he will mostly likely be white

Gaming has good and bad sides just like everything else. The key is how good and bad are those sides. For example, some games have a bad side with players that like to fight a lot. This is common in games. Understand for a lot of gamers this is not a big deal; however, for youth who are new to the game or even gaming in general this can be frustrating. There are times when you want to avoid the bad sides all together. There are times when the good outweighs the bad. If this happens and there are no problems with the game itself; then the bad side is just that one little fly in your room which is no big deal. Caution: If the bad outweighs the good, I would strongly recommend avoiding that game. Another aspect that people will nag a game developer or creator about is representation. Should I say, a lack of representation which is not limited to race, body type and message in the game. If you are able to customize your character, then of course you will not have a problem with representation. There is a problem in some games where they don't represent strong and smart females, minority females and males, big, small, tall, and short females and males. Notice how I didn't put "males" after female for strong? That's because males in games are ALWAYS represented as strong and smart. In games that show a male strong and smart, he will mostly likely be white, tall, thin, movie star looking and buff. You will rarely see him be a minority, short, chubby, not buff, nerdy looking, while still being strong and smart. You see this even LESS for females. Some females in games are also white, tall, thin and strong while showing skin like no tomorrow. You only see THESE females in MMORPG games (Massively Multiplayer online Role Playing Game) though. RPG games are meant for fantasy worlds where you mostly fight people and monsters. Of course the females' stats will be strong but they won't look strong. http://secoaccommodation.com http://averydi.com http://serinfox.com http://jydznb.com http://neokmoms.com http://dsjvoice.com http://bbcowboy.com http://vidarbr.com http://bizcyc.com http://adamsue.com http://anankes.com http://brunolope.com http://clionamullen.com http://corallyn.com http://dev-hps.com http://ericpeck.com http://fatflusherdietreview.com http://finsers.com http://hautell.com http://hexime.com http://id-theft-solutions.com http://jocktor.com http://joysumo.com http://karendochterman.com http://limpwear.com http://mariansmarineservices.com http://nighbiz.com http://on-wings.com http://park-win.com http://pecanfit.com http://pixysnap.com http://rtstc.com http://rubendiazforadvocatenyc.com http://sportawa.com http://stylerlife.com http://taggeld.com http://polishamericansociety.com http://moontoit.com http://webiscool.com http://anabellbloom.com http://dmvtechnicalservices.com http://bestmanilaproperty.com http://rahulmukherjee.com http://znheavymachinery.com http://jimcrocefans.com http://cwlandscapesinc.com http://bridesofkerala.com http://treasure-at-tampinescondo.com http://amyallgeyer.com In most games, when they add a character for you to play they always add a white male first, then a white female, then a black male, and then a black female. They don't even really add people who are mixes of races or in between. When it comes to the black characters they only add one shade of "black" or "African American" and not every black person on earth is that shade. In games, the majority of the characters are always thin and tall. You don't really see characters that are short and thin, tall and chubby, short and chubby, etc. There are a lot of people who aren't thin and who aren't tall. Then lastly, there is the mental message that goes with the gender, race, and body type. What do I mean by the mental message? Some games send an indirect message about that character being strong and smart or something else. While for other games it can be a mental message either on purpose or not. For example, in the game you play and you see a minority female who is short, chubby, nerdy looking and her traits are to be a goof ball, naive, and dumb. It could send a mental message to you that people that look like her are just like her. They're not smart, they aren't thin, and are not tall. They did poorly in school, etc. etc. So you start thinking those things based on not only seeing this in that game over and over again, but when it happens in other games too. The worst part is NONE of these things are true. Yes, some people aren't thin, tall, and maybe not that bright; but not EVERYONE is like this! You do have short chubby minorities who are smart as all get out! You have all kinds of combinations of people who ARE smart! Of course, all these things about gender, race, body type, and messages aren't just in gaming; they're in movies, TV shows, ads, etc. What's interesting is that some of the creators who make the games, movies, TV shows, ads, etc., are minorities themselves and they make up the population of the earth.
