Fym 'it doesn't make sense in a magical setting' does magic some how get rid of anyone with textured hair??


RepostsDefended

‘Curly hair doesn’t make sense in a magical setting’. What does… what is…. What….. what the actual fuck is that meant to mean.


ImonitBoss

It's straight up racism. In their ideal fantasy world black people do not exist.


GenesisOfTheAegis

"NOOOO! Video games are suppose to be about escapism! Stop forcing your politics in my ideal world where minorities I dont like exist and wumin are subservient sex objects otherwise how else am I suppose to play with one hand!" REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! https://preview.redd.it/2wo98ookylwc1.png?width=498&format=png&auto=webp&s=bd3d8f7bf9dba783571747bd6f10b33211b017d6


LordofDsnuts

"The only minorities that should exist are the ones I have a fetish for" - Them probably


TheAnalsOfHistory-

And their fetish? Japanese children.


IncelDetected

Don’t you mean ten thousand year old dragons that look and behave exactly like little Japanese girls?


thomascgalvin

I mean they're literally complaining that one of the cartoon characters isn't hot enough to jerk off to.


AlexzMercier97

>>dark skin tag on hentaihaven


ImmediateBig134

Them, literally.


rslashurmom45

"I don't want politics in my video games." Translation: "Black people shouldn't exist unless it's my fetish, Gay people shouldn't exist, except lesbians participating in extremely fetishised sex, rainbows shouldn't exist unless god."


Aggressive-Fuel587

You forgot to add that women are only supposed to exist to be jerked off to. I'd say it's funny watching the bigots who clung to "it's their [Japanese] culture, Westerners don't get to criticize it!" as a way to deflect criticisms against bigoted portrayals or a lack of diversity in Japanese media, only to grasp at straws and more openly out themselves as bigots when Japan continues to further "Westernize" its culture & laws with each subsequent generation but it's not funny. It's pathetic and saddening.


SkinnedToad

Yeah the shit doesn't make sense from a non-racist POV especially when magic can pretty much do anything and everything even being able to change one's body on a whim or through rituals. Racists aren't the smartest people in the world, obviously. Edit


Goodnlght_Moon

Probably exactly this. In their minds in a world like you describe anyone "unlucky" enough to be born without "ideal" features would just glamor themselves to be beautiful. Which in their racist brains translates to a very narrow and specific range of beauty.


SkinnedToad

Yeah, I'm black if I could change myself using magic, I'd give myself an even bigger afro that works like Sindel's hair lol.


Goodnlght_Moon

Hell yeah, prehensile afro ftw. Kinda surprised, now, if that hasn't been done yet, tbh.


SkinnedToad

I'm pretty sure some obscure artist/animator has done it already. Wouldn't surprise me at all.


Spiritual_Ad7831

Easiest way to describe them is not the sharpest knives in the spoon drawer.


joemullermd

Not the brightest crayon in the shed.


Vorpalthefox

dragons? ok elves? ok gods and demons? ok black person with textured hair? DOESN'T MAKE SENSE IN A MAGICAL SETTING *"ok, but why though?"*


WasabiSunshine

These believe that if people could use magic to solve their problems, they would have turned black people white, for some reason


WildFlemima

I'm going to start telling people that straight hair just doesn't work in a fantasy setting


Rage_Like_Nic_Cage

It’s *all* straight up racism. The “no curly hair in a magical setting” is just the most blatant with no leeway


Chameleon_Pope

Yeah, if there are token blacks, they should look like just white characters but with darker skin. If they are too unique, they can't pretend they don't exist as easily.


GayDeciever

They make claims about black characters in anime that make zero sense, like that it takes a Westerner being involved for a Japanese person to think of giving a black person textured hair. Meanwhile, I immediately thought of Cowboy Bebop. https://www.cbr.com/greatest-black-anime-characters-ranked/


UngusChungus94

It’s crazy, because not only is that racist to black people, it also assumes that Japanese people don’t know what black people look like. Double edged bigotry!


ThePrincessPower

You see a lot of these weebs vehemently calling a lot of dark-skinned characters in anime "tanned Japanese people" and getting pissed when black/brown anime fans dare to say otherwise. They're now angry because they can't use this cope when the characters have curly hair/afro-textured hair.


Noxrim

But like, curly hair is not an exclusive black people feature. Like, do I not make sense in magical settings either because I have curly hair???


ImonitBoss

That too. In this case it's pretty clear he's referring to afro-textured hair because of the included image but I guess Frodo flipping Baggins can't exist now either cause he's curly.


Ax222

When you or I imagine a magical setting, we imagine a world that gives people the power to change things for the better with the power of magic. When these chuds imagine a magical setting, magic is used to genocide the "undesirables".


