Yet they praise themselves as inclusive, claim they are representing diversity and different cultures but they do zero research and just make a lazy ripoff from killmonger over and over
They have so many options but dont want to take the time to learn They have the cruddy, 360 waves, curls, finger coils, bantu knots, 2 strand twists, senegalese twists and more
Well likely because for so long game developers thought that black men only had 3 hair styles, buzz cut, afro, and dreadlocks. Turns out there is a fourth. 😅
Yeah they do. They just don't realize it's a problem until it's pointed out to them. But just more variations. More options. Is that so much to ask for?
16k views and only 650 likes?! I’m a person of colour and this is a subject that has bugged me for decades. Even games with a near enough unlimited budgets like FIFA have neglected afro hairstyles forever. The majority of the hair models for black men don’t even have a shape up!!!
He’s rite the same hair style for black characters for a while now that means Dev don’t understand diversity in hair in the black culture this issue was cover last week on The Black Hokage RUclips channel Dev need to talk to black barbers🤔
It's the equivalent of the dreamworks smarmbrow. It's lazy short hand for 'edgy and cool.' It's been used for woman cyberpunk character 'personality' aesthetic for a long while.
It’s simple, it’s the closest design to have white hair. Having a fade, waves, etc is seen as lesser and unoriginal and to them makes a character generic as if they were an NPC.
This hair style is similar to the trend of every game needing an edgy multi color haired character. Its fine when one or two games do it but when you can see the blanket lack originality, its time for some more innovation 💡
@Engel990 that wasn't the question IGN said this hair cut it over used Black Panther came out it 2018 about 6 years ago their have been 3 character with that hair style Would you define that as over used?
Weird that he’s so against it all of a sudden when he was defending it so vehemently the last time dude on the middle right brought it up during the Spider-Man 2 launch.
It's just his opinion and he has a right to be heard. Such as yourself, if there are things in the gaming industry you don't like, then please let it be known.
Them: We need more black Characters *Puts more black characters in games* Them: They all have the same hairstyle you can't win. SMH btw its a cool hairstyle
Killmonger rolling over in his grave thinking this wasn't the lesson he wanted to teach 😂
lmao
Not that he wanted to teach anything. He was a vengeance obsessed killer who tried to set an entire country against the rest of the world.
“Throw me in the ocean like my ancestors for they knew death was better than overused hair styles”
bwahahahhaa
@@captaintalon4485 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Game Devs pickin black hair options like a multiple choice question
😂😂😂
If your unsure always pick "C"
Of the characters mentioned, only the Valorant character is black. Eddy Gordo is Brazilian, and Sargon is Persian (obviously).
@azalago They're are still black Brazilian is a nationality not race.
Lol
Cornrows and Dreads are always done dirty in video games, smh. That needs to change.
EXACTLY AND PLAYED OUT
That’s because they’re dirty
They make it look so bad
Ive never even seen a black person have that hairstyle in real life. Not even once lol
Same
Me neither, but it's a game, so it doesn't need to reflect reality.
@@focabox5594 but it should be likable and to be honest this hairstyle has become the afro to Gen Z. It needs to stay in 2018.
I’ve seen it once. ONCE.
Only on pintrest 😅
man, they found 1 hairstyle they could make and haven't put it down since LMFAO
They really do need more haircut designs for black characters, it's like every game dev watched Black Panther and just decided that's all they know.
Interesting. Now talk about devs' obsession with the side-cut, "I'm a total lesbian" butch hairstyle for every "modern" girl character ever as well..
A lesbian character can have more than one hairstyle. A lesbian character can be femme
@@CelticX7because he’s not a lesbian? So why would he call it out
not everything is a narrative. what you're doing is just conformation bias lol@@CelticX7
Here for comments.
don't like the way you said it but you are right, they gotta move on from that look
It's like the time devs been giving females characters the shaved side head hairstyle left and right.
miles had no reason to get dreads😆🤣
Ikr? If anything, he should've gotten 360 waves.
