Note this is fictional. It meant to fun..do not be cheeky and bring up real groups.

I hate the Quarians, they literally mess over Shepard over and over, even trying to blow up a ship that s/he is on. They are freaking war criminals. They started the war that got them kicked out of their homes. And what was this war about. They broke the laws and tried to make AI and when it became life..they tried to genocide it. And at the end , they will DIE because they don't stand down.

Besides Tali is there anything good about the Quarians at all.

Fantasy Elves. They are always so stuck him. No matter what Fantasy world you are in. ( the tall elves not the tiny kind that make cookies)

I hate elves too in most fiction for the same reason (I refer to them as knife eared mother fuckers) but they're pretty chill in Witcher and Dragon Age.

Mexicans. They're a race in that newish Shia Labeouf movie. I don't get their whole lore. Are they in other movies or is it just something they made up on the spot for that movie? I feel like Shia portrayed what they were probably going for very well. But everyone else seemed off.

Well, it's more that everyone in The Witcher world are dicks, but the elves basically helped genocide themselves because they thought they were so much better than humans that the humans would eventually disappear on their own.

Doesn't help that a lot are basically just analogies for people of color, but with all the harmful criminal stereotypes being core to their species. It's just a cowardly, thin veil for the writers to bring up racism while also being racist. :l

Agreed. They once in a while have the "redeeming hero" one like Drizzt, but that's just so they can pull the whole "Hes one of the good ones" thing.

I don't know a ton about drow, but how many real world stereotypes involve a matriarchal society that worships an evil spider god?

Or people can write characters how they want, even if they're based in stereotypes.

Some of you people take this shit way, way too far.

I recognize poor writing when I see it, and there's a lot of it these days. Yeah people can write whatever they want. Doesn't mean they can't have poor writing criticized.

It may be poor writing, but that doesn't make it immoral writing, which seems to be your implication unless I'm not understanding you.

Also, this is a fun topic about fictional races; the TC even said that we aren't allowed to belittle actual human races. So what are you even getting upset about?

I understand racism far more than the average white person does and consider myself a progressive, but I'm sorry, this is just looking for things to get offended about.

It's like saying the authors of the Hellsing manga shouldn't have written Alucard to be a violent psychopath because murder is bad.

Not every fiction needs to or should conform to modern-day cultural standards. Also, writing characters with negative qualities can make for an interesting narration if done right. It doesn't have to be 100% positive all the time.

Dark Elves were originally thought up when PoC were thought to be less than whites, and its prevailed through the ages.

They've done a lot to expand on them and make it better, but they still carry that weight with them; that's undeniable.

True, but I think that's a completely separate thing if the dynamic of those characters has changed.

I generally don't like elves, or at least, how they're used.

like, they're often this race of this long-lived, elite, elegant beings, or some old race of special beings who have been endangered, enslaved, pushed to the edges of society, etc.

dwarves are generally chill, though, so I tend to like them.

I was gonna say Quarians specifically because I remember being on Bioware's forums and the amount of vitriol on there from Tali's name alone...ew.

But I like all other Quarians, so...I guess I just dislike Talimancers.
