Considering canonical beauty is probably one of the main focus for the censors and that numerous example can already be made on the topic, I'd say discussing beauty, its canons and who is still producing beautiful art isn't exactly OP here.

That said, we all know ****** are bad. We know they are pushed everywhere. We know they push to censor things. Let's avoid making each thread about them.

Someone has made a list of problematic Dragon Age games mods if someone wants to mirror them here for archival purposes:

I dont know much about DAO but it looks like a lot of those character were already white or light skinned. Mostly seems like fangirls making their preferred companion into more of a pretty boy.

Looks like this is one such person who had their mod included on that list despite them being an SJW opposed to "whitewashing" https://msbarrows.tumblr.com/post/706641572291330048

Only thing these people accomplish is making everyone hate blacks more. Even normies begin to feel the ****** fatigue, though they would never admit it.

Never seen a black man with that nose and hair.

Not saying he was white. But he was definitely not black. Like you said, mediterranean, like an italian or lebanese.

I really don't care either way but I find it really funny that everyone that is not white its black in their eyes.

We wuz Grey Wardens and shiet.

It doesn't look like Biggie Smalls would call him a brother, no.

He looks like an equivalent of an IRL Iranian or so.
Depending on who you ask, these people are "white" but definitely Caucasoid.

No, Duncan wasn't black. SJWs like to lie about stuff like and a thing they do is they call any character who isn't explicitly white or asian to be "black".

Duncan is an Irish name.

DAO Duncan is probably inspired by Duncan the main character from Highlander. (not how the face ended up looking in the end obviously)

I forgot about Duncan Idaho. Maybe not...

His mother Tayana was from Rivain while his father Arryn was a Fereldan carpenter with Tevinter origins.
Rivaini are the black/brown people of Dragon Age, he's one of those mixed-breeds. They're one-drop-ruling him. Duncan, Isabela,Vivienne all have roots from the same country.

Bioware devs claimed the reason there weren't any truly black people prior to Inquisition was because the renderer just couldn't display dark skin tones without making them look like a weird orange splotchy mess (which seems accurate enough if you try that in the character creation slider). The switch to Frostbite allowed them to realize their ambitions.

just like how they lied about everything else that was retconned(see: qunari), they're lying.

David Gaider himself wrote a comic that had Isabella depicted like this on the front of it:

DAO was made just prior to the great libtard brainrot, all the coincidences that happened to be changed are mostly just lies.

Digging some more into it, it's exactly as I thought. All the ******** about him being a mulatto is from some books published after Inquisition released.

…And it turns out to be a retcon that contradicts the codex entry from the game itself.
https://dragonage.fandom.com/wiki/Codex_entry:_Duncan
His mother was from the Anderfels, his father from Tevinter, his childhood was spent in the Free Marches and Orlais.

from a mod on nexus that just replaces the skin texture file

Three posts addressing every part of those claims. Thoroughly, completely, irrefutably deboonked.

Gaider is a big, gay liar who says whatever he thinks will make people like him the most at the moment. Also backstabs his friends.

Yeah, Isabella is an Italian/Spaniard variation of Elizabeth. So, she is most likely an Iberian analogue. Not black.

Like I said, for the wokesters everything that is not white is black whenever it suits their needs.

Just like Cleopatra is now apparently black because Egypt is in Africa.

The moment europeans accepted the label “white” instead of correcting people to their nationality or religious identity they brought this upon themselves.
