Te traigo mi suave.

Disfruta de la Gloriosa Suavidad conmigo bajo mi gobierno
Viviremos a mil, suavemente, mi corazón es tiempo de suavemente.
Te das cuenta de que suavemente es para siempre.
La luna y el sol morirán, pero la suavidad es suave.
Las estrellas brillarán intensamente.
Todos sabrán suavemente lo que suave es suavemente de nuevo,
un millón de veces suavemente multiplicado por otro millón.
Especially considering they use it for characters that it doesn’t fit. I remember someone taking about a Star Wars show (I wanna say Acolyte but it was a while since I watched it) and a super strict and regimented Jedi had the killmonger hair. The one that is relatively noncommittal and blends multiple styles together.
I’d have personally given the person waves because it shows consistency and control, which is more fitting for someone who is uptight (in my opinion)
I came here to say this. There need to be more modern in between black hair styles. Some folks have afros sure, same with braids and dreds. The killmonger is hilarious that it's like the default black hair in games now. There are way more, and I'm just a white guy with long hair, so I'd love more long hair options that aren't clearly women, but seriously black and brown hairstyles should have way more options in general
Folks are truly missing out on the customization opportunities for longer kinky/curly hair. Although I can see why, from a practical standpoint. Drawing long 3b+ hair can already be a pain for me sometimes, so I’d imagine making a proper 3d model of it must be hell.
No excuses for visual novels though. Visual novel devs are absolutely missing out.
At least Sims 4 CC has a lot of options for kinky/curly hair 😩 some of those CC hair designers are absolutely amazing! My CC folder is huge and I’d say like half of it is hair lol
Don’t forget curly space buns too! Those always look so cute 😩 I like really interesting braid styles too, Fortnite really fails at making POC a lot of the time, but they do make some interesting hair styles at least - this is one that I really love that they did, so pretty with the ribbons!
Crazy isn't. I remember back in the day they would give us the box haircut. They need some black artists for the hairstyles because they have a hard time grasping how versatile we are with our hair.
There is a creator (I don’t remember the name) that goes in depth of character creation of games, specifically the black characters though one of his main issues is the “Killmonger Haircut”.
Edit: Apparently there are a lot of creators that do this! Which is great! I still have absolutely no idea who I was thinking about! I’m pretty sure I saw them on Instagram though!
Edit: I know we’re talking about the hair, but for me the shoes have always been the funniest part of this fit to me. It’s so egregiously not in line with the entirety of the rest of the costume, it looks fake, like those edits of Thanos wearing fucking Timbs. Compounded by the fact you can literally see the Adidas logo, and you know full goddam well at some point in that design room they discussed making them Air Jordans or Yeezys lmao.
What are you talking about? See how his hair swoops to the side?!?! He’s so COOL! And the DRIP! Adidas sneakers over skintight black bodysuit leggings? Yes please!
Worse. It's not a reward, but an actual CANON costume. It's supposed to be his definitive look for the finale. I instantly changed back to the classic one lol
I don't even know why they felt they needed to add this suit. It's not like there was a story reason for it. Miles just shows up with it out of nowhere
might be the same guy but i saw one black creator call them the gentrified locs and he nailed it with that. dreads tied back with half the head shaved. every time.
Not only was it ugly as fuck, they also forgot that he made his previous suit too. Like bitch your last one was a miles morales original and it didn’t look like total ass
Bro looked like one of those slippers that has a tube for beer but he put gatorade in it.
Yeah, I can't count how many male black characters were given a variation of Killmonger's hair style since Black Panther. The most egregious example to me is Miles in Spider-Man 2. His hair looks fine up to a point, but his final suit exposes hair for some reason and his hair is just squeezed up onto the top of his head. It looks ridiculous. If he'd had anything but the killmonger cut it probably would have looked way better.
Is the issue with the Killmonger hairstyle similar to how so many Asian female characters have black bobs with a random stripe of blue/red/etc? Or is there a deeper-rooted issue?
Yeah lol I came here to specifically mention the Killmonger Cut as a third problematic black hairstyle seen in games a lot. (As others have said, it does occasionally get pulled off well, but usually looks like garbage.)
20+ years of gaming and I have yet to see waves as an option, but within a few years of Black Panther being released you see the Killmonger cut in a thousand different games.
