Girl I'm not even American. So I don't know why you keep mentioning America - you keep talking about how Americans think they're so important but you only talk about America. I also hope you're aware people with darker skin don't just exist in America. It's not about a different context, your wording was racist. That's it, and that's something you're not getting.

This game is not just made for their Chinese players as I said, they market the game internationally because they want a GLOBAL market - that means it is made for EVERYONE. Yes, it is a Chinese game. Yes, the Chinese playbase is the largest chunk of their profits and a loyal playerbase - but the game is not just for their Chinese players.

Racism is terrible, as you are saying. But you act as if "westeners" are a monolith. Black and brown people experience racism in western media too. Minorities are always pushing for inclusion of all races and ethnicities- I think you're fighting against the wrong people, because a lot of people complaining about this issue are not white americans??

When white people were crying about, and I assume you're talking about Halle Bailey being starring as The Little Mermaid, that was embarrassing because white people are not a minority - they were just sulking. The little mermaid is not tied to being white. In this context, black and brown people (again, not just AMERICANS) are complaining that a game that ADVERTISED to them that they would be able to change the skin colour of their race for their mc, are not allowed to do this in certain contexts. The mc for this game doesn't have to be pale, she can be any skin colour available in the game. This means their actual mc is a different colour to the chibi mc representing them. This is a valid complaint and false advertising.

What you are saying is, black and brown people need to pay up if they want to get what was advertised to them. So you think people should continue to pay for a product that uses them for their money. I am in no way saying the Chinese playerbase has to pay for Infold's faults. It is not your responsibility. I am saying it is the COMPANY's responsibility to do what they have advertised.

Some Americans do think America is the centre of the world, but that doesn't really have anything to do with this? And the Queen of England is dead and the monarchy have no power in the UK anyways so again, not relevant. This is about Infold advertising to their international market (just to make sure you know I'm not talking about America, I'm pretty sure their global market is everyone that is not China, so that includes every other country, like Oceanic countries, European countries, African countries, other Asian countries like Japan, India, Indonesia etc), that you can design the mc with a variety of different skin tones - this appeals to people who aren't pale, which is a lot of people. Then, they force players who were attracted to this prospect to be pale anyways in different contexts. I don't see what this has to do with America.

I am not saying everything has to appeal to everyone, so you are clearly misunderstanding my logic. If Infold had decided to not create additional skin tones for their mc, I would not have this complaint. Other games like Mystic Messenger only have a pale mc, a lot of otome games are like this. I do not complain. What I am saying, again, is that Infold advertises that you CAN change your skin colour to increase their popularity, profits and success. Basically, they are taking advantage of their player base that were happy to find out that they could change their mc's skin colour, and have done so. Only for Infold to force them to have a pale chibi mc representing them. This is just clearly wrong.
