Stevivor -- "A new petition on Change.org is calling for Nintendo to change Link to a young black female in the upcoming Legend of Zelda game on Wii U."
I see no problem with creating black and female characters as those two groups play more games that you realize and are very much misrepresented, but lets not change classic characters, lets make new ones.
This petition is trolling blacks and Nintendo at the same time.
Yeah, no. I'd sign a petition to get the Link we've seen in E3 2011 instead of the one shown this year. He looked much better than the cel-shaded one of this E3.
I clicked on this becouse I thought it was a petition to have a young kid link in the Zelda world of Skyrim. I was disappointed but yet surprised to see the rest lol
If there wasn't a possibility that this is just a huge troll, I'd say that this is exactly what the Ubisoft B.S. has wrought.
These people who want inclusion just for the sake of it are going to ruin games and development for everyone. It's absolutely ridiculous to think that Link should be changed to a young black woman, or any character for that matter.
Seriously, why aren't people who want these things doing nothing more than complaining?
This does seem like one huge troll though. Serves the ones being mocked right.
Honestly DragonKnight I think it's far too dumb to be real. I think this is trolling in lieu of the mystery behind the new Link's gender and how that got people talking.
Complaining, that in a game the person is white and not black, is actually racist. Racism is something, that goes in all directions, not only if we talk about africans.
That japanese people create a white character as their protagonist, is not racist at all.
We live in a world where political correctness has gone overboard and that usually means change white people out to some other race asap in anything you can and also make sure it's a female. Where a black person can call a white person anything and can discriminate against a white person and it's not racism but when a white man calls a black person even the word "black" it's automatically racist.
I hate this stupid "political correctness" movement that exists in our world today.
Don't get me wrong im way against the idea but seriously people be smarter than the ones you are fighting against.
1) White is not a specific race it is a color and Hylian is not a color it is a race.
2) No one said that link couldn't do it because he is white they asked that it be changed to black and female.
Any *ism requires the discrimination based on the *ism. Asking for a change is not in and of itself racism. Bigoted maybe but definitely not racist by definition.
What the hell lololol???
