[@TheKgr1967]

If they made a decent game, with interesting, well written characters, then race representation wouldn't be a thing...

[@papieatsnoodles4952]

Because the world doesnt revolve around the USA. 😂 There are so many other fascinating countries with rich interesting cultures out there, that race representation actually matters.

[@FrankRiverfr]

nothing to do with COD being a decent game. Bro every war has a shit ton of countries involved, each one with it's own language and culture, what i'm trying to say is that you can make a shitty war game and still have it take place in various countries, languages, etc, due to the nature of these conflicts :)))

[@centurionvael4449]

Unlike most of these people in the lime light I never noticed or cared about who was in a film or video game. More people should be like Morgan Freeman, stop talking about race. Just make good entertainment without pushing politics or race. That is all we want.

[@Filip2142]

That's true, and it's funny too because there's no mexican/latino race. I hate to break it but according to science, not politics he is just a white dude. No one in Europe calls Italians, Romanians, or Spanish people different races. The person making that conclusion here would be laughed at.

@@SirStrugglesAlotpeople like to be represented. It’s easy to say that it doesn’t matter from the perspective of a person who has historically always been represented, but it does matter It’s evidenced by the fact that there is damn near always enormous outrage when a protagonist isn’t white/straight/male etc.

[@craigthebrute6032]

@@podomuss I think the point most are getting across when they say "it doesn't matter" is not that it doesn't matter but that it shouldn't be the focus. We have seen a lot of characters in modern entertainment that are thrown in just for the sake of "diversity" that ruin a story because their writing is crap. People just want good stories, and if it can represent, then great.

[@podrekreinhard]

I dont get it. Cod has had protagonists speak Russian, Polish, French, German, and Spanish, with both Reyes and Ramirez being hispanic player characters. Great actor, great character, but not the first hispanic protagonist nor the first to speak a different language for the majority of a game requiring subtitles. And as for the people of color thing, is the actor who plays reboot Gaz suddenly white?

[@nomicnevermic]

Reboot Gaz is obviously not white, but still represents a British man. The thing is, in order to conform to modern woke standards, they will tell you that Alejandro is the first representation of a different race in CoD. Even though that's both false and irrelevant. Also, a lot of modern non white actors put themselves on the spotlight as representatives of their races and ethnicities, even though that's far from the reason they have their roles.

[@onekill31]

Yes Call of Duty is diverse even to its early days.

[@rayweaver8295]

They don't care because it makes people feel warm and fuzzy inside and they know most people aren't going to think twice about how wrong the statement is. All they care about is the esg score. The entirety of the entertainment industry is infected with this nonsense. Every black actor in a movie now is pretending they are breaking barriers for being the first black actor to star in any given specific role. As if anybody cares.

[@learsisalotiv1625]

LET'S GOOO 🎉💖

[@alexnope2223]

We are happy and we like him because he is a great character. There is no barrier or collective belief amongst players that good leads have to be of any specific race. Alejandro is a spec ops badass in a game about being a spec ops badass. His story feels fleshed out and solid, and his character development makes you feel attached. When they write characters specifically to BE a brown hero just because they are brown people don't care, because it's bad writing. Now for a spin off where Alejandro and Tu Lam team up to take down North Korea... or whomever.

[@LuisGuerrero007]

He is right, but the characters have to be well written and have a purpose in the story or you’d have a vanguard or cod ww2 situation. I’m all for diversity, but don’t confuse it with tokenism.

[@KmartKingpin]

Yet another reporter instilling liberal questions where it doesn't belong. The correct answer should've been "representation doesn't affect gameplay, so you have a less propagandized question for me to answer about the game?"

[@anthonyvasquez7062]

Given where the storyline took place for this iteration of Modern Warfare, I thought it was well done in that it took place in a hotspot of the world that’s usually overlooked in video games as a setting, typically reserved for movies and such. I was digging the Sicario film vibes from this game, well done.

[@beatle7809]

While a lot of devs pander these days. As someone who grew up in Mexico. I was excited with how they designed the maps and campaign locations. The team did a real good job.
