"Understanding and demonstrating respect for the real-world histories and culture being referenced" okay then get rid of the racist lore for Blue Mage then and get our names out of your mouths

#BLU is so fucking racist it'd need an ENTIRE lore rework down to the source of the magic #no fucking way they'll do that #they've said this shit in the past then cover their ears and go ''lalalalalala'' when real-world cultures criticize them #I won't forget the ''Far Northern'' set and how the Saami were pretty much told their cultures are allowed to be sold freely #all they asked was for the racist outfits to be taken off the store and consult them for any cultural inspiration #the ''Far Eastern'' school sets literally aren't sold in Korea because of the Japanese occupation roots #Stormblood is am amalgamation of other Asian cultures and legends mishmashed into like 3 heavily Japanese ones #I'm talking the Chinese versions of the four lords legends among other things #they can't undo this damage and I'll be watching with popcorn as the easily disarmed get upset again in the future #you can have hope but for fuck's sake don't pat them on the back and accept breadcrumbs of stereotypes for representation #y'all are better than this and deserve more than this #I will proceed to ignore every single ''let people have fun and be excited'' comment because I'm not stopping you #just side-eyeing the ones willing to listen to shallow words and immediately be disarmed despite the history of them being unreliable
