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.
i dont mind fantasy worlds that have lands where black people live. and i'm fine with the rare person of those lands coming to other lands if it makes sense.
witcher 1 is an example with Azar Javed. far away land, sorcerer (read powerful).
random people being black? okay you require a roman like empire.
