9.1.5 Character Customizations: New and Improved You

At this point, is there a reason why Tauren are the only race with so little face diversity?

You can’t say “bEcAuSe FuRrY” since Worgen have 16 F and 7 M faces, Pandaren 20 F and 21 M faces, and Vulpera 6 F and 6 M faces.

People are identified by our faces (see: picture ID, passports). Why are you missing this opportunity to gain parity of identity for Tauren? You guys are the ones who copypasta’d a mishmash of different Native American cultural themes and motifs into Tauren. Do you realize the implication is the Native American-based race doesn’t deserve to have individuality like the other races? That they all look the same? The cattle connotations are cringeworthy enough (e.g., subhuman, ripe for slaughter), but then you guys make it so much worse when you don’t give them the same level of fundamental differentiation (i.e., faces) as other races.

It’s 2021 and while you guys are tooting the diversity, equity, and inclusion horn, maybe address how low key racist your fantasy depiction of Native Americans is. :thinking: :woman_facepalming:

While I’m at it…
Pandaren could use some actual facial structure differentiation a la Vulpera snout shapes.

Troll males and Goblin males only have 5 face options, too. Why? You guys should really work on parity for the “primitive” “tribal” races. :thinking:
