Character Creation Has A Race Problem

[KaivaC]

So what you agree with isn't aggressive while what you disagree with is. On that note, no, OP: wasn't insinuating that Valkyrie was racist, this is just your paranoia of being thought of as a racist creeping up. Can you point out where OP was insinuating that Valkyrie was racist? Again, calm down, no one's calling you a racist. Unless again, you can prove it.

Couldn't get anywhere with Hyo, Miste, and Cass, so you turn your attention to me? Okay then, let's address you. Being thought of as racist? "No one's calling you a racist"??? What? No, really, what? None of what you said makes any sense whatsoever. It's like all you took out of my post was a word and then just went on a nonsensical response from there. Which, by the way, the response I was referring to said that the response was semi-racist in nature - didn't label anybody as racist. ...Oh god, now I've turned this into a buzzword for this thread. Yup, I'm done chatting with you. Moving on...

Aggression is bad no matter what. It's not fair to say you agree with Valkyrie's aggression so she's right but disagree with Nandina's aggression so she's wrong. Aggression is aggression. And Valkyrie's chose to talk about the bit of race stuff in Nandina's post and then got aggressive with it, instead of simply responding to the suggestion. She could've even said a bit a both:

"No I don't think we need this or could have this because blahblahblah.

Also, please don't make this a RL racial issue blahblah."
But that didn't happen..


Wait... Just skin tone? She couldn't ask for "African" hairstyles or facial features(we already know the features are unlikely for #Yoshireasons)?

In my opinion, yes, I agree with what valkyrie said. And yes, I disagree with some of the premise of the OP. So what you're saying is, because I agree with one aggressive post but not another...my own opinion about the matter is essentially flawed? That is some...wow, I don't even think there's a word to describe this. This calls to mind a meme featuring Xzibit doing wordplay. valkyrie did essentially say don't make this a racial issue. What, that has to be spelled out exactly for some people to actually comprehend it? I fail to understand how somebody can say that this game under-represents as if it were either intentional or that the devs were tone-deaf. Honestly, I am 100% surprised that a community manager hasn't popped in with a warning like they have with prior threads.

But it seems like you're attempting to right this shipwreck, so let's see how that goes. More hairstyles would be nice, yes - this community has beaten that horse to death so many times, though. The character creator as it is...sucks. There's just no other way to put it. When compared to other IPs that have come out, it just pales in comparison. With all the energy that has been put into this thread, I'm willing to bet folks could've realized that this thread was going nowhere, started a new one...call it 'Post your requested hairstyles', and let that gain traction. The thread could've been players posting screenshots of the kinds of hairstyles they wanted, and I am positive that it would have actually been far more productive than this mess of a thread.

This isn't only about hair. I think you know that.

Whether or not you agree with the idea of adding more ethnic features/hairstyles, that's all fine and dandy. We're all allowed an opinion on the matter. However, trying to dismiss the entire conversation as "I just want these hairstyles" isn't right.

Which is literally directly above their post.

I took it as them just summing up this hot mess as "I just want more hair", but I very well may have missed something. If that wasn't the case, I apologize D:
