I knew back in the early 2000s, when I learned Digimon, Pokemon, Sailor Moon, etc. were Asian creations, but everyone was white. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devin Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 There are plenty games with POC in them. They just aren’t on your radar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subzero Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 (edited) Not many but some of my faves Liu Kang from MK Jax from MK. He was always my second favorite character growing up. Storm from X-Men Jin from Tekken And more I cant think of atm, might not be iconic to others but they are to me Edited August 22, 2022 by Subzero Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frogger17 Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 Just now, Park Jinyoung said: Ain’t no way you think Ash or Brock are white Ash could most certainly pass for white. Brock, no, but the majority of them are going to be mistaken for white. When a character's race isn't explicitly stated, people default to white. In any event, there's still Sailor Moon and Digimon, so my point still stands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
