Why isn't Trevor racist?

Recommended Posts

It seems he is deranged in every aspect, Has no standarts whatsoever. so why isn't he racist?

 

Just to keep some people from whining around about it?

 

. He doesn't really take Franklin very seriously because he is just a young kid, I give him that but he is never racial or has stigmas against him,

 

It's kind of unauthentic. Just my 2 cents...

Trevor would be less believable to me if he had no virtues whatsoever and I'm glad he's not just some moustache twirling cartoon villain.

 

Furthermore, it's not uncommon for someone to take a position that you ordinarily wouldn't expect them to take. Ellen Degeneres found herself targeted by an anti-gay group who were incensed that JC Penny hired her to do ads for them. She had an unexpected supporter in right wing conservative pundit Bill O'Reilly who likened the situation to the McCarthy era political witch hunts. That doesn't necessarily preclude O'Reilly from being homophobic, but in his mind apparently, there's a line that shouldn't be crossed.

cuz r* doesnt want to piss off colored folk

 

Exactly. It would cause too much controversy. Many black people would be offended and eventually the Media would cover it, and so the game might be furthermore banned in other countries. He is more than likely racist. He has that personality. He's into far much stranger things than being a racist. We just have to pretend in our minds that Trevor is a strong racist.

Trevor is completely Hate-ist.

 

He hates people regardless of their race. gender, sexuality, political affiliation, hair colour, fashion, musical taste, hipsters etc.

 

His discrimination is all encompassing, and as such it means no one group is singled out.

 

He hates everyone, but hates them all equally. Liking it :)

Really? So in that last Civil Border Patrol mission, you just pretend that the Latino fellow (Manuel) Trevor decides to help out is actually a white guy? Okaaay.

Good god, what is wrong with people?

 

There seems to be striking lack of empathy in contemporary society.

 

There's enough bigotry out there, video games don't need to contribute. Especially considering that the 7-15 year old demographic is the most sought after.

 

 

On the other hand, if you look at movies, there's plenty of racism, misogyny, homophobia and the like. But you rarely, if ever, see those characters as the protagonist. Those characters typically get it in the end by a character everybody can rally behind.

Right?

Why would he be racist? Just because he does meth and his character is set in the desert? Racism doesn't suit his character. At least I don't see it.

Spoken like a true asshole, please explain "that personality"

 

People like you are the ones people need to avoid, not the "racists"

No? But R* doesn't have any problem pissing off 70% of america, which is rural people. I guess we see where R*'s priorities are, no? Left-winged Piers Morgan mentality. Oh well.

 

But I agree that Trevor is unbelievable. He hates rednecks with a passion. He's a Canadian homosexual. But he has no problems with any other people in the game, other than other criminals, like the lost. To think the laughable idea that a Canadian could waltz in and take over a meth area is just mind-boggling and shows R* ignorance. IRL, Trevor would've been fishing bait very quickly had he messed with the meth mafia. It's a rediculous had a grade school student waltz in and took over the coke buisness in Florida back in the 80's. Same level odf stupidity.

How can a person be a Racist when the only Race on Earth is "Human"? If your saying a White guy is from Cuacasia and so that makes him a Caucasian. Then can you show me proof that we are all not of the "Human Race". Are aliens living on Earth and if so, then if you don't like them you could be a Racist. So my "Alphabet Word's" why are you playing the "Race Card Game" and showing your not Mature enough to play this game?

 

The game is rated M for Mature. So thinking everyone on this planet is a racist becuase they are white is immature. So is thinking everyone is a different race because of skin color. But hey if your right about there being more than one race on Earth. Then do you have a book that has all the races in it with pictures? Like 1 that shows what an Arabian-Apache looks like for example. How about showing us a picture of an Iranian-African-American-Korean while your at it. Since your talking like a non educated person who doesn't understand there's only the 1 race on planet Earth.

If you look at the rampage missions, you'll see that Trevor is the victim of racial slurs - i.e. digs at Canadians!

 

I'm pretty sure Trevor is the most liberal out of all 3 protags.

 

Agreed!

I think he hates everybody with a few exceptions. If you respect him he will respect you and Franklin shows respect plus is not scared of him.

