White GTA RP streamer gets called out in-game for doing digital blackface in NoPixel

[CreeperBlocks]

The reason the dude called him out was because the guy had a bad interaction with another of the streamers character's 2 months ago and was angry about it and wanted revenge. alot of Petty people on NP.

I don't think a white person RPing as a black character is wrong unless it's in bad faith. I'm actually more interested in what the black people in the NoPixel community feels about Penta's character. Anyone know?

I asked because it's something I've been having doubts over, since I had seen people in Twitter saying playing PoC in games could be racist and I wanted to know from PoC who also play games. Wasn't trying to flame anything.

I don't act like a caricature with the character, honestly I don't even act since I don't really RP.

I think it's ridiculous. People shouldn't feel guilty over playing as Bayek in Assassin's Creed, Alloy in Horizon, or Lee in Walking Dead or whatever. If it's because you're making someone who is a different gender or race, even still. I stand by what I said, don't be a caricature.

If anything, I wish there was more Latin/Hispanic representation in games media.

There's a meaningful difference between playing a character in a video game who has their own voice and script, and actually voicing and performing that character yourself, as a caricature, to a live audience. That is pretty much minstrel show shit.

Hmm a white guy affecting black stereotypes to get a laugh out of a live audience. Why does this sound so familiar?

Yes, and we agree. I'm not sure what you're getting at.
