people are raising a big hairy stink over racial issues presented in RE 5

but no one says anything about any of the vulgarities, gore, hatredness, violence, etc of any of the grand theft auto games.

hypocrits!


Look harder.

Also, I heard some bullshit about "this is a medaphor for aids aint it" somewhere. Take that as you will.

so is capcom wanting to try to take things to an edgier level than previous re's, or are they simply trying to kill off one of their most profitable gaming franchises,..im really confused.
Peter Brady was by far the ugliest Brady kid on the "Brady Bunch". I mean, they were all pretty ugly, and the fact that the Brady dad wanted to always take the boys out on overnight camping trips just a tad bit too often, gave me the creeps.

nah, they're just running into the issue that people make everything topical instead of taking a locale at face value.

You have to ask yourself, would things be different if Chris Redfield were black? If that were the case, then seeing as it was set just out of Raccoon City RE would have involved a black protagonist shooting white savages, and RE 5 would be about a black soldier killing black savages. Would the game play be any different? No. Would the themes be any different? No. This is just a group of people trying to manipulate a part of the media to push their particular view point onto others, with no care to the detrimental effect that has on the media in question.

*note: I am not making a comment on whether one race is superior to another, or if the argument is valid etc. I'm only saying that the the use of RE5 as an example was inappropriate.
