Nah the Miles Morales one is so annoying
And they also gave this hairstyle to Miles' little sister in the comic books I was like,"Why the heck would they start her off with that hairstyle?" To top it off it looked bad because half of her head was shaved off with the Killmonger dreads.
Yep it is true. I did realize this till I watched another video on this topic and....WOW. Its really pathetic yall. They could have come up with something way better than that suit and that hairstyle for Spider Man and other franchisees.
Now game company have nothing to complain about
stop this nonsese, because its never enough.
screaming "there is no representation" then when represented, "there are no hair styles" then when new hairstyles are introduced, "these are afro typical"
what is it that gives satisfaction ?????
can we not all just enjoy games for what they are? do we always have to see ourselves in video games ???
thats why we cant have nice things
This "nosese" is asking for more than the bare minimum. No one is 'screaming' about anything.
Sometimes people want to be represented more accurately in a game- why do you have a problem with that?
When Tekken 8 came out, did you have an issue with the many customization options? No?
What about Soul Calibur's system? No?
So why is it black people asking to have something that looks more accurate makes you upset?
You literally don't lose anything.
We are not asking for unreasonable things AT ALL. In video games with customizable characters, there is always a plethora of options for straight and wavy hair types. However, when you look to options for 3a-4c hair types there is a VERY limited selection. Let’s take Nintendo Mii’s as an example. There are SO many options for straight and wavy hair, but when looking for 3a-4c options there is the bare minimum of options. This wouldn’t be an issue if the hair style options for all types of hair have the same quantity and they are all very typical hair styles for that texture, but we don’t see that. It seems like there is only about 1 black hair style for every 10 none black hairstyles in these video games.
Dang, if it annoys you that much then there's a lot more behind your feelings than us complaining about video game hairstyles lol.
There’s plenty of white characters with different styles so why not do the same for everyone else?
it's not for representation, it's for diversity and fairness. how come white/fair-skinned characters can have such a variety of hairstyles in video games, but not darker skinned characters? the high top swooped dreads appear in every male black character. the 3c-4c hair appears in every black female character. even the afro appears sometimes, but is misused and does not represent black people in a good way. not only hairstyles, but also religious headwraps/headpieces. when was the last time you saw a hijabi girl/a hijab option in a video game?
