Vanessa's Makeover.

More evidence of Virtua racism:

Akira in VF3:



Akira in VF4:



OMG Akira got blacker! Clearly Sega has something against pale skin in Japanese men!!!


Lau in VF3:


Lau in VF4:


Sega made Lau darker, more yellow, and wrinkled! Sacre bleu!! What do they have against evil pale powder skin??


Jeffry in VF3:


Jeffry in VF4:


Jeffry got darker!! What're they trying to say about black men?? Why can't black men just be brown??


And most damning of all:

Taka in VF3:


Taka in VF4:


WHAT DOES SEGA HAVE AGAINST FAT PEOPLE?????

(OK that's not race-related but it's pretty darn prejudicial you must admit.)

 

Ice-9. your sarcasm is commendable. I applaud you but not of those characters look like they had their race changed.

 

I want to take this time to talk about the Chinese. Think about Pai's new look for a second. No, really think about it, age change (she's supposed to be over 30!)and all. Why are they killing of Lau? It's obvious with the cough and all....Something is brewing and it isn't Smurfjuice :d

Saiten that's a good point; From which race has Vanessa changed and into which?

/KiwE

 

I don't like Vanessa's new look.

Dixi!

 

Ice: talk about racist...making Lau all slanty eyed.

 

Some of you guys are crazy, lol. I'm loving the witty sarcasm and how the thread is getting back to being just a topic to discuss and not just argue about.
But no matter how much people argue, get pissed off or just plain dont want to talk about it the fact remains that a LOT of people are more accepting of a "colored" individual when he/she is of lighter skin tone. And yes I'm stating that as a FACT not an opinion, so flame me.
But it's cool though, I'm light skin so I dont catch as much hate as my darker friends /versus/images/graemlins/ooo.gif, lol

 

bah

Stop assuming Vanessa is Black??? What kind of shit is that!? I don't have to assume she is black. I can see that she is black.

People change their skin tone when they stop going out into the sun, but not that much.

edit: Image deleted. Shang, how about a ban for the 4th time?

I've never seen that happen before. So I'm not going to say your wrong. I'm just saying it's hard for me to believe. I live in Georgia. We get a good mix of hot and cold weather. My skin never changes.

My main is Aoi. I usually dont play Vanessa. I didnt assume anything. I did say I view her as black though. For all I know she could be indian. Her race doesnt matter. Nobody goes from that dark to that light unless you have something did to your skin. And I know that for a fact.

I cant tell you that cuz her race is unkown. It changed to another unknown race! lol

Edit:

oh and Shang, real men cry.

 

Re: bah

lol I glanced at this thread and thought this would be about her game/system changes, what a suprise /versus/images/graemlins/lol.gif

I have yet to see any birthdates in the instruction booklet or my guidebook. Fighting game characters don't age unless it makes them cooler.

 

Re: bah

lol, you need to get out more, not every race that color is black, she could be mulato, or even a mix of races, all of wich can change skin color like that, i mean who says she didn't have a tan for VF4????

Your right, that's why I said I dont know what race she is.

If that was a tan in VF4 it was a pretty extreme tan. I doubt it's a tan.
