One major character (Mimi) is written off as having “moved to America”. Even in the theatrical movie they travel to Colorado and meet a white character named Willis It was literally screaming at you if you actually followed the show, maybe you just didn’t have the attention span to notice. And as I said, if it’s the art style on first impression that’s ambiguous then it’s not the fault of the animators that people automatically assume everyone is white. You could say the same about literally any animé. The difference in this show is they explicitly mention it multiple times. But anyways feel free to continue to disagree. That doesn’t change the script of the show Funny you think children will follow all of this technical detail nonsense you're trying to use as an argument. My point STILL stands. In spite of what the animators intended, wished, hoped, dreamed, and fought for or whatever, THE CHILDREN WATCHING THE SHOW WILL ASSUME THEY'RE WHITE, so to audiences, THEY ARE WHITE.

I was 7 when that show aired and I figured all this out back then and still remember all these examples off the top of my head. But go off

Specter Posted August 22, 2022 Posted August 22, 2022 2 hours ago, youreyesgocold said: THIS would have been a much better thread. To this day we have male breeders complaining when there’s even a hint that the PC in some new AAA title is lgbtq. “Why does it matter??? Stop shoving politics in my game!!” as if they haven’t spent hundreds of hours in other games being macho men and saving women, sexualizing them, having romantic storylines with them, and even degrading them as prostitutes etc. How is that not political??? Its similar to the movie industry and how people complain when even 1 lgbtq character shows up, but even worse because in games you feel like the PC is “you” so to speak. These rats who complain can’t fathom the thought of playing pretend in someone else’s mind for a few hours. Yep! Fzgzg these same gamers have 700 hours on games like Call of Duty, Battlefield and Medal of Honor, where the 'plot' is that country X has invaded all of continent Y and now you have to nuke it. They play these games thinking this is somehow not even close to politics Oh yeah. It's worse in gaming - in movies, usually there's a throwaway line about the character being gay (which can be conveniently cut out in conservative markets d). But in gaming the anger from these types is so much... Louder

Oceania Posted August 23, 2022 Posted August 23, 2022 White people are literally a minority in Tekken. Plus, most of them speak their native language.

I always did find weird that a lot of Japanese games are largely starred by white characters. Another example of this is the Resident Evil franchise. I guess they could be trying to reach a """broader audience""" back then but it's not like they ever moved away from that either.
