I came in here just to vent about that. Seriously.
And Viv is real black, because apparently Isabela was fake black. Duncan just got a tan or something.
Holy crap, the racism on BSN is just enraging.

Oi vey. That guy. I liked the forums better when he took a break from them.
LOL 'recton'. ![]()
I feel better knowing that that individual's just a troll, since he showed up in another thread and said that men who RP as female characters are 'gender confused'... yeah. Definitely just trolling.
Or at least I really, really hope so.
Like with the 'Kaidan cannot be bi' debacle, I've seen people who think like that, sooo 50/50 troll or sincere.

Sincere troll!
So i have to ask. Why do so many people care about skin colour?

Because BW is being swarmed by SJWs and forced to be more PC! /s
If it's anything like with the outcry about LGBT characters, it's likely about prejudiced people getting angry that they are no longer the only group to be catered to.
Crap. You're right.
Where is Lady A? I need her arms around me in this trying time.
I'm here now, Gomez! I'd never miss out on a Gomez internet hug if I can help it. ![]()

That thread is just depressing and annoying at the same time. I'm probably going to go on bit of a rant in there later, if I have the energy. First I have to go watch Superman vs. Batman, because I told some friends I would.
I don't really want to, because I think I'm going to dislike this Batman portrayal, but we'll see.

Very Interested in hearing your thoughts after you've watched it!
I've heard so many complaints about that movie but I also wanna see it.
I just wish Christian Bale was Batman and not Ben Affleck.
Well i think Affleck pulled off what Bale never could, but that is just me. I like the darker aspects of Batman. It will be a huge discussion for years to come.

No, no, you don't understand. It's about realismTM!
It actually seems more like people are upset that games, the last bastion of [cis, het, white, bro-y] escapism, are bringing forward icky real-world minorities and reminding these people of their existence. Horrible, huh?
BUT -- and this is a 'uge but here -- one of the gamey elements that perpetuates this sort of problem, leading to these threads, is Bioware's lack of variety when it comes to background and mob combat NPCs. For example, there will be a single Venatori mage model who is white, male, and has the same face as all of them (there might be some facial variation, I'm not entirely sure). We saw the same thing with the innumerable "it's raining men" bandit NPCs in DA2.
It's a shortcut to save resources, of course, and these NPCs aren't important in the grand scheme of things, but we can't have a world without NPCs to populate it.
At least you picked a good Doctor/companion hug. I mean, the current guy said he dislikes hugs because people use them to hide their [supposedly honest emotional] face. Wtf was that? Way to ruin hugs, Doc.

So, I didn't watch the whole film, but I snuck in for the ending after Zootopia finished up (I know, very bad of me) because some of my friends had bought tickets enough in advance to get it and since we were all in the same car, we had to wait for them.
What I saw really wasn't to my taste...but at least I thought Wonder Woman looked great, but I suspect we'll agree on. ![]()
How dare you have an opinion that isn't mine!
Spoiler
I'll reserve judgement as I haven't seen the movie. After the trilogy I'm just used to Batman being Christian Bale.. And I have a soft spot for the actor because American Psycho happens to be one of my favourite movies of all time.
I know right! I think its more about Nolan's movies then Bale to be honest. Not a huge Nolan fan. I am so going to get alot of flak for this. Always liked the villains in those movies, i never connected with anything else.

Well atleast you got to see Zootopia, which is a great movie. Did you like it?
Affleck's Batman is based more on Frank Millers - The Dark Knight Returns, and it is way more gritty and violent. That is what i love about Batman though he has had so many great voices and actors behind him over the years. I still think Kevin Conroy and Michael Keaton is the best, but i'll put Affleck at a 3rd place for now. Want a standalone movie from him aswell.
And yes Wonder Woman was my favourite thing about the movie, and my biggest fear going in. Gal Gadot looked awesome! Maybe we should start a Comic book/adaptation thread? To gather it all in one place, i could talk about it all day.

Here is an amusing thing... The UK is building a new polar research vessel and has turned to the internet for suggestions on the name of said vessel. Anyone in the world can vote (I did). The amusing thing is that you can see all of the suggestions and see them in order of popularity. There are some serious names and many non-serious ones. The #1 choice, with 10x more votes than the #2 spot, is RRS Boaty McBoatface. Lol...
I voted for RRS David Attenborough, which would be particularly great since he's still alive to feel the honor of such a naming.
You can see all of the names, and vote, over on their website.
Do keep in mind that these are suggestions only, and the agency is not beholden to these results. Probably a good thing, because internet.
wow that's a fun thread right there....
I just don't see the point in getting overly upset over the arbitrary ratios of White people to Blacks to Indians to *insert next ethnicity*.
Now if this was Middle Earth and a new developer was trying to sell the idea of Dark Skinned Numenoreans or something then I'd have an issue with it because it'd just be inconsistent with Tolkien's writing, but DA has never even tried to firmly have nationality = ethnicity.
