Hope the RT score sticks. In wanna see Zack go out on a high note.

I don't think Zach Snyder is alt-right. I do however believe that there's another more fitting word to describe him: complicit.

Well, Smash Bros is a compendium of (mainly) the japanese videogame industry, so it's predictable that the outcome is a "not black" roster, it's wrong to say that the roster is mostly white when they are japanese videogame characters, it's the same as saying that anime characters are white (unless stated otherwise, Link, for example, isn't white, because he doesn't come from this world).
Should Smash have more representation? That's a question that, at least in my view, is more in line with the USA black racism issue, which is not only singular in it's issues than the rest of the world (and I will give the example of Brazil, where I live, that even though we have some similarites when the subject is racism, we live in a all togheter different reality than in the US, so our racism conjuncture is another beast, brazilian black movements do give a damm about representation in movies and TV, but in a japanese videogame? Not at all), even more different in Japan, where this issue is much less present (not saying there isn't black racism in Japan, but the police doesn't kill people because of their skin color, like in the US and Brazil).
Tldr: you are creating an issue that is unilateraly an US view of the black racism issue, that is diferent in Japan, so it doesn't make sense to point fingers at Nintendo for not seeing the issue as you do

Chances of this guy getting banned?

I'm saying that you are consuming willingly the product of another country. Demanding they change it because of issues relating to specifics about your culture, instead of theirs, is a colonialistic mentality.
Edit: adding more, this delves into the "white savior" mentality, in which you are dictating other cultures views based on your own. It's very agressive.

Neoxon is one of the woat posters on Era.

Dude constantly shuts down any conversation with "well actually". His new "diversity manager" shtick is just something he realizes people actually give him time of day for once.

[Rahxephon91]

I mean this is the forum that decreed that JRPGS like Persona needed more diversity so I don't know what anyone would expect.

I don't think they get the point that it's not that Nintendo shouldn't have more diverse characters, but instead that it should come as no surprise they are not at the same level on the issue because well the issue isn't the same in their culture.

[naff]

lol, why is the issue different in their culture? the japanese treat their indigenous minorities like shit just like western nations, avoid teaching history in their schools that includes atrocities they committed against their neighbours in ww2 and continue to be pretty weird about any representation beyond mono ethnic norms

[Rahxephon91]

I mean I’m not saying you should excuse Japan. They seem to have their own fucked up issues. An outsider looking in, their super homogeneous culture seems rather problematic. They also seem to be behind the rest of the world when it comes to issues like gay rights and men and women's equality. But also I don’t know what the social issues of Japan are.

But at the same time, I’m not going to expect their pop culture to have a good grip on issues facing America. I’m not expecting the homogenous culture’s pop media to really be on the level when it comes to diversity. An issue we as the melting pot of the world still are having issues with. I’m also not going to take issue with Smash not having the best representation when it’s pulling from years of that countries pop culture. One to me only recently has moved past the 80s action movie store types of minorities. It's ignorance to me. That's the issue.

[benjipwns]

It's just kinda weird to frame it specifically as "anti-blackness", when as somebody in the thread noted, the problem would be a broader ethnocentric xenophobia. And specifically a Smash Bros. problem, when it's industry wide.

Someone brought that up and Neoxon's response was just "well, if they want to make their own thread hispanics and others can do so."  Great attitude!  Did you forget you are the forum appointed school marm of race issues?  Perhaps there is a power disparity from a thread you make and a thread a lowly plebeian makes?

Only Reset type crazies are idle enough to need or even think about representation in a Smash Bros game. Even if they wanted to add a black character, pickings that make sense are slim. OP is delusional with his suggestions. They pretty much boil down to adding a black character for the sake of it, which they'd probably turn around and have another problem with how he or she was handled.

Having said that, the perfect character that does make sense to Nintendo's history is the one and only Mike Tyson. Nintendo needs to get him back on board.

Gay train hobo cap is actually a pretty cool setup.

They should give him HIV to complete the stereotype combo. I’m surprised that a leftist is okay with a Megacorporation exploiting the pride month in such a blatant way, but eh...

At least the Black Captain America was a sincere effort.

From the hidden thread:

I don’t know if this is the best place to mention it, nor am I the person for it, but I feel like the mental health thread needs like... a glue to hold it together? I was peeking in there and it’s mostly depressed people just talking past each other and not really engaging in trying to help one another. Not that people with severe depression can necessarily have the capacity to help others (and that’s fine), but it feels like the thread needs someone in there who wants to engage with people in a more positive manner.

I dunno, it just made me kind of worried because it feels like a depression spiral in there.

There used to be a particular user who filled that role, but they've been permanently banned for a while now.

And this isn't an attempt to relitigate a ban, it's just a statement of fact.

This post would make more sense if the original question was "why isn't there more korean representation in smash"?
but it wasn't.

When you buy a japanese product, that's what you get. And if you want to talk about representation you should probably do it from a japanese point of view, and it should PROBABLY not be done with the usual imperialistic 'murican cultural lense.

Afaik do they like to call themselves distinguished mentally-challenged fellow on WSB, so I guess that's where the dismissing of concerns of ableism comes from? But no one in the thread was even talking about that.
