Or a world where weirdos go all red string conspiracy theorist about any black character that shows up.
It’s a black woman who is a warrior, with natural hair in a practical cut.
But I mean, you’ve clearly got the tinfoil hat on, or are just someone trying to recruit for the culture war pretending to care about this stuff and can’t defend your point outside of throwing out vagueries and acting like they’re obvious truths.,
But everyone has a different fantasy, and I can easily see someone seeing her as a more power fantasy type, a strong warrior who looks like one. There’s room for all kinds of options that way. Like she’s a much different fantasy than Naldeia, and they cover more options that way.
i know, i said that. but i said also, that many would like idealism, and currently they arent getting that cause game makers are all going for the same realistic power type. in other words, they seem to think all black women want to or should want to be the power type.
I am not a fan of DEI by any means but I do think some people are looking to much into this.
If the argument is about the Female Paladin she reminds me of Vasquez from 1986 Aliens. There are other examples of female Soldiers in movies from the 80s and 90s this reminds me of.
The game hasn’t been released yet and none of us know the back story to this character.
Let’s hope she is not a Yrel and actually has some substance to her character.
faerin is more feminine than vasquez, but her femininity or lack thereof isnt the issue, in isolation. the issue is all the western game makers are making only vasquez-like black females. personally, i like faerin, but i am not a black female who is frustrated they are only represented as vasquez, but i understand why irija is not happy about it. also i dont play other games where this is an issue, cause i’m mostly wow only
i played the beta till max level and she was just like any other leader, gave alot of go do quests and filled in some of her back history. spoilers ahead i think her and anduin may have a solid friendship and she may even heal him of his depression, because shes been thru alot, too, but she just keeps on trucking. anduin never really had a mother figure. greymane was his temp dad but he never had a temp mom. thrall seems to have gotten him off his pity pot, but he’s still unsure of himself.
Blood Elves and by extension Void Elves should look feminine and be like a Disney Princess. Players don’t want to see, as you put it, the discernable jawline.
