Sure. Artistic choice is why I dont lose my shit at people's outfits in games. Hysterically laugh at? Absolutely. But the artist made a choice.

I'm thinking authenticity. I picture a white dude trying to play Barret in FF7 Remake and automatically cringe. The artistic choice is there, along with the capacity of criticism for making the choice. But honestly, I'd prefer the authenticity of the black dude selling the role.

Edit: I mean, Louis in my Avatar, another great example

I mean, adult SON GOKU is voiced by a woman in Japanese. There couldn't be more of a discrepancy between character and va

Do we need a "news" thread about Resetera? Don't we have a thread about this in communities? This is hardly worth it.. and "Assturd"? Seriously?

This started on Twitter, Resetera is just 'helping'.

 

[Phunkydiabetic]

Don't feed the trolls.

What about overfeeding the trolls?

 

[ExpandKong]

I'm curious how many of those kinds of examples you have, versus the amount of examples like in the OP.

Isn’t one enough? MGS2 and 4 were some of the hottest games in the world when they came out, why did nobody give a shit about this kind of thing then? Oh because Phil did a good job and that’s all that should matter.

Maybe there just aren’t as many black voice actors. Maybe if game developers are gonna get ass blasted on social media by unemployed retards when a character’s skin doesn’t match their VA’s, they’ll just stop making black characters. Would that be better?

 

[Abriael_GN]

and "Assturd"? Seriously?

Seems fitting.

Personally, I prefer "wretched hive of scum and villainy."

Okay but that is not what your post convey's. Your post reeks of just wanting to stir up drama on the front page against REEE, Which is whatever we know they are idiots I'm just questioning the necessity of it when we have other outlets.

Ah, 'ol complaining about complaining.

Did it not occur to you that pushback against this kind of targeted harassment against developers might help them feel a bit less isolated?

Bart Simpson is also voiced by a woman and nobody cared.

 

[Maybe It's Medicine?]

It's worth remembering that these are same people who believe racism is fine when it's happening to white people. They also don't seem to mind transitioning and muddling up decades of female empowerment by taking world records from real women. Bunch of fucking hypocrites.

Can someone tell me where/when this bullshit ends? Will we reach a point when the insanity stops?

 

[theekad]

Resetera is absolutely the last place someone like that should be. If any of them were sane, they’d tell him to log off.

Suddenly my idea for consent smart condoms is not such a bad idea....imagine your a celebrity and you want to have sex with a woman ...you would put on the condom with an rfid chip and the woman confirms via her biometric phone that she consents to being railed.....No more costly court cases or #metoo court cases.....just sweet consensual sex.

But how can a woman defend against the inherent power advantage a Celebrity has over her? Even if she “consented” via biometrics, signature and voice recognition, she can’t truly consent, see: Louis CK, Aziz, that one fat gamer guy.

@grandwizob - I've started a thread on GAF where me and other developers in the industry will be contributing by explaining topics in graphics tech from games with a little more in-depth analysis from some sites like DF. We will try to answer some really popular questions like what seems to be a sticking point in current gen graphics and what to look for in the next-gen consoles. I'm verified on that site and people don't take me for a "joke" so there's a lot less trolling and more listening.

Cheers.

When they finally get their wish and are truly marginalized by society.... for their hateful, divisive, and regressive mentality that leaves no room for reason, discussion, and nuance.

When they are synonymous and shamed for their cult like ways and overt, ironic bigotry, then the majority will walk away and not give them any platform.

 

[BadBurger]

It's voice acting. If they're the best for the part regardless of race or sex, of either the actor or character, then they should be offered the job. If they're organizing a harrasment campaign on Twitter then Twitter should ban their accounts.

Bart Simpson is also voiced by a woman and nobody cared.

The character in your avatar has been voiced by two different black guys. Man, they get their hackles up over the dumbest things over there.

How soon can white people be removed from existence?


BTW, as I'm sure it was already pointed out, no one cares at all when non-white VAs do white characters.

 

[Ivellios]

At least based on their thread, there is no harassment campaing or anything of the sort, just a few people talking nonsense.

I never once though of the color of VAs when playing games lol, im always surprised how they find things to complain.

Imagine giving away your personal information to the SJW nutters that run Resetera.

Last thing you want is for them to personally show up at your workplace.

Kratos is being voiced by a black dude, is that okay?

They've started #Metoo-ing each other.

The edit was to put the guy on blast by naming him

God help us all.

Yeah but its racist if you moan about that.

MY BOY

 

[GreyHorace]

Not just voiced but also motion captured.

Pretty soon they'll demand only minorities can do the motion capture of minority characters.

I don't get the logic of those SJW idiots.
Who cares which voice actor is being used as long as the voice fits?

Eh it's the same shit as whitewashing ghost in the shell movie.
People just want to bitch about things

 

[Psykodad]

Is that a serious question?
Because I'm basically the exact opposite of SJW/PC.

 

[The Scrivener]

Is white not a color?

Yeah right. Isn't white like all the colors of the light spectrum in one or something? White wins!

Anyway, good game, and don't bow to the social justice picks.

BTW, in case you haven't played it, the "voices" are literally single words or very short phrases, or even just voice sounds, repeated when relevant. You wouldn't even know if the actor was black or white, or computer for that matter.

FU Reset.

 

[JordanN]

Another developer tries to go woke, but only to go broke again.

Wargroove (Chucklefish) is receiving criticism for casting white actors for its POC characters(Dev respond, see threadmark)

This is making the rounds on Twitter at the moment; Wargroove's upcoming DLC features four new primary characters, three of whom are POC, and all of whom are voiced by white actors or actresses. The base game also features what seems to be* a mostly white cast, with the exceptions of Kimlinh...

www.resetera.com

All I can say is let the idiots on both sides tear each other apart.

Some of these game developers/Publishers these days are hell bent on pushing the diversity agenda, without even understanding that the exact audience for this type of stuff will roast you alive if you make just ONE teeny tiny mistake. So they're getting everything that's coming to them.

Also notice the OP (GSR) is already pissed that the game dare features other white characters? Again, the lunatics on both sides can't even appeal to each other, but then wonder "lol why did our game bomb?".

 

[Bodatan]

Resetera is mentally retarded forum

 

[teacupcopter]

Such a great game as well. Also they have put in PoC in the game- isn’t that great also!? But not good enough for era. Ridiculous

surely these cunts are irrelevant enough to ignore by now. If the devs of wargroove take any notice of this bullshit they are contributing to the problem, I really hope they are sensible enough to realise those pansies at Era dont represent normal human beings.

 

[sincarra]

People really want an excuse to be offended over anything? What the fuck is wrong with Resetera? This is coming from a POC, but who cares if the voice actors are white. Like damn, it’s not that deep.
