What's new

General/Other - Jacqui Briggs Anyone find it weird that she is getting so much hate despite not being fully revealed yet?

Funny thing is Johnny got a lot of hate and people didn't want him in MKX, now he is a character many are hyped for. Cassie was disliked at first but with time she became loved. And some though Jax was boring but today people are warming up to him and aren't calling him boring.

With time the hate will diminish and Jacqui will probably have a lot of love. Who knows, the haters may become fans of her soon. I thought Reptile was boring and shouldn't have return pre-his reveal, but now I am pretty hyped for him too.

Can't wait to see Jacqui kick ass :)

Yes I am talking about Jacqui Briggs.

She seems to be getting way more hate then necessary and all we've saw from her was 10 words and a second of her X-ray which is practically nothing. We haven't seen her gameplay/variations, we don't known her bio, and we don't know what her overall personality is like yet she is getting so much hate? I don't think that's fair at all.

Is it because she is Jax daughter and you also hate Jax? Is it because she is a black female? Why is she getting so much early hate?

I feel like she shouldn't be getting so much hate at least before we've seen enough of her to pass a final judgement towards her.

I actually think she is pretty interesting and she has a unique fighting style. The idea of a kick boxer with different weapons attached to her arms in different variations seems pretty cool. Not to mention she is the first black female in MK (or 2nd if Tanya is black).

At least give the girl a chance until she is officially shown, at least then the hate towards her would probably make sense. It's pretty ignorant and idiotic to hate on a character you have yet to have seen enough of.

It's either one of two things we are all suppressed anti-women and anti-black advocates using petty rationales as masks for our own internalized hatred...

Or it's because in a game full of robots, ninjas, and characters we allready adore being un included, we got another measly Somewhat uninspired generic human who is possibly demographic fill when it could have been a pirate gorilla or something cool.

"But she has wrist gun things"

Or maybe different people have different reasons for distaste, or even a cluster of reasons amongst themselves!!!!

Maybe some guys r too machoto want to play a girl.

Maybe some people want big tits or think she looks to lesbo (I'd actually like a kind of stereotypically lesbo char, who enters the stage in a minivan)

Maybe some people just don't like black people, and shame on them, but why wouldn't they like black chars in a fighting game when you beat up characters...

Maybe some people like myself are just looking for the next plausible target to arbitraririly ventilate and Redistribute stress on the nearest possible venue which doesn't have repercussions.
 
Or maybe it's because she's a useless character spot? Stop throwing around the race card for EVERY simple damn thing.
I think it's possible the gentlemen with the King Kong avatar may have been using this new revolutionary social device known as "humor".

Its a tactic often used to point out absurdities in certain situations which are somewhat unpredictable or unfitting. It's meant to alleviate stress and create an amusing or pleasant tone for situations.

Some great minds might argue humor is merely one of many differentiated tactics involved solely in helping the human reduce stress, but who am I to provide input on such a thing.
 
Wtf? Dude hush up, I never said no one liked Jax (although no not everybody likes him) and I didn't say her being his daughter could have been the only reason. Read before speaking please.

Agenda.

Seriously your thread would be fine If people weren't bringing race into it. Not to mention you calling people close minded when they say why they don't like Jacqueline. They don't need to see gameplay because they don't like her design in general, same reason people don't like D'Vorah because they just dislike bugs.
and by people you mean OP right?

Is it because she is a black female?

i feel like having children and parents wasn't really necessary. having the ENTIRE cage family? yeah, waste of 2 spots imo. but i also couldn't be less hype for the special forces crew.

I don't hate her but she appears to be boring just like her Daddy Jax and aunt Sonya. She is special forces member, the most boring group in game. Her spot could have gone to Smoke,Rain,Cyrax or noob saibot.

And how do you know this again? You got the game and played the story? Or at the very least you saw her gameplay and looked at her official character bio?

Also just to add her dad is a reverent so..... yeah just throwing that out there before you jump to conclusions and consider her "useless".
 
^ Yeah your a dumbass. It wasn't bait it was examples of why people are hating on her so much when we know little to nothing about her.

It's like talking to a wall at this point. God!!!!

Not big on correcting grammar, but it's funny when someone makes a mistake like that while calling another poster a dumbass.
