It's only something that English-speaking westerners get worked up about. Ironically, it's them projecting onto other people, as though the many nations of the world all conform to *their* "racial politics". That is to say, it's ignorant.
They COMPLETELY miss the point that none of the Infected is an evil person - literally ALL of the Infected people are victims, and the character needs to prevent further infection from occuring that will create even MORE victims.
The journalist seemed to highlight the lack of development and costume to make a claim that Africa was backward. But they'd probably get in trouble if the African zombies were in gleaming modern cities and all wearing Gucci. So you might be lambasted for portraying Africa as ramshackle, but the same people might bust you if you portrayed it as exclusively made up of bustling modern metropolises - as minimising the aftermath of colonialization.
The term "Redskin" is actually a native American rank of one of the tribes most elite warriors. They covered themselves in red clay/dirt before battle. Pretty easy to see how they became knkw as Redskins.
Interesting... School told me it's cuz scalpers called them redskins based off blood covered skin after scalping, making them appear red. If that's not true crazy they told me that as a preteenXD
It was actually a council of American Indians that chose that name for the sports team, too. This idea that it was a bunch of racist white people who named them that is a false narrative invented by white Liberals with a Savior complex.
_"... Resident Evil 5's primary antagonists are black people"_ Oh, so Albert Wesker and Excella Gionne are black now? JFC, you'd think professional writers would know what "primary antagonists" means.
Lmao, that's actually assuming said "writer(s)" knows anything remotely about the game other than 'bLaCk ZoMbiEs (in Africa) wHaAaAt!?' 😂 The fact that a black woman is one of the protagonists is something apparently lost on all of them as well, the cover art admittedly makes her look almost bi-racial maybe even white, and they've never delved any deeper than the cover.

The best part about the boulder punching is in Resident Evil 8 when fighting Heisenberg Chris blows up the factory and Heisenberg calls him "that boulder punching asshole" meaning Chris punching a boulder is just common knowledge in Resident Evil world
I like the idea that Chris is indeed famous for this. A body camera or something managed to capture it and the feds use it as propaganda. "Who needs superviruses when even regular people can punch boulders?" Chris is super embarrassed by this and everyone he knows teases him, and of course all the villains who try and use super-science to take over the world know him solely for this. Not his years of dedicated service or numerous successful missions, but him desperately punching a boulder to destroy a weirdo in a volcano.
I don't know. About you guys, but if I play a video game and the world takes place in a certain region, I also expect ethnicities that live in that region to appear in that region.
Yeah, that kind of annoyed me about FarCry 5. It's in Montana (just for reference, I live in North Dakota, so similar population) but there's black people everywhere. Oddly enough, the minority group that should be everywhere in the game, Native Americans, well... Apparently Ubisoft isn't aware those people exist.
Sidenote about blackhawk down: Malaysian filmakers recently released a movie covering the battle of mogadishu, but from the malaysian armed force’s perspective, who were operating under the UN banner. Its should be on netflix, though im not sure if its region-locked, n im not sure if its dubbed in english.
This was a dumb argument in 2009 that everyone mocked relentlessly and time has not changed that fact. The difference now is IGN has lost all of its influence and people are wiser to desperation and hate-clicks.
My sister tried to get offended at me around that I’m just like what are you on about I full completed that game with my black best friend. Just parroting some crap she heard, told her why wasn’t she upset about 4 and the Spaniards, crickets smh.
Make it look like an accident or ship her to a different continent. If your parents are young enough, tell them they screwed up and to try again. Maybe adopt a more diverse kid idk.
Takes me back to college, hanging out playing Resident Evil 5 at my friend’s apartment. Him (he is black) playing Chris, me (I am white) playing Sheva, and two of our friends (one Italian and the other Native American/Hispanic) watching us play. We never talked about race, it just never crossed our minds. We were all just having fun fighting zombies and laughing at stupid deaths. Great times.
All of the West-African immigrants Ive known here in the states had none of the weird issues with racism or whatever that the rest of Black Americans sometimes have. Like, sure, most black people in the US can trace their ancestry to slavery a few hundreds years ago, but not people living in Africa today or people who immigrated since slavery ended.
Ugh, I can't stand it when people don't know what they are writing about, which has been the norm.

