capcom went full woke with ada va

[R.O.K. SEOULDIER]

its the liberal agenda.
black actors must play black characters
asian actors have to play asian characters
latinos play latino characters
arabs play arab characters
indians play indians
etc.

this is like the whole simpson, cleveland show fiasco. i guess people forgot about apu from simpsons and cleveland show both non minorities who were axed due to the liberals cries that "the characters race should coincide with the actors race" instead of you know selecting people for their actual talent and skills. notices it only for america audience that the va was changed.

all of ada va were white and sally did the best job. instead to fullfill the liberal audience needs they just picked a asian female who was horrible in the movie AND the game.

Only character i had a small issue with voice wise was the merchant. The more i played though the more he grew on me, but i still prefer the original - even though the new actor does a great job. It's just one of the heath ledger situations like almost impossible to replace.

Is this ironic?

The decision honestly came off as ironically racist to me. "Oh Ada Wong sounds Chinese so lets cast a person with a Chinese accent" despite the fact that there are plenty of Asian immigrants that do not have or have extremely faint accents.

And this kind of thing is exactly why people are worried about political correctness.

Which, by the way, is very different from actual diversity and progressiveness.

One has genuine intent for diversity, while the other is posing to get "Likes."

Can you guess which is which?

I can guess a lot of things about you based on your posts, yes.

For your sake, I hope you never take up gambling as a profession.

You may also wish to consider just how much of your judgments are your own bias talking.

Sounds like it, but the left will actually get behind that. Anyone not white playing a non-white character is fine, but god forbid a white person plays a non-white person, then it's cultural appropriation. At least Jeff Schine, who plays Chris did a good job portraying a western-born latino, ie Carlos.

It's so weird to watch history leave people behind as it happens. In 30 years these same people will be screaming at their TV about how things used to be better in the 90s before these "insert minority" could "insert action" without a hint of irony. This is how that starts and it's so fun to me to watch because they're mad at something that's already happened which they never had any control over and will never go back to how it was before.

Oof, we probably shouldn't let it out of the bag that Carlos also has Native American ancestry. That would be considered "appropriation," right?

Oops, too late, it's out there now!

Hey, man, the 1990s were awesome af, especially in terms of video games.

Just putting it out there that this entire series debuted in the '90s. ;)

The important thing is you guys made a strawman and got mad at it to justify your thinly veiled racism.

....... indigenous ancestry, that doesn't mean Native American lol. He's officially south american with indigenous ancestry, since Japan sure as ♥♥♥♥ didn't want to be precise, he could be Peruvian with strong Incan blood ancestry for example. With the last name Oliveira though, that sounds like he may be of Brazilian descent.

No, I'm pretty sure the important thing here is that you're name-dropping "Strawman argument!" just so you have an excuse to label people "racist."

..... well, actually, the Archives specifically states that he has "Native American blood in his veins," so.....

Granted, that's again Capcom, a Japanese gaming company, making the lore, so make of it what you will.
