Doesn't matter if you have proof and logic D4, they don't understand how evidence and reasoning works.

They changed her skin tone and there is still arguing

I wouldn't be surprised if Fujin ended up being dlc and people bitch that his ponytail isnt long enough

 

[AcCooper20]

Tanya is literally the most controversial video game character of 2015, I swear

Lol. They should embrace it and make her transexual as well

 

[Spinky]

Anybody seen her updated design in the Main Menu? She has all white eyes, her hair seems straighter and less puffy and her skin tone seems a little darker.

...Oh, they've definitely seen it.

 

[DownfouralitY]

Lol. They should embrace it and make her transexual as well

"omg we finally hav a transexual in MK EMBRACE!!"

 

[Brutal Chimney]

This is a meaningless statement if you don't reiterate what your "point" is.

its common sense i really shouldn't have to as it's a regression on character diversity plain and simple. i have a feeling you couldn't careless but others do. it has absolutely nothing to do with Edenia and i have no idea why you think anyone cares

 

[chrisisnice]

yes actually i would !! it doesn't matter if it's a real race or not it has repercussions . You my friend can try to denounce this all you want but she's a dark skinned character and that is a FACT.

If you would be mad if they make D'Vorah more of a bronze-gold in the next game instead of canary yellow you must have been really upset and offended when Shang Tsung turned from a light skinned guy in MK 1 to a darker skinned guy in MK2!!!

Wow, you must have been really upset and offended when Shang Tsung turned from a light skinned guy in MK 1 to a darker skinned guy in MK2!!!

considering i was 3 years old obviously very upset i needed my binky errrryday.

The issue is giving an originally darker skinned character lighter skin. It doesn't matter if she's black or Edenian it's the fact that they drastically lightened her skin.

And then everybody wants to act like black Egyptians don't exist.

 

[tjcombowins]

I'm not arguing on wether or not she's a dark skinned character or not. I'm telling you it doesn't matter what skin color she is because Edenians don't have a set skin tone because they are a fictional race of people, who have been shown to not only range from pale white to mahogany, but the characters themselves aren't always consistently the same color from game to game.

Sometimes Jade is lighter, some times she is darker, some times Kitana is a vague tan, sometimes she looks pale.

As far as we know, since they are entirely fabricated, Edenians could change colors like freaking chameleons or something.

Yes they are a fictional race, but Tanya is still a black fictional character.

I have to admit I was upset when they showed how she looked in the trailer first too, but then I realized she was probably unfinished and they're still working on her. Now that they've seemed to have updated her look back to what we're all used I don't understand why people are still arguing. It was literally just happiness for one page, then everything went back to life, back to reality. Lol

you ain't gonna get through to him i just wanna stick my larvasack in his mouth and be done with it mileena fatality style .

Black Egyptians are the first Egyptians, then came the white Egyptians. Tanya now looks like the first Egyptians.

its because racial tensions are high right now look whats going on in baltimore right now! it's important to not devalue someone of colour.

I'm starting to think it wasn't that her model wasn't finished, but it was just a bad design choice.

 

[zydrate101]

it was this and the fact they probably didn't think enough people would care and then BAM the locust took over outworld and like a just sindel weave whip justice was served!.

 

[AcCooper20]

Okay all this bitching and arguing goes absolutely no where. She has been redesigned, most of us like it, most of us are happy, she looks like old Tanya. Can we all agree to no more skin color/race talk in the TANYA DISCUSSION THREAD? If you would like to talk about race representation in the media then start an off topic thread and have at it.

if you don't wanna talk about race personally just don't reply to it easy as that. It's a part of the character so has it's right in the thread.

Yes i don't know what Nrs was thinking putting out Tanya's model looks like a white man. She looks like a black woman now.

 

[cfw]

It's a discussion about the design changes now, what's wrong with that?

 

[AcCooper20]

No, it has gone way beyond that

 

[zydrate101]

No, it has gone way beyond that

it doesn't matter its still a rightfully worthy topic. Race should be easy to talk about alot of people just get nervous and want to toss it aside.

 

[AcCooper20]

No its just the same people saying the same thing over and over and over and over and over again. You are not going to convince people who dont think her skin color is important that it is, and they are not going to convince you that it isnt.

obviously but thats still not your problem still has a place to be discussed wether you like how the topic is going or not.

This thread needs to stop, seriously.
