Back to your discord you subhuman trannys.

So IGN is full blatant SJW now? That's crazy. It seems like every gaming media outlet is collapsing.

The most memorable game characters are from 30 years ago.

This, it’s our time whiteys, we gonna fiddle more KANGZ and afro QUEENS in games.

I want to make a game where the camera is first person and before you begin you're given the options to be whatever the fuck you want, but there's no model for the character and none of the choices you take to make your character matter at all for the game story. That way, I'd be able to have all those fuckers off my back

Fucking look at his post and tell me you want to share a board with those people. The quality of this board has gone downhill ever since the smartphone boom started, banevasion is at an all time high to the point where several mobile ISPs get fucking range banned because it's unbearable for almost any board to have mobile fags sitting here.

lmao seething

SJW bullshit aside, Days Gone looks like generic cinematic experience garbage.

If that were the case they would've stoped with this shit 3 years ago. They'll ride it to the very end until they lose their job and end up below a bridge.

They won't stop even if he/she/it gets fired. They'll continue to libtard virtue signal to the end and there is nothing virtuous about the left because the left is all about hating Whites, the rich, while being lazy and degenerate.

They don't hold true virtues. The virtues of God.

The guy does look pretty generic and forgettable though. Seriously he looks like one of those random generated player models you'd sometimes get in a multiplayer survival game.

Nah, Lee dying was pretty powerful. Having Clem dead meant the quest made no sense

My god the white fragility in this thread. Get yourself educated on hundreds of years of racism. Getting defensive about this = probably somewhat racist, whether you’re conscience of it or not.

The author ain’t wrong- it’s a FACT that the majority of protagonists in gaming history are a straight, white male bill. Does that make them all boring and generic, no...but this game in particular- generic game looks generic for a multitude of reason besides the race of the lead.

Its never comming out my man.

funny how you don't post this in giant bomb threads

We live in an age were being white is almost a crime.

Meanwhile blacks are 13% of the population but commit over 50% of the crimes.

Dang I'm going to have to block so many people on this. I half feel like debating them.

It is cliche to have white men protagonists. Video games are almost the only medium where this keeps happening. Granted Black Panther and Captain Marvel get tons of flack at least we see diversity more often in that sphere. Novels - there are a plethora of books by non-white male authors that incredibly well done and you could go for months or even years and never read a white male author again. TV shows - there are many shows that are trying this as well. Some shows are abroad like Kingdom but some are more Western like Black Earth Rising but they very well made.

However, video games due to how many white men feel as if they're the only ones who have a say on it get insanely upset.

Historically you have to look at how many white men have been heroes or protagonists compared to every other ethnicity for men and to any women period. Now there are tons of non-white men around the world and this is 2019 so yes it stale white bread at this point. I applaud any game that moves forward from the Blerd character that is Marcus in Watch Dogs 2 to Lifeline and Bangalore in Apex Legends to Aloy's no romance steadfast lady of Horizon Zero Dawn. The only time in recent games I genuinely enjoyed being a white dude was Arthur Morgan because he was pro Black, Native-American, and women unless they were assholes. And most aren't.

Anyways that's my piece on it. And we'll see how much I feel like arguing

Hi everyone, I'm the writer of that article. I've been browsing Yea Forums since I published it and without fail, you incels are already on your 6th or 7th thread about this.

Excuse me? You can't be racist towards WHITE MALE.

Why are all white males so racist?

Admittedly the main character looks incredibly generic, white-boi or not

Having the baseball cap really tops it off

You won't get much out of that "argument" considering it's purely the opinion of a sheltered faggot that consumes too much western media.

Here's a hint - be less of a tasteless faggot and broaden your horizons. You'll find there's plenty out there in the world to satisfy your "REEEEE MUH WHITE PEOPLE" mentality.

>just let journalists insult a race
>just let journalists judge games with race and gender

Do you even realize the humongous amount of posts made from a phone that you don't recognize as such and probably reply to saying "based" or shit like that?
A retard is a retard, doesn't matter what device he's posting from, hell, you're on a computer and you made the most retarded post in the whole thread, so yeah.

I don't blame them. Game protagonists are all very samey. Especially those set in the real world. At least Geralt has yellow eyes and white hair.

Did you guys know the wage gap is a myth?