They should rewrite the story because that game had some issues, but Capcom did solved those claims of racism in RE5 by giving Sheva a Tribal bikini in her costume.
Sigh, I miss the days where a bit of afterthought level superficial pandering was considered enough to STFU the critics, and everybody then just moved on.
I've replayed through the whole of Resident Evil 5 a few months ago in co-op with a friend and the game aged TERRIBLY mechanics-wise imo. It came out around that time Capcom was unsure whether they wanted RE to be horror or action, so they made something that was kinda bad at both. Had all the cliché trappings of it's time too like a few corridor shaped levels, scripted turret sequences and unnecessary QTEs. Reminder of the absolute "masterpiece" RE6 that came after it being the peak of that Capcom phase. It's super due to a remake and tbh, Capcom is in a much better place now, and is frankly one of the few companies I'd half expect to have the balls to try it in [current year]. Besides, please, Sheva and skintight bodysuit evil Jill both deserve the HD treatment!
If you've seen how Dragon's Dogma 2 was deliberately ruined in pursuit of MODERN AUDIENCES you wouldn't say Capcom is in a better place now *or* think they have balls.

@@kanrakucheese I haven't checked much on Dragons Dogma 2, but if you mean they have that annoying "Los Angeles demographic in medieval Europe" thing modern Fantasy tends to have, they already had that in Dragons Dogma 1, it wouldn't make much sense to change now.

@@Jasper_Silva No, I'm talking about how they deliberately limited the character creator. The demo has a bunch a bunch of options that are fully implemented and work fine, but can only be accessed by memory edits or modding. These are all things essential to making attractive female characters (which they removed, now you have "body type"s)
The Land O' Lakes thing was funny for me as a Native, mostly because it let me wise-crack them for removing the Native but keeping the land. I honestly kind of liked having her on the packaging. Stuff like that feels more like, I don't know, acknowledgement to me. I feel differently about sports teams using Natives as mascots, though, mostly because usually mascots are animals and I don't like the association. Also having been to some Sioux games (before they changed the name), I didn't much like how my tribal name was getting used there. It certainly wasn't respectful. Of course, I don't pretend to represent all Natives or even just my own tribe, just myself. Actually I had an uncle who was very much a fan of the Chiefs and the Redskins, seemingly just because of their names. I know there were Sioux from Spirit Lake who liked UND having that name and were very upset when they changed it. But I also know there were plenty from Standing Rock who were against the university's use of the name. Of course one of my problems over the matter is that no one ever much bothers asking us, unless a court orders it.
Bros. Im Kenyan. When me and my friends first heard the zombies in RE5 speak Swahili, we lost our shit!

Once upon a time, long before George Romero, the ONLY zombies were black ones. The term "zombie" comes from a mythical voodoo practice of faking someone's death and then enslaving them with cocktails of drugs. A "white zombie" was a novelty in the horror genre.
@@EvilDoresh I've watched that film and got it on DVD alongside two other films that Bela Lugosi was in. Also Plague of the Zombies had zombies created from voodoo.
Well, you could have gone, but the security forces would have harassed a person like that all the way. Not limited JUST to minorities either - they would have rotated subversives through their "prisoner handlers" as well for information. Their police services were PACKED with military types fresh from the Namibian/Angolan border war, after all.
Sub-Saharan, or central, Africa is where a large portion of some of the earliest zombie stories, legends, and mythologies, started popping up. So, these ‘journos’ acting so panicky and horrid about this, and wanting it expunged, is a form of cultural erasure. The returned dead, the vengeful deceased, ghouls and disembodied wraiths are a part of all of our cultures, stories and spiritual traditions either written or oral.
They want to force black people into settings where they don't belong, and blackwashing existing characters. All the while they also don't want black people to appear in settings where they DO belong. It's almost like it's about erasure and not representation or something.
No black zombies allowed? Well, tell that to the stuntman in the first Paul WS Anderson _Reaident Evil_ film who portrayed a zombie and went against Alice before she meets the dogs, IIRC. I believe he was also one of the stunt coordinators.
4:30 TJ Storm was a martial arts actor. I remember a show growing up with him in it in the 90s. Mortal Kombat, Street Fighter (uncredited in both), but don't see the show I'm thinking of.

