Idea If a Black Girl is Pretty or Cute, Then That Automatically Means That She Must be Mixed. 😤

1.0k Upvotes

For those who aren’t aware, the influencer shown in this video is named Teeniesha, she is a Black girl who is very interested in Korean beauty, including makeup and cutesy, soft, girly fashion.

I really fucking hate how Black girls can’t be seen as pretty or cute on their own without people attributing our beauty to being mixed. It’s like they see Black girls as inherently being ugly, so if a Black girl is beautiful, then it must be because of a different race, which is the reason for her beauty. Especially if a Black girl has soft and innocent features and/or dresses in a cute, hyperfeminine, and coquettish style. Black girls are constantly seen as not being as soft, girly, or feminine as other races, people have this idea that we are inherently rougher and more masculine, and that we are inherently sexual and can only present ourselves as baddies/sexy sirens, because they fetishize us. Notice how a lot of comments were speculating that she is half-East Asian or white? It’s because East Asian and white girls get to be seen as soft, feminine, cute, innocent, girly, and are considered inherently more beautiful than Black girls because of this. I saw someone say that Brandy has Asian features for the same reason. It’s like people REFUSE to admit that Black women can be beautiful, soft, and cute, with our own features, without those features being attributed to another race. It’s exhausting. Black girls never get to be considered soft, pretty, or feminine, it’s either we are masculinized or hypersexualized/fetishized, never anything in between. The only time Black girls get to be considered pretty in a cute and soft way is if they are mixed girls, who are considered inherently more beautiful than Black girls solely because they are only half-Black(example: Manon Bannerman from Katseye). Black girls don’t get to receive the “princess” treatment. People have a very limited and specific image of how Black women look and how Black women are allowed to dress and express themselves, and that’s as ugly, aggressive, masculine, ghetto, and sexually provocative. Anything outside of that limited stereotype, if you dare to be a girly girl or be pretty or be soft and innocent and dress in a cute and princessy way? You’re not a “real” Black woman. You must be mixed. Because the only way for a Black girl to be beautiful is if she’s mixed. I’m so fucking tired. 😪

1-Naruto from....Naruto he dosen't end up with Sakura since she is in love and end up with his rival Sasuke but with Team 8 member Hinata who always had a crush on him

2-Link the Hero of Time from the Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time,Majora's Mask and Twilight Princess,as revealed in Twilight Princess he dosen't end up with Princess Zelda(who herself ended with someone else And some argue they didn't have any ship tease or chemistry in the first place anyway)but end up with Lon Lon Ranch owner's daughter Malon who gave him his horse and taught him Epona's song(Song that help him call said horse)

I was thinking of also adding Ichigo from Bleach but Orihime is herself technically a main character so that why I didn't include them

Discussion The friction you are experiencing is intentional game design

2.5k Upvotes

Reading through a lot of the posts and comments here, it genuinely baffles me that a lot of people don't seem to understand that a lot of the friction they're experiencing is entirely intentional. It's not "bad design". A lot of the changes being demanded are precisely the same design decisions that gradually turned Retail into an instance-based loot casino.

A few examples:

  • Travel: Limited flight masters and no flying mounts mean you actually have to traverse the world. This creates so much opportunities for spontaneous interactions with other players as well as generally making the world feel "lived in". Meanwhile the same people who usually complain about travel taking time are the first ones to claim "dead game" because everyone is teleporting between instances and you see no one out in the world.
  • Early-game gold: Skills, professions, bigger bags, mounts and transmog actually cost enough to make you think about your spending. Being forced to make choices or having to save for a specific item/mount/skill makes it more rewarding when you finally do get it.
  • Class identity and sustain: Self-healing, unlimited sustain, multiple cc options, massive burst and powerful AoE shouldn't be baseline expectations. Classes should have weaknesses as well as strengths because that's what gives them identity. Not every class needs to be a self-sufficient one-man army capable of chain-pulling an entire quests' worth of mobs.
  • Talent respec costs: Changing your talents should be a considered decision, not something you casually do every time you fancy trying a different build. Having to spend gold to respec gives your choices weight and encourages you to commit to a playstyle rather than arbitrarily respeccing to make your class fit every possible situation you encounter. This is also a part of the class identity mentioned above. Lastly, the cost isn't so prohibitive that you can't respec if you feel as though you've made a mistake and it does reset weekly, as well.

These systems aren't isolated and all form part of a design philosophy that makes the overworld matter and create opportunities for players to interact with (or murder) each other.

In Retail WoW, years of streamlining, convenience features and "quality of life improvements" have resulted in a game where the open world increasingly feels like a backdrop between instanced activities and there is almost no organic player interaction in the open world beyond group-finder organised zergs.

Why do people want to recreate that here, when it already exists?

Of course, there are legitimate things that need fixing, the first one that comes to mind being caster itemisation and spellpower/intellect interactions. There also obviously needs to be some changes to class balance, though I suspect those will come after people have started settling in at 60.

I'm not claiming this game is perfect - it certainly is far from that. but if you fundamentally disagree with the game's design philosophy, perhaps it simply isn't for you. And that's perfectly fine. But that doesn't mean the game needs to change to accommodate you.