>some random news website: You should watch your carbohydrate and processed meat intake

IGN's not wrong. Gruff white guy with, and I honestly don't know a fucking thing about the game but knowing the usual AAA boilerplate, obligatory tragic past and probably at least one immediate family member killed on-screen early on, and probably reacts to surprise and danger with the usual almost sarcastic "oh crap" or overly theatrical screaming that does nothing to affect how he performs in gameplay was already basically phoning it in, in gen 7.

It’s ok, Nintendo fans already made their choice, console wars over race, big review sites over anyone else’s opinions.

I mean, if they don’t defend IGN now, the 97 score stops having weight.

It's very likely that he agrees with or is highly influenced by her since they're married, yes.

Are you telling me he has different world views from his wife?

so you're telling us that his wife wrote it.

Ape Out looks fun

It's not inherently wrong, just a major red flag due when it comes to AAA titles. This is due to writers AAA companies seems to have entirely replaced by people who write characters to be stereotypes on par with Wyatt Mann comics.

What’s wrong? Don’t you agree racists should get doxxed and hopefully lose their jobs?

Oh right I forgot that you guys were SJWs

That is very surface-level information he put in a link in the article itself, if they're that crazy in public then imagine their private beliefs.

Games journalists have been a joke before you were born. Acting like they should be taken seriously makes them appear to be more of a valid platform than they really are.

You keep trying to force this despite him very obviously being one of -those- people, he has a tweet obsessing over identity politics pretty much every day, his wife is certainly not unrelated to his mental illness.

getting called a tranny means I won right?

>>>r/thedonald

>he has a tweet obsessing over identity politics pretty much every day
So he's Yea Forums?

Yeah. I was really close to replying to done contents until I saw how many of them are so focused on the "gruff white male" thing. It just isn't worth it. Cole McGrath from InFamous bores me. I don't give a shit about Geralt from The Witcher. Or Marcus Fenix from Gears of War. Or Jack Cooper from Titanfall 2. Nathan Drake and Arthur Morgan have a lot more personality but I still can't relate. I still appreciate them. So when I look at a game like Days Gone, it's hard not to assume, initially, that the protagonist won't be just as flavorless.

Tell me, how his wife with whom he must to share world views to live together - unrelated.

Did he write that? No, of course not, He went out of his way and made it about him being a white guy. Not a boring dude who happens to be white for some reason.
Hell, I take it you're way too young to remember the plague that militery protags were in the past, where every game had the same fucking military haircut and brush character and you could swap them from one game to the other without noticing the difference. And people complained about them being boring, not their fucking skincolo ,which seems to be the only stupid thing you seem to care about.

kotaku.com/days-gone-is-one-aaa-ass-video-game-1833092908
They say they like the gruff white male protagonist. The thing is that this type of character is a typical shooter protagonist, but just a step above the less hairy version.

And yes, shit like this is largely said to stir up controversy because boring opinions regarding character design don't get clicks like "*sigh* do we REALLY need another cis straight white male??"

Remember when you'd see Yea Forums threads with a picture like this with something along the lines of "Western game character design" in the OP?

Journalists are fanning the flames and have the biggest platform like you said, regular people aren't the ones starting this, the journalist are, people fire back because of the lies being spread constantly, not because they want to push an agenda. Look at TLJ, journalists and Twitter quickly jumped on the fans are sexists or bigots, etc because the movie was a mess, and they pointed out the problems of the film and the lies being spread. Stuff like this is a reaction of this looney reality they created.

Nope, the writer really believes in typical californian "progressiveness" and his wife is a maniac that wants white cis males exterminated.

Good. I hope they fucking starve under there.

you're right. I decided to read and he actually says he likes him. whaddaya know. what's the problem again? you don't like the word white?

>the journalist are, people fire back because of the lies being spread constantly
If you think people are seriously going to "fire back" because an IGN article complained about bland gruff white male protagonists in video games have gotten stale and overused, you are nuts. And I don't even know what your solution is here - do you want the guy to apologize? To take down the article? Sounds like SJW tactics.

>how to generate discussion a. k. a. clicks

ya dude i'm sure it's journos who post threads like this all the time

boy how did i ever survive as a kid with unrelatable role models like banjo kazooie, spyro, and crash bandicoot?

Thing is.
He was payed to write positive article about upcoming sony game. But he inserted his own political views into it. He must push the narrative you know.

