The article highlights the long-standing problem of Africa being portrayed negatively in Western media, often using stereotypes and tropes that depict Africans as savages, cannibals, or terrorists. The author argues that the remake of Resident Evil 5 perpetuates these harmful stereotypes through its trailer, which features white characters fighting against hordes of black zombies.

This has sparked criticism from some quarters, with critics accusing Capcom of promoting violence against black people and being racially insensitive. Capcom has responded by defending the game as a work of fiction and emphasizing their commitment to diversity and rejecting racism.

However, this controversy raises important questions about how Africa is represented in video games, especially in the Resident Evil franchise, a long-running series known for its zombies and survival horror elements. It is crucial for developers to be aware of the stereotypes and tropes they are using, and to avoid perpetuating them, especially when it comes to race and ethnicity.

Overall, the debate over the potential remake of Resident Evil 5 highlights the importance of responsible game development and the need to be mindful of cultural sensitivities and potential stereotypes. As fans eagerly await the next installment in the franchise, it is important that developers prioritize inclusivity and diversity, and work towards creating a more inclusive gaming experience.
