    I don’t think any of this is malicious, it’s just disappointing.
    I guess an oversight? I dunno, they sell all over the world, it may not necessarily be the case they're aware of all social and cultural quirks outside of Japan or outside or their neighbouring countries, its a huge world with much diversity and is not centred on the certain parts of the West like the US or UK, as not everywhere in the West picks up on it either. "Woke" culture is still a relatively new thing too, which is where the biggest voice is on these kind of things.

    I can agree that more POC representation in video games is a good thing, especially as there is a lack of it and this will have been a good opportunity for it. I just don't think everything is racially motivated or has a racial significance. I'm also for understanding how cultures vary and differ from our own.
