Hi TL!
On wendsday in going to be attending at a panel discussion Negro pride (African American festival) and talk about norms videogames. I work as a esportsreporter for several American media channnels and i am kind of going to represent gaming, especially esports.
So what i would like your opinion on is:
There are very few black characters in videogames, compared to the white ones, and also quite few Asian characters. However there are a lot of Mexican and Black gamers out there and they are not represented in any way. How does this affect the way we look at Blacks etc? Does it affect us at all?
Does if affect how WANTS to play, since they might feel uninvited and excluded?
Would it diffucult to admitt that you are black say when playing online or in gamersociety? Would such person be treated differently? How would you react if a good progamer came out as black?
Do we need to change they way we portrait norms in videogames? Does it affect how we perceive reality?
What kind of ethnicities and values are advocated in games?
id like to point out that the questions are not necessary representations of MY thought, but the questions i was asked to think and analyse about. The black comunity in America however does think it is important enought to discuss.
Thx for every answer ^^ Anyone in LA be sure to show up! On Wednesday, 14.15.

This would be a decent topic to discuss if you weren't all being obnoxious assholes about it. Yes, modern gamer culture does seemingly exclude groups of people. Thankfully, the SC2 community doesn't seem to be one of those.

that makes no difference for me i guess
i dont think i would care at all if some progamer would is black or white and i would say most of the community wouldnt
EDIT: at least i hope

troll thread.

Jesus fucking christ.
Where in you're mind did you figure this was funny?
It's actually not funny, but just assholeish.
I'm hoping for a Thread Lock asap because these kinds of threads are fucking immature as fuck, and most inteligent people that show up to teamliquid don't want to read about stupid shit.
