volrathxp Posted July 9, 2002 Share Posted July 9, 2002 Originally posted by BradFu Geez, this is NOT the place for discussions of what is and is not politically correct. The word crackhead is NOT a stereotype name for black people, it's a stereotype name for someone who smokes crack. If you find something offensive about this skin or the name, then you are trying to manufacture controversy, and that is totally unnecessary. Share your political and social views in some place appropriate for that kind of thing. Take the time to consider that you may be offending someone else while you jump on something you think is offensive. Very well said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarExc Posted July 9, 2002 Share Posted July 9, 2002 If his skin colour was white would anyone care, no. The only ones saying this is racist are the ones that associat crack heads with blacks because I personaly never even thought it was bad. Anyone who dresses like that usualy has a bad ass attitude and just cause he's black doesn't mean its racist. Maybe if it was called Token Black dude it wold be racist but it doesn't even say Black bad ass or black crack head so lay off. God if you wanna call people racist go to texas where they actualy hurt people that are different then them instead of crying over a freaking MODEL. PS the only people I have called crack heads have been white people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-DS-Tha Skurge Posted July 9, 2002 Share Posted July 9, 2002 Originally posted by NemoX The model itself is fine but i find the name Darth Crackhead associated with that model to be very vulgar. To those who say if this was a model of a white character with the name Darth Crackhead nobody would care, unfortunately the SAD truth is the model is not of a white character, also the term Crackhead is SELDOM associated with white people. I really hope the creator of this model changes the name because there is absolutely nothing funny about it. ps I am not white or black, i am brown(Indian). my $0.02 not where i come from m8..............in scotland crackheed(head) is usually towards white ppl........and no1 makes any rascist remarks towards ppl of different skin colour(but geeky ****s an ugly ****s get the pish taken out of them.........i kno...............its fun doing it).........and if they do no1 takes it seriously......its a joke............come on ppl....lighten up.........fir **** sake.

volrathxp Posted July 9, 2002 Share Posted July 9, 2002 Originally posted by Harukaze You know what guys? If you don't like it, don't download it. Almost everyone here is twisting the author's intent around to suit their own whims. I'm sure I too will be flamed for this but I really don't care; obviously, some people are going to be dissatisfied no matter what. To the author: do what makes you happy. You know what your motivations are, so do not let others discourage you by trying to tell you what you are saying. If you chose to go ahead with the project, or this bickering makes you chose to abandon the project, do it because it is your choice, and your choice alone. very well said Harukaze.
