Why can’t someone feel detached from a character they can’t relate to?
Isn’t that the entire argument behind all the current ‘movements’ to make life more, fair?
/smh
I think it’s more so the idea of being able to feel more connected to your character. However, this would make more sense… if Diablo had been a deep storytelling RPG. Now as far as characters go in roleplaying games ,there’s also questions of self expression of the player. For some people, characters they make in games are just a pile of stats or numbers -be it 0’s and 1’s, or be it a +4 Str bonus at tabletop. 
For other players their character is a thing they’ve carefully crafted, and handmade -possibly even hand painted. 
This player cares if their character dies, and cares about what they actually did over course of a game. For others they’re nothing and they happily just roll another one and call him Gordog Dorfkilla.
I think the people most liable to care about being attached, are those more likely to make characters as an extension of themselves. Or even outright self inserts. But again -Diablo isn’t really the type of RPG for that.
As we’re talking about gay people, there are two groups of them.
There are the average gay people who go about their day not bothering anyone.
And then there are the activists who can’t stop shouting about being part of the “LGBT” movement.
I actually feel bad for those people since that movement does nothing but hurt the regular gay people who do nothing but just go about their day living normal lives.
Do forgive me, often times my irresistible toxic masculinity takes over and I end up saying things like “There are only two sexes”

You are right. And most people noticed that.
No, you’re not tripping. It’s an intentional design decision to appease a certain kind of self-destructive mindset.

wtf is this topic… I played somewhat around with the editor and at no point I had a thought like “oh this looks not feminine / masculine enough” or vice versa. Maybe it’s more of a problem in the mind of the people who need to see some kind of agenda everywhere.

No it is the texture. I am talking about whether the skin looks like the tight smooth skin of a 20 year old or the loose skin of a premenopausal women. The skin texture is for the latter. That base skin texture is used for all skin tones.
But this is entirely a case of what model they had available when making the skin texture and not a choice of what they wanted the skin texture to look like.
Not sure where to complain about character models, but yeah most of them are not good.
No curves, flat, males look like twinks. At least the barbarian(s) look very different which is good.
But yeah If blizzard wants me to start spending on cosmetics, first you’d need character models that I’d actually like.

You’re being obtuse. People aren’t taking issue with gender neutral people existing, no one cares. They are taking issue with not being represented on the character selection screen. Inclusivity through exclusivity.
By George, I think the lad’s onto something.

The saddest part about this is witnessing how far society has devolved. Having a strong opinion on the appearance of another person as being unacceptable is probably the most basic, most lame brained path of thought that can exist in a human mind. I mean, its sub-primitive thought.
This comment needs more visibility.
Certainly much more wrong with the people who dont approve of the appearance of others than how other people appear.

It’s a somewhat clever way of making sure they don’t have to do any real work when it comes to incorporating customization options because everyone is drinking from the same pool now.
Nothing cooler than having a male Barbarian fighting the demonic hordes with a hairstyle that screams recently divorced single mom on her way to watch her kid play little league.

I think we have almost universal agreement that there are more hairstyles needed and that the light colors such as blonde, white, greys, etc look really bad texture wise and feel unfinished or bugged.
Maybe people want to be able to like their character? How is that hard to understand?

Actually some of the lighter ones did not look too bad on my new male rogue with the bushy, stand up hairstyle.
But yeah, they need to review the hair options, add some, fix the coloration on the thinner styles.
Oh sure - but there is a huge difference between liking your character and hating the design choices based on hating people whose appearance is unacceptable to you.
This dude trying so hard to turn this topic into some weirdo rant about racism lolol
You ain’t slick
Right. But I couldnt possibly be trying harder than you are to get a few laughs.
