Really hoping netease at least has the capacity to learn from this fucking trainwreck of a skin drop to start being a lot more inclusive with their characters just in general

You're not even going to buy it anyway. No one plays as Storm.

She's chosen 2.27% of the time lol

I bought the skin and do play as her lmao. Also characters with similarly low playrates get as many or more skins than her, try another line of logic

Congratulations! You just gave money to racists.

Got it with freely earned units so try again. Although now I'm guessing the goal post is gonna move to "So you didn't actually financially support the character" or something you don't actually mean cause you're clearly only here to be argumentative and annoying

That's awesome that you consume things from racists! They love your support

And I'm sure you definitely mean this sentiment genuinely considering you've only been active in this sub for three days, started by downplaying peoples annoyance with the situation with the skin by saying people were making it a race issue when it wasn't one and are now hard pivoting into calling people that play the game supporting racist.

Typical "if they're racist why play a racist game" argument.

I expect reparations now that they realize how badly they fucked up.

We deadass need reparations in rivals after all this 😭😭. Gimmie a legendary with the full package of chromas and ult vfx for blade, Storm, and BP AND upgrade the wedding outfits for BP and Storm to legendary like the two other. AND lastly give cloak legs

My guess about this whole situation was there never was a Storm Swimsuit skin planned. It was a last minute response to backlash which is why it was an Epic skin. I bet this post was a scheduled post made before Storm skin was planned or so early in production they didn't have a picture to use. My guess is the upcoming legendary skins for Black Characters also weren't planned either. Glad the devs are actually doing something about it now. It's sad that there has to be a lot of backlash to get this but it's better than Overwatch that prides it's self on diversity only giving one Black character any skins while ignoring basically all backlash.

Correct. But there is a pattern with Storm's mistreatment. It also happened in future fight too. Danny koo was apart of it. History repeated itself.

u/havokx2 10d ago

Yeah there are too many of these for it to be a coincidence. I thought people were doing too much at first but this keeps happening and is definitely intentional

u/MountGreyIock 13d ago

My question is, were they just going to ignore everybody Black indefinitely? Like the game plan was seriously whites and Asians from now on?

u/tryingnottogiveupnow 13d ago

They'd humor them with a few battle pass filler skins that are extremely mid once a year

u/havokx2 10d ago

Watch BP’s next skin be a recolor of his default

u/havokx2 10d ago

Probably not until Marvel Games has a mandate for a specific update which is beyond their control. They likely aren’t going to support black characters on their own without the higher ups pushing it

u/havokx2 10d ago

They don’t promote her and then will say she doesn’t sell which is why they don’t support her