Except no one was defending the guy to begin with. Since blacks are so against race mattering (which ironically does to them since they're entire victim complex is based on race), why does it have to be mentioned that this guy is white or that he's white? He could have just said generic and the point would ahve come across just fine, but don't act like the way he said 'white male' can't be construed as carrying negative connotations.

Saying "sexists are mad about TLJ" isn't saying all fans are sexist or that the only way you can not like TLJ is to be sexist. I've seen this conversation play out and it ends with zero credible sources, just the feeling people get.

Damn I actually gave that shit a view but the "white male gruff protag" line really came out of fucking nowhere then right after he admits that the characters/plots were interesting enough to warrant a follow up

I remember when EVERYONE was tired of the "bald white space marine man" protagonist. Suddenly then complaining about it aligned you with leftist politics (/pol/'s tribalism tactics) and now people get outraged if you don't like them.

It was a tired trope 8 years ago. It's even more tired today. It is only a recent trend to be antagonistic towards ideas of diversity becuase the resurgence of certain unmentionable groups.

It's just your usual painfully generic third person open world shooter with vehicles and perks

>the most incompetent videogame review site now starts to hire literal SJW

Who would have seen that coming

Yeah he does if his constant retweeting about black history month and even crazier wife are any indications.

you're not allowed to criticize (even fictional) white people in any way

I'd like to hear what a person of color thinks about it, there are too many opinions from white males in the industry.

Part of that initial bald trend was because of how much easier it was to do compared to making good looking hair, but that's honestly an excuse to handwave low effort protagonists. Yea Forums was shitting on this game's bland protag long before this IGN article.

Man, I don't even know who's being an ironic shitposter anymore.

Even jj jumped on the bandwagon
indiewire.com/2018/02/jj-abrams-star-wars-last-jedi-women-1201929593/

Hatred wasn't that great, Kingdom Come was alright, and FFXV was bad. Apex is good though.

It WAS a tired trope, it isn't anymore and not for the right reasons but because people are trying to push for anti-white propaganda rather than making interesting characters.

Why are you making stuff up to defend an IGN reviewer?

Are you mentally ill?

You obviously didn't pay attention to Disney itself pushing for the muh soggy knees narrative, hollywood somehow manages to be worse than games when it comes to progreshittery.

If he made this comment like 8 or 7 years ago, nobody would have batted an eye. Because it's true, most shooting game protagonists use the same fucking archetype and have similar designs

Nice history revisionism, you shill faggots really like using this tactic

I'm glad Japan weeb games don't give a fuck about this retards
Reviewer seems like a cuck. Protagonist seems fine. That statement was about "Griff white males" was unnecessary. Generic protagonist would be enough. Besides we get alot of generic female protagonist now too but no mainstream journos say anything about that do they

Better than another battle royale or hero battle arena

It isn't 8 years ago, anti-white propaganda and nigger protagonists are standard now.

It's not. Being supportive of black history month during black history month doesn't mean you hate white people. At worst it's white guilt and virtue signalling.

Saying he hates white males and wants to exterminate them is schizophrenia and a paranoid delusion.

Well not today they don’t

Just pushing his agenda

That E3 with the THREE same sassy afro black woman in three different games was fucking hilarious and obviously deserved getting shitposted about, what is your point? Yea Forums never complained about actually good black characters that are not just obviously there for the sake of "diversity".

There is nothing wrong with a white male character just like there is nothing wrong with a black female character. Now shut the fuck up you far left faggots.

it's not. it's just really boring.

name 5 good shooting game protags this gen

Different time, different way of thinking, just like how most people didn't complain about female characters back then, put a strong female character wasn't done to get brownie points in look at Cod or medal of honor, they had playable women in those games.

This guy's comment about a white protagonist is a product of this decade, not when generic bald space marines where overused.

>What if someone said “why is the protagonist another angry black man”?
if the generic angry black man happened so often that gamers get tired of it and make fun of the covers then yeah, it would make sense.

what did you think the answer to your question was?

How else should he act then? What kind of attitude is appropriate for the situation?

Abrams is unbothered by the recent backlash to the diversity of “Star Wars: The Last Jedi.” Asked by IndieWire about pushback from “Star Wars” fans who decried Rian Johnson’s film for its focus on more female-centric stories (bolstered by the edition of franchise newbies like Laura Dern and Kelly Marie Tran), Abrams was clear: “Their problem isn’t ‘Star Wars,’ their problem is being threatened.”
They were talking about the backlash against the diversity specifically. Did you read it?

