Rashid , discussing about arab characters in games

[Ricepigeon]

I don't know which I find more disturbing; the fact that they revealed an arabian character on September 11th, or the massive influx of shitty "Over 9000" jokes that will accompany him?

[FeLo_Llop]

^He's Arabic, and? Just being Muslim doesn't makes him a terrorist.

Also, he seems fun to play with. It's likw an ass kicking djinn

[Gennos]

and you don't have to be a muslim to be a terrorist.
can we please not get into this? please.

[Titiln]

^He's Arabic, and? Just being Muslim doesn't makes him a terrorist.

he didnt say that

[Luis Alejandro]

Ono is a savage for revealing this character on 911

[Umezono]

Ono is a savage for revealing this character on 911

why

[inktrebuchet]

Because the average ignorant American doesn't know the difference. <and I think most people are aware of that, including Capcom.

yeah. nobody in this thread is saying all muslims are terrorists, it's just that it could be seen as tasteless to do this in the day that triggered a series of events that made several people see all muslims all terrorists

[Gennos]

it's not tasteless at all. rashid has nothing to do with 911. he is an arabian bare handed fighter with no references to islam, guns, bombs, beheading or any of the usual stereotypes of terrorists.

[Kirishima]

he is an arabian bare handed fighter

That can manifest gusts of wind with his feet.



I couldn't resist.  My apologies....

ALFRED AIRHAWK MUCH

He needs WEIBU RAIDAAA in the future.

Oh god, the image of him doing that move.

[Moon Girard]

Rashid was a leaked character wasn't it? Do you guys remember? He, Laura and Zen would be the new characters that would show up on the release roster. I seriously hope this leak is right, because it has Karin on it .

Except it didn't Rashid, Zen and Laura were the only named character on that leak Karin is from the Siliconera leak and a bunch of other fake leaks that added Rashid, Zen and Laura because the Ken Bogard leak got other thing correct.

Can you read his post?

I don't mind the "over 9000" joke(it's fun indeed...for a short short while,OK), but finding disturbing the fact an arabian character is revealed in 9/11th...It's like if a Spaniard character is revealed in 10/12th, or a Christian character is revealed in 12/25th(or another religious date which is above a pagan tradition...). Just few people will find it offensive, in before "MURRICAAAAA" posts. Those who killed that people in that day don't deserve the right to be called Muslims.

[Berry]

no references to islam, guns, bombs, beheading or any of the usual stereotypes of terrorists.

bummer

[Byakko]

Stop being dense.
He didn't say being Arabic made him a terrorist. He's saying it will nonetheless cause a lot of people to get upset about 9/11, just because he's Arabic and revealed on that date, regardless of his religion or anything political. This is a fact.

[Titiln]

Can you read his post?

i read his post and explained why it could be seen as tasteless in other posts made in this thread. other people explained why too. i'm not repeating that shit so go read them

nobody said he did. you don't need to have any explicit references to terrorism to be labeled a terrorist. being a muslim or wearing a turban is enough for some people. that's the entire fucking point

[Sinnesloschen]

Christian character is revealed in 12/25th

Oh my god lol.

[Titiln]

lmao how did i miss that

[FeLo_Llop]

Of course being muslim doesn't makes him a terrorist, what I find disturbing is people getting offended of it being revealed a 9/11th, that's all.

Christian character is revealed in 12/25th

Oh my god lol.

Jesus is born 12/25th, like Hermes(Greek Myhtology) or (from some studies, but not a final date) Buddah. There's also a Sumerian God born that day too. That's why I said that special day, just forgot to explain the reason why.

[Mgbenz]

There is a difference between a real life tragedy and a date of birth of a religious figure (which is even not the actual date).

[Gennos]

nobody said he did. you don't need to have any explicit references to terrorism to be labeled a terrorist. being a muslim or wearing a turban is enough for some people. that's the entire fucking point.

fuck them. the world doesn't revolve around them.
this character is harmlessly designed to represent bedwin arabians who live in the desert.