I do not understand the issue of Trevor not being a racist. Generally psychopaths are not racists, they hate everyone equally. Most racists are so, do to their political convictions which they have gained through their parents or society, Trevor is Canadian where racism is much less common than Southern United States. Trevor is also not a member of any right winged political party, and Trevor does have a very twisted sense of moral values which he hates racists and people who do not treat woman right, hipsters, etc.

Bleh, it doesn't matter who he hates. R* should worry more about sluggish controls and game breaking glitches/exploits before they get deeply concerned with a few lines of text, and how a few people may perceive them. Some people are just looking for something they can claim offends them.

 

If the devs want a certain type of person in the game, they have every right to make them how they like...and I assume they did.

Trevor isn't American, he's Canadian (not saying Americans are more racist than Canadians in any way). He didn't grow up with stereotype rednecks.

 

Plus, I don't think Rockstar would want us to play with a protag that's a racist. That would cause a sh*tload of controversy.

yeah maybe r* does piss off most people but considering how much disgusting liberals and hippies support blacks so one racial slur fro r* it would basically be a request to get the game banned

I'm asian and i found it racist that he called mr cheng a 'wide eyed' idiot COMPLETELY racist, so you win buddy

 

but not surprising you white folks find it funny and easy to insult races example an american detective tv show i saw one time where a native american was a murderer, turns out the plot was to keep land rights, i mean wtf?? that's just plain wrong, Also in family guy its ok for seth macfarlane to make over the top racist jokes NON STOP and even blow the head off a native american girl's head off, once again WTF?? if australia had tv show where someone blew off a aboriginal girls head off there would be a major uproar

 

so let me get this straight, its ok for a white guy to blow off a native american girl's head clean off but its a no no to insult [email protected] people??

 

i'm sick of the pro agenda getting their hands on: tv shows, cartoons, movies, nerdy stuff like drwho, news and now VIDEO GAMES

 

they did it on GTA4, saints row4 and NOW GTA5 with the subtle message that chops [email protected] and franklin doesn't care if people are [email protected] or not...but racism, meh its ok

 

p.s R* is one sick puppy, you can't sleep with amanda, your wife, who happens to sleep with everyone BUT you, and if you phone amanda about the tennis instructor mike doesn't care

 

yet its ok that you can switch to 'chops' body when his banging a male dog??

 

p.p.s there's no point in talking about authenticity, R* got underfire for the creation of the game 'bully' so you KNOW they're gonna keep there game less controversial as possible, i mean in 'bully' i knocked out a adult on low-tide at the beach, but R* made it you can't kill so they UNpass out when underwater

 

i mean in GTA4 and V the "LOST" biker gang has black people, aren't bikers racist? so technically since gta4 you already should have known they weren't gonna do the full blown racist angle

trevor aside, the talk between franklin and lamar was a little uneasy to hear, which was more concerning, as mentioned, trevor hates everyone and thats a good thing

But "stereo-typical rednecks" aren't the only people who can be racist. You do know that, right? And a lot of rednecks aren't even racist. You have a very ignorant view. Left-winged liberals tend to be the worst racists on earth. This is a fact. I've encountered more racism in inner cities than I've ever seen in rural places, and it was mostly black-on-white racism. Or jewish-on-white-racism. Or mexican-on-white-racism.

Well, he's Canadian. What I wonder is why he doesn't apologize and take to the hospital every folk he shoot.

What a stupid quote, as if there's no racist liberals out there because there's a half-black man in the White House...and if he hates hipsters then he hates 30% of liberals

Just because he is crazy and mean, that means he has to be racist or it won't be authentic? Lol I guess one could say he is mature in that aspect, doesn't matter what race you are, Trevor will kill lol

Humans are a species, not a race. A "race"( or breed or ethnicity ) is a classification system used to categorize humans into large and distinct populations.

 

Much like dogs are classified into different groups. You wouldn't consider a pitbull and a beagle the same breed( or race or ethnicity ) even though they are both dogs. Or an even better example using dogs would be comparing a Staffordshire Bull Terrier and an American Staffordshire Terrier( which are both pitbulls but of a different breed ( or race or ethnicity).

Because he's too crazy and he's equal-opportunity in his craziness.
