Rutibex posted:you forgot "native american wearing feathers and head dress" drat, I got all excited and read the entire castlist again. As a native american, I'll main any native I see in any game that has them, representation feels amazing even if it's clumsy at times. Basically, give me the option to play Joe Medicine Crow https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_Medicine_Crow . Wikipedia posted:After spending the latter half of 1942 working in the naval ship yards in Bremerton, Washington, Medicine Crow joined the U.S. Army in 1943. He became a scout in the 103rd Infantry Division, and fought in World War II. Whenever he went into battle, he wore his war paint (two red stripes on his arms) beneath his uniform and a sacred yellow painted eagle feather, provided by a "sundance" medicine man, beneath his helmet.

Chomp8645 posted:Basically you get one character per identifiable stereotype of a people/place. It has absolutely nothing to do with real population makeup. honestly i'm just glad they haven't made a hawaiian character because they'd just make him either Iz or The Rock and neither of those are even positive caricatures

Pretty sure they'd have gotten The Rock to voice him if they could afford it

a lot of video game character diversity just seems to be different american minorities, you don't get to play as many native asian or africans or middle easterns in a modern setting at all, it all just seems to be america doing its culture war all over video games

We've actually backslid from Captain Planet where ironically each team member was from the ethnic majority of their country of origin. Nowadays it's Burger King Kids Club or you're Hitler.Colonel Cancer posted:No new yorker either. Ey I'm wokin here. Twelve Batmans posted:And where's the construction worker?! Team Fortress 2 is ahead of the curve! Away all Goats posted:It really was. Though I've met more than one person who thought Ryu was white. Most culture warriors consider Japanese to be honorary whites. Funny thing is, Ryu is the only specifically nonwhite human in Smash Bros, in that he has a declared nationality and isn't from a fantasy land.

I mean, are the all that many white characters that meet the rest of that criteria? It's a game about a giant, fat crocodile man, a bird man, a lady in power armor, and an electric rodent punching the crap out of each other.

Do Italians count as white? Because I'll just fuckin do an Italian accent at any moment for any reason and I'd hate to briefly think it's racist before doing it anyway