I genuinely wonder who it is that's "Speaking for us" when it comes to some journalists trying to be political. Is it just me that's noticed the target "victims" are usually not even part of the conversation. I'm of African descent and it didn't even dawn on me while playing the game. It's like you can't win, the same person would probably complain about the "lack of diversity" if they rewrote it to be "PC" in their eyes. The devil truly makes work for idle thumbs and it appears that journalism has become so mundane in the media circles that all of them have thumbs idle enough to be this devilishly stupid. Keep up the good work Drinker & Mauler
I think the funny thing as well is that there are also lighter skinned zombies in RE5, it's one of the default 4 or 5 basic Majini you fight in that game. But once you get out into the wilderness and swamps and fight the tribe, they're all black. I always through it was a pretty good storytelling device, as there shouldn't be any white characters within the RECLUSIVE AND PARANOID tribe.
iirc, the lighter-skinned villager zombies in RE5 were a last-minute change that Capcom made after Western gaming "journalists" kicked up a stink about the early preview images. Didn't make much sense having such a racial mix in remote African shanty towns, but if they kept it all-black in the later wilderness areas then at least _some_ sense prevailed.
The only reason why i think this could be a blessing in disguise is because i want with all my heart, if Capcom necessarily has to do another remake (which i honestly don't, but that's a whole different conversation), they'd better do Outbreak, i wanted it since RE2make came out, instead we had to endure that colossal disappointment of 3make
Hate to be the "Um, actually" guy here, but T.J. Storm has only played Godzilla in 2014 and King of the Monsters (2019). After that, Godzilla isn't portrayed via mo-cap in Godzilla vs. Kong nor will there be mo-cap performance for him in GxK: The New Empire.
“Zombies” actually originated in Africa. It was a form of punishment where the victims were given a potion which contained tetrodotoxin. They were called “Nzambe.”
The main zombie in Land of the Dead was a black guy. He was a kickass zombie too in a really good zombie flick imo. So underrated. I love the idea of zombies using weapons it was an interesting concept
Land of the Dead was and i love bad zombie movies, was as you say underrated, sure a parody of romero's earlier work , silly, stupid, but it had Dennis Hopper being Dennis Hopper, it's a so bad it's great movie,also i am maybe one of the few that like most Resident Evil movies and the Zombie Nation series , also Zombi and any eurotrash 80's zombie horror such my thing. the more bad english dubbing from Italian, where half the cast only spoke English, the other only Italian and somehow they still made a semi coherant film Zombi was literally set on a carribean island, all the zombies where black