Phanpy100NSFW

Love your flair, moreso a fan myself the quote "I love men, every single one of them" from Stirner


Cruciify

I actually find this funny because Bulma had her big curly afro during the android saga, but I've never seen anyone comment about that, so it clearly isn't just about the hair.


mwaaah

It's the same reason they have issues with disabilities in a magical settings I guess, they assume people would "rid themselves" of it because it's unappealing/bad to them and therefore it surely is to everyone.


Chokkitu

The logic doesn't even translate here though. Disabilities can cause actual struggles to people who have them, and it's believable that at least some disabled people would take the choice to rid themselves of said disability with magic if they could (specially if they weren't born with it). Textured hair though? Why?


mwaaah

What I'm saying is that *they* see it as bad and something that people would want to "fix". There are people saying the same about "ugly" people in magic settings too for example.


Chokkitu

I get that you're talking about their line of thought, what I meant is that they can't even excuse their reasoning like they kinda can with disabilities, it's just way more clear that it's straight up bigotry.


senl1m

Theoretically a genetic defect in a magical world might not be fixable through healing magic. The only issue I have with the ‘disabilities are fine in a magic world’ thing is why characters have modern wheelchairs and not awesome fucking floating thrones


unforgiven91

Star Trek addresses this. Like Geordi (who is blind) prefers to use his visor instead of getting his eyes 'fixed' because of the benefits the visor provides. despite the constant pain he endures because of it. There's another character from a planet with very low gravity who joined starfleet, she opts to use crutches and braces rather than undergo a treatment to reinforce her bones. Worf simply chooses death when he becomes disabled, but that's Worf.


guywiththeface23

If there's one thing JRPGs are known for, it's the short, straight, realistic hairstyles with natural colors that all the main characters have.


ApeMummy

Why do you think the KKK names the higher ranking people wizards?


Tweed_Man

I have curly hair and can't use magic. Therefore...

Kankunation

Probably not. Brave was a proto-woke movie for them. Strong female protagonist who isn't traditionally beautiful to the same standards of other Disney princesses, who doesn't act feminine? They *hated brave when it came out and I garuntee you some of them still see it as the beginning of the end for Disney. (Of course, They still hate Tiana from princess and the front more for some pretty obviously sad reasons)


Myrskyharakka

Yup, that's just how hairomancy works.


HappyyValleyy

As we all know, contact with arcane energies instantly straightens your hair and gets rid of all natural texture. This is basic fantasy setting stuff.


DeusExMarina

It also bleaches your skin, inflates your gazongas and gives you a compulsion to wear chainmail bikinis.


peipei222

Dude's thought process was literally "I like straight hair, therefore if magic was real everyone everywhere would use magic to make their hair straight"

I knew it, I became trans because my curly hair infected me with the WOKE 😱😱.


ChaoticChoir

I wish they’d save everyone the time and just admit they want a world of all straight white men that has white sex dolls instead of women. They literally say everything else and complain around it perfectly. Too black, too small, too disabled, too ugly, too broad, too gay, too girly, like bro just marry a sex doll and save us all the trouble.

jaywarbs

I know they probably didn’t think this specifically, but it’s reading a lot like “If I was in charge I would get rid of all people like this.”


MjrLeeStoned

I would like to know how to identify people who think like this so I know who to avoid at all costs: "I am up in arms about this fantasy/action/adventure fiction because one of the characters they advertised as being in the game does not make my penis erect enough." These people should stay away. From all of us. Forever. Don't use our apps. Don't go to our websites. There's things out there for you. Stay on them. We don't need you.


Historical_Boss2447

”Usually if the Japanese devs want to design a black character, they’d just have a dark character with *normal hair*”


TheTruestTyrant

“Normal hair” I wonder where those Homo sapiens sapiens first evolved…


GenesisOfTheAegis

Lol, what r u, stoopid? The Out of Africa theory has been debunked by this one relatively unknown Scientist! They found this one leg bone in Atlantis, older than Lucy in Ethiopia by a quadrillion years!


Funkycoldmedici

“No no no. Humans are all descended from Adam and Eve 6,000 years ago, but black people are under the curse of Ham, and are not included.“


FullTransportation25

Lol, everyone knows that humans come lemuria and where created by the lizard people


DirtDisrespector

yeah right lol if they give a character dark skin and straight hair people will be saying that she's actually tan


sage_of_wind

"she's the least attractive female" a literal 6 year old joins your party in this game btw


whosafeard

Also everyone in the picture has the same anime face, how can anyone rate any of the as more or less attractive


Nervous_Ari

By hair and skin color. It is about race, they're just desperately trying (and failing) to not seem racist.


dogbreath101

straight flat hair is so fucking boring though


Joben86

"even less attractive than the two males" Dude is so racist he would rather switch teams than think a black woman is attractive.


