Valkyrie feels discriminated against.

@wasabitenpuraIm honestly unsure if you are just trolling or smoking to much weird stuff...anyways I will take the bait for science 

Problem 1:it’s a god damn videogame for sake of god, it is just a single character, crypto is asian aswell and he has normal asian eyes.
Maybe I should complain about racism to ea cuz horizon has a weird accent?!?!? Or maybe I complain because I am very certain that not all Americans have breathingissues and are gas fetichists like caustic
I mean let’s be real I can find a flaw with every every character if I just dig deep enough
2.her hairstyle is wrong ? Says who ? You ? Maybe she just didn’t want to cut her hair in the back and have it like this... I’m pretty sure not all Americans wear their hair like caustic...
3. what exactly does that have to do with race ?
4.Sry but you want Japanese influence ? Meanwhile you complain about the existing ones beeing racist ?


Honestly man I’m not sure what exactly you try to pull the racist card on but that’s madness...they designed an asian character with a bit over the top eyes Maybe but who the f cares, I think I speak for most Europeans when I say we are not racist towards Japanese people at all, quite the opposite actually... meanwhile people from japan are well known to be racist towards Europeans, I got to taste that myself when I was in Tokio like 6 years ago...

I understand it's a game character.
But this is lumping Japanese people together with Asians, isn't it?
There are many different types of Asians, such as Japanese, Korean, Taiwanese, Chinese, etc., and they all have their own characteristics, both good and bad.
I feel it is discrimination not to distinguish them.

The story of Horizon is not relevant right now.
Horizon in Japanese is a very nice character. I have no problem with that.
I'm trying to use translation software to tell you that the character in my country is not attractive.
If the characters were more attractive and wonderful, I wouldn't try so hard to tell them.

@wasabitenpuraI agree that her mouth looked alittle weird when they first showed a glimpse of her face but other than that I don’t see an issue with her overall character I ended up watching the trailer like 6-8 times because I couldn’t get enough of it but I also wanted to see different content creator’s reactions

besides what we have seen was part of the trailer, her actual legend icon and character model in game may look slightly different and better suited for a Japanese style. I heard she was going to have some Japanese style legendary skins awhile back

Have you ever thought about characters not being stand-ins for a folk but as individuals? 

I doubt she is meant to be that, her name is based on norse mythology and that should have told you that.

A character having an uncommon haircut isn't racism. A German looking great with long and fabulous hair isn't common here, but thats because most people haven't seen me yet and it still wouldn't be racist if we'd get a german with great long hair.

Also her having no kimono is not a problem with the character, there is no lack of cowboy hats and absend father figure for Bangalore and no lack of sombreros for Octane (or maybe there is depending on your sense of humor) and that character almost embodies everything that Joe Biden and the MAGA boys think about latinos.

@wasabitenpura 

I've heard about these people who find everything to get offended about never thought I would meet one in person.

Lifeline's phrases are a hodgepodge of various Caribbean countries and her accent is even worse, its obvious to all of us over here that play the game that some random person who's never been to the Caribbean probably listened to two Bob Marley songs and decided they were the arbiter of all things Caribbean.  Why should it fall onto a video game company to provide you with the most authentic experience of a person of a certain ethnicity? This is not a documentary, it's a gosh darn video game man get over yourself.

On top of that don't you think they can literally adapt a character in any way they want? Do you think they have to copy the exact hairstyle straight from the history books? Also if you wanna go down that easily offended chain of thinking, who are you to discriminate against a woman, just because she does not fall into line with your ideals of a Japanese woman she is wrong in some way? That's pretty offensive if you ask me. What's next bro you gonna say her nose isn't small enough, not short enough, her eyes are too weird so she can't have had another Asian person's DNA in her family tree right what are you some kinda racial purist?

Thanks for your feedback, @wasabitenpura. Definitely feel free to let us know if you feel the same way after seeing the full character once she's out.

This thread is being locked as it was already veering into some rude and politically charged topics. Thanks to those of you who were able to have a respectful discussion on the matter.
