Same kind of racist comments were said about Black Panther but guess what? Both were successful.

On PC , people made white CJ . I mean that is pretty telling .


And I've seen people make their characters black in the Dark Souls series. So what?

Not even remotely the same scenario. The DS series has a create a character. GTA SA didnt have one.


The point is that for some people, they simply want their character to have a particular skin color or appearance for whatever reason. In some cases that means using a built in character creator. In other cases it means downloading a mod. There's really no significant difference between the two.

Mmmhmm. Im sure youll say that mentality never pops up anywhere else in life though right? Its reserved exclusively for video games?


What do you mean? Why do you think that doing that in a video game is a mentality that would pop up elsewhere in real life?

I downloaded a mod for Skyrim that added lightsabers to the game. Is that a mentality that popped up elsewhere in real life?

Dumb comparison is dumb.
