Out of curiosity (I'm not American), how different from the rest of the USA is the demographic of the region where TWD takes place?
Just asking because in a situation like this people aren't able to go very far, so people in Georgia in TWD are probably mostly people who already lived around there.
I have been saying ever since the release of "In Too Deep" of Michonne Miniseries that the demographics of the US population are being trans… moremitted inaccurately.
The main and secondary characters in A New Frontier are Javier, David, Kate, Gabe, Mariana, Max, Badger, Clementine, Tripp, Francine, Conrad, Eli, Eleanor and Jesus—and, somehow, only three in all of these are Caucasian-Americans, even though 63% of the US population is Caucasian-American. And, funnily enough, the three Caucasian-Americans are males and antagonists; Eli, Badger and Max.
Good. Black women in video games are under appreciated, some of the best video game characters of all time have been black women. I like that the Walking Dead is giving some love to those girls. It's a nice change of pace compared to other video games.
Also, I'm not an SJW or PC, I'm just saying it's nice to see them get some love.
"Well, aren't you...you know...urban?"
"Big black guy. This big."
"Shut up! Indian...lady."
"We can't put Rebecca in a confederate coat."
"Who? Oh, the Russkie?"
No, I wrote most of that reply (why does the size of it matters?) to address your questions. The last part about writing good characters was a no-brainer or did you expect someone or me to disagree with that?
'Demographics' are irrelevant to telling a good story, and that works both ways, so I don't really get the point of the argument nor of the thread.
Same as I don't see the point of all the blogs and articles about how HBO Game of Thrones cast isn't diverse enough yet they exist.
But how ironic that it is in most media today that you need a checklist of "must have x many people of color characters". I think everyone w… moreould agree that you should just write good characters.
So you wrote that long reply just to basically say we agree? 'Demographics' are irrelevant to telling a good story, and that works both ways, so I don't really get the point of the argument nor of the thread.

Personally I think there's a lack of French people. I mean there must have been someone on holiday there when the ZA started, right?

Alyx Vance in Half Life 2, Marlene in The Last of Us
EDIT: Just remembered, they're both played by Merle Dandridge!
