This topic is about all the grumblings about the so called racist content in Resident Evil 5, I just want to let you know up front that I am not racist and I see the ficiton and story in this game and I got African American friends and family members.
I think it looks very cool, its just fiction and its a story, it kinda looks like black hawk down but set in RE and made up. I have Black friends and black family members through cousins and interracial relationships and they all think the trailer looks awesome because they understand its just a game. If you read that GS news report it had some women talking about how they were zombies and they looked like zombies before they even became zombies, well the last time I checked they are being controlled by Parasites if its like RE4, so they arent even zombies, and if you look at pictures of Africa and see African people there, they look like that because most of them live in poor conditions. And also in that story there is people saying that the protagonist being white is whats wrong with the game, and I dont get that because you mean to tell me that if chris was black everything would be ok? Ok try to imagine this, its gonna be hard, but say you were Chris Redfield and you were sent on a job to an African Village and a bunch of parasite controlled African people started running at you, wouldnt you shoot at them and run away and do everything to survive just like in the trailer? Your answer should be yes, because that would be what would happen, you wouldnt stop and say "Im white, if I shoot them that would be racist", so that is how fiction works people, takes a made up event and makes it into a story, and the stuff in RE5 is stuff that could never happen in real life unless you happen to be on a trip in Africa for whatever reason and you were trying to restore some villages and all the sudden all the people in the town starting chasing you down because you got food.
And dude it had a white women in a damn tank of water at the end of the trailer, no one seems to bring that up. These people dont know what they are talking about obviously when they call them zombies, they are parasite controlled humans,and they dont understand fiction in a game no matter how many times you tell them that fiction in a game is the same as fiction in a book or movie. Plus like all the other RE games, the game will take place in a made up or unnamed place in Africa. And the only reason why this is a problem is because of the US's history and the fact that schools still beat us kids upside the head with this damn info about the racist past and civil rights moves from the early 1900's, I was in 10th grade last year and we learned about racism in Americas past and the civil rights movements for over 3 months. None of this stuff even matters anymore, thats in the past but people dont get over it, and many older reporters and stuff white or black feel that its their duty to bring up racial intension's when there is indeed no racial intension's except the ones in their heads.
This is just my ramble about RE5 and what I think. Im not taking the time to reread this or spell check.
