So I got hired by a game studio a few months ago to work on a game. It seemed cool at first, but I have my doubts now. It's supposed to be a third person shooter/brawler hybrid, with guns, and hand to hand/weapon melee combat. So far it's fun and fast and responsive in tests and the people we let test it like it a ton. But there's some problems...
-the artstyle is too realistic, it looks similar to the Resident Evil games, which were ruined by becoming increasingly realistic looking. I wanted it to be a style similar to something like Overwatch or Fortnite, as that ages way better and makes gameplay look and feel more fun than realistic visuals do.
-I had an idea for a character, she was supposed to be a Black woman; a female assassin with brown skin and very Black features, short kinky hair too(think Lupita Nyong'o from Black Panther). She was also going to wear more traditional african themed clothing, particularly the colors of African Unity(Black, Red, and Green). She was also going to have a thicc body, as a way of celebrating different body types of women, particularly African American body types that Black men like myself find attractive(picture a body like Nicki Minaj in her Anaconda video). But they changed her to some half black woman with fucking white hair and a generic "tacticool" leather bodysuit instead, she basically just looks like a biker ninja instead of my unique and African styled design. Her suit has arabic looking influences too like the trim, and none of the African stuff I wanted. They also changed her body type too, now she's "slim" and "athletic" instead of what I intended, another slap in the face.
Pic related, the redesign of the character pretty much just looks like Halle Berry with white hair. I'm so fucking sick of seeing blatant mixed women being passed off as fucking Black, bad enough it happens in movie and tv, but games too? Fuck this shit. So much for games being more progressive.
Climb up the ladder before you think you can make any decision in a company. Respect your superiors and your seniors.
Also how many times have you posted this?
Jason King
Not only did this not happen, it not happened so hard it happened in an alternate timeline just to spite you for making shit up. Bitch.
Leo Foster
I'm talking about being actual progressive, not fake progressive. My design got rejected so they could replace it with some watered down "more acceptable" biracial character. I'm a black man btw, I know how this shit goes. people will diss an actual Black woman like this then fawn over the Halle Berrys of the world because they hate Blackness.
I ain't gotta respect shit. Respect is earned. And you lose my respect when you disrespect Blackness.
Brandon Moore
nigger
Andrew Clark
I agree OP. It's the problem I have with Lisa in DOA. She clearly was their way of making a Black woman without having to make her look Black. Fuck Lisa, and fuck Halle Berry.
You think that word hurts me? Faggot. You wouldn't dare say that shit offline to a Black man in person, because you know you'd get your fucking ass beat. Keep being a pussy.

Niggers don't deserve respect; enjoy the breadline, Jamal

Then move on. What have you done to earn their respect as the people who are paying your salary?
Zachary Hill
>You wouldn't dare say that shit offline to a Black man in person Lmao what am i, a prison guard? Where would i even see one of you
Thomas Myers
That is not an attractive woman.
Dominic Cooper
you posted this thread 5 times
Hunter Mitchell
Maybe not to you, but blacks, women, and minorities are the ones who actually PAY for video games, and i guarantee they'd find this design relatable, compelling, and inspirational
Adam Robinson
How is this woman ugly? How is Halle Berry magically so much better?
I think I've already seen a thread with a similar story several times. Either you are really constantly getting kicked out of different game studios because of your retarded "black" ideas or just shitposting.
Camden Scott
Us Black men are everywhere. In the suburbs. In the corporate world. Working as doctors, lawyers, bankers, businessmen. Wake the fuck up.
Jace Powell
Then show that data to your boss.
Gavin Williams
Animal lips and nappy hair. Halle Barre is ugly, too
Dominic Robinson

