Is this really that weird? Twitch streamers have just replaced the old gaming press, since the old gaming press wasn't really press anyway, it was just a stealth advertising arm.

As a black dude. Great! I want to at least make a character that KINDA resembles me. (Big fat black guy with diabetus and higgbloodprezzure). Or once in a while play a character that's named Tyrone. But have it make some sense. I don't want to see Zeus looking like...

You post reminded me of the old Hulk Hogan movie I watched when I was a kid where he battle a character named Zeus played by Tommy Lister.

Wrong thread for this discussion:
Notice I said "All of their IP's" - As Im using Little Mermaid for a clear example. Black washing white culture is just as bad as white washing black culture in my book and I .. think?... you agree. As for new characters? Have at it. As you said, make it make sense. Africa and the Middle East have a literal fuck ton of different cultures to choose from with thousands of stories dating back thousands of years between all of them that they could pull from for inspiration. The very people black washing white stories are the culprits here, not the animosity between whites and blacks. As everything just comes off as a slight towards white people, and in reality its some woke lazy ass white cuck of a SJW. I'd do anything to go back to ~2010 when these types of people didnt have the power they have today.
Sort of like this - How those I've just talked about have massacred that IP.

This would just make it easier to not buy more products from them.
But I doubt they are considering this. His board wants him to divest not build more assets of useless brands they can ruin. They are in total brand control right now probably going to license D+ out in India to Netflix and possibly sell ABC. EA probably fetches 30-40 billion no way they are looking to spend that warchest in this fucking economy when they've lost half of their market value.

I'm all in on a black Zeus who's fat and diabetic with high blood pressure and has a Dr always riding him about eating better or he might have to go on dialysis.
Guy named Tyrone's a hard "No" though.

That's the problem with "creative" types designing things they think the "savages" would like. You end up with wakanda shields operated by bongo. Levers and buttons would be too civilized. Voice command doesn't show their quaint primitiveness. They can't ever just have full tech black race. They do stupid shit like put afros on their armor. When in reality just a muscle bound black dude with a shaved head and some cool cybernetics would look dope
