Three games used as proof of devs promoting "white beauty standards" were made entirely in Japan. Ignorance of your subject matter showing.

I'm friends with one of the digital artists working on this game. She said the character was based off of research into Ethiopian culture.
-
(cont'd) that's not to say the game can't be racist, but it's rash to call her character design "exotified" when it might be accurate.
-
Ethiopian culture, interesting. Can the artist speak further to this, are they on twitter or other social media?

So it is the official position of
@femfreq that African-like or similar cultures should not be represented in video games. That seems racist -
Nice concern trolling.
-
Not trolling, but thanks.
-
No, you're obviously trolling, because the only way you could've missed the point so completely is intentionally.
-
I didn't miss anything. They are saying that this representation of African culture in video games is unacceptable. That seems racist, no?
-
Yes, because this is a misrepresentation of African culture.
-
Are you saying fantasy settings can only reference cultures perfectly and to the letter? That seems creatively stifling and lazy.
-
What's lazy is this character's design. It's not unique, it's stereotypical and offensive.
