Forspoken Controversy - Just Cringe, or something more?

It's the hottest topic on the internet. The Forspoken video game clearly has some of the cringiest dialogue out there from AAA games, but Twitter activists says, no, you only think that because the character's a black woman. Now Polygon thinks the game dropped the ball because the game didn't focus on Frey Holland's 'blackness' ENOUGH. But is the game any good? Who knows? Who can keep up with this nonsense.

If you agree that race being inconsequential to the story sounds like a breathe of fresh air, hit that subscribe button!

Remember people hating on Clementine from Telltale's Walking Dead game? Me neither, because the writing didnt suck

[carlosvillegas]

Spiderman miles morales was black yet it didnt fail

[deshawnwilliams]

"All because its a black woman protagonist"...These people have never played Gravity Rush

[oldkinglog]

They call her notionally black because she doesn't speak in ebonics. They want so badly to say she's acting white, but that might get some uncomfortable questions thrown at them.

The most pathetic use of a race card I’ve seen this year

Oh my godzies, I'm like, sooo telekenetic and stuff!

I had so much hope for this game, i mean a modern graphics prototype in a medieval setting with Avatar like Powers they had everything to make this a legendary game and still fail, thats impressive

It is a new game with its own original story. There is no black washing, or race washing. It's purely on the game it self. 3070 with denuvo? Cringe dialog? Open world where you were resurrected to quest point?

I don’t care if she black. The scene was so bad. They could have done better with the animation.

[animefreak]

Black/white/rainbow doesn't matter. The game is steaming garbage lol

[BrandonGavin_EDC]

These wokesters act like Black women didn’t get a start in anything until 2021.

[Atomic-toons]

She was like hey im cooler than white girl and im gonna take the world

[cas]

The fact anyone has to bring up race or about being a women regarding this is nuts. That should not matter. The dialog is awful.

[misterjoker]

Bro I’ve said this so much, she’s a black girl who has to wear her tennis shoes and to upgrade her you have to get her nails done, how is that not a racist stereotype? But nope the critics are lol 😂 I’m have screenshots on Twitter

[nativeoriginsent.entertain]

Yea its not coz the writing is cringey its the race

[gothspawn]

Really she's black, I thought she was liked indian or mixed at least
Also nilin from remember me is black, don't think I heard any complaints about the game

[Kimarnic]

Marvel slop is as cringe as Flopspoken but people love it, bruh

[sweptapostle]

The backlash isn't about her race dude.

Game developers really don't know how to make a good game anymore in the USA or EU. Thanks Japan and China for stepping up!
