    Now, unless the trailer is showing a lot of restraint, the game does not really seem to capture the Saints Row vibe very well. But of course, the chuds get angry at non-white dudes, in SAINTS ROW of all games?

      there's a real dynamic in these games where creators will put POC characters just for broader appeal, but also not put any effort into the story or game (because whites won't play a POC protag, and POC will automatically play it because they're starved for representation), and as a result, POC-heavy games often end up being really bad. Which actually hurts it even more, because now everybody associates POC characters with milquetoast cringe-inducing dialogue.

      Part of it is also just that liberals suck ass at making things cool

      Racism is a huge part of it, but Johnny Gat was Asian, and he looked visibly non-white to me (either Asian or Latino). But I'm sure if there was a badass Black character it'd still cause some butthurt.

        But where Saints Row falls short in actually good representation, it makes up for in dressing up in a rabbit suit, having a gun that shoots explosions, and the opposite of a game that's all brown.

      Yeah, overall it just looks bland and not really like a Saints Row game.
