2P Skin Color

[Samsta]

Whether she's 'brown skinned' or not in the first place is also debatable. Androids lack an ethnicity in the first place and both her facial features and her tan look 'Caucasian' to me.

The color of her skin is brown, this statement is factual and has nothing to do with ethnicity or anything like that, please don't bring that to this discussion. I just like her a delicious brown, it has nothing to do with anything other than aesthetics, the same reason my viera has brown skin.

I honestly can't believe this is a discussion to begin with..

You underestimate the power of delicious brown.

No, she is tan. Here's a zoomed in version of the statue.



And the game screens from SC:



Now compare to a character like Symmetra.

It probably is just the result of different lighting being used for the render on the site. In the patch art she looks tan. :v

You are aware black people come in all shades, from really light to dark right?

So using 1 black character as an example makes your point completely mute.

“She has a tan” if she’s an android how does she tan?

I mean... the color of her skin is light brown, I don't care if it's from tan or from what, it's clearly brown. Why does it matter if it's from tan or not lol.

I agree that it ultimately doesn't matter. It's just based on aesthetic preference.

A 2B by any other name would be just as sweet.

I love seeing the excuses for potentially whitewashing a character. "She's an android", "it's arbitrary", "she looks Caucasian to me"... If a character's skin was made darker than the source material, I wonder if it would still be no big deal.

They might have to change her name to 3D or something.

They're not excuses. They're statements of fact. Let's not beat around the bush here, some pretty unsettling accusations are being launched at the development team. A common trend from certain posters, no doubt, though mysteriously they don't seem to care enough to stand by their words and quit over it.
