As someone who's engaged to a black woman, I can tell you 100% for sure you're wrong and that's a disgusting/primitive opinion to have.Jacqui was and has never been sexualized to the point of de-humanization like Jade (Google it, that’s the only time people like black women)
I’m obviously against that happening, but it does. For your future wife’s sake, please educate yourself on racismAs someone who's engaged to a black woman, I can tell you 100% for sure you're wrong and that's a disgusting/primitive opinion to have.
PPPPS: Can we bring up Jax who people love?Here we go...
Something very troubling goes on in this community where Jacqui's mere presence in the cast seems to irk some so much to the point of rage. This started BEFORE Upgraded was added, BEFORE we even knew what she’d play like or what her skins would be like in MK11
It’s OK to not be fan of Jacqui or not want to play her, it's ok to hate playing against Upgraded and wanting her to be nerfed...That's all fine. BUT the constant outcry to try to convince every1 of how "uncool" Jacqui is & how "nobody wants to play her" so that she won't make it in future games comes from a RACIST place. And this excuse to have her banned from tournaments when we've had way more broken characters...so that finally she will be "deleted from the game"….comes from a RACIST place
PS: Stop hiding behind "But I like Jax!" cause 1) Jax is a klassic character who obviously will always be around & 2) the racism that black women experience is an entirely different monster. This community uses Jax like that one black friend they may have IRL to excuse their racism
PPS: Do not bring up Jade because 1) many people still pretend she isn't black cause “she's Edenian" & she has a more "acceptable" features (lighter skin, straight hair, etc), & 2) Jacqui was and has never been sexualized to the point of de-humanization like Jade (Google it, that’s the only time people like black women) so she never built up a fanbase
PPPS: Yes, Jacqui should be nerfed
Jade isn't human she is Edenian... has never been sexualized to the point of de-humanization like Jade
6 arms thank you very much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!4 armed fighter who carries a bag full of weapons with various magical properties
MK11 Jacqui is a kickboxing military woman with robot legs & fights using plasma weapons. I think that should be considered at least as cool as a gunslinger or archerI think NRS is who truly hasn't done her justice in making her stand out, even comparing her to some of the newcomers from both games.
We got:
Jacqui and Cassie are kind of bland with both their outfits and personalities. Their movements even outright steal things from their parents. The writers made Cassie "funnier" at least in MKX. They don't do much to make them visually interesting, which is strange because some of Jacqui's concept art in MKX is insanely cool. Not saying some aren't racist and fuck them obviously, but to act like that's why most people don't like her is so stupid. Most people who don't like Jacqui are probably fans of Jax. Why? Because Jax is more interesting.

These statements say way more about you than it does anyone else tbh. Really really weird, maybe normal people don't even think about a person's, much less a fictional character's race before deciding if they like them. The outliers to this rule are obviously trash and are rightfully shut down promptly as they should be.(Google it, that’s the only time people like black women)
I will say Jacqui is way way way cooler in this game than in MKX, would have liked to see some stuff closer to that concept art though. Maybe less militaristic.MK11 Jacqui is a kickboxing military woman with robot legs & fights using plasma weapons. I think that should be considered at least as cool as a gunslinger or archer
But anyway, point is it’s fine to not be a fan. But how much her presence enrages people even pre-Upgraded to the point that people bring up in random threads “remove Jacqui from the series!!!” is a huge red flag
Color-blindness would only work in a non-racist society unfortunately. I’m with you if you believe that’s how it should be, but it’s a very damaging mentality to have in the world we live in today cause it ignores the hardships black people experience & closes doors for discussion (for example, a colorblind person in theory wouldn’t notice that black people are more commonly targeted by the police). It’s rly a complicated issueThese statements say way more about you than it does anyone else tbh.

Watch the fucking 2 minute video before you comment.Damn man, when did REO turn into a fucking scrub? Dude use to be a fucking beast.
I'm not an ignorant shmuck, thanks. You just can't go around making ridiculous inflammatory umbrella statements like you're currently spouting. Ignored.I’m obviously against that happening, but it does. For your future wife’s sake, please educate yourself on racism
I mean, in essence you're right. The overwhelming majority of poeple don't actively think about a person or character's race when deciding if they like them, yet race plays a parte in that anyway, ant that's part of the damn problem.These statements say way more about you than it does anyone else tbh.

But what can you do about it? Other than what is already being done, as in banning racist assholes, what is there to be done? Nothing anyone says or does can stop racists from being racists unfortunately, only good people can take care of each other.I mean, in essence you're right. The overwhelming majority of poeple don't actively think about a person or character's race when deciding if they like them, yet race plays a parte in that anyway, ant that's part of the damn problem. Calling out specific examples of racism on the spot is the only measurable way to make things better, making blanket statements does nothing. It is almost never effective to defend a generalization.
I clearly didn’t originally. As a Kitana player, I’m still mentally scarred from the dumb shit he’d post in MKX so I automatically assumed the worst.Did you watch the two fucking minute video?
He doesn't agree with banning Jacqui.
Read the entire fucking thread before you comment. I’m amazed by the number of people that talk shit before reading it all.What the fucking 2 minute video before you comment.
I'm astounded by the amount of people shitting on REO, an absolute legend in the NRS community, before watching a fucking two minute video.
Was you talking shit before watching the video LMAO!Read the entire fucking thread before you comment. I’m amazed by the number of people that talk shit before reading it all.
Exactly. Then I corrected myself. He literally did the exact thing.Was you talking shit before watching the video LMAO!
He's got 2 penises as well?6 arms thank you very much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dude literally does more work to provide knowledge to the community than most currently active players put together, and has gotten treated like a chump for years in spite of it. Will never understand it.What the fucking 2 minute video before you comment.

I read the comment where someone else called you out for being an idiot. I still wanted to comment. You realized you spoke too soon, but you still called REO a scrub without ANY KNOWLEDGE of what he even says in the video. Simply expecting people to actually watch a short video before commenting on it and shitting on the dude who made the video must be too much to ask.Read the entire fucking thread before you comment. I’m amazed by the number of people that talk shit before reading it all.
Only Jacqui players have an answer to this, because everybody else knows what's up.If Upgraded Jacqui isn't the best character in the game right now, then I'd love to know who is.
