Can we please leave real life politics out of this ?
Wuk Lamat problems has nothing to do with DEI, and have everything to do with being a Zero 2.0 with 10x more omnipresence in the story, while being childish and perfect at the same time.

Did you bring into question a persons real life in response to their statement about their experience with a video game's character?
And then sort of back-handedly (in my opinion) insult them?
:thinking:
Trust me I wouldn't want your pity and I think nobody else would care for it either
For my take, the story of DT feels very much like a fan fiction set in the FFXIV universe with a self-insertion wish fulfillment character and you WILL like her or you're wrong.
The character interaction feels absolutely forced. Does that mean I don't like Wuk Lamat? Well, she's not a bad person. Being socially awkward, sea-sick, air-sick, easily lost, clumsy, etc, doesn't make her a bad person. But is she someone I'd spend a lot of time around or seek out her company? Not really.
But you don't get that option. Everyone has to love Wuk Lamat, want to hang out with Wuk Lamat, etc, or be a "bad person".
And the story has almost no nuance to it. The villain, so far up to Solution Nine where I finally tapped out and ditched Wuk Lamat at the mall, has a completely irrational motivation to bring war so people that already have peace will... want peace.. or something..... Wuk Lamat wants to keep the peace and repeats that so many times it makes you wanna shout "got it the first five times, thanks! Can we talk about other things?"
I certainly hope if there's future story telling they take it away from the fan fiction writer and back into the hands of someone that can write a well nuanced and thought provoking topics and dynamic characters that make sense.
I loved Lyse—her JP VA gave her a way better feel and direction. She sounded determined, introspective, with a sense of inner strength. While the English VA just made her sound whiny and entitled.
So I’m hoping I’ll like Wuk too. But, I find Wuk’s character model pretty damn unsightly, and I’m worried that might be a problem. Then again, I thought Lyse’s model was butt ugly too, and that didn’t stop me from loving her, so maybe it won’t be an issue after all.
My fundamental problem with Lyse was that M'naago was clearly a far better choice to lead the resistance when the old fella copped it. Plus, yeah, that accent in English. Why did Lyse come from South Kensington when everyone else was from Barnsley?I loved Lyse—her JP VA gave her a way better feel and direction.
