History FantasticRacism / Videogames

** ''VideoGame/TalesOfTheAbyss'' has this with the Replicas. They're considered freaks by most of the townspeople due to being clones ([[spoiler:and many of the people they are clones of didn't survive the cloning process or were already dead to begin with, resulting in the replicas getting the blame for the deaths]]), and they generally feel like they have nowhere to live where they can be accepted. In the end, [[spoiler:[[CloningBlues 10,000 replicas willingly sacrifice their lives in the hope that their sacrifice will mean replicas in the future will have a place in the world to live in without being condemned for simply being born.]]]]

* Played for laughs in ''VideoGame/UltimateSpiderMan'' where Peter has a victim who is clinging on a bridge say "mutants are people too" before rescuing him.

* ''VideoGame/BlazBlue'':

--> '''Relius''': [[KickTheDog You're merely doing as the animals do]].

* The ''Franchise/AceAttorney'' universe features an example of this trope of the "fictional country" sort of FantasticRacism, in the form of prejudice against the people of 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.
* In ''VideoGame/AgeOfWonders'', it's possible to be friendly with the leaders of good and evil races, but put units from each in the same party and you may end up with deserters.

* In ''Videogame/{{Arknights}}'' there are the Infected, which are people who have contracted Oripathy, a disease caused by exposure to [[GreenRocks Originum]]. Oripathy is a terminal malignant disease in which Originum crystals grow in the body, causing mutations and painful crystalline growths to emerge from their bodies. When someone with Oripathy dies, their body rapidly crystalizes into a mass of Originum which then dissolves into glowing dust which can quickly infect others. As a result, the Infected are widely segregated into ghettos, with only a few countries giving them equal rights, and in other countries they are killed on sight to prevent them from reaching the stage of their infection where they can transmit the disease. The conflict between the un-Infected and the Infected is so severe that a massive terrorist organization known as the Reunion Movement has formed to violently fight for the rights of the Infected and is the main antagonist of the first eight chapters of the story.

** In ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTwilightPrincess'', Dr. Borville claims he can't treat Prince Ralis of the [[FishPeople Zora]] because he is unfamiliar with Zora physiology, but listening in on two women discussing the matter in eastern Hyrule Castle Town indicates that Borville didn't give the boy a full checkup due to prejudice against them.

** ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXIII'' has this to some extent. Nearly the entire population of Cocoon have been raised in fear of invasion from the underworld of Gran Pulse. The depictions of Pulse as an uninhabitable and hostile wasteland are embedded into the minds of every Cocoon citizen, [[MetaphoricallyTrue even though there isn't any proof of this, nor is anyone allowed to prove or disprove these claims.]] Being branded a Pulse l'Cie is the equivalent of a death sentence -- for the Pulse l'Cie, [[UtopiaJustifiesTheMeans and everyone else in their vicinity suspected to be one.]] No matter what the Pulse l'Cie's alignment or Focus is, they are immediately generalized as an enemy of Cocoon, and the likelihood is that the Sanctum will do everything in their power to kill them before the end of their Focus. [[UnacceptableTargets On the other hand, being a Sanctum l'Cie is perfectly fine.]]

** In Episode 2, the Vindication Act was passed to recognize the sentiency and rights of non-Sapient beings. Sapient beings are classified as "intelligent and bipedal", such as humans, elves, orcs, gnomes, and halflings. However, other races such as satyrs and banshees take a long time before they're recognized by international law. Because there are only a few banshees in the world and sirens are better favored as sopranos, Riona, an aspiring soprano, is extremely frustrated with the prejudice she gets as a banshee.

*** The second game adds some justification to this prejudice, as apparently the Ardat-Yakshi (asari who inflict DeathBySex) are only born from a union of two asari, so societal prejudice against these kinds of unions is in many ways an overt attempt to stop these creatures from being born ([[http://masseffect.wikia.com/wiki/Codex/Aliens:_Council_Races#Asari:_Ardat-Yakshi unfortunately, about one of every 100 asari is to some degree an Ardat-Yakshi]]). In the third game one of the monasteries where Ardat-Yakshi are housed away from society are seen, and Liara, an asari, talks about the Ardat-Yakshi in what would be a very dehumanizing way if they weren't, well, asari. The asari believe the condition prevents sufferers from developing empathy, but most Ardat-Yakshi are not actually monstrous -- those who are are just very high profile. Then again, some squad mates point out that other races might have simply killed their equivalents to Ardat-Yakshi.

*** Khajiit are banned from cities due to the belief that they're all murderous skooma-addicted thieves ([[GameplayAndStorySegregation though this doesn't apply to the player character if chosen to be Khajiit]]), and Argonians are mostly only allowed to work at docks. There are also racial slurs that are unique to both, like "lizards" or "boots" with Argonians and "cats", "rugs", and "carpets" with Khajiit.

* ''VideoGame/SacredEarthSeries'':

** Similarly, the [[LongDeadBadass ancient]] [[FounderOfTheKingdom King]] Ysgramor had an extreme hatred of all elves, but especially the Falmer (Snow Elves) after they sacked and slaughtered the city of Saarthal. Ysgramor would raise an army of [[BadassArmy 500 of Atmora's greatest warriors]] and would lead them into driving the Falmer into near-extinction. Ysgramor's iconic weapon, the [[AnAxeToGrind battleaxe]] Wuuthrad, even has a screaming elf carved into it and [[WeaponOfXSlaying deals extra damage to elves]].

* Cap'n Cuttlefish from ''Franchise/{{Splatoon}}'', a veteran of the Great Turf War between the Inklings and the Octarians, has some biases against the Octarian empire. This is most evident in the ''VideoGame/Splatoon2'' DLC Octo Expansion where he spends a lot of his time interacting with an amnesic Octarian (your PlayerCharacter) as well as Marina from Off the Hook. His character development throughout Octo Expansion is about trying to shed these outdated viewpoints and accept that Octarians and Inklings can once again share an integrated society.

** [[DifferentlyPoweredIndividual Adepts]] often face discrimination at the hands of non-Adepts whom they view as a potential danger (especially those that possess a destructive septima) or due to jealousy and hatred. With Sumeragi touting anti-Adept propaganda in order to arrest and use them for inhumane experiments. Dr. Kamizono and his son Copen in particular view them as a threat to the survival of man and the latter follows his father's objective of annihilating Adepts from the face of the earth.
