History FantasticRacism / Videogames

** ''VideoGame/DragonAgeOrigins'' is full of this. Elvish racism against humans or elves who act "too human". Human racism against elves, which is ''much'' more pronounced than the former. Human racism against humans of other ethnicities and nationalities. Classism in the [[FantasticCasteSystem Dwarven caste system]]. [[BullyingADragon Prejudice and mistrust]] against [[BlessedWithSuck Circle mages]]. [[BurnTheWitch Executions]] of ''non''-Circle mages. Religious intolerance, schisms and Holy Wars. There's probably not a permutation of this they ''don't'' cover.
** Humans and Dwarves. They are pretty respectful of each other for the most part, although the Dwarves view living on the surface as a weakness while human think the Dwarven caste system and politics are ridiculous. But there's no hostility.
** ''VideoGame/DragonAgeII'' adds Qunari to the mix. It's mostly a religious conflict, but the anti-Qunari zealots don't hesitate to throw around terms like "ox-men" when referring to the Qunari. For the Qunari themselves, those who follow the Qun are people, and those who do not are things.

* In ''VideoGame/TheSims3'', [[UnusualEuphemism Woohooing]] with an occult is one of the many things a celebrity can be publicly disgraced for doing. It gets a bit ridiculous because this can happen even if the celebrity sim in question an occult.

* In ''VideoGames/TheSims3'', [[Unusual Euphemism Woohooing]] with an occult is one of the many things a celebrity can be publicly disgraced for doing. It gets a bit ridiculous because this can happen even if the celebrity sim in question an occult.

* Half the point of the ''VideoGame/ZoneOfTheEnders'' series. In fact, "Ender" is a pejorative term by Earthlings referring to those born on Mars and the outer colonies. In turn, the Martians use it for those living on the outskirts of the solar system.

* ''VideoGames/DiscoElysium'' has a literal example; the character Measurehead believes in his own unique brand of racism, which involves a number of hilariously inane and fantastical racial stereotypes about that universe's ethnicities, built on an entirely made-up brand of scientific racism practiced only by Measurehead. The Detective is allowed to learn and internalize this "Advanced Race Theory", which is so dumb merely thinking about it reduces your Drama skill because you've bought into the absurdity.

** Via Lyt, one of the lords encountered in the game, is mostly characterized by a deep hate towards Radovians.

** The game's plot is kickstarted when King Eryk and Queen Aurelea realize that the Radovian bandit to whom they promised their first-born daughter for marriage thirteen years ago in a bid to get away alive, who is now an unofficial King among his people is coming to get her. The fact both Eryk and Aurelea all Radovians to be barbarians before even getting into the "former bandit" motivates them to do anything they can to avoid keeping their promise, even if it means marrying the daughter in question off to another kingdom to secure an army.

** The player-base often (jokingly) demonstrates a huge amount of hatred and disgust for the [[OurElvesAreBetter Elves]], often going so far as to treat them as the mortal enemies of the [[OurDwarvesAreAllTheSame Dwarves]]. Most of this is due to how the Elves subtly insult the Dwarves when trading, try to instate limits to how many trees the Dwarves can cut down for wood, bring crappy trade goods, refuse to buy anything made of wood (even though they themselves sell items made from wood), and if they siege the player, they attack in their thousands and wear crappy armor that the Dwarves can't wear or smelt down into metal bars. This isn't helped by the Elves [[ImAHumanitarian eating their enemies,]] and starting wars over the treatment of plants (then eating whoever they fight); they basically are designed to be as unreasonable as possible, whether or not they're at war with you.
** This is especially funny given the existence of a race that ''already'' behave as the Dwarves' mortal enemies, the [[OurGoblinsAreDifferent Goblins]].

* ''Franchise/{{Lunar}}'' series:

* In the ''Franchise/{{Onimusha}}'' series, humans were created by the demon god Fortinbras for the Genma (who he also created) to prey upon. Therefore, many Genma have an intense hatred and scorn for humans, particularly [[MadScientist Guildenstern]], who, when he isn't transforming them into new Genma or performing horrific experiments/autopsies (while they're still alive!) on them, refers to them as "maggots" on a regular basis. He ''loves'' their internal organs, though...

