    I want to think this was just a troll article...I really REALLY hope it was. Because I'm more than happy to think I was trolled on this, because if I have to take this article seriously, there's no end to the problems I have with it. This is a tumblr post from Bikini Armor Battle Damage who argues that the customization in For Honor, while allowing for female and black customization in gender and skin respectively, is still not inclusive because the default look is white and male. Not only this but the armor choices for the women are too sexist and obviously have bad priorities. This...is a really cringe article.
    Alright, here's hoping ya'll get something out of it, because I couldn't stand it.

    I fell in love with warlord because of the way he fights and presents himself, I changed his skin color to match mine because I wanted to roleplay as this dude. there has NEVER been a moment where I said, "man its unfortunate that warlord is canonically a white dude. if only he was brown then I would love to play as him". no, what ran through my head as I was playing for honor, was the thought of holding down a point. the thrill of defending an area to the last man, and having a hail of warriors rain upon me with there weapons as their will, and their conviction as their armor. all of that racing to C point. if Ubisoft never added the change skin feature I would not have cared because warlord is a beast. (and many other warriors as well, but warlord is my fav.)

      Same with anti-sexist or feminists that strive for equality turn out to be the most misandrist, male hating people ever. Let’s be honest, this generation is filled with insecure people that their actions go against their intentions. Feminists strive for equality yet they wish the eradication of males. Black Lives Matter movement wanted equality to all races yet they want to demonise all white men, even if they haven’t done anything. And all these trans and non-binaries strive to be included and a part of society, yet they push anyone away for being slightly ignorant, even if they are just polite.

    I see a lot of cool theroies on why the for honor warriors can have different skin tones, so here’s my theory: The landmass of heathmoor might have had immigrants that came from an African-like continent or culture, that moved to heathmoor (similar to the wu lin). However, due to them being surrounded by other cultures, the immigrants would eventually be assimilated with the continents other cultures, and knowlage of the African civilization would fade, with the immigrants and their descendents having children with heathmoors natives. These descendants would instead end up identifying as part of the knights vikings or samurai. And, due to the fact that heathmoor is in a constant state of war, Im PRETTY sure that armies wouldn’t care about your skin tone if you could weild a weapon well enough to be a soldier.

      I bet the knights don’t really care as long as they get more soldiers in their rank, though the vikings are usually pale-skinned, I can see them converting captured immigrant knights or travelers into their armies.
      For the samurai, I’m not really sure, but it’s plausible, if the immigrants manage to survive the poisonous swamp and are willing to assimilate into Japanese culture I can see that happening.

    So, to use an example I'm sure is near to all our hearts, when you reach the unmodded character creator for Skyrim, the first thing presented to you is a male Nord. So although you can switch to another race, skin color, and gender with just one click of a button and design your ideal fantasy character, it's bad that the male Nord is the first option you see? Am I understanding this correctly?

      The default she was speaking about isn't really about a character generator, it's about how creators go about making characters in literature, movies, cartoons, series, etc. At least in my experience, it's bad enough that various critics raise questions when, say, protagonist is female. So making a character anything other than male of same culture and race than the author has to be justified, has to have some special purpose.

    • @Gheedish
      @Gheedish Před 2 lety +2

      The actual "Default and Deviation" point is usually present in cartoons where a non-human character with no gendered traits is assumed and presented as being the male and the exact same character with long hair, eyelashes, or lipstick is female. This article is all over the place but the point they were trying to make is that raider is a male and you can make raider a female by slapping boobs on him. They clearly don't understand what they're talking about so that point should just be disregarded.

    I personally play Conq because I find the 'Redeemed Prisoner' archetype pretty fun. I also really like the flail (even though I think a Mace would be better) as a weapon, and the executions are brutal like a Murderer would be (as most are convicted Prisoners, usually Murderers).
    I don't care what skin tone he is, or even if the default was female (I would certainly have questions, and possibly criticize historical accuracy, but considering the Flail was basically untouched irl, such criticisms would be useless). I personally see the way they are right now as pretty fair and reasonable, allowing male and female of multiple skin tones (as others have pointed out, the continents pretty much played Red Rover and mashed into one another so mixing of skin would likely occur), and people do know that there's more than a single Warden, Warlord, Raider, ect. This isn't Overwatch wherw there's individuals who look a certain way canonically. There's probably thousands, each unique, and so that allows you to create your own and say 'yeah, he/she was there'.

    And going back to when the game release with the OG 12 Heroes
    Warden, Berzerker and Orochi are female by default.
    And if we talk about the newer heroes, Shaman is Female only and Hitokiri and Jorm are also Female by default.
    Oh and I wouldn't exactly call the Default skin color "White"
    It's more like a "Tan" color, while the actual white it's more like Pale

    Actually, the real reason many characters like valkry and nobushi have masks and all the men have beards to cover their faces is that the developers didn't want to mess around with face rigs. Having something to cover their face means you don't need to bother doing that. We are all aware of the uncanny maskless expressions. I think that's one big reason why all the default classes and default armors had face coverings or beards. I might be wrong but as an aspiring game designer I can say that doing this would make the game a lot easier to develop and release on time.

    Regarding Nobushi. Is that Tumblrite aware of the fact that Nobushi and Shugoki are literally two different classes of heroes? Nobushi is a Hybrid while Shugoki is a Heavy.
    Wanna know what other Samurai Hybrid wears little to no armor? Aramusha. Which is also male genderlocked, so her point is moot.
    Regarding the Raider point: I kinda dislike the fact that the Raider has little to no chest protection save for a harness and some rings, so my Raider rocks that butcher's apron which isn't exactly great but it's better than nothing. My Raider is male btw.
    Something that really pisses me off: Why the hell that Tumblrette keeps comparing Hybrid classes, that have wild varieties in the amount of armor they come with, to Heavies which are usually way more armored as per their class design????
    "The problem with this is if you look at everything For Honor pitches at the world it promotes that the default hero in this game is a light skinned man in a world of light skinned men with a few light skinned women". So by this logic Appolyon is just one of the "few light skinned women"? You know, that badass warmonger that, after getting sneak-attacked by a Peacekeeper, she casually pulls out the PK's dagger out of her waist and then gives that PK a position in the Blackstone Legion? Hell that scene is even referenced in the Warmonger's default Signature.

    For Honor universe is set after a suppose global cataclysmic event. As far as we know, Heathmoor could be a super continent (like Pangea), which would explain the oil, or whatever the frick was that black liquid, earthquakes, lava pits, tsunamis and some areas being now dry, in one of the trailers of the game. The reason the Samurai (Empire of Dawn) are in the Myre, instead of Japan, is because THE ISLAND OF JAPAN, LITERALLY SINK.
    So, realistically and in game speaking, it make sense there are female/black warriors in the knight and samurai factions, because there isn't enough population to afford racism.
    Vikings comes from "the sea" aka, who the frick knows, so it's likely the brought slaves from other surviving areas of the world.
