Still trying to think of that joke

me: all in ! (PUSHES PILE OF SOIL INTO THE MIDDLE OF THE TABLE)

guy: who fucking invited this guy. he always pulls some shit like this i’m so tired of it

me: looks like things are getting Dirty!

guy: that’s barely a pun. i think i’m straight up going to kill you now

me; erm… yikes! (I START STUFFING MY JACKET WITH THE SOIL TO LEAVE)

mob boss who invited me: ey now… you made a bet…. you see the cards, you play em…

me: wha… ga… but…

(MOB BOSS REVEALS A FLUSH. I ONLY HAVE A TWO PAIR)

mob boss: well… heh heh… guess that’s the way the Gabagool crumbles… (BEGINS TO PULL THE SOIL TOWARDS HIM & SNEAKS A LITTLE BITE OF IT)

guy and me in unison looking at camera: hooy capunkus…

come on man 😭

Okay, but jokes aside. I really don't want any drama or harassment or anything like that, but it genuinely baffles me how many times I've seen blatant whitewashing for this game. Thankfully its not as bad as in other fandoms, but the number of these things should be straight up zero.

How do you come into a game whose entire identity is built upon most of the characters being poc and then throw it all out of the window? Gacha games are right there for you if you wish to draw light-skinned person number 387635.

Worst is that many folks who do it are clearly skilled artists who could execute it perfectly if they just gave a bit more care. It's not hard to color pick, I promise. (And in this specific case, it goes even beyond the color of the skin - why would you straighten out a character's hair when it's clearly textured?)

Anyway, when a question about anyone's skin color arises, please consult this official message by Frankie, the developer of the game:
