Borderlands 2′s Tiny Tina accused of conveying racism

Oooooold

The guy that accused lost his job.

Even if I'm against any kind of racism. People sometimes takes things too far.

That accusations are plain bullshit. As is the latter bandwagon of extreme senseless feminism some pages as RPS have jumped on.

Ok, so a white girl talking like a black person is racist? THen 90% of today's white youth are racist, because it seems like everyone talks like that now. What's next? Moxxi is Sccoter, his sister, and Moxxi are racist because they have southern drawls? Because everyone knows that if you're a southerner ou support slavery, and that's just racist

People will always find something to pitch a bitch about. Even if its something the most of us all know and love. Even for a fair length of time now. And then suddenly someone wants to go and start something and find people to follow behind them solely on the grounds that they love to find something to fight about. No point in even thinking about changes. There will always be something someone won't like or at least claim to, and then if you actually make changes you're giving into the accusations in the first place. Tina isn't racist, she wasn't written to be racist, so that should be that.

Conveying a racist stereotype, not racism.

I find it pathetic. If you think someone "sounds" black, then that in itself is racist. God, a lot of these anti-racists are racist themselves.

People need to learn Tina was based off of Anthony's sister. They themselves have an African background somewhere down the line.

Yeah, that's just about the most ridiculous thing I've heard all week. It takes a professional offendee to think something as absurd as that up.

People aren't happy enough to just play the game and get free shift codes and prefer to instead find stupid things to fight about? ._.

Another thing I do not get, we talk so much shit about "freedom of speech". When racism is aimed at someone, that is when it becomes wrong. But I do not see why an M rated game can have violence, blood, guts and gore, but yet, we cannot have uncensored sex, or racism. It is rated M for a reason. And unless the writers aim it directly at the player, I do not see a problem. But I am going off a bit. There is no way Tiny Tina conveys a racial stereotype.

14 hours too late.

I hear it first on force feed

i personally believe that thinking something is racist when its not really racist means that that person is racist. But since being racist is a big no-no they won't do it to fit into society and thus they condemn everything for being racist to lead the eyes off them.
sort of like a i'm not racist, i'm point out that this is racist and we all know people who point the fingers aren't guilty of doing it.
But i think that it takes an extreme, closet racist be find every little detail about something and convert it into racism or i'm just a tolerant person.

tiny tina is my favorite character in that game... i would hate for them to change her, shes so cute and quirky i want to have babies with her lol

Really? I mean, I know she's annoying, but I wouldn't call her offensive or racist. Just whiny babies being whiners.

Hey Ash, Watcha Racializing

I see where they get that. I also wish they would see that it's ridiculous. Clearly the issue here isn't with the kind of language that is being used, or this atrocity would have died out a long time ago. So I guess the issue that it's being used by a white girl.. written by a white man..? Now who's saying you can't do something because of the color of your skin?

people who accuse something racist are the racist one.

Why do americans think everything is racist

imagine if Roland was the one saying those things, americunts would be like "Niggah I'll sue yo ass"

Always will be people to carp about all they see.

Nooo, Tina is the character I most like in bl2, exclusively because of her crazy personality and funny dialogue, I hope they don't change how she is in future content :(

Oh my god.

Yeah and Farcry 3 was also racist.

Whatever, I saw clips of her and thought nothing of it, you gotta be kidding me, if anything thinking that she is what they say is rather racist.

Because that's not how some girls in America talk now......

Soon eating KFC while being white will be a hate crime

I've met people like her, they are not so much racist as completely annoying and slap-able.

Reminds me of the last episode of Robot Chicken with the 'dubstep' t-shirt wearing girl that gets stomped on for her txt speek.

I'm already laughing.

Just burn it all.
