        This article mentions that the game industry is mostly white males, and yet this game is mostly made by Japanese people.

        Not to discount the lack of proper representation in games, but a 100% Japanese company's racial insensitivity isn't a *white* gaze problem.

        so blue and green hair is acceptable for the other groups, what type of bias is that. if you want a politically correct game, make it.pic.twitter.com/tWlA0nPt7G

        i would welcom this argument, if this game was realistic in its entirty, but its not. we have noodles, swirls, paper thin hair, and robots.

        I think the sexualization of brown female characters is way more apparent with Twintelle than anything to do with hair.

        I acknowledge your feelings, experiences, and opinion, but I don't think hair is the foremost problem with her design.

        It seems a bit reach-y with her in particular. Totally understand the critique concerning lack of representation of black hair in games tho

        I see what the problem is with her hair colour. But I find it's use as weapon quite empowering; locks/long hair are often looked down at.

        Also, Nintendo isn't a group of racist white males, this game was made by Japanese males and female

        Surprise surprise, nothing relating to video gaming just an irrelevant pet peeve.
