Can we please get a fix/visual update to hairstyles on black characters?
Today in the Reddit AMA, the devs said inclusion and diversity is 'always on the top of their mind' and focus on 'making sure the representation is as accurate as possible,' which is great, of course. But there are still hairstyles in the game that don't live up to these expectations, and many players, especially black fans who have been vocal about this, would love to see an update to the hairstyles that fall short of expectations and don't do a very good job of representing hairstyles for black people.
For some reason, a lot of Claudette's looser curls on certain hairstyles (like these) are stringy and floating?
I don't even know what's going on with the textures on her afro hairstyles above, but they don't even look like hair, especially on the recolor on the right.
This one doesn't even make any sense. Why does she have two mini afros on top of one short afro? They're supposed to be afro puffs, but then why isn't her hair parted and pulled back at the roots to reflect this?
What is even going on with this hairstyle? I don't even know what this hairstyle is supposed to be? I remember there being discussions on Twitter that it might be intended to be a pineapple puff but it didn't translate well to live if that's the case.
The curls are floating and stringy again, she has no edges, and she is bald where the braids are. It just looks bad tbh.
This is honestly probably the most egregious case of a black person's hairstyle executed poorly. It's such a shame the hair looks so bad because the dress is gorgeous. But where are her edges??? I refuse to believe anyone would go out with their hairline looking that bad. And there are bald spots underneath the braids for some reason, it looks so bad.
No edges, again. The textures look bad, again. It doesn't translate very well to live at all. This entire outfit is pretty poorly done. The textures everywhere look awful, the belt placement is very unflattering and makes the entire outfit look ill-fitting. There's black under the dress where the slit is for some reason. The concept art was stunning, but it was not executed well tbh.
Underneath Adam's beanie, it looks like he has straight hair for some reason??? Why when his default establishes he has kinky hair naturally? And there's no texture for his hair underneath the hat to his Toy Collector skin?
