Character Creation Has A Race Problem

[Miste]

Or perhaps just exert some measure of control over the huge chip on your shoulder you have about me and your insatiable need to win internet arguments. There is nothing compelling you to respond to me beyond your own ego.

The hypocrisy is strong in this one as usual.

The key word in there is discrimination. Discrimination is any unfair or unjust treatment based on your race or gender, which covers all the more insidious forms of racism people like to pretend don't exist because it's not overt, aggressive racism. To assert there's no problem because there's no obvious hostility is not only wrong but incredibly narrow-minded. Exclusion (more or less the point being made here) whitewashing, lack of representation in the media - it all stems from the underlying, semi-subconscious current that one race/ type of beauty is more preferable or better than another... which is the most basic definition of racism.

Are you seriously suggesting that FFXIV suffers from discrimination in its design?

If so that is blatantly untrue and completely ridiculous.

Does it lack more customization? Yes.
Does it lack more options for hair and facial features? Yes.

Discriminate? No.

You can make a character and design it after pretty much whatever race you want. I agree we need more options for facial features, and hair, etc, but what we have now is NOT discriminatory.
