Black Looks had a post bashing the new Resident Evil game for having ‘black’ zombies in the game. The article was posted by Kym Platt who is black herself. This brought a huge response from gamers of all colors. Some supportive, others not so much. Many were disrespectful comments, others were even racist in nature. This was her response to the backlash.

Never have I been so harassed and insulted, and all because I questioned the imagery in this game… The response has been horrifying… I am shocked that in the same breath some of these folks denied that Resident Evil 5 displayed racist/anti-Black imagery; they called me things like “nigger�, “bitch�, and “whore�.

…The gamers would like to intimidate me and silence me, but that’s not going to happen. This vitriol has done nothing but embolden me and my political convictions.

Well, what did you expect lady? Gaming has always been a faceless activity. Nobody cares what color the guys is on the other end of the microphone. Gamers don’t care. Gamers just want to have fun. So when you bring in the race card, be prepared for backlash. Can’t take it? Keep your mouth shut. This is a great example of inadvertent trolling. Trolling is someone who speaks to incite a reaction, a bad reaction, and thats exactly what she did. While I do agree that a lot of the comments were unnecessary and right down disgusting, the heat should of been expected.
