Representation in games

As a Mexican, it's kinda sad that we are only represented as Luchadores, Demon Hunters, Mariachis and Wrestlers

Do you like how is your people portrayed in videogames?

Most southerners are portrayed almost exclusively as dumb hicks. Only exception I can think of off the top of my head is the PC's buddy from Infamous.

Tbf, those are pretty badass things.

If you want representation, make your own video game.

>people from Texas are all cowboys even in current year

>sad that his shithole has positive representation instead of what it really deserves

Australians are barely in games desu.

at least the cowboy is the coolest thing America ever spawned

Don't forget Cartel members. Hell at least you have some cool stuff in there. I'm from the southeast US and you can't find anything in games, movies, or tv that doesn't portray us as the scum of humanity.

>OP mentioned nationality
>americans immediately resort to their state
Why do they do that. You all are americans and that's the end of it.

your post is more ironic than you'd think, the guy who created guacamelee did it specifically to get more mexican representation in video games

Do you think north germans and south germans are the same people? The difference between people of different states is there trust me different race no but it is to some extent important. The closest comparison I can think of for a european is Germany and Austria. Both are Germans but there are quite a bit of differences.

>it's kinda sad that we are only represented as Luchadores, Demon Hunters, Mariachis and Wrestlers
You honestly have it better than 90% of the world. Most of the shitholes on the planet are only associated with terrorism, poverty and rampant criminals. Then there's places that are viewed as the irl bad guys like China and Russia.

he didn't mention nationality though

>muh representayshun
Shut up, fgt.

make your own games puto

>Do you think north germans and south germans are the same people?
Every country has its differences depending on its region, but americans are the only ones, autistic enough to remind you, everytime you encounter one. Other people state their country and that's it, they don't expect to you know every state, province or region of their country, but americans do that, and ironically they expect you to know everything about america, but they know nothing about your country.
>Mexican
>not nationality
What is it then?

He specified his own nationality yes but he didn't specify that the thread itself was about nationality, he just said "your people." The reason America is different is because it's so big and there are so very many and vast regional differences.

Some parts of our country WERE SEPARATE NATIONS. Not to mention our larger states could easily be nations onto themselves. Fuck we had a civil war of the south trying to break from the north. The early colonies honestly did think of themselves as their state being their home nation. No I dont expect you to know all about my country which you clearly dont nor do I give a shit about most of your nations.

Well I am a proud and noble paki.

...so...yeah.

Jodete, como crees que ser un cazador de demonios es algo malo? inb4 esto es carnada.

British and I like being the bad guy

That's my point, he said mexicans as a whole, he considers all mexicans as his people, but you don't.
Many countries had differents kingdoms before their reunification, many countries had civil wars, many countries are as big as america, yet you're the only ones who do that.

I like that, but what I don't like is how that's as far as they'll go when adding Mexican-relates characters.

The entire south of Mexico is a big rainforest and they insist on showing only the desert, I am from the south and as a chilf I always wondered why they always represented my country as a big desert when it has a lot of different ecosystems. Fun to think that Jump Force is one of thr few games to show the southern part of Mexico, hell, one stage is in my state.

>As a Mexican
Nigga I am turkish and we are literally nearly never displayed in any kind. So at least be happy.

stop making mexicans look even worse than they do already

Catalonians,flems,waloons,tartars,basques,bretons,welsh and scots. With special note to welsh and scots. I could go on but thats as far as I can think of off the top of my head.

>implicando que no lo somos

Also you forgot narcos

>mention mexico
>Yea Forums thread becomes a /pol/ thread
maybe next time pal

You're not Mexican.
Stop lying and if you are get off your SJW donkey.
I fucking love it.
If I could wear a sombrero where I live and not stick out I would.
Taco and burritos are delicious. Pinatas are fun as fuck and there is nothing with being portrayed as those things. Fuck off.

its almost like different places have different overall views of their culture and you're the moron not them

The dude started a thread about how his nation is depicted in media. What did anyone think would happen.

Isn't mexican world of the dead stuff pretty popular? You even had a high profile Pixar movie about it.

Dom from Gears of War

im not saying im surprised im saying its retarded

Well how is it even /pol/? I dont see anyone talking about nazis or being ultra right wing I think ive read one post about building a wall. This thread by design is gonna have people talk about stereotypes and how they think their people are portrayed and how they want their people portrayed.

So because i'm a cracker, i'll just go with schizo reps, since i'm crazy like that. Thinking about it, Hellblade is all I can really think of. I guess you'd have Spec Ops to some degree as well, but I haven't beaten that game, so I cant attest personally. I just know the convo around it.

>Luchadores, Demon Hunters, Mariachis and Wrestlers
>sad
bruh

All of those things are badass, OP is a faggot

Shouldnt you be complaining when your people are depicted as drug runners and gardeners not cool shit like demon hunters?

its a Yea Forums thread and half these posts dont mention portrayal in videogames like the op clearly made the thread for. also /pol/ isnt just right wing, dont know why people unironically believe this

Fuck off, falseflagger

You are not even mexican

>some special snowflakes all around the world, somehow justifies all americans being snowflakes
Right...
>missing the point this hard
Don't reply to me ever again.

Germans are usually the nazis so yeah

There's plenty of mexican representation around.

>austrian
Well, the only (maybe) known fact about us is that we spawned the OG nazi, so I guess its fair.
I believe to remember that there was a police character from our SWAT equivalent in some game, but its really mostly nazis.

