Do you think woke people would accept it if you made a game set in a traditional african village and for some reason there were White people in african clothes just wondering about like they belong there? (Remember they complained about White actors in the crowd in the Aladdin live action movie https://archive.ph/84oi2)
Thats what i think when i see some games that randomly shove black npcs in East Asian or European settings.
Rune factory 6 (edit: sorry i meant Rune factory Guardians of Azuma) has black npcs despite being set in a feudal Japan setting. (and also lgbt but i already knew they had gone woke since rune factory 5 when they added gay marriage in that one too when the localizers asked them to)
Edit: lol redditors downvoting me.
The one setting I'll not only accept it, but commend the realism is bleak near-future settings like Starfield. Most people being some kind of dysgenic mutt is a brilliant illustration of what would be the result of the kelgeri plan coming to fruition. Can't go too far into the future with that, as eventuality human populations would homogenize into distinct phenotypes again. But Bethesda, entirely by accident, made everyone perfectly ugly.
