I don’t think Hestia has vitiligo. She’s the goddess of the hearth. I’m pretty sure she’s just covered in soot.
It's modern day. It's the skin condition.
I think that was the intent, but then her clothes are perfectly clean so it fails to give the proper impression there.
Its early access and a lot of characters are literally still sketches or placeholder floating cloaks, so there is a non-zero chance she gets changed before 1.0 like a lot of them did back in the first game's EA.
Otherwise they really did make the only outright black character also a complete Aunt Mammy stereotype.
Hestia is typically portrayed as having soot all over the hem of her dress, with a cheerful smile. It's the inspiration for the character of Cinderella in fact.
Not... Whatever that is.
I think they wanted to go the “welcoming granny” route for their version. She does have a cheerful smile when she hasn’t been face swapped with Uncle Ruckus. I’m not saying it’s necessarily a great adaptation, just that I don’t think it’s supposed to be vitiligo.
Which itself would be out of character for Hestia. She's a young appearance virgin goddess, the first of them in fact.
The portrayal is at best abject ignorance. And I'm done giving the benefit of the doubt to leftoids, ever. I'll always assume malice.
Commie fags have accompllished much using the "never assume malice when it could be stupidity" fallacy pushed as cover.
