And a boxing Kangaroo, The devil, Bane, a Jojo character, an alien robot samurai, Mad scientist, Some ancient god of war, a woman with a teleporting tiger and a cursed vagina. Oh and we also have Bruce, Leroy, Raven, Maven and Eddie.
It's even funnier now when you take into account that Eddie was not only leaked for Tekken 8, but got a teaser as well which makes the entire tweet pointless.
Yeah but in tekken they literally talk in their native language. Not like audio dub change but like the actual characters talk in their native language amongst each other.
Why does it matter??? As a black person, idc whos in the game bc im gonna play with who i wanna play with. And for the record, leroy is "blacker" than eddy. And hes in the game. Why do i feel like this tweet came from my side of the spectrum
If you think about it, all of the major fighting games contain a diverse chacter roster even street fighter 2 from 1991 back in the day king of fighters 1994 had an all black team representing USA team in that game. Look at Sean and Dudley from Street Fighter 3rd strike. There are those and many other examples from past to present.
Personally I haven't looked in depth into harada so I can't say. I do know that from just Tekken I can't say he is a racist. People can think what they want to think and that's ok. Mutual respect for disagreement is what I think people need to learn now a days.
Whats worse is eddy got confirmed as dlc season one so basically this person won but harada is going to make this person pay money for this dlc. Unless this was planned over development so either way its crazy
I'm black but man I'm excited more so for Reina. Love her design and her fight style looks sick. second is raven. he looks refreshing to see and looking forward to playing him.
Harada cooked him up. Damn! Its a stupid argument, first of all, Eddy is brazilian, he is not african american black, he is kinda latino black if you know what i mean. I think that people tunnel vision Bruce/Eddy as the only black characters, because they are here for more than 20 years and completely ignore Raven and Leroy, because Leroy is still new and Raven got swapped for Master Raven and if you think about it, we have been without Raven for almost a decade. Also i think that especially Raven and Leroy are very well diverse made black representations of a cool african american. One is Blade spec ops ninja and second is old wing chun master with drip and swagger. If i would be a black person, i would be more than happy with those characters. And second of all, having a need for representation of my race/culture in a videogame is very stupid. I really dont understand this type of thinking, even if that person whined enough to get their perfect representation, the would not play it, they would just whine for their representation in another game/media. Those people just want to prove their "right" online. Keyboard warriors.
This is such a really bad post on Twitter and it’s downright cringe and pointless. Because for him to say that Harada is racist, literally tells me that he’s not been paying attention to the DLC trailer for Eddy right after the T8 opening.
Why are people taking random twitter posts seriously again ? No, but seriously. Why ? What compels someone to see something on Twitter, and assume it's an argument made in good faith or even in a good state of mind ? Social media hasn't made us stupider, but smart people taking social media seriously definitely has made interaction between people worse.
What this guy said was stupid and moronic. But is this really what commentary has become? Constantly having to bring up one individual moronic dude on twitter(or X) who already got dogpiled by everyone including harada himself? Who didn't even have a point to make from the beginning? (He later claimed he just wanted armor king and Eddy specifically) Black representation is well served in Tekken, this is a reality. Turning it into a dumb culture war issue("the wokes!") or outrage bait doesn't make sense to me.
Stop adding attention to this. You are giving the commenter exactly what he wants. Attention. Just ignore this crap. He’s probably laughing and getting off on all this. Crazy no one sees that
@CosmicMercenary you weren't some people just wanna label anything that doesn't immediately cater to black opinions as racist the black thumb is a giveaway that the person makes race their identity. Black seal of approval to the video
This because we all know one Black person speaks they seem to represent all of us for some reason. That's why this is kind of video is dangerous. Look at the comments it's just driving a further divide. I grew up in the 80s how long did it take for a Black woman to get representation as a headliner in a videogame? Maybe getting to play as other cultures are a novelty to some but for others we don't have a choice. A lot of these characters maybe not represent that persons culture on twitter. I'm not saying that they're right I'm just saying people's perspectives are all different. Why not raise awareness and start a conversation about it instead of whatever this is.
Are there black ppl in Tekken? yes. Is Tekken racist? Also yes. Just cuz there are black ppl in a game doesn’t mean it’s not racist. For Tekken to be a “World Fighter” there really aren’t a lot of diverse ppl from different places. So the Iron Fist Tournament just skips Africa…and there is an overwhelming amount representation of white ppl. Almost more than asian characters. The Tekken team can’t create a thoughtful diverse character but they can throw another white character in the game (I.e. Lidia).
Tekken is literally the most diverse fighting game ever!
We have jaguar, robot, women, men, panda, bear, entities and Kazuya hahaha
And a boxing Kangaroo, The devil, Bane, a Jojo character, an alien robot samurai, Mad scientist, Some ancient god of war, a woman with a teleporting tiger and a cursed vagina. Oh and we also have Bruce, Leroy, Raven, Maven and Eddie.
@desgyulabalogh3429 also a dinosaur and an american
It's even funnier now when you take into account that Eddie was not only leaked for Tekken 8, but got a teaser as well which makes the entire tweet pointless.
bizarre. tekken is probably among the most diverse games there are, with people from all over even speaking their own languages.
That's what I said! ✋ Up top
what about SF? there are people from every country lol
Yeah but in tekken they literally talk in their native language. Not like audio dub change but like the actual characters talk in their native language amongst each other.
There have been at least one black character on all main line tekken entries
All the black dudes are picking jin / kazuya lets not kid ourselves.
lol meanwhile SF only has one blk person, would make more sense with that game lol

True!
I dont even take it serious anymore. I got a friend who believes Harada is racist.
Personally I haven't looked in depth into harada so I can't say. I do know that from just Tekken I can't say he is a racist. People can think what they want to think and that's ok. Mutual respect for disagreement is what I think people need to learn now a days.

Eddie was always going to be in tekken 8. That person really didn't do anything with that
I'm black but man I'm excited more so for Reina. Love her design and her fight style looks sick. second is raven. he looks refreshing to see and looking forward to playing him.
When I showed people at work the raven reveal trailer they didn't know who he was but they thought he was sick!
Right. I was a raven main years ago but switched to eddy then later Jin then bob. Oh wait I’m black guy playing bob who was an instant fav of mine 😂
What's even funnier is that as someone who is a darker skinned Brazilian, Eddy may not have even identify himself as black. 😂
True
You know whete the Mishima royalty are from?
Japan?
im not saying racism doesnt exist but it isnt that bad when people are always actively looking for racism when there isnt any to be had.
Harada cooked him up. Damn!

Who will you main for Tekken 8?
@@CosmicMercenary well i know i will try everyone, but i always stick back to Paul.
Whos gonna be your main?
Asuka is my girl.

Tell me Akuma isn't black. Then tell me what color he is?
Controversial? Who even is that Twitter user and why are people giving him attention? This is nothing burger.
That's just the state of Twitter nowadays. I still use it out of habit.

Eddie
When I heard Eddie was the first one up for dlc I laughed!
just be lucky they put some black character since it s a japanese game
good job tryna start racist discourse over one persons opinion 👍🏾
How was I racist?

Lo que tú digas. Con su permiso yo voy a disfrutar de king y Azucena.
Zafina is african and Lidia is cool as hell and represents a part of europe not often seen in media (at least in a good light)
Tekken is not racist, are you fucking high??
"The tekken team can't create a thoughtful diverse character"
So now you're just lying.
Thank you!
@@karibui494 no one cares. Representing Egypt out of the ENTIRE CONTINENT OF AFRICA is so racist. ANd Zafina ain't even black.