When Eddie is released - he will have his T7 skin - with the green and gold and dreadlocks. Just like Paul Phoenix having his high top.
Just realized Varl from horizon forbidden west has the same haircut as well.
While I'm tried of this hair style, it's also better than the those colored long locs we've gotten for years.
Yet they praise themselves as inclusive, claim they are representing diversity and different cultures but they do zero research and just make a lazy ripoff from killmonger over and over

You can tell the black dude got the job via positive discrimination
😂
The miles morales one didnt make sense. He shouldve had waves and mask with a durag
Laziness lol. Just have actual black developers and correspondence to see cool haircuts. Or atlesst varied lmao.
Shoulda had the Black Hokage on this pod lol
The Fourth BIack Hair Nation has risen.
Gotta appreciate that Eddy Gordo getting it was the final straw for about everyone.
Proly cuz They never met a real black dude.
Wow! Even IGN is having a conversation about it.
Because it the only black hairstyle it got. 😂 many were complaining about the usual fade, afro and dreadlocks. 😂
they are far more black hairstyles
@@mandown5599 No there isn't, they are simply embellishments to basic fades.
@@escapedcops08 ay, cómo estás incorrecto
@@escapedcops08line up 10 people with locs. Bet not one has this style and at least 5 different styles of locs
@@escapedcops08yes there is what are you talking about
This is facts tho. As a black guy, this haircut is literally so overplayed. Give it a rest PLEASE
People just want more variation, and more options if they are creating a character in a game. Not a big deal.
Only NBA2K does black hair justice. Japanese devs however have NO clue so they get a pass. But changing Miles Morales' hair is a huge let down.
Game devs these days only seem to know just one black man hairstyle 🤦🏾♂️
Reminds me of the GTA 4 days, where every character had a buzzcut, Red Faction, Infamous, etc. lazy designs
Well likely because for so long game developers thought that black men only had 3 hair styles, buzz cut, afro, and dreadlocks. Turns out there is a fourth. 😅
This has been one of your better conversations.
They're trying to be hip and inclusive
No they're not, that's the point. They aren't including other possible hair styles
Hey white guy, everything isn't about inclusion its just everyday people.
Even ign is talking about it that's how u know it's getting outta hand
Preach‼️ I have a suggestion, hire more people of color for developing game so it won't be an issue‼️ Representation & Originality Matters‼️Thank You.
Game developers have been notorious for not having any real black hair styles in any games.
At least blade didn't do it
Give it time
....yet. He has a new game over at Bethesda, right? Watch him have it there
Yet
let this man cook. LET. HIM. COOK.
It’s called the killmonger effect
The white dudes def feel uncomfortable
Yeah they do. They just don't realize it's a problem until it's pointed out to them.
But just more variations. More options. Is that so much to ask for?
idk, they probably just don't have that experience so they have less to say. Makes sense that they're listening to what Jada and Akeem have to say.
Its the DEI standard for a light skin brother. Light enough and black enough. Just my thought.

It’s true we hardly rock the hairstyle 😭😂 all my aunties got the black game character hairstyle
This and more range of skin tones fr
Because they have no black friends
Meanwhile Japanese characters have ridiculously different hairstyles
It's now in Starwars!!!
it’s not a bad looking cut just overused
WoLong Fallen Dynasty has the best dreadlocks out of any game I've played.
This has Sweet Baby Inc. written all over it 😅
You will NEVER see another black person in real life walking around with Comb over Dreadlocks.
3:09- No one tagged IGN for their opinion on anything.
One word: Killmonger.
Gotta make the alphabet club feel special that's like there go to hair cut.
Didn't you already have a video addressing this issue?
Yall need 2 watch rdcworld1 coverage of this 😆 🤣 😂
Why Sargon from pop has that hair, hes persian.
