are trying to strongarm 
a chinx 
company into adding more BIPOC 
characters AND they have a MELANIN SCALE 
I haven't read any of it, looks like WEEBSHIT to me. Its from this KIA thread
I just lol'd at the melanin scale.
So iGN decided to simp for the so called petition and write an article how it's all very "noble". What they failed to mention the so called petition and movement is run by the biggest r* out there. The movement ( https://x.com/HYVBoycott) is literally using a melanin measurement scale - yes you read that right;

Mind you as some users pointed out some of the characters are tanned Asians from the list they used as an example. This petition/movement is run by the biggest r* i've seen out there.
This is what they do: they try to insert themselves under the guise of "inclusivity"; it all started because someone's feedback was ignored and they were told to go play something else - based HoYo (https://x.com/Grummz/status/1812195892122055090) and I don't even play the game.
So now they have to escalate things with the help of urnalists. In the process they will most likely abuse individuals on official HoYo subs/forums and in-game. Which will get them banned (i mean ofc), so then they will try to play the victim card and accuse HoYo as bunch of 'ists - that's the play
These are the so called guidelines from the boycott group and they explicitly call for review bombing:

- a moment of self reflection;
"I am just waiting for some of their DEI allies in the gaming urnalism space to try and write a compassionate article about it - and I expect HoYo to blacklist said news outlet". - this was my comment before i actually found out that the outlet in question would be non other then iGN - Comment

The crazy thing is 99% of the "black" characters on that list aren't even black. They're just the same Japanese character with darker skin. Canary from Hunter x Hunter stands out, though.
Then again, Japanese characters in anime usually don't even look Japanese themselves.

For example, does this woman look "african american" to you? Do you think she was added to the game to add more "representation" to BIPOCs?
These people don't want "representation" or rather they are incredibly lazy slacktivists so they are placated by the simplest of progressive pandering, unaware this shit does absolutely nothing to assuage the racism in America.

Amerimutts are r-slurred and have the one-drop rule bullshit, hence why you get very pale white-looking people who are considered black just because.

I have both of them but don't use them. I'm still trying to pull for the other chocolate princess, Naga.

All anime characters are Black. It's just a very abstract style and we tend to automatically project our own racialized expectations and experiences onto the characters. But if you ask a Japanese person what race, for example, Sailor Moon is, he'll correctly say "Brack desu gozaimashita!"
