In an obviously desperate grasp at page views, IGN 360's appropriately named editor, Hilary Goldstein reviews the complaints of racism in the upcoming Capcom title Resident Evil 5. blahblahblah Nothing new here. I came to IGN to check if they had their review posted for Afro Samurai (ironic, huh?) and found this instead. I wasn't particularly interested but I sighed a long hard sigh and read what he had to say anyways - which amounted to very little to anyone who's read squat on the topic before. Look, let's face it. Anyone with half-a-mind has turned a blind-eye to the issue by now. The fact of the matter is that it's portraying the location of a particular viral outbreak. It wouldn't make any sense if the enemies WEREN'T African, as that's the source of the outbreak. And 1 + 1 = 2. The only stereotype here is how stereotypical it is of IGN(orant) to post an article like this, right now. The only way to move past this whole thing is to just let it happen. Thank you for doing your part IGN, you loud-mouthed little sister to the gaming industry.

I C WUT U DID THAR
What? I like them both and just because I want them at the same time makes me racist?
Which is fine if someone hasn't heard all the hubbub or many different PoVs on RE5. The article looks, at the very least, like a comprehensive rundown of a bunch of the issue and factors at play.
Buuuut, even as a guy that kind of gets into this discussion, it feels like this is a more interesting and relevant discussion to have once your audience has played through the game too, and can look at it through their own eyes, and overlay and analysis on top of it. People are going to see different things, which should go without saying for life in general.
Also, Sheva is clearly an Apple Martini type of lady.
ZOMG!?!?!?!?!! WHAT THE FFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUU
Lame.