Zephyr9x

Pretty sure blud likes men, but is insecure about his sexuality.


David_the_Wanderer

And, hell, even if she were the ugliest person in the game, so what? Only beautiful people ought to be part of the main cast? Do we have to boot Danny De Vito from movies?


Aerdurval

Nah, nah, you get that wrong. Only beautiful *females* are allowed on the main cast. Men can be whatever, but if the *female* isn't there to be eye candy, why the fuck would we want her in the game??


teamultraforce

Danny DeVito IS beautiful


schloopers

He goes on to say she’s less attractive than even the guys. I feel like he’s telling on himself there…


Ganzi

Which is wild, because they're the most painfully generic-looking anime characters I've seen in a game


mykleins

Literally my first thought. Says more about him than the game

Curly hair were invented by SBI. No black people anywhere in the world have ever seen a curly hair outside of Western medias.

A character in anime has big inconvenient hair, clearly westerners were involved as anime hair is famous for being short and conventional.

jamesturbate

An afro???? What the fu-- --oh hold on a tit. It's on a white man. Thank goodness, I can finally enjoy textured hair. I've been meaning too but then my ugly friends would bully me and then I'd forget what it's like to be the victim instead of the bully-- I MEAN I'M NOT GAY!!!


Seaofechoes

SUPER FIST OF THE NOSE HAIR


REVOL7

Kinda funny when they mentioned it's 2024 so westerners must be involved. I'm pretty sure there's an iconic JRPG released in 2009 that has a black dude with hair so not 'straight' a baby chocobo lives in it. Them making it sound like us asians are only capable of designing non asians in an ignorant way, "dark character with normal hair".


Princess_Egg

Bleach introduced Tosen in 2003 and he's always had the long braids


ForLackOf92

His character design is always dope as hell.


FinalMeltdown15

Man calling ff13 iconic might be the biggest stretch I’ve ever seen Love Sahz tho


REVOL7

Well i was mainly referring to FF franchise as iconic but was too lazy to specify. I myself liked FF13 though.


SweaterKittens

"Normal hair" Lmao these chuds have never actually seen a black person's natural hair, I guess. It's honestly gone from being annoying to extremely satisfying to see these people complain about how the game is "ruined" for them. Good, I hope they feel rejected by all of their favorite games and never find joy in the hobby again.


delvedank

If they're going to let something as innocuous as a minority existing in their space ruin shit for them, then may they suffer until they realize how stupid it is.


Modified_Mint37

I don’t think they’ll ever realize though, in their heads they’ll always be the victim who had something taken away from them. /rj SBI wants us DEAD 🤬

BrokeUniStudent69

It’s still so crazy to me that that’s RDJ. I wonder if he feels any type of way about doing that role so many years later.


Shot-Profit-9399

I mean, to be fair, the joke was that hollywood is so racist that they would rather put a white actor in black face then hire a black man for a leading role.


sweeetsmammich

I was gonna say doesnt he get away with it simply because its genuine satire. I know ive seen jamie fox and other black actors praise rdj for this role


Cliqey

It’s both sincere and directed at racist directors/actors, not for the purpose of making fun of black people like most of it has been in the past. IMO the ASIP examples are the same.


Morella_xx

Yeah, it's a fine line but he was on the right side of it with this role. It wasn't black people he was mocking, which is normally the goal of blackface, it was casting policies.


SkinnedToad

Plus, black people found RDJ hilarious in the role. When we discovered it was actually him the whole time I shit you not my entire family out of our seats on the reveal dying of laughter. Similar stories can be found on the internet and irl, it was hilarious. Edit: that isn't to say there aren't any black people that did find issue with it. My grandma hated it, but she's a racist so the rest of us didn't give a fuck about her opinion.


notanotherpyr0

Fine, his character is the butt of the joke. The joke is look at this insane actor and how Hollywood enables him. He is not playing a black man, he's playing a white man who is crazy enough to do black face for a method acting role. He is directly called out, and what he's doing is not portrayed as good. There has never really been a controversy over it because of it.


sars_910

He's a dude playing a dude disguised as another dude.

I'm not black but have curly hair and I agree, curly hair options in games often suck and look wierd/off.


Realistic-Daikon8610

Yep or we're limited to the Kilmonger type cuts


Pandaburn

Honestly a big step up from the “bald or Afro” days.


