there are too many east asian skins

[upaasaka]

this is nothing against east asian people. i love all of asia. the issue is underrepresentation of others.it's disproportionate. for example there are no obviously indian skins. i really want an indian skin.


all these skins have explicitly east asian qualities:
crystal samurai
crystal kunoichi
crystal fighter
hex master


the rest of the skins are racially ambiguous except the 2 black skins & yuan itor (obviously hispanic, arguably a racist stereotype)

i think the community could be made a lot more inclusive & welcoming if we added some diversity to the skin options

[upaasaka]

also there were no east asians in salem

[shapesifter13]

Yuan Itor is actually a reference to the TV series Scrubs. It is spelled to try to be more obvious how it should be pronounced, though it might have missed the mark: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fdc765l9psM

Ganesh, Vishnu and Durga?

[Brilliand]

East Asian? As in, anime? That's really popular nowadays. Sure it's disproportionate in terms of race, but it's totally proportionate in terms of culture.

also there were no east asians in salem

I don't think there were any Medusas, Necromancers, Pirates, literal embodiments of Pestilence, Vampires, Werewolves, Witches, Crusaders, Spies, Retributionists, or Angels in Salem either. I fail to see the point here.

[TheFluffyWaffleV2]

I don't think there were any Witches,

The Massachusetts Court of Oyer and Terminer and Superior Court of Judicature would beg to differ

point is it's gonna be disproportionate it should b whites & blacks

it's weird having a bunch of asians

ur examples r irrelevnat cuz those r the roles in the game. that's y they're there.

but like i said i want indian skins i don't think it needs to be accurate

Unequal racial representation in Town of Salem avatars. Incredible.

If there were an Indian avatar, what role would it be for? I can’t think of a role to have that kind of aesthetic.
I guess it could be a stand alone skin, but it kind of just seems random.

the east asian skins don't fit in at all

[orangeandblack5]

Why the implication that people need to "fit in"? Is there something wrong with somebody being of a non-standard race?

I wouldn't be against skins of new ethnicities but I don't think a singular themed update that introduced several characters who share resemblance to people from one specific part of the real world is by any means a problem, and I suspect you know that too

[upaasaka]

also like out of all races to overrepresent...


east asians?


really?

[upaasaka]

THERE ARE ALREADY SO MANY

[orangeandblack5]

Assuming your list is complete

There was one

Then they added the Crystal Warriors pack

That's, like, obviously not a problem - it was one character, then they added a theme pack with a few more. It's not like they keep adding more and more, so I don't see whatever issue you seem to be having here

[Ezradekezra]

wow that's extremely racist

How long do you think it'll be until they notice the irony here?

A WHOLE PACK OF EAST ASIANS!

why does no one else get a pack?

I don't understand what that has to do with anything.

I'm referring to your comment regarding the PokeGo pack. You asked why there weren't any other themed packs, and I showed you one.

At this point I'm beginning to think that you're a troll...

[Robbytherobot]

Why does it matter what the skins look like?
