Hm. Perhaps there is a misunderstanding.

I'm not talking about the player jabs at questionably unrealistic character traits.

I'm referring to the game lore itself discriminating against Duskwights.

But, that's maybe mostly just a Gridania being racist thing..

There is a misunderstanding as I just found it funny you posted on the forum and that Reddit post was so random, aha.~

Potato is not a race Ryan, therefore not racist.

Why act like this is a game-specific problem when real life society has the same problems? If someone is racist in real life, they're going to carry that over into their game play.


That's okay. I don't like Au Ra.

But I'm still going to treat you fairly because I assume there's a decent human being at the keyboard/controller behind that Au Ra (or at least until something happens that proves otherwise).

Why would you assume based off my reply that I would treat racism or discrimination as only as an online gaming thing? I myself am a person of color. Of course crap like that is going to carry over into the game and you see it all the time. The main argument of the post is that the community has done little if not nothing at all in recents time to care about how others are treated when playing different races. If you have any suggestions towards fixing such issues please post them.

I love this. I also remember before master race, I used to play raen girl and each time my husbando would /embrace, it felt like he was my dad about to let me know we are going out for ice cream for doing well in school that day.
