it bothers me that my people are worrying about **** like this rather than working on bettering themselves and their community.
If link was black, sales would drop significantly.
In this thread, i just realized that the only "black" nintendo character that i can recall is a bullet.
Most people don't even know that Link isn't ZeldaTHIS! IN DETROIT, NO LESS!it bothers me that my people are worrying about **** like this rather than working on bettering themselves and their community.
Dude could be spending his energy on so many other causes that would actually improve the quality of life for others.
A black link won't do anything. For anyone. Most black people I know don't even play Zelda.
Here's another online petition

Doc from Punch-Out is the only one I can think of
Never crossed my mind how there's barely any at all
But you do see Master Chief's face (if only for a split second) at the end of Halo 4 though.Same reason why we'll never see Master Chiefs face. Its stupid.
For real.

That's what we need a petition for! Can we get Doc added to Smash Bros?
Better yet, Mike Tyson.
I haven't finished looking in to why in detail but for some common ignorant and conditioning reasons most Asians (not counting India) who do any kind of this animation, comic art, etc. which extends to video games have this thing with white Europeans being the ideal look, the default or what have you. I mean the Asian characters rarely ever look Asian and I think we've all seen how they use to depict black ppl in certain animation.If link was black, sales would drop significantly.

enough of your whining, it's a game, if you want it to be more diverse create your own game

I know I've seen some docs about darker skinned Asians being looked down upon and apparently there's the conditioning of white being right and good and dark/black being bad wrong spreading on a global level in some regions. There's also this thing with Asian men having a thing for blonde European women and given the circumstance there's this vicarious living through white Euro men that plays a part. That's just how it is.
The whole issue of race and racism, prejudice is viewed and approached differently in most Asian countries. As mentioned in another thread where white ppl simply won't know how it feels to be black same goes for every other ethnicity. So when they don't have black main characters or any other characters from any other nationality other than these white ppl that happen to be from Japan or Korea it's totally not unusual to these creators. Diversity isn't a priority. Kinda makes sense given some of the more popular fictional characters are mostly white and are popular around the globe.
But anyway like I said it's really is best to be the change in these situations cuz nobody is going to do it for you. Putting the racists aside, diversity isn't a priority for a lot of ppl when making these things and it simply doesn't occur to them when creating most characters. There's a lot of great examples of ppl who do do this but by and large a person's point of reference character usually matches their skin color whether you're creating something story first or character first. It's only when it's a specific idea about the character where then the skin color is actually relevant where you won't see that trend.
i dont think any other minority group cares about something as frivolous as thisYou guys are unbelievable.
Not ONE person mentioned any other minority group besides Black