*** On top of that, [[spoiler:Edelgard and [[AbusivePrecursors those who slither in the dark]]]] express particular disdain for this game's take on the [[OurDragonsAreDifferent manaketes]], here called "Nabateans" or "children of the goddess." The former only devolves into hurling insults in one story route due to JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope, while the latter go so far as to extend their hatred to ''[[MisanthropeSupreme literally everyone besides themselves]]'', thinking of people the world over as savages at ''best''.

** [[VideoGame/LunarEternalBlue Eternal Blue]]'' might be the only game in the series that doesn't have some Fantastic Racism against the Vile Tribe (if you don't count the ''Childhood's End'' tie-in manga).

** ''VideoGame/GoldenSunDarkDawn'' was not at all subtle with the treatment of beastkin-- and deconstructed this trope by having the beastfolk fight back... well, [[TheRevolutionWillNotBeCivilized tooth and claw]]. [[DisproportionateRetribution And then some.]]

** ''VideoGame/MassEffectAndromeda'' has the kett, who refer to all other intelligent species as "animals" and use the pronoun [[ItIsDehumanizing "it"]] when discussing them. They routinely kidnap other intelligent species and work them to death in slave labor camps... or they [[spoiler:transform "worthy" members of those species into new kett, a horrific process described as "Exaltation" and which brainwashes the new kett into serving their empire with utmost loyalty]]. On top of that, they also ''really'' hate AI. One quest on Voeld shows their invasion force diverting attention away from the war in favour of tunnelling through a frozen sunken city just to kill one.

** ''[[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsArena Arena]]'' includes that make offensive jokes about whatever race your PlayerCharacter is.

*** Many of the Stormcloaks have this attitude, especially in their capital of Windhelm, where the Dunmer are forced to live in a slum and the Argonians are only allowed to live and work on the docks. According to Brunwulf Free-Winter, one of the few Nords trying to make things better for the downtrodden in the city, Ulfric will not even lift a finger to help non-Nords in his hold of Eastmarch.

* The various races of ''{{VideoGame/Starbound}}'' each have their own little negative history with one another, like the Florans almost eating the Hylotl civilization into extinction, something that leaves the two races in very tense relations to say the least. And on the flip side of the peacekeeping [[TheFederation Terrene Protectorate]] that the Humans created to bring peace to the galaxy, there is Occasus, an extremist organization/fanatical cult of human-supremacists determined to evict all non-human races from Earth and ultimately secure humanity as the dominant species of the Universe. And much like [[MassEffect Cerberus]] they seek to enlist an EldritchAbomination in the (very mistaken) belief that it will cleanse the universe of all "lower" nonhuman life.

*** In one of the Dark Brotherhood quests, you go to a mansion in Skingrad to murder five targets who have been invited to the house under the pretense that a treasure is somewhere in the house. Three of the guests display racism towards each other that can be used to the player's advantage: Matilde the Breton hates Dovesi as she hates all Dunmer and [[KickTheDog will even express happiness if Dovesi is killed first]], and the Redguard Neville and the Nord Nels the Naughty hate each other; Nels lost his daughter to bandits and hates the Imperial Legion for failing to act (and Neville is a former Legionnaire), and Neville was posted on Solsteim and takes the view that Nords are "greedy, vicious, animal-worshipping savages" and immediately suspects Nels as the murderer if another guest dies and both are still alive.

* The ''Franchise/AceAttorney'' universe features the fictional country of Borginia. In ''VisualNovel/ApolloJusticeAceAttorney'', case 3 is centred quite heavily around this country and many characters make remarks that could be considered extremely racist if said country was real. These include people stating how "lying must be a Borginian pastime" over and over again.

** The hatred for Darcsens is eventually [[DeliberateValuesDissonance given justification]], as part of Europa's history is that the Darcsens ravaged the land with ancient ragnite technology in the past until the Valkyrur arrived and put a stop to it, and [[SinsOfTheFathers future generations of Darcsen have payed for it ever since.]] [[spoiler: Except that even ''this'' is nothing but propaganda; The Valkyrur were invaders who overwhelmed and enslaved the Darcsen while committing the same acts of destruction the Darcsen are blamed for today, and then [[WrittenByTheWinners rewrote the history books to make themselves look like heroes putting a stop to a bunch of violent destroyers.]]]]
