Guardate il caso, alle volte.
Proprio oggi edge-online se ne esce con un
interessantissimo articolo sui personaggi neri nei videogiochi, scritto da un afroamericano.
Di Resident Evil 5 dice:
I’ll commend Capcom in their creation of Sheva Alomar, who stars in Resident Evil 5. As an African protagonist the player controls, she can easily be considered a role-model for any young black female and even a model of design for other developers as well. Seemingly, she is a tough, well-educated, and attractive woman with no external gimmickry of any kind. Her visual design, dialogue, and behavior are even authentic to her portrayed background and not reliant on media perceptions. Considering that Resident Evil 5 is set in Africa, it was a natural and smart decision to include a playable character from that geographical region.

Thank you Capcom, this is a component of the future that I envision for black characters in games.
Insomma, c'è chi arriva a ringraziare Capcom proprio per come ha deciso di rappresentare un personaggio nero nel suo gioco.
Tra l'altro, questa posizione mi sembra di gran lunga più giustificata e argomentata.
