I'll still buy it anyway. Why? Because I don't give a damn and it's a good game.

OP gaming isn't for you. You find things racist that 98% of other people wouldn't even bat an eye at. Who's the real racist here?
Probably an 'epic' troll though seeing as how you're in a couple /v/ groups. Keep your shitty bait threads on /v/ where you belong cancer.

When you're demoman killing the other classes you're a hero, but if you kill another demoman that's black on black crime and you should stop! :P

I don't see anything bad when racism is in a form of joke or electronical entertainment. Everyone has a little racist inside and let's be honest with it.

African people in Africa? THAT'S RACISM!
Killing thousands of white people in the previous games was okay though, but now that you're killing other races it's fucking racist and you have to stop you white privileged assholes.
I love how people have more issue with the race of the people dying/killing than with the actual dying/killing. People get more offended by comedians making offensive jokes and video games being violent than by people actually raping, torturing, and murdering each other. If I tell someone about how Lariam is used against detainees to erase their memory and torture them no one cares, but if someone makes a joke on TV there's a massive social media outcry and the person who joked has to apologize.

In my opinion, always that i see any videogame/film/serial/comic/real life character or person (any gender, any race, any age, any sexual orientation) i just see another human.
So, for me, if i see any occidental man setting a little african guy on fire, i see as "A man, setting a little guy on fire".
I don't care if the person is white, black, gay, green, lesbian, religious, animal, plant, alien... Whatnot. So i don't care if the little guy is white, black, gay, green, lesbian, religious or not, animal, plant, alien... whatnot.
I think that is more "racist" to pay attention about these things, instead of just looking at people equally, and not paying attention on race, age, gender, etc. That's my viewpoint. :)
Ideas split us. And we are all creatures in the same place. That should be enough to help others and to be happy.
Have a nice day :)
PD: The only thing i dislike about people is being fanatics about things.

Racist of the racists) By the way, why you didnt recall Future Soldier? Why dont you blaim Tom Clancy(rest in peace) in racism? What is that article doing here?
...
Just red about Stanley Parable..."I received two separate complaints today from people who found that the images made them significantly uncomfortable," Wreden said in an email to Polygon. So you want to change a game because some 2 guys decided that some pictire isnt suit to the game or what?

They added white infected to Resi 5 because there were only black infected, note the game is in FUCKING AFRICA!
its dumb but I suppose the tribesmen zombies were all black, games should be realistic,
they also changed the Taliban in MOH to Opfor, which is not racist but dumb, but at least we know its them amirite!!!

In relation to the games setting, I am not on about all games in general...

Are you implying there are no white people in Africa in real life ?
Comment has been collapsed.
No, im aware of the white people in Africa, notably South Africa, though in the setted area in Africa, it is unlikely, though the reason I find is dumb, note how I said all the tribemen are black, I was aware of that writing that post, im just arguing the reason for the change was a unneeded inconvenience for the game developers.

Where I grew up, all the people talk "ghetto," regardless of color....

I don't support racism, I just play games. I'm pretty sure people that bought these games that are racist didn't get some sort of kick from killing African zombies in Africa. When that news article actually came out, it was pretty ridiculous, I must agree.

That's what i've been saying to people when RE5 came out :3 yet they still didn't want to shut their asses x)

People who post things like this and believe these kinds of thing are Racist.
"...a white girl using ghetto talk..." Uhh... What? How is this racist AT ALL? It's not reserved for any race in particular but is something often picked up when you live in the, oh I dunno, THE GHETTO?! Just because they're poor, or under-privileged does NOT mean they need to be black.
And if I remember correctly that image form the Stanley Parable isn't like "Oh yes, burning black people good, burn all black children." But was making a statement of Morals, where you could a man could either help some child from a third world country, or set them ablaze. Teaching the players of how some choices would have different outcomes, that some are good, and some are bad, or that some can be perceived by as lesser evils or something along those lines, I don't remember exactly.
And if you're gonna be all "Well smoking's bad! It's bad either way!" The artstyle of that picture appears to be mimicking 40s or 50s propaganda or hazard precaustion type stuff, back then smoking was considered amazing, everyone did it maaaan!

I chose the witcher path in The Witcher because I didn't want to be a racist. Now they all hate me. Except the women. They loooove Geralt of Rivia. Whoops accidentally sexist.

Chances are if you ever bought Resident Evil 5 or Borderlands 2, you did. If you thought that killing black people in Africa and using "oh but they're just zombies" is a valid excuse or a white girl using ghetto talk is perfectly fine by your standards (because we all know how that type of communication is reserved for African Americans and no one else)then i would strongly advise you to check your privilege. Someone even made a handy Android app just for that
The latest example in this despicable trend is now Stanley Parable. Look at this ingame picture and tell me that there is nothing wrong with it. Now i imagine you're all probably brimming with rage so let me just explain you why you should be mad and scream for demanding of social justice in the first place. You see, there is nothing wrong that a grown man is setting a kid on fire, the problem here is his skin color (and i'm pretty sure the situation and public outrage would be the same if the roles were reversed, r-right?)
I bet you're all probably asking yourself what can i do at this point except nagging on the internet while trying to make a controversy out of nothing but! - that's where you would be wrong. With enough commitment and a lot of free time there is a chance that DICE might just hire you to work on a Mirror's Edge sequel with insightful unbiased advices or get a job in many of the Gawker media affiliates - the possibilities are almost endless.
So whenever you see a Black, Asian or Australian character in a videogame you should ask yourself why is he/she there in the first place if they don't have a leading role in providing a social commentary, we don't want you to play games just to have fun, that would be crazy!. Next time you see a videogame that you might like, dont just blindly buy it. Do some research, be sure to overanalyze everything and if that process you tend to separate a fiction from the reality, who cares? It's part of the package
tl;dr
If you buy Stanley Parable before they patch it, you are most likely racist
