Why is there no “The Black” title?

[Edax]

White Mage has The White and Red Mage has The Red, why does Black Mage not get the matching The Black title?

Secondly, I want to be able to assign titles to Gear Sets like how you can assign Glamour Plates.

End goal here is having a White Mage dressed in black with The Red, a Black Mage dressed in red with The White, and a Red Mage dressed in white with The Black.

Perhaps there's a potential racial issue they are understandably trying to avoid.

But we already have BLACK mages. It doesn't make sense if that is the reason. I personally don't care about the title, but that would be a piss poor excuse.

Unfortunately people would probably jump on it. The internet loves to get upset about things.

Wouldn't that be even worse with "The White" - especially since you can go full hit on that angle and even put on white robes and a white pointy hat and well... let's just talk about race issues at that point... because that'd be about as bad as someone could take it.

So. We can be Edgy, we can be Dark, but, we can’t be Black.

Looks at my own character...


Ok, well... I wouldn't call hot-pink edgy.

In today's outrage culture, calling someone a honky won't even get a whimper. Plus Gandalf normalized it.

I think you missed what I was noting by exactly 180-degrees. But best for us not to dwell in that direction...

Like I said, Gandalf normalized it. The outrage cult isn't going to see a klan member.
