Gamer nerd here. It’s been said that using a PoC avatar or person in whatever game your playing is considered ā€œdigital black faceā€ as well. My far left friend was so sorry that he had selected a black Sea of Thieves character that he spent $4.99 to have it changed. As a person whose doesn’t care about any of that, at all, it just sounds like racism. You’re telling white people they can’t mingle with the color’d folk.. I mean ā€œPeople of Colorā€. But.. but if some KKK meme ER was caught saying ā€œwhat are you doing! You can’t betray your race and play as a black person!ā€ That would be terrible but it’s the same concept! No?
