While it’s good that there are games where black men are not stereotyped, I’d say it does not excuse the games where black men are depicted as something dangerously brutish and animal. It’s especially toxic seeing how it builds on a tradition of depicting black men as a threat to civilized society, peace, and order.
Less reliance on lazy retrograde tropes of the past, more characters with depth and personality, please. Now that some games have shown us that steps in that direction can be taken, there’s no excuse, is there?
