We hate that there's so much bad faith criticism of the Diverse Stardew mod because it makes it hard for us to talk about the, objectively minor, issues we have with the mod
The two biggest being we wish that there was an option to run the incompatible characters with SVE. We already have other mods using temporary actors that change sprites so the inconsistencies wouldn't bug us, and the bigger one is we really really wish the native Leah option kept her red hair.
This is a personal experience thing but we have family and friends who are indigenous with brighter coloured hair, either dye or natural, and its an experience that doesn't get talked about but we've seen them get so much shit about it.
We'll never forget a friend of ours talking about how her parents screamed at her for dying her hair because "native people don't have red hair you stupid shit". And that attitude was constant, our cousin who inherited my side of the families blonde hair instead of his dad's black was always questioned about it and call a pretendian.
It would have been a really cool piece of representation to keep her hair red either natural looking or dyed with dark roots, and we wish they did it.