You got any sources? This is like when Yea Forums insisted Zoe slept for reviews despite never seeing the reviews themselves.

Yes and no. The difference between the left and right is the left dont care if the thing they are driving crashes and burns. The right will usually adjust accordingly to the market and move towards the center.

The real irony is that unlike in the past its now the left that has become completeley intolerant of anything or anyone not like them.

No but it's typically used by feminist leaning people and in liberal circles as it comes from a story about a man controlling a woman through lies. It's like how "redpill" comes from a super diverse and progressive film made by trannies and Pepe is from a liberal hippie comic.

It's a californian problem, women and niggers aren't any more sane when it comes to politics.

Hey mang at least the comments on their page are wholly against them for it. I'm amazed they even let comments up still.

Dude, it's all the same thing. It doesnt matter if he believes it or not. IGN or whatever will still push it because triggers bring eyeballs, re-tweets and re-shares. People are literally hard wired to do it.

She isn't saying he says white males are nazis that shouldn't be in videogames.

So its fine if somebody makes racial bait against whites for clicks but what would happen if somebody targeted minorities?

>It doesnt matter if he believes it or not
It very much does, no person would ever push for racial propaganda in a site about videogames just for clicks if they weren't personally engaged in such propaganda.

Gruff McMilitary was always just a poor imitation of the Doomguy. If you're going to have a character who unapologetically shreds every living thing in their path you might as well go all the way and make him a psychopath. At least that's more fun

Calling out a protagonist for being black would generate 100x more clicks, why don't they do that?

Maybe in the next game he'll have a mohawk. Now that would really shake things up!

>IGN or whatever will still push it
You are retard.
It is preview article about upcoming big game. It doesn't have clickbait title and doesn't need to be it. Because - It is preview article about upcoming big game.
But author still inserted his agenda into it.

because there are no black protagonists in vidya

Regardless of which gender is underpaid, this wouldn't be such a frequent issue if STEM Majors werent all pushovers over the chance to get their "dream job"

>Fuck generic bimbo white girl
Me first.

/thread

That's actually a good point. The entire southern half of that state is completely diseased.

Gee you wonder why there's white privilege? Yes there's obvious black issues, but even recognizing that helps you recognize what privilege is.

fuck off back to resetera

...like how are you going to fight it when the online media can literally make more money by stirring left-wing outrage.

You are not going to be able to drown it out on the web because its not economically feasable for web outlets to let you do it. Really the only weapon you have is to not by end-products that push all the political bullshit.

>IGN or whatever will still push it because triggers bring eyeballs
If it was just cynical marketing it wouldn't be so politically unidirectional. Face the truth: they do it because they're all Bay area Californians who all unironically believe what they're spouting.

White privilege 100% does not exist.

Dishonored DOTO, TWD, prototype 2, just off the top of my head.

White privilege isn't real. Do you want to know what is actual privilege? Affirmative Action and the Rooney Rule in the NFL. Written and legal examples of privilege.

so ign hates white people? that's not a smart thing to do.

You are a fucking tool if you don't think that little snippet wasn't by design.

It's the standard californian fare, NOT hating white males would get them blacklisted from all industries there.

It was intentional, but only because author is leftist who hates DRUMPF and white men.

Did he marry an anti-white lunatic and constantly talked about "white nazis" on twitter just to create this persona and put that little snippet there for clicks or does he truly believe what he's saying? What's more likely?

I think they're trying to reverse psych us into buying this walking simulator, not happening though

Yes, the writer designed the phrase to put express the vile contempt he has for whites

We generally archive the site so they don't get clickthrough traffic, but it's nice to know you're new here.

Yeah lots of archives in this thread, people aren't directly linking to stuff at all

Imagine if they said that about a black or Muslim protagonist (ye, I know Islam is a religion not a race)

But then again, these people believe that white people are SO powerful that only they allow what happens, so anything said against is incapable of being racist due to this power.

What a bunch of self castrated cucks

That is why I stated the absolute irony of the fact that the left has now become the side of intolerance.

You cannot be neutral. You are either with them or you are blacklisted

Fuck no, it's just a more polished State of Decay.