>That's my point, he said mexicans as a whole, he considers all mexicans as his people, but you don't.
You're right, I don't. I have very little in common with a New Yorker aside from speaking the same general language and sharing a federal government. OP did not say "how do you feel about your nation's representation" he said "your people." I consider US southerners my people because that's the region I am from, so that's what I feel represents me.

You also have to take into account that in American games you will see different regions of America represented while other countries are more often painted with a broad stereotypical brush regardless of regional differences. I don't know why this confuses/bothers you.

>Pissed off that his country is represented by a bunch of cool as fuck things

Have you ever considered it's because the whole world loves that shit? Your country's culture has some of the most iconic and cool concepts out there...so much so that people regularly make media showing them off. I know they're a bit stereotypical at this point but they're some of the best and most positive stereotypes you could ask for. You have it way the fuck better than almost every other country out there.

Then make some games and represent yourself however you want.

I thought he was Italian.

Yeah, even fucking Coco depicts us as still living in the 1800's. It's fucking boring, and they wonder why we don't immediately love their attempts to shill at us.

I'm Jewish. It's illegal to represent us in video games.

>some special snowflakes all around the world, somehow justifies all americans being snowflakes
You can't possibly be this stupid. How do you feel about the UK then? Is the UK one people or do you count English, Irish, and Scottish separately?

Correct me if im wrong but didnt scotland have a referendum about this? And catalonia? But no only Americans have regions that like to think of themselves as separate in some ways. Also funny how our constitution is written in a way to give loads of power to the states weird right?

Ever played Total Overdose kid?
Now Argentina, THAT'S a country with no vidya representation other than "lol we so good at footballz"

Fuck you buddy, cowboys are awesome.

Cowboys are a huge homosexual stereotype.

only to hays such as yourself

>Texan
>not a nationality
Heh, nice try.

Are Portuguese even represented? Just curious

>hays
>horses
Good one.

I'll bite
I bet you're a sjw chicano bitch.

Those are the coolest representations of mexicans and the ones that demonstrate the culture in the most colorful and folkloric way.

If anything it's sad that they don't use those tropes more.

Thank you. I didn't know America was so polarized.

Also, do you think that america is basically a joke country. I say that because, apparently you all identify yourselves with your state. What is the point of America as a country?
I don't care about some cherrypicked cases when your whole country acts like that. Also catalonians and scotish people have more reasons to consider themselves independents than you. Brits were invaders in Scotland and Ireland, they even had their own language, catalonians also have their own language.

Imagine waking up and remembering that you're mexican

Can a Mexican genuinely tell me why Mexican girls are crazy?

And I've heard this is a pretty common thing too for Mexican women to be weird like this

Why are you arguing on how Americans can see themselves when its increasingly obvious you have no knowledge on my nation at all? Is this what its like for Europeans when they talk to Americans?

>a woman will left you if you don't satisfy her
Shocking!!!

>an ancient evil awakens
I think you guys are over represented

Well I'm just your average american so it's usually either scruffy,tall white dudes with no real personality or shit like Armstrong from time to time.
I'm fine with it I guess,I don't really care either way,I just like to play videogames.

Chefs, pizzas and a plumber

Guess the nation...

Aren't dwarves based on jews?

CA

Hey now dwarves are awesome.

As an Italian I can pretend the Roman Empire represents me but in the end representation is all fucking stupid because taking your identity based on the geographical location you were born is utterly stupid. Do you identify with the specific breeds of ants that exist in your hometown? Are the kinds of mold that grow on your rotten food relevant to you? Do you really care about anything other than a fake identity created to justify conscriptions to war?

>Greece
Pretty sure we have way too many representatives in games, from spartans to monsters, not saying it’s bad mind you

That's all I think of when it comes to Mexico.
As much as they might try and push it, Aztec stuff is so far removed from modern Mexico to me that it might as well be a different race.

Are you Italian or do you just live in italy?

Jews are awesome too.

Yet no one remembers those and only thinks of feminist-friendly RDR2 LOL

crash bandicoot?

They're fictional characters, mate. They don't represent shit

Why does Yea Forums gets mad when trannies make their own videogames then?

East asians have literally 0 representation as we're all currently jerking off to mobile games and children's TV shows

That's cultural appropriation. Create your own fantasy archetypes, you fucking homo.

Plenty of games with demons and rats

>Not american marines
>Not space marines
>Not fighter pilots
>Not patriotic rebels

Not him, and not a spic, but I think it's pretty lame that mexico usually only gets represented by modern day mexican shit and not their historical civilizations how fucking lame would it be if instead of greek and roman shit media just had gyros and fat greasy people? It'd suck right?

We need more proper Aztec and Maya shit, and not just unga bunga sacrifices in huts in jungls. Show the actual cities with the paint and murals still on them, bustling marketplaces, etc.

read all the rad shit being described by this user here , he has like 20 posts of shit about aztec political scheming and coups and crazy circular aquaducts and shit

Media is too lazy to actually do research. In America, I've seen people who confuse Spaniard and Mexican culture. They're that blind.

You're not aztec, rapebaby.

I can't think of a game with Ecuadorian representation.

I kinda agree with OP, I'd like to see some other takes for Mexicans. Albeit Demon Hunter is a great role. I do have a big issue though with amecican characters mixing in Mexican words with English dialogue.

Let me rephrase that
Mexicans mixing in Mexican words in English dialogue
Ie) "well well well if it isn't the world's biggest pendejo!"

NO

Okay pal.

This triggers me so much, it's so damn grating.

Op es joto

When one nationality someone celebrates another's culture they celebrate what makes that culture unique and the unique aspects that go along with it (the non-negative ones), not what makes them the same. Some call it racist but really they just want to be treated the same. But equality is not a celebration of culture.
