i really appreciate seeing all the posts on my dash recently to the effect of "shutting down conversations about race/gender/minorities in fandom spaces because 'fandom is meant to be fun' is just an excuse to not think critically about the bigoted behaviors you are exhibiting". i hope that this energy carries over into the gaming sphere next pleaaseee
pokemon is a series about building Your own team and going on Your own adventure with creatures that You collect and befriend, and is designed from the ground up to be personal and immersive. i have never been able to look like myself in a pokemon game. if i bought pokemon z a today and booted it up and tried to customize myself, i would not be able to look like myself. just fuck me i guess.
ok yay
I love playing Final Fantasy XIV but their refusal to have any sort of curly hair due to "technical limitations" is getting more and more frustrating and pissing me off ngl. look at this hairstyle contest winner vs how it's implemented in game.
this is as curly as the game lets you be. but don't worry, we've got 50,000 different ways to have straight hair.
hey i need you to know i check the notes for this post every now and then and what you just said is likely the scariest example of anything i've heard mentioned so far HELLO????