This is insane. I bought this game midnight release at GameStop. I have been playing RE since PS1. The race of the infected was never even a thought in my mind. I specifically remember thinking wow this is the brightest RE ever. It felt like the franchise was really trying to make a point to show they could ditch the dark corridors and labs for outdoor daylight environment while pivoting into a more action game while still making it good. And, well..... They did. It was a good game.
Reminds me of the old south Park Episode were they want to Change the Citys flag and the Boys think Its offensive because a man Is being hanged Not because a black man was hanged
Krrish 3 had a wheelchair villain, but his villainy didn't originate with the wheel chair, if I can still remember the movie fully. Could fly, but there was a certain twist to his powers.
Personally, my favorite part in R. E 8 was when Heisenberg called Chris a " Boulder Punching Bastard..!" meaning that in this universe, it is known by heroes and villains alike that Chris punches boulders when he's frustrated.
@@richardhockey8442 Vampires will probably be at the bottom, considering they tend to be rich white guys. Ghouls are problematic because they eat corpses without their permission, zombies are socially shunned (for obvious reasons) and werewolves would be seen as subhuman by this game journalist because you are saying humans are dogs (using their twisted logic/fake nonsense they write to get paid because they aren't knowledgeable in anything).
I remember reading the article about how RE5 was racist back in the day. Really goes to show how long ago the rot had set in. The guy's article said he wasn't saying the Japanese were racist, just that the imagery "dovetailed" with racism or something. Capcom's response was to claim that racism just doesn't exist in Japan because they have such a homogeneous society, which is an equally ludicrous claim if you know a even little about Japan.
Who needs black zombies? All you need to do is change the name from Resident Evil 5 to 'Shithole Simulator: Haiti Edition' and offer custom skins for the "cannibal gangs" as pre order bonuses.
I want to see IGN's take on mowing down in Spanish. EDIT: Chris' boulder punching ways were confirmed as canon in RE8 so it HAS to be included in a remake :D
The zombies in the african spearman Outfits are wearing this because the Infektion made them wear this for some weird reasons u can find their writings where they wrote that they found it strange when some started ro wear Tribe clothing all of a sudden
Perhaps they can put Resi 5 on hold until this woke nonsense blows over and we get back to some normality. In the meantime Codename Veronica can do with a redo. If they do proceed with 5, then I hope the Japanese developers don't succumb to the western game industry mind virus to change the local, but if they do, I'll be staying away from it as I still have the Xbox 360 release.
Capcom deliberately ruined Dragon's Dogma 2 to appeal to the wokes (chest size is artificially limited to a very small range, but memory editing shows a much wider range was fully implemented).
@@phantombigboss8429 Have you played Dragon's Dogma 1? The *entire point* of the game is literally the strength of the character creator. A central game mechanic is renting characters created by other players and game does in-fact care about the height/weight of characters to a significant degree.
@@kanrakucheese Yea I played the game not as much as you though to care about miniscule stuff like that. Im still going to get the game. Idc if it was sweet baby approved. and the end of the day if the game is great nothing else matters to me. have fun missing out.
"Game journalists" have discovered that talking about a game only about the story, the fun, the characters, the technology used, the performances...... what should be their job, can only fill a couple of pages of text. On the contrary, launching into ruminations on social reasons and problems (especially if invented and illogical) can give rise to speeches and articles of infinite length. If we add to this "contacts" from a certain economic and cultural area we have the result of today.
I mean, at first glance, hordes of African people getting mowed down by the white main character can elicit a bit of side-eye. But the more you look into it you realize that Capcom did a fairly respectable job of depicting and pulling from African culture and mythology for some of the enemies and monsters in the game. Really, the further in you get, the more you realize the Majini/villagers are the victims in the story, same with the Ganados of RE4. The main villain is the hamtastic Albert Wesker, the dude who literally wants to apply eugenics and social Darwinism to the whole world.
So TJ Storm is Godzilla. Well, I wouldn't mind him playing Brainiac if we not only get to revive Man of Steel 2 but also if it involves motion capture as well as ensuring that Superman stays white and with Brainiac done exactly as shown from the comics and not fundamentally changed in any way
RE5 is still an outstanding game. The Mercenaries Mode is worth the price of admission alone (and I do play as Sheva most of the time -- she's fine AF). So, it's mostly black-person-on-black-zombie violence when I play. 😈
They have this weird scenario in their heads where every game has to be made like you're walking on egg shells just so that every group feels good about their representation...except Hwhite because we're not worried about them as much. However, when certain groups are portrayed there needs to be extra tippy toe precaution on how that representation is displayed...because of history and stuff.
As a black person (a West African at that) I absolutely loved the game me and my friends did the coop through the whole game and loved every minute of it

The best part about the boulder punching is in Resident Evil 8 when fighting Heisenberg Chris blows up the factory and Heisenberg calls him "that boulder punching asshole" meaning Chris punching a boulder is just common knowledge in Resident Evil world
Most importantly, it re-canonizes past resident evil games after they hinted at RE7 being a reboot.
@@randommulato8871 could just be a set up for the eventual RE5 remake.
I like the idea that Chris is indeed famous for this. A body camera or something managed to capture it and the feds use it as propaganda.
"Who needs superviruses when even regular people can punch boulders?"
Chris is super embarrassed by this and everyone he knows teases him, and of course all the villains who try and use super-science to take over the world know him solely for this. Not his years of dedicated service or numerous successful missions, but him desperately punching a boulder to destroy a weirdo in a volcano.

Yeah, that kind of annoyed me about FarCry 5. It's in Montana (just for reference, I live in North Dakota, so similar population) but there's black people everywhere.

