Unfortunate Implications/Video Games: Difference between revisions

* ''[[Super Robot Wars]]'' has an unintentional variant in the ''[[Super Robot Wars Alpha]]'' and ''[[Super Robot Wars Original Generation]]'' canons. The good guy mecha have a lot of German names, and the bad guy mecha (for the Balmarians) are inuse Hebrew names. [[Rule of Cautious Editing Judgement|No more need be said.]]

* ''[[Resident Evil 5]]'' features [[Mighty Whitey|a white American who saves Africa]] from [[Scary Black Man|Scary Black Zombies]] with help from [[But Not Too Black|a very light-skinned African woman]]. And later in the game, you fight your way through several African villages swarming with African zombies in grass skirts and clay masks, who howlinghowl incoherently while throwing spears. An in-game journal by one of the villagers before they were infected with [[The Virus]] attempts to justify this by pointing out the strangeness of this behavior, and it is actually one of the first signs that something has gone terribly wrong, but it still plays directly into stereotypes associated with Africans, and the message becomes that villagers would only act like traditional Africans before Europeans arrived if they were infected by a virus that brings out that reduces them to animalistic monsters. Not to mention the fact that they are all helpless and enslaved to a blonde-haired blue-eyed [[Social Darwinist]], until said white American arrives to save the day. Even though he has a black African partner and another important black ally, it still reads like a typical [[Mighty Whitey]] setup.

* In ''[[Dead Rising]] 2'', the only Asian person in the story, Rebecca, is [[Butt Monkey|treated the worst by the narrative]]: she's kidnapped (twice), reduced to helplessness by injury, and ends up cold-bloodedly murdered by [[The Mole]]. By the same [[Incredibly Lame Pun|token (ha)]], another black main character is a gold-wearing, pimp-dressed, jive-talking stereotype who becomes the [[Big Bad]] and kidnaps two (white) women. One of the other black characters is a female survivor who can be encountered beating the crap out of zombies. However,; her name is LaShawndra, and she's basically a Fat [[Sassy Black Woman]] stereotype.

* The ''[[Warcraft]] III''—The, The Horde's dialects are based on stereotypes of different races. The playable Trolls are Jamaican (with other tribes sounding Cuban) practicing vodoo voodooVoudoun, an Orc hero type uses pretty bad "urban" accents, and Tauren, while mostly unaccented, have blatant cultural commonalities with Native Americans. Thankfully, they had dropped most of the [[Exclusively Evil]] stuff before this.
