I would honestly buy a switch. Or at least upgrade my computer to emulate it. What's the dramacoin to 1080TI conversion rate?

They're going for $1k+. so probably all the dramacoin for one or two

Literally the best investment I have apparently

Western devs design a black chick with a nose wider than her eyes and an afro then pat themselves on the back for being "progressive."

Japanese devs design a dark-skinned goddess and everyone cooms over it.

Actually, there have been instances where westerners kept pushing and they got big mad. It's a good thing most weebs cannot actually speak Japanese and don't understand how Google translate works (or maybe they're too proud to admit they don't understand). G*mergaters sounded downright polite by comparison.

when you spend a good chunk of your life learning that people hate you and want you gone purely based on your existence, it starts to weigh on you. Finally getting to a point where we're allowed to be heroes, main characters, NOT villains or cannon fodder or treated as weird offshoots is a big thing. It's cool to see people who look like you being treated as, well, people, for once, or being allowed to take part in something. So when one of the most popular and varied games on the planet doesn't include you, or has you relegated to a costume, it hurts. It hurts that you aren't allowed to be the default or take part. And that's why it gets brought up so often.

I remember when black people used to be cool, man. Internet made even black guys soyboys, wtf.

I don't know. The FGC is (probably) the only gaming community where there are a lot of black people participating. Wouldn't be a stretch to imagine there are a few Social-Justice 🏀 types on resetera who aren't pleased there are no black characters in Super Smash Bros. :marseyshrug:
