The link, if you dont care to access it, is the Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas board on Gamefaqs.com.
A short time ago (a few hours at the time of this post) some guy posted a topic about a mod to make the main charecter white.
The topic was promptly swarmed by people accusing the creator of racism.
Now, in my humble opinion, the people freaking out at the creator are rather pathetic. Who cares?
Of course, I must remember that this is Gamefaqs.com, and most of the forum posters are about 12 years old >_<
Still, you could expect better.
Ahh...LUE...how do I love thee? Let me count the ways...

Heh, Gamefaqs. Man, the good old days. I actually found NS through guys from Gamefaqs. I couldn't stand the stupidity there, so I left.
Come to think of it, I can't much stand the stupidity here, either. :D

There are a few boards that are moderatly stupidity-free, Perfect Dark Social is moderatly famous, as I recall it had its own moderator assigned to it at one point :P

Hey wait ... this thread offends me to my racial core and, thus, I declare the whole thing racist!
Oh ... n/m ... that doesn't work for me ... I have blue eyes.

*weeps for LUEshi*
I mostly went to the Halo board (where my name came from), but later roamed into the Morrowind board, then to the morrowind social board.

LUE and RI for me.
They banned me for threatening to LUEicide if they screwed with the ToS a couple days after I signed up for NS.
*sigh* I miss the days of being Annoyin Telemarketer.
Fads were so great back then.

Why would you make a mod to make the main character white? Why not make a mod to be able to have a howitzer or something?

Yeah. I miss Gamefaqs sometimes.

I miss it whenever the fads start up here on NS. They get clobbered so quickly by the mods before it gets fun...
And sadly, the fads here pale in comparison to the fads on LUE.
They weren't fads, they were massive movements that would forever blemish the internet whenever they appeared.
LUEishi has made it's mark. I remember when it started with that ONE post...wow...

Maybe the modder has an Eminem fetish? :p

Still, you could expect better."It's simply easier to identify with the character when they are the same race. When I play GTA I want to immerse myself into the action completly."
The accusations of racism were directed at that post and some posts that agreed with it. The complaints against the modification were that it made the main character's appearance sloppier than the original.

That was very offensive, it's 'Political Correctness gone Mentally Challenged' and don't you forget it. :D
