    Legendary Hero (Sargatanas)

    Default How the hell

    Do they figure its all Barrets fault, you all know what im talking about: North Corel, the only one against it was Dyne.

    Really smurfs me off how they blame it all on Barret.

    Barret was one of the major proponents of letting the Shinra come in and build their facility. Once things went south Barret was an easy target for the rest of the townspeople to take their anger out on and blame since he was pro-Shinra in the beginning.

    That's what I never understood. Dyne was the only one against it, everyone except Dyne should take the blame. Barret was the scapegoat, but I don't understand why. Look at him, he shouldn't be able to be picked on

    They see me rolling. They hating, patrolling.

    Mob mentality. It's one of the unfortunate behaviors of humans when in groups.

    Dammit Boko, now I want to wait a couple of months for this thread to sink into oblivion and then make a new thread claiming that North Corel is racist and these events are proof. xD

    Barret is Japanese. But he has dark skin. There is no Africa in FFVII.

    Was Barret the only black guy in the game?

    Maybe there aren't any black people in VII, he just has a really really bad sunburn. :/

    Sunburn? Lol...
    the thing is since Barret is Dyne's bestest friend (i reckon), so the townspeople sorta expect Barret to persuade his friend to be on their side.
    Well since he can't, they easily blame him just like that.
    silly it may seem, but that's just me and my lame theory.

    There are other Black people in the games than barret. Rude,
    theres a guy in the gym in wall market, a woman at costa del sol.
    Mr Coates, loads of different people.
    and Yuffie looks more asian than the rest of Avalanche who look caucasian (cept Barret and Nanaki).

    I think they sorta saw Barret and Dyne as there leaders so they blamed them unfairly, especially as he lost his wife and best friend and was left with a baby to raise by himself. poor ole Barret had a right tough time

    ...It is because there is a limit to time that we wish for nights that never dawn.
    Eternity is just an empty illusion and is why feelings of being able to believe in one another are born...
    Remember that well.

    Barret and Dyne were like the leaders of North Corel, if anything goes wrong then the leader is blamed

    If I was like Cloud I don't think I would have taken that test.
    Changed to stop Jessweeee♪ from going insane. Is that better?
