Twitter users raise concerns over 'actively racist' Borderlands 2 character New, 88 comments. But what do you think? Are terms like 'crunk' and 'badonkadonk' racially charged, or are they justt he mindless yammering of a psychotic child?

Let us know below. The Gunk, the new game from the SteamWorld team, is releasing in December. It looks like Naruto is coming to Fortnite next week.

Better believe it! There's a crossover between Fortnite and Naruto coming soon. The Borderlands series is full of creepy moments and missions that are practically impossible , but perhaps the franchise's greatest controversy centered on one character. Tiny Tina is a character first introduced in Borderlands 2 , where it became immediately clear that she was a little bit Tina is a young girl and a demolitions expert, apparently becoming a bit of a genius at making things go "boom" when she lost her parents and seemingly her mind at an early age.

At multiple points in Borderlands 2 , she makes jokes and carries on in dialogue that resembles some type of faux-Ebonics. While this aspect could be seen as just another of Tiny Tina's quirks, some people did not take too kindly to it. In fact, in a game that also includes characters with names like "Butt Stallion" and "Face McShooty," Tiny Tina ended up being the most controversial of them all.

They picked out use of words like "badonkadonk" and "crunk", and claimed Burch had opted for "stereotypical low-class black lingo".

If I'm wrong I would like to know why. Tina's existing dialogue won't be altered because it can't be, for technical reasons. But Burch said he'd alter future dialogue if he was convinced it was a problem.

Randy Pitchford, boss of Borderlands 2 developer Gearbox, took to Twitter to defend his staff member. At least one more Borderlands 2 expansion is due to be released, the last to be covered by the game's Season Pass. Buy Borderlands 2 from Amazon [?
