Wyll’s romance IS boring but it has nothing to do with his skin color. Larian dropped the fucking ball with his character at all possible angles. he could’ve easily been an instant favorite without having to guilt people into liking him because they apparently could only add (1) black character, but they chose not to give him the same well rounded arc and romance as some of the other characters, and that’s infinitely more racist than just finding his romance storyline boring. don’t blame players for Larian’s fuck up.

#g talks #sometimes I peek into the bg3 fandom and instantly regret it #interacting with media without touching the fanbase is the way to go unfortunately #because the discourse around Wyll is so fucking predictably ignorant #and just ignores the actual problem #there’s obviously plenty of people who are just racist #but writing this complaint off as just racism from fans is fucking ridiculous #Larian fucked up bad #it’s not on players to pretend like they didn’t #the character isn’t real and won’t get their feelings hurt #you know who will?#black gamers and black dnd players who were looking forward to his character #just to have him mean next to nothing in the grand scheme of things #even early plans for karlach drew her as a black woman #and she wasn’t in the final version #I love karlach but it just lends more to the racism at Larian #this isn’t a simple ‘fans are complaining bc black’ issue #it never was #demand accountability from the devs or shut tf up #mine #/mobile #/okay to reblog
