Dakimakura 09/28/21 2:12:30 PM #10:	Are there black Mario characters I am unaware of? Maybe could have done Bowser with a black actor as he doesn't have a traditional human skin color, but then people would be complaining about the villain being a black actor. The true outrage here is maybe instead of constantly re-doing things from times when inclusion wasn't a priority instead make new things where inclusion is a priority. Turn your back on the things of the old and create something new that is great and loved by all that is inclusive to all races. --- https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/character/11900132/ https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/character/29307489/ <cite>Dakimakura posted [p:958499831] in John Legui...
