Character Creation Has A Race Problem

[MoroMurasaki]

How in the world do you say this:


Then say this:


Within the same post? They go completely against each other. If they aren't human, how can you be okay with asking for Asian or African features when Asians and Africans are human and therefore, by your logic, can't be compared to Hyurs?

Saying those things go against each other would be like saying the sentiments "Miqo aren't cats" and "They could add some more ear/tail designs for Miqo inspired by real cats like calico or striped patterns" go against each other.

There is nothing wrong with the people of Doma and Hingashi appearing Asian just like there would be nothing wrong with another group of people Hyur (or another ingame race) looking decidedly African or the majority of Hyur currently appearing white/European. The issue is when people say "We have X from the real world represented so we also need Y and Z".

To me the entire racial argument outlined in this thread could just as easily be applied to Miqote. We have cat people based on cats, why not dog people based on dogs? And rabbit people, and fish people and bird people and plant people and so on and so on because if it exists irl it should be mushed with a human and made a playable race. It's only fair because Miqote exist.

That's a stupid argument because Miqote actually exist in Eorzea and dog versions of them don't just like the currently available skin tones and facial featured exist but apparently the OP's specific undertone does not.

I don't see what is so hard to grasp here.

1. I don't think you know what Fantasy based on reality means; hint, Othard/Hingashi isn't asian themed area out of coincidence.
2. You keep proving my point, you can't breathe unless you make sure that no idea that isn't your own is given consideration

I'm sorry I'm not arguing for your opinions, you're right! I should definitely spend my time making sure your voice is heard.

Or I could be a logical person and continue to express my own thoughts and feelings.

Seriously, what do you want? Is it not okay to poke holes in an idea online anymore? Its a forum to discuss things, dissenting opinions happen. Move on. You're now just complaining I disagree with a thing you like. Congrats, noted, it is clear. Maybe offer real counterpoints other than "omg you keep talking about what you think, wahhhhh" and I'll care about what you have to say.
