This is the first I've heard of it, so tell me - is she? The character of Tiny Tina is "white girl uses craaaazy black lingo".Ĭurrently debating whether or not Tiny Tina is racist with some people.
Anthony Burch February 3, Context actually doesn't matter. Anthony Burch February 3, Isn't it also a little weird to imply that only black people can say "crunk"?
Anthony Burch February 3, Or is it only racist when Tina is white? Or because you think people don't actually say "badonkadonk?" Mike Sacco February 3, I don't see how that's "all there is," nor how "badonkadonk" is like blackface. the slang is not only outdated and exaggerated, it's all there is. Malcolm Christiansen February 3, Its exaggerated stereotypical low class "black" lingo that with Tina amounts to verbal blackface. Anthony Burch February 3, I think I might have some bad news about those people you know then
Anthony Burch February 3, Have you never met white people who use that kind of language? Tina is based on several I know personally. Mike Sacco February 3, You find it inherently racist that she uses black lingo? Why? Mike Sacco February 3, Or, rather, your writing of the character is. Mike Sacco February 3, She's a "divisive" character because the character is actively racist. Anthony Burch February 3, I think you're misunderstanding. Anthony Burch February 3, I do appreciate the feedback, but yeah - a lot of people love her, some find her irritating as hell. Tina's divisive - I'm okay with some people hating her. Malcolm Christiansen February 3, That's my acknowledging your criticism and dismissing it. Malcolm Christiansen February 3, btw not sure if that was a trenchant defense or a haggard "well it's like that now so get used to it" Anthony Burch February 3, Hey big fan of BL2's writing here also, loved Handsome Jack, TT was a profound misstep & made me uncomfy thanks The argument on Twitter, which ends with Burch saying he’ll consider changing her, is as Well, it's not going to.
