    Also it isn't just about other races not being included in the artworks. Sometimes they are included HOWEVER they are always in the background, even Au Ra suffer from this.
    The complete post won't load through my connection at work, only some of the images are visible. However to this point above, Moonfire Faire 2016 featured 3 characters, Rogadyn, Elezen and Midlander female IIRC. So, other races and genders are NOT always in the background, are they?

    wait...
    wait no better crop them out, we cant have Roegadyn in our Banner
    To be fair, that banner crops the part of the poster that contains the actual Saucer building and includes Miqo'te and Midlander. but the original poster includes many others and more prominently features a Rogadyn male and Highlander female.

    All you are doing is cherry picking, and even then one poster you're using to 'prove' your point more prominently features a male Roe and female Highlander. Once again, other races and genders are not always in the background, are they?

    How? This year featured 3 - Roe, Elezen and Midlander. This demonstrates the very thing you demand - diversity.

    So, you agree that the artwork is led by player character demographics? Good, then where is the argument now? You say that the selection of character races in artwork discourages players. I'll counter with the continual in-game representation of Miqo'te females are easy women, objects to be bought/sold and used. If you really want to talk about representation of characters in game, we can do that, but as a Miqo'te, I can't see how anyone can really deny that Miqo'te, especially females, are depicted in a fairly poor light which is a lot more discouraging to me than the occasional event art.

    So, good luck trying to disprove me when you're living, breathing proof. \o/
    I don't think you mean to, but in a game context, you sound very prejudiced against Miqo'te females on the basis of race and gender. I hope that's not the case, but your posts make you sound like you are.
