You should be thankful buddy. I mean, imagine what it's like for my kind! We used to be in every damn game there was! It used to be that you couldn't pass wind without seeing one of my peeps transverse a dungeon, but now? Man, the only game I can even name is One Finger Death Punch and that took literally hundreds of shit shovel ware games for Silver Dollar Games to fund. It's like we're video game pariahs now! It really makes me sad.

I don't really get what the issue is though. When a Kilroy was featured in Fallout: New Vegas, I didn't get all pissed. And if that isn't minority placement, I don't know what is! Seriously, when was the last time you've seen a Kilroy?

Some of the posts in here really give me back some trust in this community. Thank you, really.

Other posts, of course... well, at least they're not unexpected.

You just listed two different colors. What are you trying to pull?

It's kind of weird how we separate ourselves into such broad groups. If we're going to categorize people, we deserve to go all in with paint swatches and obscure color names. Eggshell. Burnt Umber. There's more to life than the brightness slider.

Anyway, Battletech. Ask yourself this: have you ever seen a Chantilly Lace-colored dude dancing and went, "yeah, that's the person I want to put in a 30-foot killer robot"? I can barely be trusted to enter rooms without walking into a door.

This thread... not what I was expecting.

Elaborate.

Dude, just play the damn game.

I haven't played the game and don't follow the canon of that game universe, but any chance those choices make perfect sense based on canon?

What some others said, too: inclusion just to be inclusive... bah. Comes out awkward sometimes, and obvious at others. Just let the gameplay and story do their thing.

Besides, it gives this cracker the opportunity to pick a cool name like Groove Champion. ; )

In a fictional universe where genetic manipulation is a fact of life and where incest is not the big taboo it is here, I hardly think it matters.

Is that what you're calling fetuses these days in the US? Well, I guess technically that's correct. But I also guess if the pro-life dudes are running amok over not calling fetuses human, they're definitely having lethal seizures over calling them parasites.

Not to my knowledge. But any game about giant robots should have at least 80% asian people in it anyway. Just saying.

That's the truth, absolutely, and I really wouldn't stop at just "a". :)

Would love to respond to some of the other stuff you wrote, but ... now may not be quite the right time.

Wait, incest is a taboo where you live? o_O

Unless it's something like saying I ship the two Kagamines, but that's only a personal taste of mine. >.>

A single woman on a mech counts like an entire team?
Is she called Ripley? XD

Well, this makes up for that one time John Wayne played Genghis Khan.
