This is a fantasy world. It does NOT represent the real world. And even if it would, there are areas in the world with little to no variety in skin colour. Like China. Or Japan. Or Saudi-Arabia. Or South Africa. Or Norway.

Is it OK to ask for a white character in a game set in South Africa? No? Well, same applies here.

Or, in other words, if I want the Iron Hills represented from Tolkien, I want no elves or krakens there. Because that's not where those belong. That's a dwarven territory, and they ain't welcoming.

Not everything must be a melting pot, most settings aren't. Go away!

How did you get this triggered over a request for diversity? Syl’Anar is literally a melting pot of human races that colonized elvish land, this means ALL humans are not native to Syl’Anar, but you’re pissed off specifically about the black ones? Even just the request for it? There are even black elves in Syl’Anar already. Are you stupid or blind?

Hey, you do realize that white people make up  a good chunk of South Africa, right? They make up roughly 7.27% of the population according to the 2022 census so it wouldn't be illogical or unreasonable to have white people in a game based on that area. I understand your point though but please realize that my opinion had no political meaning or anything to do with wokeness. It was simply an opinion and that is it. I did go more in depth about my reasoning in a comment further down so if that helps with understanding a bit of where I'm coming from then that is good. I had no intention of starting any drama. Have a nice day.
