Yoshida Addressing “Butt/Hip Sliders” and The Solution To Them:

[QT_Melon]

Hell, the only reason I'm happy we got Viera as they are is because they're the only race that can look like actual black women.

As a Black person I kinda take offense to the remark that you think Bunny girls are the only thing that "look like us".

As a Black Person (No Joke, don't let my Avatar Fool You) Im confused why you find it Offensive.

[SturmChurro]

As a White Person I think most of the races have decent options for making a black character, or dark skinned at the very least. Male and female.

Because it's pretty narrow minded to think that only one Race "looks Black" when as SturmChurro said below there are many options in this game that make us look "Black" we're not just some weird stereotype and many of our features don't reside in just one type of look to qualify as Black.

tl;dr We're more diverse in looks than just some bunny girl. I like them, but I don't think they're the only indicator of how a Black Female should look - especially with anime type aesthetics in the game :P

they also most certainly don't have our hair

How did we go from talking about ffxiv butts to real-world racial representation? This community feels schizophrenic sometimes...

[Gwenorai]

Me, a fellow black woman. Watching another black person be offended because another black person thinks that the race that was designed to be 'dark-coloured', represents us more - and is thus called narrow-minded. What. Just what. Can 2019 be done with and common sense and acceptance of opinion please be brought back in 2020. Less I'm offended and, more 'I don't agree with that, but okay.' That'd be awesome, thanks.

[QT_Melon]

They said ONLY, not MORE.

I like to give them a little more credit even if I think the character customization is dated.

[Gwenorai]

Who cares, it's their opinion. Why get offended by it? They're not being insulting or rude. I actually loved the fact that the Viera were all dark-skinned when they were introduced. As a kid growing up where most characters and women etc in games were white, that was a game-changer. kek

tldr; ain't worth getting offended.

Now if I want to get offended I'm going to ask why I can't adjust the front of my dudes pelvis. No bulge slider? How dare. Now that's the real problem.

Sorry, wasn't aware I could have a different opinion here.


Yeah and I talked about how males should have more options earlier in this thread. That included bulge sliders, but forgive me if you think we can't multitask. It's in the realm of scope of character customization.

God forbid someone use the words "kinda" too, you know? I hope in 2020 people can also learn to understand adjectives in language too.

{not to mention irony - but I guess I'll stop because people can't pick up on satire)

"I kinda take offence" doesn't make sense. You know that right? You either do or you don't there's no in-between, no middle ground.

Don't try and do a weird reverse uno when it doesn't work.

I also don't understand what you're talking about in regards to the bulge sliders. It's something I want and can use, like someone playing as a male toon. Not something that I went out of my way to prod you with. Believe me, I'm far too lazy to check multiple pages of people talking about 2b butt.

Multi-task, what? Also, who's we?
