actually I think it's just because everyone basically has the same basic facial structure.

[hops]

Yeah but I mean that's kind of forgivable in SD.

[Skyrunner]

... I'm kinda lost, now. ?_?

I think what Cinder meant was that the pixel art for the portraits already makes virtually everyone look like generic white people. So it's understandable why the realistic portraits based on them carried that over.

Not sure though. In any case yeah, as much as it reminds me of some insular country towns in the US, it's weird that even the people with mixed ancestry look whitewashed. It's definitely not a limit of pixel art to stick with a single face shape, just a general Art Fluency thing.

The people in the town being 99% white is kind of art reflecting life for me. I grew up on a farm in a rural area of Canada, and I didn't know anybody who wasn't white on a first-name basis until I was in highschool, where there were three Asian girls, one Arabic boy and one black guy in my entire school. Rural areas in NA are about as white as it gets, at least in Canada.

Err, I was talking about the 'realistic' portrait versions, not the originals... It's more obvious when there's more detail.

[Solifuge]

*nod nod* Yeah, I get you! What I meant was that, since the pixel art character designs were pretty generically white, the realistic portraits based on the pixel art look that way too. It carried over from the original artwork, since the artist seemed to have been going for character design similarity.

The Starbound thread is enough. Can we not start that shit here please?

[ThtblovesDF]

Apparently realistic means all of them looking like generic white people.

Isn't this the oscar thing all over again? (I.e. only 11% of oscars go to black actors, but... black americans make up only 12.2% of the population) - So if you got your 10 familys, 1 being black is somewhat right.

[hops]

In Stardew Valley you don't get stoned to death for marrying someone of the same gender, so I kind of assume Ferngill is more civilized than the US.

[frostshotgg]

Civilized == evenly distributed races? That definition doesn't even come close to making sense. Are you saying none of Europe is even close to civilized?

[hops]

Just that they're less civilized compared to the Ferngill Republic.

[Culise]

I'm honestly not following, either, either what same-sex marriage has to do with the distribution or occurrence of ethnic groups, who is stoning whom in the US, or what have you.  The only thing I can even think of, as unlikely as it is, is an attempt to start a real-world political debate.  In that case, I apologize if it may seem slightly impolite, but may I please refer you and whatever fresh news story sparked this digression to the AmeriPol thread?  That may be the better place to discuss same-sex marriage politics and civilized versus uncivilized behaviour in the real world.
