not, true, you have your detective pal in parasite eve

>>737089950
Hes one of the coolest dudes in gaming. Strong, loving dad, badass, etc. I dont see why anyone black or otherwise would be upset by his portrayal because hes a very positive character.

Barret is a soft dude underneath that hides behind a tough exterior like a turtle. A real racist Japanese character is pic related.

No wonder it shit.

>>737090070
His voice sounds like really bad Mr. T impression; the forceful gruffness and hammy delivery is embarrassing. Barret deserves a more natural voice, simple as.

Woke was around long before it was given a title
Late 70s, early 80s, if i'm not mistaken. Maybe even before that. But it gripped hard in the 90s

>>737090467
barret is a serious dude. b is one big parody. its like Boyz n the Hood vs Dont be a menace

>>737089950
Japanese don't know how to write Americans so they either just write them like a japanese character or copy what they see on TV

>>the most stereotypical nigga ass black mister t sounding mofugga with a gun obsession
Yeah, but he was cool. Maybe even the coolest character in the game.

Nobody gives a shit about stereotypes if they're portrayed positively. Nothing about Barret's personality is shown to be something he should be ashamed of, and the cast mostly welcomes his over-the-top shenanigans.

We need more cool giganiggas with a heart of gold in games and media, not less. Rarely are they not appreciated by anyone that isn't compromised one way or the other.

Yup. He's a broken buck alright.

>>737089950
Nah, Barret can actually support a family

>>737092664
No he can't. He's defined by being a terrible father. Cloud and Tifa have to take care of his daughter after FF7 because Barrett was such a deadbeat.

>>737092736
Cloud bailed too, Tifa was left to do it alone.

They should bring back mister T type of black guy in media again. He is the only one to redeem actual niggers and can even alleviate nigger fatigue from humans. I'm tired of the current black woman worship, not even black dudes like them.

>>737096206
No they don't. Don't confuse black Americans with white liberals who feel they can speak for them.

That's a level of cucked I didn't know was possible.

>>737096391
Why is gentrification in there? The whole point of criticism there is when you raise the property value of the location without raising the wages of the people who live there assuming they're hired at all. Forcing them to move out of places they always lived. That's literally Shinra 101 and the reason why everyone in the Slums hates the top siders

>>737090636
It was called PC in the 90s. That's where south park got the whole "PC Principal" thing from.
They were also making fun of it hard back then just like now. See: PCU. You get to watch david spade as an unapologetic mayflowerist, jeremy piven in a vanity project, and Happy Hogan as a completely fried out mosher, all in the same film.
Also MEATTOSSER.

>>737090049
oh wow look at that you managed to make the same exact post someone else did a whole minute later dumb reddit nigger

Remember when Cloud called him a Nigger and Barret said at least he doesn't have bug eyes?

>>737089950
Because Barret is a cool dude and clearly intended to be seen as such by the creaters.

>>737098027
Holy fuck that's funny. Does Barrett talk like that the whole game?

>>737103264
Most of it. In OG 7, you picked which party members were coming with you, so what dialogue you saw in a given scene was usually whoever you had with you rather than just everybody.
So if you wanted to see a lot of Barret, you had to bring him, and he's not as good in 7 as he is in 7r.

Did you jizz your pants when the comic relief character showed up out of nowhere 5 seconds later?

>>737095118
No he didn't, Cloud just has a job. He goes back and spends time with Tifa, Marlene and Denzel when he isn't working or dealing with weird fags like the Turks.
That's how children are supposed to be raised.

>>737099647
Dyne was white

>>737107063
Barret joined back too in DoC

>>737106848

>>737090437
Eh, Killer B isn't really racist, he too is taken seriously, the guy is just so strong he himself doesn't take many people seriously.
He's the kind of character that happens when someone combines a bunch of things they like into one character, like how hes a wrestler

>>737089950
Barret is one of the deeper characters in the game and has many sympathetic moments. When they remade the game they also made him the most handsome character in the game.

>>737090437
Bee is popular and well-liked.

>>737090643
Bee is meant to be a funny character but his character is taken very seriously in the show.

>>737106848
Do you think the remakes did anything badly?

>>737108296
A stranger that happens to have raised another stranger who just recently met a man that Barett openly hates and doesn't trust spends more time taking care of his daughter than he does
He will fob her off on literally anyone and if nobody will take her then she gets locked in a secret hidden basement not entirely unlike Fritzl, not the same either but there are similarities

>>737089950

Really? Are you sure?

>>737108641
How else could there only ever have been 1 black guy?

>>737108770
Well "guy" is gender specific and Barrett (male) had a daughter (female), so yeah. To be honest I've never played a FF game. I just knew that Barrett was a bad parent and made Cloud/Tifa take the reins, lol.

>>737109164
Well then maybe you should keep your fucking mouth shut if you don't actually know

>>737109249
How the fuck could a black guy have a white daughter? That's all I'm asking.

>>737108515

Then OP shouldn't have included an image of remake Barret, eh?
It's safer to assume he's simply retarded and means squareenix by the image he posted

>>737109454
He also abandons her after the world has been saved

>>737109602
This. In Advent Children Tifa and Cloud are more parental towards Marlene than Barrett is, and Cloud outright makes a living riding off to parts unknown.

Then shut the fuck up and stop talking about things you dont know.

Let me just get this straight. Is Barrett a farther, or not? Does he actually have a child, or is he a big cuck?

>>737107931
The only people who like Bee are people who like Hinata NTR.

>>737110413
That seems to be most of the Naruto fanbase, to be fair

>>737089950
he sounds like an 80s black guy, noone thinks that's racist.

>>737089950
Because Barrett is a well written character, him and Yuffie had the biggest glowup in the remake series.

Nojima specifically mentioned she was left behind by Cloud and Barret. She wears the same ring as Barret. Barret left her to raise their daughter alone.