This whole reply chain doesn't make sense.

That is the only part that's true the rest you made up, faggot

Nah, this one looks much better

You are still not getting it. He may have vile contempt for whites. But he has a job because vile contempt for whites is what sells online.

>But he has a job because vile contempt for whites is what sells online.

thousands of online media layoffs in the last month say otherwise

Don't use your white privilege to impose your opinions on me

Yes we know corporate-enforced anti-white propaganda is real, truly neutral people that don't hate whites simply don't mention it at all to survive in the industry but JR is clearly not the case.

What part doesn't make sense?

Stop projecting 2016 faggot

>gafugees somehow trying to rewrite history and pretend that Yea Forums made fun of generic protagonists because Yea Forums was anti-white
what the fuck are you even trying to do

>vile contempt for whites is what sells online.
It is actually not.

Yea Forums is anti west

Being anti-generic shooter protagonist isn't being anti-white.

Yes, that's the point. Tell that to the trannies here.

left is too dumb and lazy to fix capitalism so they're wasting time on meaningless shit like political correctness and gender politics. and they will fail at that.

IGN isn't saying it hates white people.
You won't get blacklisted for not hating white males.
The last post and how it relates to the post it replies to and the baseless grandstanding. It's like watching paranoid schizoids converse.

If he was black but exactly the same character, would it still be generic?

Online media and clickbait articles are not always the same thing.

Some of these left wing morons actially think it's think its their retarded agenda that sells. When its actually the outrage that sells.

When they mistankly make a long form video/story about how wonderful and beutiful it is to have to guys sucking each others dicks that is when they go out of business. Nobody wants to see that shit and nobody gives a fuck.

I think they're just following the logic of OP and mocking it.

>IGN isn't saying it hates white people.
Read the thread, it clearly is saying that.

>You won't get blacklisted for not hating white males.
You won't get blacklisted for hating white males but will get blacklisted for hating non-whites or women, see the unbalance here?

Think again, retard.

How many gruff black shooter protagonists are there?

>Read the thread, it clearly is saying that.
You're nuts, my man

yep, and the to tell you the truth. would make the game less marketable

I really miss Jon Stewart and Patrice O'Neal

Not enough!

It's obvious the subject is too subtle for you to grasp. Maybe when you are older kid.

Gaslighting won't work bud

>he thinks they didn't just want more protags with big titties or weird anime shit

>code white

I think your misconceptions could be cleared up by helping you recognize the difference between "ugh another white male protagonist" and "ugh a black female protagonist". One is a response to something normalized, something we've seen before, know it work, and is already established to be safe and marketable and the other is rarely seen in the industry. Nevermind the real world historical discrimination and prejudice that exists towards both blacks and women.

Obvious tourists

We already know the writer is an anti-white lunatic and this discussion was already closed, at least try reading the thread before trying to argue retarded tranny.

Too subtle? Are you saying they're commiting micriaggressions by pointing out how common gruff white males with guns are?

>We already know the writer is an anti-white lunatic and this discussion was already closed
Man you guys really are SJWs, huh. You even did the cliche "HE AGREES WITH ME HE'S A TRANNY" to the guy

Do you want the IGN writer fired?

You're ticking all boxes here , are you even trying?

All I'm seeing is that I'm supposed to believe he's an anti-white lunatic because his wife is a liberal. It doesn't make sense and uses the same shitty logic that can be used to characterize everyone on Yea Forums as nazi pedo bronies.

So that's a yes?

It means you are leftists retard.

You can't even form a coherent sentence.

>complicit in the injustices women face in the work place

you mean the injustice in how millennial women are over-employed and earn more than their male peers in the workplace?

Do you think an user posting here saying they don't like "that nigger obama" means he isn't racist? How is that different from a person constantly posting about those damn white male nazis on his personal twitter?

what do you know, rightards reject rationality for a combination of wishful thinking and outright fabrication.

What are you even saying?

What is it you want from this whole thing? An apology? A retraction? A firing? Because all this noise is doing is just generating traffic for the article.

I thought that Yea Forums shitposting about race was all just goofing off. Are you saying everyone on Yea Forums is being serious and that people here are legitimately racist and sexist?

Everyone sane wants political propaganda out of VIDEOGAME NEWS OUTLETS, but you are ok with it because you agree with it which makes you glow really hard and show how biased you are.
