About Me
Hey! I'm a really cool guy. Get to know me. Usually you can find me hanging out with my friends, pretending to freestyle good, making up designs, creating movies or just sitting around. I have a thing for 8bit so I makeup sprite characters on occasion.

So yeah! Enjoy.

One More Step And Soulja Boy Gets It
DreRox | 7:35 PM on 12.18.2008 17 comments


In their latest preview article of Resident Evil 5, IGN Editor Jeff Haynes posts a picture of Caucasian protagonist Chris Redfield holding a knife to the back of the neck of an African soldier while another African soldier approaches. It's not the image chosen so much as the caption the editor chose to include, which as you may have guessed is "One More Step And Soulja Boy Gets It".

Resident Evil 5 has already been stricken by controversy from the release of the first trailer in 2007which featured said protagonist disposing of hostile African villagers.

I have to admit, it never bothered me at all. I don't care what race my zombies are as long as I can blast their undead brains out. But even so, I did note the caption to be somewhat bold especially for IGN and it has already sparked some feedback on the comments board.

How do you feel about the issue? Do you find that caption is offensive?

I feel bad for the African soldier, villager guy in that picture. Being compared to Soulja Boy is just plain gross.

After all the progress zombies have made in the past decades, they're still being compared to Soulja Boy. Disgraceful.

Also, Soulja Boy would be completely safe in a zombie apocalypse, if you catch my drift...no brains, he's got no...ugh, nevermind.

If we stop mentioning his name, maybe he'll go away.

I think that after so much of mainstream media cried racism about black zombies in RE5, this is like IGN just baiting people that are on that bandwagon to start up shit again. It's an idiotic move on IGN's part, even if they're just trying to make a joke.
