The Verge - Elden Ring’s character creator fails Black players.
Thanks Max.
"This isn’t just an Elden Ring problem; it’s a video game problem. For many years, players of color have had to mod in things like kinky hairstyles and better, more authentic-looking skin tones in order to have the kind of representation that white players get by default. Games with a customizable protagonist are nearly always represented with a white-passing avatar. And when games do include Black hairstyles, it’s almost always only a fade and an afro, which are the go-to styles whenever a character creator wants to give the appearance of inclusivity while not actually being all that inclusive. (Looking at you, Mass Effect.)"

I do thank ya for the effort, sir. Will there be anything else that I don't know about myself and should shut up about according to your impeccable values?
He's happy with white people having unearned advantages, and therefore you should shut up about anything related to changing that status quo. It's all your problem, he doesn't want to hear about it because it's working out fine for him.
