...but did they audition for this? ...was someone available with the required skills to do this job and was denied based on the colour of their skin? This production team doesn’t seem to be a bunch of ignorant rich white people making dumb decisions.

What makes you think I said that?

Why are we so certain that someone who had the right look (age adjusted version of another character) and right skin tone was even available? Why are we so inclined to criticize it from this angle? I mean, I ask that because CLEARLY WE ARE - I’m not trying to undermine this angle, I’m trying to comprehend it.

It seemed clear to me the casting was based on looking like an age-shifted version of another person. Does that change the standards here? To my eyes the skin tones are not radically different, but they are different.

I found images through Google of the character and the actor. Yes, it is darker. Does it covey a different racial identity? Welp, it sure doesn’t to me - but this comment thread exists because I have no idea what the hell is going on here. 

I don’t understand why this is an objectionable thing. I’d appreciate it very much if someone with patience took the time to explain it. Apologies in advance, I’m sure the existence of this comment will not sit well with people who already understand this better than I do.

He wanted a lot of sex, and I was content with very little. I came to believe he was content too

and convincing myself that I can change the way my body naturally wants to be

So do we have a specific allegation of what he did yet?

I really don’t think the criticism on theme is on the mark. I’ve noticed there is a deep fanbase for the previous Dune game that is confounded by this game. In terms of theming a eurogame on an IP, I rather felt this game got top marks. But...its still a game that is tune to mechanics, and is not going to compromise…

Women that look like her do not go for average guys like him (or me) unless the guy has money or power.

literally canonically queer

I don’t think you understand Canada. The Canadian Tuxedo is not a symbol of class or privilege, as all stratas of social class will use it. Its one of the reasons Canada is awesome

These statements seem incredibly tame to make such a fuss about. This seems well within the territory of “we can use these do demonstrate what is wrong about them, without pissing off to many people in the process” rather than a reason to part ways with his artistic contributions.

We snuck a few mickeys of rum into In The Name of The King (a Dungeon Siege Tale) to spike our duly purchased fountain beverages. By the end of that terrible, terrible movie we were fighting over the scraps of alcohol left VERY loudly.

I really do think our society needs a mechanism to properly brief people on what horny dudes get up to between the ears. Its awful and the source of much darkness in our society, but we can’t address it until we name it.

I guess I will clarify for the combative types.

Some jurisdictions don’t have that. Like mine. Zero inspections unless you change provinces.

It never read as intending to be funny to me.

They saw—even more clearly than us, I’m sure—the pure inanity and cowardly artistic choices of Rise of Skywalker
