Tears of the Cows 1,212 Posted May 24, 2023 Share Posted May 24, 2023 (edited) https://www.eurogamer.net/black-girl-gamers-jay-ann-lopez-on-the-importance-of-black-representation-in-fantasy Speaking to Eurogamer, Lopez says she believes the game wouldn't have received this same level of criticism had Frey not been Black. "In the gaming industry, there are these dude bros that come out of the woodwork whenever they feel like Black and Brown people are stepping out of their place," Lopez tells me. "They feel they own the gaming industry and gaming culture. And part of that is because gaming media outlets and publishers have allowed them to feel that way for such a long time. They feel empowered to tank a game [that has a Black protagonist]. If it had a white person, they would probably have not felt the same way. "All the people I've spoken to who have played the game have enjoyed it on some kind of level and thought it doesn't deserve the flack that it got I guess they think the same thing about Miles Morales flopping, too.

Ike★ 2,919 Posted May 24, 2023 Share Posted May 24, 2023 As much I think that the author is speaking hyperbole, this thread probably won’t end well. The game sucked, period. The demo was enough to see that for anyone. Should probably just lock this thread now. Link to post Share on other sites
jehurey 3,243 Posted May 24, 2023 Share Posted May 24, 2023 LoL why would anybody pay attention to articles like these. I think it's become obvious that these articles are made to attract angry incels. And lo and behold, take a look at who went out of their way. Link to post Share on other sites
