Character Creation Has A Race Problem

Can someone tell me definitively why PoC having representation in this game is a bad idea?

"it's a fantasy game"

Because the second the word "representation" is posted here people hear kill bill sirens. You should have seen the gay discord thread, it was a s*** show and a half.

You seem to be under some misconception that certain people on here are against diversity and that's why we continue to reply. What we're against is this odd assumption that this game LACKS diversity due to specific types of hairstyles and facial features not being present. It isn't us who keeps bringing this "issue" up, we simply reply to it to try and finally lay it to rest. It has nothing to do with "hate", I don't even know where you got that idea from.

Yeah except that wasn't what we were even talking about. You say you were reading so you should know. We were having a civil discussion. It's the people who can't walk away who added 15 pages to this.

Can you blame them, though? With few exceptions, folks tend to read the first page of a thread, maybe the second, and then jump to the last page. I'll grant you this, yes, the thread was somewhat alright and was actually attempting to get somewhere. I, however, am responding to your defending. Because, again, I don't agree with the premise of this thread.

It was totally possible to keep this thread on track but lordy some folks cannot help themselves.

Please. Please.

Ah. Fair enough. I did miss this post. Probably a good idea, should've done it a few dozen pages ago, but to be fair.... I couldn't help myself thus time.

Do I think this game has a "race problem"? I don't think so.
Am I in favor of more customization options in the form of shapes and hairstyles? Absolutely.


Even though I'm not a fan of these (very american) issues being brought up all the time, I'll champion any cause that gives us more options in the character creator. Hey, if outrage is what it takes for it to happen, outrage away!

You can already play as characters with dark skin with any race in this game. You can already style a character to have distinct African features with certain races. How exactly are PoCs not being represented?
