  • This week, MK content creator Total MK decided to head to Twitter and go on a seemingly unhinged and completely uninformed tirade against Takeda Takahashi's upcoming inclusion to Mortal Kombat 1. Today we take a look at those tweets and discuss why he's completely full of it and why anti-DEI grifters should be exposed.

    Takeda’s father is Japanese and his mother was Thai in the original timeline. Quite the mix we have here. The question is, how are you gonna call Takeda white when 1)His first and last name give half of his ethnicity, 2)MKX used custom face models rather than faces of real people so how could you judge Takeda’s ethnicity on that?

    This guy is grifting, but he’s highlighting one of NRS’ biggest mistakes with MKX
    MKX (although assigning different races in lore) presenting everybody as Caucasian in both skin and voice acting
    Takeda, Tanya, Mileena, Kitana
    What’s so annoying is that the real criticisms they got at the time did help them solve these problems to having slightly more accurate representations of culture
    But instead it also lead for them to go even farther than they ever needed too working with companies like sweet baby inc

    • @Impalingthorn

      Yeah, the worst part about people like this is that they are muddling actual nuggets of truth in a mix of political grifting.
      It creates doubt for people that actually know the real issues because then they have to start making very obvious qualifications and stating the obvious, "Netherrealm is participating in DEI practices yes, but Takeda is alright just so we're clear". I agree, I often forget that Kitana wasn't even originally Asian just because she always had that man-jaw going on which they only fixed as recent as MKX. The Edenians were Greek in inspiration. And her mother and father were Jerrod and Sindel... Both just being patently Caucasian. But because Kitana became Asian, that meant Mileena had to become Asian too since she was made from Kitana's DNA. And so on so forth, it just creates a mess of logistics.
      I often fault MK11 for being the start of this crap, but I forget a lot of the time that it actually started back in MKX.

      I know no one said "African Americans". That's the POINT. Dude said Kim was the first *black* female fighter as if "black" only refers to African-Americans and as if the literal African, Elena, wasn't black female YEARS before Kim was conceived. He SHOULD'VE said "first Black-American fighter" in regards to Kim, as that would've been accurate and NOT invalidating of all the other kinds of black people across the globe from Black-Europeans (Dudley) to Black-Brazilians (Sean), and people called him out for his ignorance and doubling down on that ignorance.
      It's really not. Dudley, Balrog, Elena, and Sean are all Black. But they're also from completely different parts of the world with completely different cultures. They are similar, but they aren't the same just because they have dark skin, hence the further classification terms like African-American vs. African-European and so on. It's important terminology so you can be aware of these culture differences within the same general race of people and not do some ignorant stuff like give the African Samurai in your Feudal Japan Assassin game a trap beat for a battle theme when bro is nowhere close to America let alone from there, let alone in a time period where such music exists.

A lot of things about MK have rubbed me the wrong way in recent years, but the fact that it's always been a boiling pot of nationalities and cultures has never been one of those reasons. It's a fight for Earth Realm against an invading super-powered dictator. It makes perfect sense that every nationality in the world would have a stake in this fight, and send all their biggest badasses to help.

    You got to remember though; anyone of any ethnicity can have tanned or dark skin. It's dependent usually on how much melanin is activated by UV raidiation, as we all have melanin in our skin cells to protect us from UV radiation.
    Environment is also a factor too. The more tropical or arid the climate, the darker skin you're gonna get. Europeans and some Asians are paler because of environment, climate and personal treatment of their skin.
    Generally, the more genetically predisposed toward melanin content in your skin cells, the darker you'll be.
    For myself, I quite like dark skin on people, it looks rather beautiful.

      People rarely talk about video games now, they confront you with their stance, beliefs, religion, politics, sexual orientation, gender, or whatever, just to see if you are like them.
      The discussion would rarely be about the video games nowadays.
      I remember a time where we played video games and never once brought up politics, religion, gender identity, race, or the current problems in the world of those times, we just played video games, had a good time, and talked about the video games that we played.
      We rarely brought up real world issues, if we wanted to talk about those things, then we would, but it would never get to a point to where you are questioning the people in your friends’ group and developing into arguments and fist fights, never would happen at all.

Sindel MK11 looked European and Asian but with an African Queens body shape. Tanya was Egyptian and Indian. Jade was Indian Latina Mexican like.

I´m a MK Fan for over 30 years and reviewed every game of MK! I deserve a review copy of the game but those stupid morans of NRS don´t want to give me one".
    He is a sad guy and he is just searching for things to complain about. Thats it.

    I don't think an established character should be race swapped from either side. This takeda situation didn't bother me. He looks more tan in the render art but in game he looks pretty similar to what he was in MKX. but my MAIN ISSUE with this race swap stuff is that it's almost always taking established white characters and changing them into a black character, or a male character being turned into a female. I personally can't think of one single example of a black character being turned into a white one or a female being turned into a male. Are there any examples?

Although funny story: Capcom expects us to believe the Morrison from DMCV is the same exact guy from the DMC anime, a white dude. The funny part is that new Morrison's VA ISN'T black, but a white guy.

      Yep, Vanessa in Virtua Fighter 4 was whitewashed in 5 (and not a single video about it exists on UA-cam). Tanya was whitewashed in MKX's base game and was going to be in the DLC until they got backlash and corrected things. In the movie side of things, we had white people playing Ancient Egyptians and Middle Eastern Jews in Exodus: Gods and Kings. Speaking of Egypt and Gods, we had Gerard Butler playing an Egyptian God in Gods of Egypt.
      Also pretty sure Pinhead from Hellraiser was actually described as female in the original book, but the movie made them a man and now the character will forever be seen as male.

Scorpion was kinda exception but for him its probably supposed to be an actual tan.

    When they did the opposite with Jade in the mobile game people threw a fit remember that?! Remember when they lightened the skin of Jade 😲 How could you forget.

    Also, most Asian ethnicities will have tan people. Many of them went through feudal periods. The people that worked the fields and did more of the manual labor in society would have been the poorer people and thus many have darker skin than others. It’s not like the basics of skin exposure to the sun changes around that part of the world.

He used to put out some decent videos like his MK outworld tour videos because I found them to be entertaining imo way before he got brain rotted into this culture war nonsense nowadays. And this isn't the first time with the Takeda situation. He even did the exact same way with Tanya. I mean seriously? All in all, after the level of toxicity and the weird direction he's doing, I made a decision to unsub from his channel. Which I already did a few months ago.

    Also Totalmk somehow believes that harumi (scorpion's wife) is takeda's mother even though she died years before he was born and keep insisting that he's right. Is he mixing up characters? Where does that idea come from? Lol
    And strangely he equate dark skin as "African american" did he never go outside?
