If it was a film, or book, or song, or theater play, noone would complain about the setting

So… if a black man plays a video game where he shoots white people, it’s not considered racist at all, in any way, what-so-ever, right?

black people are some of the most racist people in the world, we don’t like anyone included ourselves so who gives a fuck if we shoot or get shot at in video games?

only sensitive pricks would be offended by this or RE5

How is it racist either way? Insensitive….maybe? But racist? I mean what major city could you set the game in and black people wouldn’t be in it? Hell if you set the game in any major US city and no black people were in it that would be racist.

Let’s leave the term ‘racist’ for things that are truly racist. A videogame with a white guy in black face or a black character shuckin’ and jivin’……that’s racist. A game set in a black or urban community with zombies…..not remotely racist. Just like RE5 how the hell you gonna have zombies in an African village and most of them NOT be black? People are going overboard with this racist shit.

I see his point, but I dont even think Valve thought about it like that.

This just reminds me of the whole Resident Evil 5 controversy
