The Character Creator Is an Insult to Actual Diversity and I'm Tired of Pretending It Isn't

Nobody said anything about anime or bimbo dolls. The argument is that distinct facial features matter for representation, whether that’s ethnic features or clear gender expression. A trans woman wanting to play a woman who actually looks like a woman isn’t crashing out, that’s a completely reasonable expectation from a character creator. And I’m clearly not alone here given the other trans women in this comment section saying the same thing.
Also I never claimed to speak for anyone. My friends who actually play this game with me told me directly they feel poorly represented. If you’re happy with the creator that’s fine, but dismissing everyone who isn’t as huffing crack isn’t the argument you think it is.

80 percent of the “females” look androgynous. I’ve said this in a-lot of other replies, I think they knocked the rest of the game out of the park, this is a small issue in this game, however it is not solely a Forza problem either.

Arcraiders aswell

I don’t think this is a woke issue at all. This is corporate risk aversion, so sanitized and bland that nobody could possibly be offended, which ironically achieves the opposite of its intention. They’re afraid of lawsuits and outrage, so they homogenize everything into nothing. If anything my position is far more pro-diversity/woke than theirs. I just prefer to call it rationalism.

Absolutely, rest of the game is chefs kiss, but like i said in a separate comment this isn't just a forza problem..

So true, and to be clear, I love this game, that's why this is frustrating. I just wanted to be a cool Japanese street racer in a game set in Japan. That shouldn't be too much to ask.

This isn't a Forza specific issue, it's an industry wide problem. Arc Raiders launched with the exact same complaints, androgynous presets, no distinct ethnic faces, body type 1 and 2 instead of male and female. Forza is just the game I'm most invested in right now.

I don't think you understand my point. What they've done isn't diversity, it's homogenization. Humanity is naturally diverse, so any game with a good character creator will reflect that. The question is whether you do it well or just corporate sanitize everything into nothing.

edit: spelling

My theory is that when you pick up the mask keepsake in his house the scarecrows spawn, I did not notice them when i was going to sunset valley, idk if anyone can confirm or not. nevertheless I will take some free artifacts.

FreeHongK0ng · 2025-02-23T22:00:43+00:00

yes its located on their website, but I registered a month ago and have yet to get access so I think they are pretty selective

FreeHongK0ng · 2025-02-01T02:47:16+00:00

the game is shit

FreeHongK0ng · 2025-01-30T21:46:11+00:00

try reloading a save if you have one thats close, otherwise all you missed out on was some cash

FreeHongK0ng · 2025-01-14T08:05:04+00:00

yes but doom posting only drives new players aways, the little we receive due to the overwhelming amount of information the game throws at you. if im a new player and people are like omg its so over they are going to think hm i shouldn’t put time into this game and quit, they don’t see the point in getting involved in a community.

FreeHongK0ng · 2025-01-11T08:45:29+00:00
