Liberals currently say changing skin color doesn't matter because it doesn't change the character and that's why a black 007 is okay or any other popular white character being changed.

So what's the issue

i mean it's not a blanket thing

the question to always ask is "is this person's racial background of ethnicity an important part of their character"

why do you care what a person does inside the confines of their private property? This isn't illegal.

And in gta sa the most important aspect of CJ's character is that he's poor and trying to get out.

His ethnicity changing doesn't affect the story much at all

I like how the context was literally "fuck this I don't want to play as a black guy" but that's not racist no sir not at all
in fact I'm being not sarcastic

He's like the only dude with a moral conscience and a heart, Lol. The dude was loyal to some crazy girl he knew growing up. Going as far as doing her husband's job for them.

I find it funny how they got no problems with playing as a poor white guy who got a black brother that is a gang leader and everybody else in the gang are black, and you basically makes the gang grow into the biggest one in San Andreas.

It feels especially dumb to not want to play as someone who's black in that game.

Not like it's set in medieval Europe or something.

One thing I always found funny about San Andreas is that one you left Los Santos, CJ being black or a gangster pretty much had no bearing on the rest of the story lol, it could've happened with any character

It's no wonder that there are so few Black protagonists in games, considering the tantrums that are thrown whenever they show up.

I think the biggest triggering would be a FFXV kinda game (can only play one protagonist) and its a black man

I mean, I figured if it could work for San Andreas then it could work anywhere right?

Ironically for all the shit surrounding Battlefront 2, nobody seemed to complain about the high-ranking woman leading a bunch of guys around

Probably cause she was a well-written character and that's all that ultimately matters

I thought people didn't like him because he made the tone of the game way more lighter and less gritty? I don't remember anyone saying it was because he was black.

Also the shitty meme stuff

When it was pointed out he was black we had a mixture of "ubisoft just doing it for liberal points, Marcus is black and sounds from the hood so he won't know computers, wtf you mean he's smart? I'm not buying it cause it's just dumb they won't let you play as one of the more fleshed out (read: white) characters"

I mean I'm not surprised, people always are getting pissy when the generic angry white guy isn't the protagonist. Personally I was actually glad to see a black person be the protagonist in Watch Dogs 2.

Im not saying we shouldn't have white people as protagonists but I certainly like variety.

Anyways, a well-written character is more important to me than their ethnicity or race. Plenty of white protagonists that are developed well and there are plenty of non-white protagonists that....aren't so well

I dunno man, I feel like.. you can just understand Trevor more, y'know?
Like I dunno how to explain it but if I had a choice I'd definitely be on Trev's side. Hey you even get a good nickname for him now.

It's a but like how CJ and Tommy are both kinda the same but you just understand Tommy more.

No idea why. Just how I feel bro.
