These threads seem to focus on dark brown skin, which does not exist in game currently, but we are
willing to compromise and be very much happy and content with just a dark skin tone for a fantasy race
such as trolls, night elves, orcs, or draenei. It is alright if it is not dark brown, but a dark blue, green,
pink, or purple, even dark gray skin tones would make an enormous difference. Inclusion provides am
awesome contrast to an already present majority. The crux of it is, World of Warcraft follows a very
monotone casting for it's characters. This single tone, is light skin, whether blue, green, or purple. Not
every race has to be given dark skin, this may be an additional task of lower priority that can constrain
resources. Merely implementing one dark skin tone for one race, is adequate, and will alleviate the
disparity that comes with having a complete light skinned population and a complete absence of dark
skin. Adding one dark skin option accommodates dark skin into the kingdom of Azeroth and beyond! :)
It is to positively portray dark skin in media that makes a huge difference and brings in so much more
consumers in a positive and diverse manner. One which celebrates involvement, versatility, and
customization.
Here I will attempt to just include details: All of the humans are 'white'. All of the blood elves are
'white'. All of the undead are 'white'. It can be easy to forget, as we do not often pay attention to the
topic of representation to those whom are not often represented-but upon inspection, it becomes real.
One must see it to believe it, and here is the darkest possible skin tone for the human
female: http://i.imgur.com/J4FqKET.jpg
I understand that perhaps the intention was to not allow humans to be dark due to a resemblance to the
'Vrykul' as norse vikings. Also perhaps, that they originated from Northrend and have adapted to the
climate. But the topic of adaptation and real-world resemblance, does not sound as a separate fantasy
identity, it seems as if details from the real world and it's race is being carried down into this game and
used for the Human characters. It seems to be an unintentional double-standard as well, since trolls take
Jamaican culture, but do not utilize dark blue skin, and humans utilize a culture but proudly showcase
light skin. The way trolls is that they do not integrate dark-skin. This is not to reproach blizzard, I wish
for discourse and an official opinion on the matter. Thank you.
