I dunno....I don't think she's racist. I think they are changing her just to try to stifle some annoying complaints.

Apart from the Quartet from the first game, Tina is by FAR my favorite BL2 Character. My girlfriends as well. If someone is offended by Tina, they should be offended by the entire game, and therefore not fit to pass judgment upon it.

As a black man, I do not find Tiny Tina offensive. Her use of urban slang is not being used in a negative way. Burche was not trying to making any statements about black people with the character. Anyone, who is offended, what message are you getting from her? What do you think Burche was trying to say about black people through Tiny Tina? If you can't think of one, you are offended for no reason. Just the fact she uses urban slang alone is not enough reason to call the character a racist stereotype, because it is not coupled with any negative traits that are usually associated with people who speak that way, like being lazy or uneducated. Tiny Tina is quite the opposite.

I think this stemmed from Mike Sacco, the white guy behind the accusations, feeling uncomfortable about laughing at a character who displayed a negative black stereotype, and blamed the writing for his own insecurities. The comedy is in the juxtaposition of a small white girl living and surviving in a tough environment around a lot of tough men (shown in her speech, probably comparing Pandora to the tough life in the inner city). He's using the "tough guy" part and not the "uneducated" part. There's really nothing racist about it.

i sent gearbox here to see how the fans really feel and not how that dumbass with the twitter account feels

Tina talking street is the smallest problem in the game. Honestly I'm more worried about a certain 10 ton bi-hemouth crushing those poor defenses vaulthunters under it's weight. You know, Moxxi's breasts.

Anyone who says Tina is racist hasn't been to an elementary, jr, or senior high school in the last decade...

This...makes...my brain...hurt by how much stupidity this is. Suddenly the way people talk is now racist. What happened to the freedom of speech? Is that only applicable as long as it doesn't make someone uncomfortable? History is full of uncomfortable moments! Will they stop teaching history because it had events that are tragic which makes people uncomfortable, Should the news be taken off the air because the violence in our country or violence in other nations make people uncomfortable, should all white people that talk "like them urban folk be labeled as a racist" Hell no, it is a way of expression people need to accept it and stop hating because it is "different" People with this mindset is holding mankind back because they don't want change. Yet change is the reason why we evolve and advance as individuals and as race. If you that afraid of change or how people "talk" don't every leave your house because the world will only drive you mad.

P.S. Tiny Tina is my favorite character as well. I'm black and I don't think she isn't racist in the least bit. Even if she was it still wouldn't bother me because things like that are petty. People who lived in that time didn't complain about it as much as people do now. Some people nowadays has gotten too soft.

Quite asinine. Tiny Tina is one of my favorite characters in BL2. Also, have those who claimed racism never seen Gaijin Goomba's Game Exchange episode on the matter?

Racist? Have you been around teenagers lately? A whole bunch of them talk like that regardless of race.

You either loved Tiny Tina or hated her (I loved her) but this is just a game of ''who can annoy themselves the most about things that shouldn't be annoying.'' It's like saying the color blue is racist for not being red. I enjoy all the crazy characters, even Face McShooty, and that should not be changed because some people start throwing weird things and using that one overly used keyword, racist.
