Under these people's scenarios there is no way of adding a dark skin character. I mean I did give them an opportunity to explain how they could and they dodge the question. To make it more intrinsic they make the asanine assertion that adding dark skin characters is pandering to real life dark skin people while ignoring that other people can have that preference as well. Or am I wrong? If I am wrong then light skin characters only appeal to RL light skin people?
Instead of hiding behind soft anti dark skin "hatred" (as described by some people here, that's their first emotion) you can come out and just say you don't want to see dark skin characters. From there the conversation has more meaningful value instead of hiding behind windows.

Actually those number are independently verrified.

You say they are, I say they're not.

Actually it can be adding as many as they desire for the sake of being different. Which is exactly what these cries for "muh representation" end up getting

Incorrect on both statements, it just seems that way to you because you don't know the definition of the word.

Then I consider you a shallow person, obsesses with your race.

Speaking about yourself?

I'm well aware of melanin, but that melanin doesn't define you. Those who see race as such a big influence on what they like are all shallow. BTW, that boring pizza at a resturaunt is typically there because it sells. That more fancy pizza you want them to add likely isn't added because it doesn't sell, if the owner/chef has any concept of what demographic they are serving.

That's not correct, in most situations it's because they're not aware that a better product can be made by taking their customer's input into account. I'm going to use your favorite subject, sports. At first most sports leagues thought that an all white sports league would make them the most profit, then when they added Black players that product (sports) became 10 times better. The leagues that didn't such as the hockey league on the other hand.

NBA has said it, their focus on those things have been a large reason.

That's not an independent source; last I heard there was a global pandemic, opioid pandemic, and job losses, and a 20% (gotta reverify the %) of people in the united states have cut satellite/cable TV. You trying to blame an entire race for a drop in viewership says more about what kind of person you are more than anything.

No adding more good characters is what is needed, not different colors for the sake of having different colors. The focus on color is being shallow.

Again, you keep projecting your shallow view about skin color on me. Just because you don't like dark skin doesn't mean others don't as well. No one said "for the sake of" so you're already lying right off the bat.

I'm not saying that dark-skinned characters should divide people. I'm saying the opposite.

I'm saying that I dislike the idea (that your post seems to describe to me) of thinking of dividing your audience into "dark-skinned people" and "other people" and calculating that you need to appeal to these as separate audiences with different tastes and that the dark-skinned character exists to appeal to one of those groups, not just to be a character that appeals to the collected audience who incidentally happens to be dark-skinned.

That's not what I'm saying. What you're saying is that adding dark skin people only appeals to dark skin people, it's just natural that it would appeal more to RL dark skin people. Is what bothers you the fact that it appeals more to RL dark skin people?

I'm not saying "don't add them". I'm saying "they shouldn't be added just to market to a particular group". Make a character that everyone will like because they're a character. Do it naturally.

A dark-skinned character shouldn't be introduced "for the dark-skinned audience". They should just be introduced. And in an ideal world, nobody would find that remarkable or political.

No one is saying that except the little voice in your head.
