To be quite honest, I couldn't care less what tone OP said it in, how they should have said it or who was offended by it. People would still be using the same ridiculous excuses, just with slightly less cattiness.

Actually, probably the same amount. It is the OF, after all.

As a general side note, it's worth remembering racism isn't always intentional or hateful. Sometimes it's merely ignorance.
Trust me if I could work some magical logic to not feel compelled to interact with you I would - it's always a chore. I would clean ten litterboxes a day if it kept this poop off the forums.

rac·ism
ˈrāˌsizəm
noun
prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against someone of a different race based on the belief that one's own race is superior.
I would absolutely love for anyone to point out where there is any racism in this thread. Not including every race is not racist just like not including a bunch of gay characters isn't homophobic or not including fat characters isn't some slight to overweight people. It's SE's game, we just play in it and if their story has Hyur looking more or less white that's fine.

Valuing other character customization features over the ones proposed by the OP also isn't racist. Personally this set of character customization options isn't going to do much for me so it isn't at the top of my list where as detatching the Au Ra faces from the horns would be great to me as someone who almost exclusively plays Au Ra. To expect me to be cheering someone on irrespective of their absolutely shoddy pitch just because they asked for yet another character customization addition is just dumb.

As I said multiple times before (not that I ever expect you specifically to be the least bit informed of course) if the OP had made their pitch without the "this is racist" parts I would have done the same thing I usually do with these threads and left a "cool buddy, good luck, looks nice!" and called it a day. My reservations initially were 100% with their attitude as were many others but I guess reading is hard.

So no, the OP and those people arguing these changes were necessary or it was racially insensitive are to blame for the cattiness just like you are here for perpetuating that same nonsense. If you truly cared about just getting these features and not about virtue signally you would just ask for them instead of doing so while calling SE racist for not having them.

I don't see the Viera thread screeching about representation and it looks like they might actually get their wish. Maybe take a page from their books.