Takes me back to college, hanging out playing Resident Evil 5 at my friend’s apartment. Him (he is black) playing Chris, me (I am white) playing Sheva, and two of our friends (one Italian and the other Native American/Hispanic) watching us play. We never talked about race, it just never crossed our minds. We were all just having fun fighting zombies and laughing at stupid deaths. Great times.
All of the West-African immigrants Ive known here in the states had none of the weird issues with racism or whatever that the rest of Black Americans sometimes have.
Like, sure, most black people in the US can trace their ancestry to slavery a few hundreds years ago, but not people living in Africa today or people who immigrated since slavery ended.
Ugh, I can't stand it when people don't know what they are writing about, which has been the norm. Like Drinker says nobody is gloating in killing them, even in later titles we see how Chris changes what he goes through because of how grueling it is. These people call themselves "gaming journalists" but know s*** about the games they are writing about . The make me tired
the only thing they are certain of is which identity catechism they need to be spouting in every single article they write
But we need strong black zombies and strong female zombies for a proper representation.

They should rewrite the story because that game had some issues, but Capcom did solved those claims of racism in RE5 by giving Sheva a Tribal bikini in her costume.
I would only accept a rewrite of that game if they gave Wesker a better conclusion that included Jill.
Use the beta version of the game to improve what they couldn’t back than.
LOL No. That game outsold all other resident evil games. Leave it as it was except for maybe better mechanics/movements.
Sigh, I miss the days where a bit of afterthought level superficial pandering was considered enough to STFU the critics, and everybody then just moved on.
Thank god they gave her one.
I've replayed through the whole of Resident Evil 5 a few months ago in co-op with a friend and the game aged TERRIBLY mechanics-wise imo. It came out around that time Capcom was unsure whether they wanted RE to be horror or action, so they made something that was kinda bad at both. Had all the cliché trappings of it's time too like a few corridor shaped levels, scripted turret sequences and unnecessary QTEs. Reminder of the absolute "masterpiece" RE6 that came after it being the peak of that Capcom phase.
It's super due to a remake and tbh, Capcom is in a much better place now, and is frankly one of the few companies I'd half expect to have the balls to try it in [current year].
Besides, please, Sheva and skintight bodysuit evil Jill both deserve the HD treatment!
If you've seen how Dragon's Dogma 2 was deliberately ruined in pursuit of MODERN AUDIENCES you wouldn't say Capcom is in a better place now *or* think they have balls.
Watch The Electric Underground’s review of Resident Evil 5. He explains all the awesome mechanics of RE5. It’s an action game through and through (so is RE4).
@@kanrakucheese I haven't checked much on Dragons Dogma 2, but if you mean they have that annoying "Los Angeles demographic in medieval Europe" thing modern Fantasy tends to have, they already had that in Dragons Dogma 1, it wouldn't make much sense to change now.

I remember the term "Crapcom" was being thrown around a lot those days.

And to the guy complaining RE5 is outdated, play better, its the tightest RE ever made up today

@@Jasper_Silva No, I'm talking about how they deliberately limited the character creator. The demo has a bunch a bunch of options that are fully implemented and work fine, but can only be accessed by memory edits or modding. These are all things essential to making attractive female characters (which they removed, now you have "body type"s)
The Land O' Lakes thing was funny for me as a Native, mostly because it let me wise-crack them for removing the Native but keeping the land. I honestly kind of liked having her on the packaging. Stuff like that feels more like, I don't know, acknowledgement to me. I feel differently about sports teams using Natives as mascots, though, mostly because usually mascots are animals and I don't like the association. Also having been to some Sioux games (before they changed the name), I didn't much like how my tribal name was getting used there. It certainly wasn't respectful. Of course, I don't pretend to represent all Natives or even just my own tribe, just myself. Actually I had an uncle who was very much a fan of the Chiefs and the Redskins, seemingly just because of their names. I know there were Sioux from Spirit Lake who liked UND having that name and were very upset when they changed it. But I also know there were plenty from Standing Rock who were against the university's use of the name. Of course one of my problems over the matter is that no one ever much bothers asking us, unless a court orders it.
I guess video games can't take place in Africa now. How diverse
No one wants to point out the parallels of mindless undead and mindless living.
mod the game to give the zombies blue hair and have them moan 'racist' or 'cisgender misogynist' when you shoot them
Shawn of the Dead already did that nearly 20 years ago. You weren't paying attention.
Bros. Im Kenyan. When me and my friends first heard the zombies in RE5 speak Swahili, we lost our shit! It was the greatest thing ever and the kind of stuff no one would believe could happen until we saw it for ourselves. I still load it up to this day just to hear all the quotes again.

