I... I can only look though the window...
Oh hey, a new game came and there are already some mods for it out! Let's see what-

:nexus: posted:

It seems X4 has an overly amount of african characters. There is nothing wrong with that, but unfortunately the skins are made poorly and are an eyesore, espacially the hair look completely unrealistic.

This mod thus removes all african characters from the game and replaces them with europeans.

God drat it. :negative:

Nice, there are only 7 mods for X4 yet, one of them removes african characters and the other one adds brony player flags.

Edit: 'diversity' mod is already under moderation, but it was quickly reupped by someone else.

One of the first mods for Stellaris was basically this, and it got pulled off steam really quickly.

A lot of racist paradox fans (and there are a lot of them) got triggered by the fact that the default human leader is a black woman.

I mean, if you're a successful actress and you go out of the house in a skirt and without underwear, knowing that paparazzi are just waiting for opportunities like this and that it has happened many times before, then there's really nobody you can blame for it but yourself.
It was a "let's make all black people into white people because I want to pretend other races don't exist in space" mod.

A literal whitewashing mod, as it were.

I've been sitting here for 5 mins trying to think of a joke to make but I just realised the animators of Mass Effect already did it for me

Hell I always remember when Pillars of Eternity was coming out there were a lot of people upset that the sea faring trade empire of Valia was composed almost entirely of Ocean Folk, who are black people. And that is a complete fantasy setting. Just the idea that black people aren't automatically the lowest rung on the ladder of civilization upsets and unreasonable number of people.

It's ok to just stick with a single big one, so long as you make a point of being especially belligerent about it whenever someone criticizes you. Otherwise, at least three minor ones.

It's the "Emo Hitler"-style judo that the alt-right employs, where they use seemingly progressive statements to justify genocidal actions, such as voicing Islamophobia because of how they treat queer people (nevermind that they'll beat and/or death camp anyone LGBT if they got power) or the whole TERF nonsense.

Also the one black character model they showed as a reference picture looked perfectly fine aside from some dodgy hair texturing. There was nothing "ugly" about it in the way they tried to infer.

I didn't visit the link before it got culled, but I was figuring that the complaint "the skins are made poorly" and "the hair being unrealistic" really meant "the skins are too dark" and "the hair is nappy not straight"

There's like two black people in the entire game (model wise) and both look very good for Egosoft model work.

Considering all the white people look like they have some kind of radiation poisoning they've done fairly well.

The game came out 2 days ago, I legit think this guy picked a start that put him in the non human sections of space and landed at an alien dock. When landed at these docks the majority of the NPCs on board are the race of who owns that section, with the odd other races here and there. I think he landed in a paranid or teladi dock, saw that the only 2 humans on board were black, concluded that the game only made black people and started working on his crappy mod.


Like land at an Argon dock and they're mostly white

I don't know that I'd believe it's even a reaction to the game itself instead of something he'd planned to do before release. If any amount of black people is too much, and with games tending to not exclusively have white characters these days, he could've targeted just about any new moddable game.

I can't really blame them. If I was a commissioned artist, I wouldn't want to have to read everything I'm handed, either. I'd never get anything done, and with the fantasy genre being what it is... well, it's an understandable assumption to make.

I can blame the publisher for not being more specific when handing out the commission, though. And drat, that miniseries. Who okayed that, even?

I accidentally found the author of the mod on the X4 reddit and I though he might have been just not able to make the mod right so you can have the right "ratio" of black people from what he was saying but he's also a mod of almost every German neonazi and altright board on reddit so: you decide!

Let's be real, he's moderator of like 100 subreddits. There's no way that's anywhere close to being all of the neonazi subs.

Yes, but you see, my Artistic Vision is different from that mod.

Unless that mod also increases dong size, in which case it will be Creatively Inspired.
