  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DcplCC3qP3w&amp;t=102">1:42</a> i wanna touch on this point more because i feel like marvel rivals doesn&apos;t view disco and streetstyle a part of black culture because it&apos;s not that old and is something celebrated by a mainstream audience. think about it, when &nbsp;you hear culture you think about some tradition that existed 200 years old and is celebrated by people only in those communities. And whoever decides where these skins goes, doesn&apos;t treat disco and streetstyle as black cultures because they don&apos;t fit in their minds what a culture is hence my point here <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DcplCC3qP3w&amp;t=373">6:13</a><br><br>Edit: there’s 2 niggas in here thirsting over bast. Yall gotta be stopped

  Cloak getting awesome skins is definitely due to being tied to Dagger. Had they been separate characters from the get-go, Cloak will be left in the dust lol

  My thought in the beach commentary was “is this the angry/aggressive black woman trope”. Can’t use the sexy trope, but can the aggressive.

  STORM&apos;S DESIGN FROM THE DISCO DAZZLER VARIANT COMIC COVERS IS SO NICE WHY DIDN&apos;T SHE GET A SKIN

  Still no Wesley Snipes Blade skin I&apos;ve been waiting since seasons 3.5 meanwhile Ironman, Loki, and Bucky all get TWO movie skins and blade is left with FOUR recolors and maybe the worst legendary in the game.

  The normalization of blatant erasure and colonization of black culture nowadays is insane to me especially in the gaming community. Marvel rivals is just one example of the many games rn continuing to crap on black and POC characters and players.

  Someone said, &quot;we got Blade in chains for Black History month.&quot;<br><br>I can&apos;t remember who, I wish I could credit them.<br><br>Since they hit me with that I haven&apos;t spent a single dime on this game.

  They promised us an upgrade to the storm summer skin and its been mute since . No sketches or rough drafts or nothing showing what the 5star version of her summer skin would look like.

  The street style pissed me off so bad-walk with me now; netease doesn’t see the street style for its real origins, no no no- they see K-pop and jpop adopting it for choreography and use THAT as its roots. You can tell they thought they’d get away with it cause various performers in the Asian music industry use it-BUT ITS OURS! PAY HOMAGE IT AND RECOGNIZE THAT GIVING SKINS TO BLACK CHARACTERS IS IMPORTANT IF YOURE GONNA STEAL OUR CULTURE AND USE IT FOR SKINS

  @<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DcplCC3qP3w&amp;t=191">3:11</a> not to mention that Storm’s expression on the skin is an angry/ intimidating grimace, where as all the other swim suit skins feature their characters smiling, or at least looking neutral. <br><br>Storm is powerhouse, but she’s cool, collected, and rational. Ofc she can be fierce, but why is NetEase so determined to portray her as an angry woman of color?