He’s rite the same hair style for black characters for a while now that means Dev don’t understand diversity in hair in the black culture this issue was cover last week on The Black Hokage RUclips channel Dev need to talk to black barbers🤔
T8 also messed up Paul's hair which way worse than Eddy but otherwise the game is 10/10
Remember Eddy from his Tekken 3 ending?
That should've been his look for this game.
He now looks like a The Boys hero...
It's the equivalent of the dreamworks smarmbrow. It's lazy short hand for 'edgy and cool.' It's been used for woman cyberpunk character 'personality' aesthetic for a long while.
Why is this even a trope in the first place?
Yes bring back sgt frog afro stryle
3:33 thank you. This was it. I’m happy for anything new that’s added.
Strap in, these comments are going to get wild.
They keep giving these characters the Bangalore lol
Why all the complaining this is an amazing hairstyle lol.
This hairstyle is similar to the spiky haired protagonist. A classic look for video game and comic book characters.
Thanks Beyond for bringing attention to the on going struggles Black hair styles still have to contend with. ✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿
It's especially bad when the internet is a thing. Like the research you need to do is minimal.
It's the side cut for black male characters lol
Black hokage been saying this for a while now
Thank you I’ve been noticing that too. They need to fix the hair for black characters ASAP.
Peak journalism
guys , Eddy can change his hairstyle, just like Paul
Bro he been rocking the same hairstyle as the characters for years and he don’t even have locs you can’t talk about the hair
It’s simple, it’s the closest design to have white hair. Having a fade, waves, etc is seen as lesser and unoriginal and to them makes a character generic as if they were an NPC.
That hairstyle keeps ruining characters for me, why is it so freaking overused man and not my boy Eddy bro his OG hairstyle was so sick 😭
Answer: Killmonger
That haircut gives you +5 DMG and plot armor.
Okay, but why half shaved hairstyles for women characters nowadays?
Because they think y'all are obsessed with killmonger that's the simple answer.
This hair style is similar to the trend of every game needing an edgy multi color haired character. Its fine when one or two games do it but when you can see the blanket lack originality, its time for some more innovation 💡
Just watch the guy on the left it makes the video way funner to watch
That hairstyle is cool but it’s just overused. They put it on miles for no reason tho
Literally like 5 characters in 6 years isn't "overused"
Its 5 characters in less than 3 years
@@thaneros.........do you consider that overused?
How many black main protagonists have there been the last 3 years?
How many Black main protagonists have then been in the last 5 years?
And not side characters
@Engel990 that wasn't the question
IGN said this hair cut it over used
Black Panther came out it 2018 about 6 years ago their have been 3 character with that hair style
Would you define that as over used?
the second guy voice makes my brain melt, is he a woman or a man?
Bro its better than the afro or corn roll they always give us
Gaming journalism
Sargon's hairstyle really annoyed me.
Bring Back The Buckwheat
It could be worst they could be complaining about why all female video game characters look androgynous AF now 😂
He’s speaking fax lmao every black character got that same hair style
Eddy always had dreads what are you talking about
Not that style though
Eddy usee to have a full head set of locs. Now they gave him that overused hightop locs with a fade.
Simple Game Development do NOT have Dreads…
Dont Know ask the people they use for the models in game... they use the same hair satyle
Weird that he’s so against it all of a sudden when he was defending it so vehemently the last time dude on the middle right brought it up during the Spider-Man 2 launch.
It’s trending.
Alright let's just stick to the afro hairstyle
It’s better then the Afros they used to give us in games a while back
Nah this is confirmation bias. Y'all arent complaining about other hairstyles being repeated.
It's just his opinion and he has a right to be heard. Such as yourself, if there are things in the gaming industry you don't like, then please let it be known.
No the other hairstyle has been overused as much as this one….lol people have a right to complain
Def the modern day "braids"
5:09 TF2 staring from the background 👀
Them: We need more black Characters
*Puts more black characters in games*
Them: They all have the same hairstyle
you can't win. SMH btw its a cool hairstyle
EXACTLY!!!!
It looks cool, though
