I dont think that SE thinks there are no brown and black players playing the game, and I would imagine you would concede that too. So if that was youre thinking, its a bit patronizing that you have to 'inform' them of that fact. Just saying.
From here, your post Im quoting seems to acknowledge to some extent that how you phrased things was a problem. So why do you resort to to lowkey assumptions and accusations on detractors? I mean, you do understand that casting aspersions doesnt help your position when you are engaging with your detractors. You use inflammatory language at teh initial post, which gets a lot of people riled. You acknowledge "Hey, maybe thats an issue" then you go back to using it. So, the question is simple. Am I giving you to much credit here? Do you understand fully that using inflammatory language and casting aspersions is pretty much isnt helping you, either in making suggestions to SE or engaging with your detractors?
Im gonna make this a clear point too: Even if your initial intent was to pose a question towards SE, it is in your own best interests to get as many people on your side of the issue, so that the request appears more genuine to SE. If a decent segment of hte player base supports your request, theyre more likely to react to it. So casting aspersions and the like against your detractors, using language that is prone to cause flaming and heated dialogue, and the like isnt in the interest of your goals. 'Cause the greatest irony of this entire damn thread is simple: People want more customization. No one here is seriously arguing against it. What they have issue is how you came to the conclusion the game needs and then casting it as a racial issue in your opener. Whether it is or not, being smart enough to know that "Hey, if I phrase this like this, its going to cause more issues and stall out what I want to see in the game."
