@soft_chomps@glitch.social @Efi huh...that is kinda weird to think about; there was only one person of colour in MGS1, who was already dead by the time you found them, and they were replaced by a shapeshifting imposter who if the small still image you get of Decoy Octopus is anything to go by (providng that's not also a disguise too) they were also white originally... so... huh... guess Kojima was thinking you can't do the Black Guy Dies First trope if he's already dead?...
@Nine @soft_chomps @Efi there's also Vulcan Raven
relatedly I'm still upset that Twin Snakes cut the muktuk eating contest line from the dialogue there
@theoutrider @Nine @soft_chomps oh, you missed we started the conversation with that
@Nine @soft_chomps I don't think Kojima was even aware black people were real in the 90s
