Yeah, why else would MC have a big buff black athlete for a best friend? Shame because the game had a really promising start and ending with that chastity belt. I don't see NTR in the current tags but we'll see.
I understand that we've been conditioned by porn and adult game devs to see a black male, or worse a fit young black male, and assume he's gonna try to swoop all the white pussy he can, consequences be damned. And all that white pussy will inevitably be his, because the only thing women love more than a nice guy is a confident bad boy, right?
But I saw no evidence that he was that sort of guy. There was no foreshadowing or hint at an oversexed personality. If the dev wanted to foreshadow him as a sexual rival, the hot dog vendor would have been a hot girl, and we would have seen him hitting on her shirtless. And he'd have some facial hair, cornrows, a doo-rag, or all three to show us what a badass thug he is.
The fitness and race of this character seemed more like a device to show that the MC isn't a typical nervous pushover suburban computer programmer office slave or slave-in-training (read compsci major) like most other AVN MCs are. Their conversation hinted at a rougher past and the latent physical prowess of the MC despite his currently comfortable lifestyle and career. Their banter further showed that the MC isn't socially inept like the usual sheltered nerdy white momma's boy MCs.
I think that the trope is being subverted here, and I really hope I'm right. I'm really tired of the stereotype in these games.