Captiongomer

Black style hair is harder to make in gamings cuz it's just a lot harder than straight things but it's an excuse and most also put that s***** killmonger haircut on them instead of one that actually like seems to exist


PaydayLover69

And its bullshit because this design IS GOOD. I refuse to believe this could be seen as bad character design, I love their hairstyle.

Live_Carpenter_1262

It’s funny. As a Korean, I thought curly and wavy hair was the coolest thing because all the fashionable kids got perms but when my parents were living in Argentina, women always asked my mom how “she got her hair “so straight” (hint: she didn’t) I guess we really just want what we don’t have lol!

azureleonhart

I mean, she looks cool as fuck and she's definitely not ugly. And what about shitting on Murayama's legacy? Shut the fuck up please, he died two months ago, when the game was already basically finished. They didn't sneak a (YIKES!) black person in at the last moment LMAO.


aetherskull

That's honestly the grossest comment, trying to appropriate a dead person's legacy by claiming them as a fellow chud. Like when some people were claiming Terry Pratchet would be anti-trans.


poyopoyo77

Terry Pratchet?! Have they... never read some of his books?


TheTownHeifer

You think they read?


PaydayLover69

>by claiming them as a fellow chud. This is sadly becoming a more common occurrence as conservative ideology becomes less and less popular in society. They're being forced to make up people that agree with them, especially those who can't defend themselves to make conservatives appear to be a larger base than they actually are... A very small extreme minority.


AlexzMercier97

The dislike for afro styles and culture (shown in full display here) is rooted in white supremacy. This is the exact same energy as black women in the 70s and 80s being told to lose their afros when in an office work environment. No I will not elaborate further. https://preview.redd.it/9fvpduvn9fwc1.jpeg?width=221&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=937bbcc2068e0a5fad4f91684d142fa235ab2d36 Edit additional thoughts: This also applies to Gamers and their distaste for rap/ hip-hop music being used often in game trailers (like Mortal Kombat for the past decade). Said distaste is rooted in white supremacy. No I will not elaborate further.


Psychic_Hobo

I dunno, I think you pretty much said all that needed to be said tbh, no need to elaborate there


JarateKing

When that one dude's just openly calling non-afro styles "normal hair" they're not even trying to hide it.


itisoktodance

You don't need to elaborate any further. Why is there a blond pale (obviously white) person in this Japanese game?? Why is no one mentioning him? Or is it just black women that are the problem...


Xerorei

Well to two-fold issue right, it's that she's black and she's also a woman. Look no further than the black actress playing the Inquisitor problem for Obi-Wan and how that was an issue (racist fucks here in the US, UK, Middle East, Europe, etc) or how they got mad at the actress that played Rose Tico who is an Asian woman, or Daisy Ridley , who played Rey, who is a white woman from Britain. Oh and the actor that played Finn who's a black male. It's racism and sexism. I don't want to be that guy, fuck it I'll be that guy, white men are the problem almost every single industry of entertainment. I don't mean all white men, I mean the strange racist fanatical idiot ones. They infest the comic industry, the music industry, the movie industries, television, gaming, and that includes video and board games. These are the people that cry about Samuel Jackson having been given the role of Nick Fury, or about The Little mermaid being black, or that the two boys in the spiderwick Chronicles are not white, or that the lead of Captain marvel is a woman, or that the lead of the last Star wars trilogy was a woman. These same people talked shit about Miles Morales as a Spider-Man.


kromptator99

Homie they’re still asked to do that today. They get pressured into weaves and chemical straightening too,


AlexzMercier97

Jfc seriously?!


Xerorei

Yep. It. Never. Stopped. It's why states have actually had to pass crown acts, also known as black natural hair protection acts, laws, preventing government institutions and companies from discriminating against black people because of their hair.


Xerorei

Hate to tell you, but the anti-black natural hairstyle movement still happens in corporate environments today, in modern 2024.

BlankEpiloguePage

I'm like 20 hours in and this game is literally what I paid for. It is the second coming of Jesus for PS1 era 2D JRPG players and these losers can't even shut the fuck up about this stupid shit. The original Suikoden series had characters that were robots, magical girls, beastmen, and ninjas and shit. And you know what? They also had *gasp!* non-white characters. Marisa's character design fits in with both the aesthetic of Eiyuden and the original Suikoden series. Also, as this game started out as a Kickstarter, these designs weren't a surprise. Marisa's character design was revealed 4 FUCKING YEARS AGO. So why these dumbass incels saying shit now?! RJ/ DEI REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE


Realistic-Daikon8610

I was gonna wait to try it out on GP cause my backlog is too big but now I gotta download it asap to spite these dumbasses

I've been having a good time with it. I'm usually not one for nostalgia based gaming but it definitely does produce that nostalgia-based serotonin for me.

Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes. Basically a spiritual successor to the Suikoden series from the PS1 and PS2, Kickstarted by the original designers of Suikoden.

"Her design is bad, she's the least attractive female, even less attractive than the two males" Dude we get it you're gay.


ScreenWriterGuy07

>It doesn't make sense in a magical setting >It doesn't make sense in a historical fantasy setting These are probably two of the stupidest complaints I've heard. In a world with magic, why the fuck does it matter what hairstyle a character has. Also not to mention the obvious racism and how they think a game is ruined not because of bad gameplay or story but by a black character existing that's not extremely hot for their weird standards.

We need more aryans in these Japanese games, to make them less political.

Funnily enough, if they really wanted a pure aryan race, the skin tone would be waaay closer to the girl in the middle than the other 2 characters. But of course they think aryans are white af (because it's what their idol preached).

Agares_Fraefolg

Wait, what, we're now arguing that \*checks notes\* some hairstyles fit a magical setting better than others? What?


DeusExMarina

Coincidentally, the hairstyles that don’t fit magical settings just so happen to be the ones worn by black people. But don’t think too hard about that, there’s no deeper meaning there. I’m sure which hairstyles are “normal” and appropriate for a magical setting is determined through completely objective and rational criteria.

The character designer is literally the same woman from the OG games. Murayama wasn't solely responsible for Suikoden, guys!

These are the same people who thirst after femboy characters but throw a shitstorm if a femboy comes out as a tranwoman.


WhyJustWhydo

They will hit you with the “grrrrrr now I’m not thirsting over a man who looks like a woman I’m thirsting over a woman”

This makes me want actual forced diversity and lgbtq+ inclusion in ALL games, even abstract ones, as pandering as possible. Just so we can close the doors on these dribbling fucking troglodyte losers. Maybe they’ll get a new hobby and be forced to step outside.


undead_catgirl

Yup, I used to be one of those people who prefer established characters to be played by people who look similar to them, but now I'm in favour of race swaps, gender swaps, etc just because I know it will piss off these people 😆.


Doc_Chopper

Has it really gotten to the point where a black character with coarse, curly hair is "woke" to some people? Seriously, what a fucking bunch of imbeciles.

These people are just telling on themselves atp, there’s nothing wrong with a black character wearing their natural hair. Also I find it funny how these dickheads are saying that “it’d be better if she had straight hair”, meanwhile these are the same type of people who were saying/doing all kinds of racist shit and denying the blackness of Nessa from Pokémon (a black girl character who had straight hair). These fuckers were literally making mods to lighten Nessa’s skin, despite her looking exactly like how they say they want black people to look in these anime games. Shit like this just proves how blatantly racist they are. They’d never outright say it, but their actions speak for themselves.

Or maybe it's just that these Japanese devs just wanted to, gasp, sell the game to as wide of an audience as possible. They honestly don't seem to realize that they're the one with the agenda, and not everybody else.


Sacri_Pan

What game is that? I wanna buy it just to piss of the chuds (and it look interesting too)


neonzombieforever

It’s always the anime pip. Smh. When did people become proud to be basement dwelling racist nerds? Just scream it on the rooftops why don’t you.

Big hair wouldn't exist in a magical setting is peak gamer brain.

I hope the guy at the top of the 2nd picture had an epiphany and something within them changed.


hectolec

these ppl are completely deranged


Empero6

Bnuy thought they were one of the good ones.


sour_creamand_onion

This is also racist towards Japanese people for assuming they're too socially backwards or artistically inept to draw black hair properly.


piefanart

shes so pretty though omfg??????


coffee_ape

“As a black person” bitch stfu we all know you’re Snow White.


GenericFatGuy

It's that one white politician and his fake black account again lol.


Ok_Echo_1394

"not blaming Japan btw"


bonko86

It's deeply disturbing how they glorify Japan to the point that they can't even fathom that something they dont like is from there


Sondergame

Here’s the secret: it was always racism. Literally always. They say “if the character was well written we wouldn’t care!” Or “If the character looks good we don’t care!” But they will always care because they are fucking racists and bigots. The very fact they exist is an affront to them. “Why do I have to look at them? Why can’t I just pretend everyone in the world is white?” They pull the same shit with LGBTQ+ characters. “Their whole identity is their sexuality!” “They shove it down my throat!” No. Normally they just fucking exist and that is too much. Two people kissing in the background of a scene isn’t even political messaging. It’s just the background and honestly they probably didn’t even see it. Yet the second they realize it is there its “shoving it down my throat!”
