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.)"
And it's a mystery why she feels that way huh?
What's fundamentally wrong with people like you is that you pretend history and cultural forces don't matter when it comes to black people. The society she lives in affects her life and molds her experiences.
It's a basic realization when you accept that she's actually a human being.