Blue rotting skin, white tribal outfit & brown filter will make you forget things
Once upon a time, long before George Romero, the ONLY zombies were black ones. The term "zombie" comes from a mythical voodoo practice of faking someone's death and then enslaving them with cocktails of drugs. A "white zombie" was a novelty in the horror genre.
One of the very first zombie films of the 1930s was even called "White Zombie"
Exactly.@@EvilDoresh
@@EvilDoresh I've watched that film and got it on DVD alongside two other films that Bela Lugosi was in. Also Plague of the Zombies had zombies created from voodoo.
This reminds of that part in Lethal weapon 2 ?
"You can't go to south Africa Sir, Cause your Black"
Well, you could have gone, but the security forces would have harassed a person like that all the way. Not limited JUST to minorities either - they would have rotated subversives through their "prisoner handlers" as well for information. Their police services were PACKED with military types fresh from the Namibian/Angolan border war, after all.
Sub-Saharan, or central, Africa is where a large portion of some of the earliest zombie stories, legends, and mythologies, started popping up. So, these ‘journos’ acting so panicky and horrid about this, and wanting it expunged, is a form of cultural erasure. The returned dead, the vengeful deceased, ghouls and disembodied wraiths are a part of all of our cultures, stories and spiritual traditions either written or oral.
Good point.
Romero zombies are quite different from any mythological revenants I've ever heard of. (They share a name with voodoo zombies, and not much else.)
Everyone memes on Chris Redfield and that boulder in RE5, but not enough people meme on Chris having the same voice actor as Sonic the Hedgehog. ;)
and the same as Ezio from Assassins Creed. Mmmm that voice
*Resident Evil 6:* Located in Hollywood, a town teeming with Woke Zombies. Instead of biting you, they infect you with *THE MESSAGE.*
They want to force black people into settings where they don't belong, and blackwashing existing characters. All the while they also don't want black people to appear in settings where they DO belong.
It's almost like it's about erasure and not representation or something.
No black zombies allowed?
Well, tell that to the stuntman in the first Paul WS Anderson _Reaident Evil_ film who portrayed a zombie and went against Alice before she meets the dogs, IIRC.
I believe he was also one of the stunt coordinators.
4:30 TJ Storm was a martial arts actor. I remember a show growing up with him in it in the 90s. Mortal Kombat, Street Fighter (uncredited in both), but don't see the show I'm thinking of.

I know exactly wtf it's going to be and i can't wait!
I genuinely wonder who it is that's "Speaking for us" when it comes to some journalists trying to be political. Is it just me that's noticed the target "victims" are usually not even part of the conversation. I'm of African descent and it didn't even dawn on me while playing the game. It's like you can't win, the same person would probably complain about the "lack of diversity" if they rewrote it to be "PC" in their eyes. The devil truly makes work for idle thumbs and it appears that journalism has become so mundane in the media circles that all of them have thumbs idle enough to be this devilishly stupid.
Keep up the good work Drinker & Mauler
Please excuse me for not reading too deep into a game that has Chris Redfield dealing body blows to a boulder.
Does anyone know what chefs kid story Chris gore was talking about?
I think the funny thing as well is that there are also lighter skinned zombies in RE5, it's one of the default 4 or 5 basic Majini you fight in that game. But once you get out into the wilderness and swamps and fight the tribe, they're all black. I always through it was a pretty good storytelling device, as there shouldn't be any white characters within the RECLUSIVE AND PARANOID tribe.
iirc, the lighter-skinned villager zombies in RE5 were a last-minute change that Capcom made after Western gaming "journalists" kicked up a stink about the early preview images. Didn't make much sense having such a racial mix in remote African shanty towns, but if they kept it all-black in the later wilderness areas then at least _some_ sense prevailed.
The only reason why i think this could be a blessing in disguise is because i want with all my heart, if Capcom necessarily has to do another remake (which i honestly don't, but that's a whole different conversation), they'd better do Outbreak, i wanted it since RE2make came out, instead we had to endure that colossal disappointment of 3make
Thank you telling Story about random Citizens of racoon City has such great Potential
Hate to be the "Um, actually" guy here, but T.J. Storm has only played Godzilla in 2014 and King of the Monsters (2019). After that, Godzilla isn't portrayed via mo-cap in Godzilla vs. Kong nor will there be mo-cap performance for him in GxK: The New Empire.
The “Blawkhawk Down” incident in Somalia was actually the inspiration for Resident Evil 5

