Originally by: Marcus Ronin I was wodering why there were no selection for dark skinned characters in EVE?
well Duhh... this is a future game.. there are NO black people in the futere XD XD hehehehe.... did you see any black people in starwars (the old ones) maybe?! NO, they don't exist in the future, so there you got it, minmatar is the closest you get (which is a slave breed)
hahaha...
ohh at least i find it funny :P
Lando Calrissian, friend of Han Solo, and the guy that lost the ship Milenium Falcon in a card game to Solo, was a black dude.
Sorry after all there is room for black people in the future, as there is in the present, and there was in the past.
his not more black then the minmatar dudes, his a minmatar type :P
ps: YES ofcause there is room for all the good people (have nothing to do with color, just behavior)

Unless your trolling the old race issue in which case I have to say that those who draw attention to such differences are in fact the more racist of us. The rest of us, with the innocence of children, didn't realize there was a problem.
And the people feeling uncomfortable about such of a discussion often have tendencies to racism.
This question shouldn't be more controversial than the ones asking for beards. But alot of people do their best to be as anti-racist as possible, deem such discussion as unethical and they often overdo it and a form of indirect/passive racism comes into play.
These are the people that canĘt see the humor in racial, cultural and religious-jokes because they are too afraid of being taken as racists. They are probably people who have to struggle not to look at a handicapped person, like any other human being, on the street too.
Astounding, you can tell that I feel uncomfortable remotely? You even feel qualified to speculate upon my tendencies.
Since, as a remarkable personality analyst, you may find this of interest and since you feel the need to single me out I'll share some information with you. In real life I would likely be classed as exceptionally prejudiced. While I have friends of other ethnicities and loved one who are disabled I make racist and generally prejudiced jokes, I don't change my seat for old ladies, and I refuse to let people in wheelchairs cut in line. Why? Because I don't see people as black, elderly, or disabled. I see people as people. All people are different and those differences are rarely a point worthy of serious debate they do make for good humor. If they are not suitable for such someone had better start the fat, poor, and ginger rights movements.
My point is not that this should not be discussed as an in-game option, but that the OP is most likely trolling in the hope of stirring up a little negative discourse because what he's asking for already exists, unlike beards which don't.

Yes because I clearly wrote "You are feeling uncomfortable about such of a discussion and you have tendencies to racism." and not

... well spotted.

Again, very well spotted. Since my post obviously was about you in person this section above is very relevant.

Didn't say he didn't do that. But nevertheless, a request of black characters shouldn't be more controversial than a request about fat characters.

besides ethical, and reasons i shall not get into-
why would it matter...
if you are a 'dark' colored fella, is it that hard to play a 'light' fella while flying a internet spaceship, that only have little pictures of people?

Because its the little things that count
besides adding more color tones couldn't be as hard as fixing the lag would be

well i think this argument is wrong for not taking into account centuries of institutional racism in our society as well as millenia of racism in pretty much every human society known. also it doesnt take into account the limitations of the face generator; i'm pretty sure this problem will be obsoleted by ambulation
Originally by: CountOtto Black For gods sake. It is a game. People who play the race card are the actual cause of racism in the first place.
i think this argument is wrong as its pretty much the same as saying "people who complain about *****are the actual cause of the *****problem AMIRITE"
Originally by: Rollotamasi Aye, And I like my game toons to look like me.
i think this argument is wrong as its just a game
Originally by: Rabbitgod Edited by: Rabbitgod on 10/02/2008 19:49:24 Race has a huge effect on your personal experiences because it can effect how you are perceived and treated by others. -Money goes missing at the job and your the first/only one asked about it. -People expect you to be bad at reading, writing, math, ect. -People expect you to be good at sports. -If you own a cell phone you must be a drug dealer. -If you have a nice ride you must be a drug dealer or, you stole it. -That you personally know every brother in the city.
Just a few observations I've made since I moved down into the South East US. It's hard being a Canadian down here.
and i think this guy is wrong as he's canadian i think i have it all covered here goodnight

This is one the most rediculous threads I've ever seen. If you can't find an avatar to suit your tastes in this online-roleplaying-internet-spaceship-game, you're not trying hard enough.
My toon is a black priest from Africa. Even though I'm not black in RL. I specifically designed him as such.
This discussion fails bc the OP is trying to force some RL racial garbage on a game whose premise is different fictional races surviving from a catastrophic worm-hole collapse in some distant future, "far, far away..." Not to mention clearly you can design differnt racial attributes if you design it so.
Playing games means suspension of disbelief, not to mention suspension of your own ethical nature. You pay money to play a game whose plot is based on what the devs say it hinges on. If you don't like it you can always not play this game whose fiction doesn't suit your own, personal tastes in games, tbfh.
You kow, YOUR toon shows up as a question mark. And now I'm po'd bc i don't think other punctuation marks are being treating equally. I do it protest.
You see my point? or are you blinded by metaracial prejudice?

Originally by: Thicky McThick I wanted a green skinned character, or even a blue one. Red I could live with , maybe even yellow. Maybe yellow with pink spots. Purple with gold stripes. Orange, grey, scarlet. Transparent even, no colour at all, see all the bits inside.
This.

The answer is ambulation. Since we're getting a completely new and changed character creation system anyway (and you will have to re-create your character's portrait in it) then there is no point in asking for anything to be added to the existing system right now anyway.
And this thread is getting REALLY quite racist now.. |

Note that cycling through the lighting options will significantly change the skin colour of your character.
This is like that scene in one of the Matrix films where everyone is dancing by underground firelight and you can't tell who is what race because they're all pretty much orange. Likewise, the harsh white lights of space would make Samuel L Jackson seem pale. ---- Anything less is wasted effort |
