    ... I literally just said it in the very paragraph. A primarily white neighborhood will have less people have other ethnicity. A video game may simply choose to have a story told a certain way. FFXV wanted to tell a "Band of Brothers" tale. Is it sexist that by doing so, they elected not to have a female playable character?

    The difference is I owned up to the fact I didn't have any screenshots and only had my word. I acknowledged what people posted. You're claiming to have evidence, and you insisted any claim without evidence is insubstantial in that very thread. So where is it?
    In response to your demographic claims—which were ultimately wrong, by the way. You initially cited New York, though, apparently, you meant the city. Okay. There remains a white majority, 44.6%. Only black Americans are above half. Putting that aside, the onus is on you to prove racism. Where is your evidence? This is literally you accusing someone of stealing your computer than demanding they prove they didn't instead of providing some sort of evidence they did.

    Alas, if you want proof. Look no further than the BLM movement who claimed non-violence yet shouted "die pigs die". How about Linda Sarsour, proud feminist who supports Sharia Law? Or Anita Sarkeesian, arguably the most prominent accuser of sexism in video games yet she's been debunked numerous times. Now before you go on accusing me of dismissing racism or sexism entirely. None of these people or movements mean it doesn't exist. It simply depicts a bias, especially in media coverage.

    So you're telling me that the lack of representation in the media, Hollywood, the music industry, has nothing to do with racism but there are just "more white people"? Despite the fact these industries thrive in the capitals where racial diversity is at its highest? Despite the consistent whitewashing of movie characters? Despite the abundance of artists? There just aren't enough people?

    I'm still waiting on those statistics or anything resembling the evidence you supposedly have.

    bloop.
    Really? BLM is what you want to use to make your point about a lack of discrimination? Are you sure about that?

    Nor does any of that support what you say. All you've done is name some figures in various movements. What does that have to do with racism being incorrectly perceived as a problem? You admit yourself their existence doesn't negate the existence of these issues, so what does?
