Now i need a male version i am deadass serious.

@Kotekiiiii And also. Block me before you’re satisfied i am not done with your AI usage argument. You’re dismissing real human art work labelling and calling boycott.

@Theez03 I hope you start listening to peoppe with patricias skin tone rather then those without who use the diversiry of black skins tones to push their bias for lighter tones so they can erase darker ones

Hey Marvel Rivals fans. Netease has been Gen Ai/Ai upscale in our game identity V as well. We're currently boycotting the game for its ai and racism. Please join our boycott and our days of mass protest May 20th and June 1st.

@Kotekiiiii If you think i side with them so be it but i ALSO understand their perspective. I don’t simply just side with NAEU after reading their side of the story. And you can still boycott and i will still continue to pay for what the employees deserved.

@Theez03 I'm not discussing with you further. Its become very clear to me you value cn users opinions above all. The screenshots you shared have not changed my mind but have only shown me the worst side of cn. For someone advocating for them you really have chosen comments

@Kotekiiiii Either way, i am done with my thread. Have a nice day.

@Kotekiiiii People forget he’s literally named after William Webb Ellis, a white Englishman from the 1800s who invented rugby. IDV bases almost all its characters on historical or literary figures. On top of that, the developers officially describe his skin tone in Chinese as '小麦色'

@Kotekiiiii (wheat/bronze skin), which is standard anime/gaming shorthand for a heavily tanned athlete, not a statement on his race. If NetEase wanted him to be explicitly Black, they would have written it into his lore like they did with Enchantress.

@Kotekiiiii “I like pancake oh so you dislike waffle” ahh kind of conclusion . You know it’s sensitive for them to release new “darker skin characters” because in the end of the day they will never ever satisfied all the black people in this world.

@Theez03 Yeah perspectives exist and it seems clear to me you only value china servers opinions, over people like me who live in England, and people with patricias skin tone.

@Kotekiiiii And i believe IDV is china main production, birthplace and thus they value china’s opinion. They like it, they keep it. “If global dislike it, they can delete and move on”.

@Kotekiiiii Both CN and NAEU (glad-fully i am NOT from either) are pretty shitty anyway. The west always portrays china as CCP controlling netizen freedom where there isn’t even any in the first place and shit talking about them all over the internet and that’s very sensitive for them. Gaf?

@VenFromBelow @Kotekiiiii If they make a character with lighter skin tone then guess which region of players will cry over “stereotyping black people as white”? No. I am not falling for racism. It’s just that perspective exists and shouldn’t be LIMITED to one. That’s like limiting options.

@Theez03 @Kotekiiiii if they want a black character with a lighter skin then maybe they should make a character who has the lighter skin instead of whitewashing one of their only two black characters. they don't want to represent light skin girls you're just falling for racist and colorist excuses

@Kotekiiiii shouldn’t jump into conclusions.

@Kotekiiiii And perspective exists? William from the backstory is depicted as white SAME like his brother . And i don’t think IDV has even mentioned that william is a black person so where is that info coming from? I believe this is netease fault for not clarifying CLEARLY but still we-

@Kotekiiiii Isn’t this discriminating other black people with lighter skin tone as well? This is like limiting black people from wearing lighter make up and “oh they are poor they cant wear make up”. We are stereotyping them into the newer gen.

@Theez03 People who are the same colour as patricia are asking her not to be lightened. I do not understand

@Kotekiiiii Thats your brother. This is william. Look. We are both 23 i suppose. I used to agree with the racism BUT not everything is just one sided. This will mislead people thinking “oh idv is racist” where idv fandom majorly is just brainrotted people making fanfin cannon.

@Theez03 My brother plays rugby in england and he never got as tanned as william.

@Kotekiiiii I think this is a 2 way miscommunication. Yeah. I don’t agree with idv global perspective anymore and FORWARD is a tanned white (or latino) teen who has been outside the field most of the time. Not black.

@Kotekiiiii tone and embody the black people only exist as “dark” type. China players don’t gave a fck to global demand since we have been shit talking about their gov ccp which is a very sensitive issue just as it is like the skin issue colour to the characters but we dgaf about them.

@183__Top Proof?😆

Many comments view the Western backlash as an extension of forced political correctness and hyper-fixation on race. Multiple users deflect the criticism by pointing out western media choices, specifically asking why the live action little mermaid was cast with a black actress.

arguing that domestic games are not obligated to follow Western standards of political correctness or representation since global players always insult China government (CCP and stuff) without any shame. Chinese players value and don’t quite has an issue with the gov, only global

Addressing whitewashing perspectives from China POV in #IdentityV #idv (a 🪡🧵) I dug deeper into the whitewashing discourse from the perspective of Chinese players, and honestly… what I found was kinda eye-opening lol. I noticed that many users on QQ and Weibo (main socmed)-

people that keep saying china is under ccp control and whatsoever that they are reflecting the same energy back calling idv to not cater to foreign players. 2. By changing patricia skin tone according to global demands, it’s a straight up discrimination (which i agree).