This is insane. I bought this game midnight release at GameStop. I have been playing RE since PS1. The race of the infected was never even a thought in my mind. I specifically remember thinking wow this is the brightest RE ever. It felt like the franchise was really trying to make a point to show they could ditch the dark corridors and labs for outdoor daylight environment while pivoting into a more action game while still making it good. And, well..... They did. It was a good game.
Reminds me of the old south Park Episode were they want to Change the Citys flag and the Boys think Its offensive because a man Is being hanged Not because a black man was hanged
It's not a good game, lol.
I am still waiting for a super hero that drives around in a wheelchair but can fly

Krrish 3 had a wheelchair villain, but his villainy didn't originate with the wheel chair, if I can still remember the movie fully. Could fly, but there was a certain twist to his powers.
Personally, my favorite part in R. E 8 was when Heisenberg called Chris a " Boulder Punching Bastard..!" meaning that in this universe, it is known by heroes and villains alike that Chris punches boulders when he's frustrated.

who gets to sit at the top of the victimhood league: vampires, zombies, werewolves or ghouls?
@@richardhockey8442 Vampires will probably be at the bottom, considering they tend to be rich white guys. Ghouls are problematic because they eat corpses without their permission, zombies are socially shunned (for obvious reasons) and werewolves would be seen as subhuman by this game journalist because you are saying humans are dogs (using their twisted logic/fake nonsense they write to get paid because they aren't knowledgeable in anything).
I remember reading the article about how RE5 was racist back in the day. Really goes to show how long ago the rot had set in. The guy's article said he wasn't saying the Japanese were racist, just that the imagery "dovetailed" with racism or something. Capcom's response was to claim that racism just doesn't exist in Japan because they have such a homogeneous society, which is an equally ludicrous claim if you know a even little about Japan.
Who needs black zombies? All you need to do is change the name from Resident Evil 5 to 'Shithole Simulator: Haiti Edition' and offer custom skins for the "cannibal gangs" as pre order bonuses.
I want to see IGN's take on mowing down in Spanish. EDIT: Chris' boulder punching ways were confirmed as canon in RE8 so it HAS to be included in a remake :D
Just when you think wokers couldnt sink lower...
The zombies in the african spearman Outfits are wearing this because the Infektion made them wear this for some weird reasons u can find their writings where they wrote that they found it strange when some started ro wear Tribe clothing all of a sudden
Perhaps they can put Resi 5 on hold until this woke nonsense blows over and we get back to some normality. In the meantime Codename Veronica can do with a redo. If they do proceed with 5, then I hope the Japanese developers don't succumb to the western game industry mind virus to change the local, but if they do, I'll be staying away from it as I still have the Xbox 360 release.

"Game journalists" have discovered that talking about a game only about the story, the fun, the characters, the technology used, the performances...... what should be their job, can only fill a couple of pages of text.
On the contrary, launching into ruminations on social reasons and problems (especially if invented and illogical) can give rise to speeches and articles of infinite length. If we add to this "contacts" from a certain economic and cultural area we have the result of today.
I mean, at first glance, hordes of African people getting mowed down by the white main character can elicit a bit of side-eye. But the more you look into it you realize that Capcom did a fairly respectable job of depicting and pulling from African culture and mythology for some of the enemies and monsters in the game.
Really, the further in you get, the more you realize the Majini/villagers are the victims in the story, same with the Ganados of RE4. The main villain is the hamtastic Albert Wesker, the dude who literally wants to apply eugenics and social Darwinism to the whole world.
So TJ Storm is Godzilla. Well, I wouldn't mind him playing Brainiac if we not only get to revive Man of Steel 2 but also if it involves motion capture as well as ensuring that Superman stays white and with Brainiac done exactly as shown from the comics and not fundamentally changed in any way

RE5 is still an outstanding game. The Mercenaries Mode is worth the price of admission alone (and I do play as Sheva most of the time -- she's fine AF). So, it's mostly black-person-on-black-zombie violence when I play. 😈
They have this weird scenario in their heads where every game has to be made like you're walking on egg shells just so that every group feels good about their representation...except Hwhite because we're not worried about them as much.
However, when certain groups are portrayed there needs to be extra tippy toe precaution on how that representation is displayed...because of history and stuff.