Elijah Walker

Hudson Rivera
>Us Black men are everywhere. Maybe 1% of you get that kind of coverage. 50% of you are in prison and the rest are pushing brooms or selling drugs
Henry Bell
poor niggers are delusional kind of makes me feel sorry for them
Isaiah Gonzalez
uhhh, no one else likes nappy stanky big lipped black women except for black men, and even that's debatable. I think the only one's who like black women are fetishists.
Jonathan Torres
THIS IS A BOT POST WE HAD THAT THREAD YESTERDAY AND THE DAY BEFORE AND IT'S BEEN LIKE THAT FOR WEEKS AND YOU FUCKS STILL DON'T GET THAT.
Lucas Long
>how is this woman ugly This is joke yes?
Thomas Peterson
Racism is a good thing.
Adam Mitchell
ooga booga ooo ooo eee aaaa aaaa bix nood
Brandon Rivera
Halle Berry is what gets pushed on us though. Now why do you think that is?
Mason Jenkins
that looks like a man in drag
Logan Garcia
Racism is like anal sex. It exists but as a marked social taboo.
Thanks for embodying the stereotype of black males being overly aggressive and violent nigger
Camden Gutierrez
Wait isn't Pepe black though?
Ethan Allen
She was recommended by a focus group in Israel
Noah Reyes
no, he is green silly
Jaxson Scott
Thanks for embodying the stereotypes of white guys being pussy ass beta BITCHES. Faggot. That's why yall like these fucking watered down biracial bitches, you can't handle a Black woman.
Ian Collins
If she had shorter hair she'd be indistinguishable from a man
Kevin Jackson
Nigger
Ryder Bell
>you're a faggot for not fetishizing bestiality Hot take, Moishe
Luis Robinson
My great great grandfather handled black women just fine
Show data to your boss, of all places Yea Forums is the worst to have this kind of discussion. Also get lots of reference, magazine and trending black models.
No black man who is a doctor would write like a stereotypical trash nigger, kinda like you are right now.
Jace Nguyen
White women aint shit, and the same goes for these half breed ass watered down mixed bitches you white dudes love so much and keep pushing on us Black men.
>you can't handle a Black woman. Why would I want to handle some loud obnouxious shit coloured whore, let alone be anywhere near one
Cooper Bennett
>keep pushing on us Black men. Stop consuming white media, it's not being made for you
Joseph Reyes
Nilin was mixed, trash. Bitch looks like Halle Berry, sick of fucking Halle Berry looking bitches. White people stay acting like she the best looking Black woman that ever lived, she don't hold a candle to real Black women like Lupita.
Yes, why can't an assassin have a thicc body? What, she gotta be some stick insect like your precious asian game characters?
We speak however we want, especially if we're not some lame that tries to be white, and sticks to our roots. You can speak ebonics and be educated too, you fuckin racist toothless redneck.
Carson Rivera
Is there historical context that would make that kind of clothing appropriate for her role? It doesn't sound very practical for an assassin.
>Black men like myself This feels like bait but against my better judgement I will engage. You don't speak on behalf of all Black men and further more your only justification for her body type was for sexual objectification. You're as bad as the racists.
Daniel Hernandez
>shit coloured
White women are the color of cave beasts like albino salamanders and shit. And yall stay wanting to have darker skin. Chocolate>>>>>>raw pork.
Nathaniel Cox
>You can speak ebonics and be educated too educated in what, black studys, african history? LMAO
Gavin Baker
>conflating neanderthal with caveman >not realizing homo sapiens were cavemen too >not realizing that the interplay of dna gave the resulting offspring a heavy advantage over pureblood kangz Unsurprisingly room temperature iq. Your evolutionary line stagnated millennia ago
Anthony Kelly
I remember this thread, except that OP had Ada instead.
>Yes, why can't an assassin have a thicc body? What, she gotta be some stick insect like your precious asian game characters? I know you are a dumb nigger but surely you realize that being slim gives you a natural advantage when it comes to sneaking and being mobile, something an assassin has great use for. You have a harder time being sneaky if you sound like a gundam mech every time you walk.
Aiden Watson
>Is there historical context that would make that kind of clothing appropriate for her role? It doesn't sound very practical for an assassin.
Black Panther made it work. Also more creative than "tacticool" black clothing, which also has ties to groups known for either white supremacy, or generally being dangerous to Black people(ie. militarized white guys that think wearing edgy black military gear and black shades makes them badass)
Why faggots care so much about race ? We all know organics are weak and pathetic creatures compared to machines. Remember to join you local machine cult.
black people look like someone took a poop and they rubbed it all over their skin, you people look disgusting
Adam Stewart
>why can't an assassin have a thicc body Probably because she'd make more noise, have a harder time fitting into small spaces and generally be easier for anyone to notice than a normal sized human without being a morbidly obese sheboon who would likely lose most of her feet due to uncontrolled diabetes by her forties?
Thomas Wilson
Okay, where did you steal this from
Nathaniel Harris
You're white. Stop pretending. Even the way you type screams 'sheltered shitposting kid.' You still have over half of summer vacation left, don't waste it shitposting.
Thomas Adams

You mean studies, you dumb fuckin cracker. No wonder chinese people laugh at yall stupid asses.

You'd smell her coming a mile away. that's how she kills you
