People are sensitive because it happened not so long ago...and overall its not as big a deal as violence in video games is anyway. I can see their argument, i mean we wouldn't play a game where a German guy went and shot Jewish people, but this is just set in Africa, and therefor the inhabitants are *shock* AFRICAN...though, i don't think that marvel is gonna be all like, oh noes, we weren't offensive but everyone thought we were, lets go not make that game.... Honestly, it think its more zombiest than racist...

also i would like to kudos fasty on his last two comments :3

and to dante ( sorry too lazy to go and quote ^.^ )

i agree, i don't think the game is blatantly racist,
real African's hate African Americans...huh...jealousy is an ugly thing /stereotypical America is best citizenship

and i have to ask you, why the hell did you even mention japan??

Hey guys you do know it's not set in Africa right.
I forgot where it was, but I remember it's not in Africa.

Also, there seems to be more than just blacks, so this is a pointless discussion.

1, no

2 real Africans hate African Americans for this reason (plus they're all former slaves)

3, we all know Japan is a bunch of xenophones so this isn't that a big deal

Good going assuming that the people of a certain race would all act in a certain way. That's stereotyping right there.

Also, ring ring ring ring ring ring ring, Xenophone.

Man, you guys are all so... heartless! This game is so racist that I could gouge my eyes out just because of the shame this game brings to the white... Can't you see it..!?

That's what I would say if I wasn't using my brains to think instead of spontaneous urges to flame something. Of course there is a clear line before something becomes racism, and this doesn't cross it, nuh-huh. Not in the least bit.

I agree with whoever once said something between the lines "Equal treatment does not equal special treatment". Hell, I think RE5 is racist because there are no white zombies!!
Might be wrong on that one, but you get my point, right?

Alright, I'm sure many of you have already heard and may already have an opinion relating to the "racism" in Resident Evil 5, being that the main character is a white man slaughtering Africans. Now, I want to hear your opinions on this all.

Personally, I don't see it at all. If you look at it from the perspective of a white man killing a lot of black people, then maybe yes, but if you look at a super glue in the right perspective, it looks like a deadly deadly weapon. The game is set in Africa, so it makes sense for you to fight infected Africans, just like how it made sense for a Spanish village to have Spanish people as the infected.

Really, the idea just stinks of hyper sensitivity over the whole thing.


Well howcome we never get to be a Black guy slaughtering infected Italians or British people...OR white Americans...Huh? Huh? huhhuhhuhhuhhuhhuhhuh?

...

lol controversy is fun.

No, and yes, this is Hypersensitivity.

Don't complain when we shoot black people, after we've shot white, spanish and everything else.

Hell, I guess GTA 4 is racist too, you can shoot everyone there.
