Video Game Stereotypes
6 Politically Incorrect Video Games

What I find hilarious (as well as politcally incorrect) is the old Japanese view of Africans. Jet black skin and hilariously red lips. My god, how far we've come.

But there are other examples not on the list. Is it just me, or is every token black video game character who's not offensive, rapping at some point in their game?

Native Americans always have a sort of holistic and spiritual view on the world.

And are Swedes always rowdy, gung-ho weapon maniacs? Actually, that sounds pretty eff'in awesome.

RE: Video Game Stereotypes

What about on girls... a lot of video games have them very thin with ultra huge boobs and booties! lol

RE: Video Game Stereotypes
LMAO That article is hilarious! But hey Disney, MGM and Warner Bros. also constantly used blackface characters though that was put to and end during the late 50s early 60's I believe.

Not only in video games do the Japanese stereotype but also in anime. Their perception of an American is a western hat wearing hick. Also just thought I'd mention this Tide-Line Blue, a very recent anime in which the leader of America is the oil king O_o..
