Whitewashing Gods.

Egyptian Gods should appear Egyptian. Egypt was in Africa, for God's sake, and Neith looks whiter than I do. I can understand certain Gods like Kali, Rama, etc not being dark skinned - it's in their lore that they're blue. ish. But it just completely irritates me that every God is designed to fit some sort of White box. New Wa, too. Ignoring her kit that no one likes at the moment and focusing on her redesign, she's lost what little bit of Chinese appearance she had. Representation is important and I'm frankly tired of seeing Gods white that clearly aren't in lore.

(Also, Nu Wa floats. Nothing to do with anything, but my Aphrotitties was the only floater. Besides Hel. But Aphro is my girl, and therefore special. Now she's not float-y special).

I don't understand the skin colour of most of the skins they make, pretty sure nemesis is grey in one of hers. I agree the gods should have the colour of their lore and if their lore doesn't describe it then they should have the colour of they originate from

why does this sound like every African country only has black people. FYI some of them have white people and Egypt is one of them. I also have multiple games see using Egypt as white people. just search for Rome total war or Medieval total war every Egyptian soldier is white (only the Nubian not). so don't assume because it's an African country the people there are black. for the black people you need to go down south more.

I do agree on the part that new wa doesn't look chinese.
