists?
So, because Tumblrtards exist, as a small minority in the grand scheme of things I'll remind you, diversity and genuine call for it can't?
>I couldn't give less of a shit what the protagonist looks like, that's the point here. Caring so much about the race of a protagonist is racist in itself, but we already knew that those crying out about this are incredibly racist towards white people.
That's bullshit. You guys can't accept the fact that a character can be arbitrarily a PoC just as whites can without there being some kind of hidden agenda to bring down the white man? This is a mentality that attempts to secure whites as the dominant face in media. It's "do what has always been the norm or you're actually the racist!" Nobody has had to justify white characters in the history of vidya, why does one require an explanation to appease you for having a PoC? That's fucked thinking, man. Are there tards who do it simply out of fear of SJW backlash? Sure! But to equate any attempt at diversity as opposition to whites is incredibly childish and defensive. Nobody questions the motives behind having Character X as a white man, but hoops need to jumped through in order to soothe the rage you guys have at the sight of a brown character
>The thing is that those calling for the variation are not the people who buy games, they just want something to complain about. We've seen this happen time and time again.

I'm black, I've always played games, and it's nice to see someone who looks like me sometime in my fav hobby. What's the problem with that? This is literally just a case of boogeyman syndrome.

I mean she is ugly as fuck not to mention a shitty villain

Its a collection of major films reviewers all praising an all black film cast for diversity.

user it's ok to be gay, but you shouldn't give comments on women appearance then

i specifically meant the german, russian, icelander, spaniard, norweigian etc etc being all in one game/movie/show etc never happening but yes the all black casts being "diverse" part does actually happen

Her issue isnt being black or female in itself, she was just an awful addition to the game. A villain who you are forced to lose to, who is more unlikeable than the main villain and then who just says bye at the end and you never get to beat. Its just frustrating like someone slapping you in the face and then running away.

Yes not finding a masculine female attractive is gay

Games are usually made by white men by white male teams in white countries. No-one here would think twice if an african studio with african men produced games with entirely african male protags. Aren't you embarrassed you have to ask us to make your culture for you.

Nobody (Americans) don't want to be play as filthy Japs, illegal immigrants or terrorists.

Itd be cool if they used this diversity business to make a new NBA street game

>mfw Sup Forums is spamming Sup Forums again

Which is saying something because Rafe is also a shit villain

Needs more blonde characters

>This is why we need diversity in gaming.
>someone spent all this time to make the point that predominantly white cultures make media predominantly about themselves

And then you wonder why sjws are the butt of jokes. You wouldn't dare say this to the Chinese or Japanese.
>there's too much whitey!
Racist piece of shit. How does this shit fly?

*made for white men

Yep and if she was white male Sup Forums would sing odes how it's the most badass character ever and literally did nothing wrong

Rafe wasnt really a villain, he put in all the work, legal operations and even hired the drakes but then because they had brotherly emotions and rafe was rich they were entitled to kill his staff and steal his treasure.

i will leave this here so these threads will not need to be created anymore

Nah Rafe was also shit

Do you see anyone spamming this thread with posts about how we need to go 1488 and gas the Jews?

you can kill him and he goes down easy

Really no.

what we need is to let people make the games they want to make. you dont tell a chef how to cook food, or a painter how to paint. dont like it? dont play it

but letho is a badass and he did do nothin wrong

I just don't see why he didn't hire Nathan again

> Telling the authoritarian left to let people do what they want and expecting anything other than lip service

They dont want to play as black people in games. They want YOU to have to play as more black people in games.

It was pretty obvious nathan would just run away with the treasure at the end but more accurately just bad writing.

Video game companies want to expand their audiences, which now predominantly consist of 30 something white males for AAA games. If they won't do this, video game will degenerate in same way anime did, where you can't just mention that you watch japanese cartoons in public anymore because everyone will think you are pedo who watches cartoons about tentacles raping little girls.