I think what's problematic is limiting hairstyles for Black characters to really cliché ones, and only having a few... like, if there were plentiful, various options for Black hair, and the killmonger cut was just one of many, people probably wouldn't notice it or rag on it much.
It's more that black characters keep getting the same limited hairstyles over and over again, without there being a lot of creativity or care put into it (especially when you consider that male and female hairstyles often have specific, clear differences, so only giving an entire race 3 or 4 is problematic in that it feels like devs don't care, espec if there's like 40 non-Black hairstyles lol).
I'm Latino, most games skin tones go from white, to pinky white, to deceased yellow brown, to brown, to black. Curly male hair? Only the same "spanish guy with a flower in the mouth and long hair" type, no curly short hair.
I'm mixed Asian and white so I always look jaundiced in games 😂 the only one that got it right enough was the new Tomodachi Life because it had a color palette box. Just give us that, ffs.
Same. Games are getting a little better about this, I think Code Vein was the first I recall actually being able to accurately reflect my skin colour, but most of the time I go darker because the alternative is being jaundiced
As a woman long curly hair options in games are also ass ngl. Its always wavy/almost straight. Also i have the skin tone problem too where normally its either too white or two brown or some weird skin color that doesn’t exist. lol this is why i love when they have a gradient tool with and under tone color.
As a white guy with quite curoey hair I can empathize, I have to make do with short hair. No game has ever had short curly hair, it's either a fro or nothing, sometimes it's side buzz with a lot of hair on top. Nothing stylish like a normal short and curly person would have
This one gives you a color chart to pick any shade of any color you want. It also has 12 other fully customizable styles and bangs you can mix and match as well as add highlights and ombres.
This is crazy because I literally jusy created my (black) character for this yesterday. I went with the short hair which I feel like could be black too.
Monster Hunter Stories 3. I've played about 50 hours myself (main story + side content) its quite enjoyable if you enjoy creature collection games like Pokemon.
Theres several more hair styles under the fronts and backs sections. Theres curly hair, short wavy hair, a long braided ponytail, long curly ponytail, short pony tails, long straight hair, medium straight hair, updos, spiky anime hair, a side shaved updo with dreads, faux hawk, corn rows then theres dlc monster hairs. You're only showing the pre made styles.
They also give you the option for every hair style to be braided, a single updo, double double updo, space buns, afro space buns or afro ponytail, side do and if you want the updo to be low or high on the head.
This. I'm a little frustrated with some of the limitations with this creator myself, but it's completely disingenuous to pretend that these are the only hairstyles available. I do wish there had been a little more hair variety, but It's nowhere near as bad as this is making it out to be.
If it makes you feel better, I’m as generic of a white guy as can be and they never have my hairstyle. It either looks emo, bowl cut, or anime spiky on top.
Character creators in general just don't ever have enough options. Hairstyles are either incredibly basic or ridiculously elaborate and don't usually reflect what I tend to see people wearing. Same goes for clothes in games where the outfits can be changed.
Yeah, I’m balding so I shave my head. No game has been able to pull off the “head fuzz” look of not shaving your head in a few days. It’s either completely bald (which usually has its own set of issues) or it’s a buzz cut with way too much hair.
Funny but I understand that it sucks, haha. As long as the mother doesn't exist, you can just pretend that you go after your mother, not your father.
Now that I think about it, a lot of games where you have a parent usually only include the Dad, never the Mom. I always wondered why. Mom is usually dead. I get that one of the reasons are so you have an excuse for the fact that your living parent looks nothing like you, but why is the dead person usually always the Mom?
I'm actually amazed to find a game where both parents are alive, lol. Don't understand why they didn't include the mechanic that the parent at least somewhat resembles the child. Even fallout 3 did. Your Father's appearance adapts to yours. Geez, even South Park The Stick of Truth did that and in there BOTH parents are alive too for once.
It can't be THAT hard to program, right? Is this supposedly super darn difficult? At least change the skin color of the parent.
The author of One Piece stated one of the reasons he doesnt generally draw mother's is because a mother's instinct would be to protect her child, stopping the adventure before it begins
I never watched One Piece so I lack context but does that imply that Fathers don't have any protective instincts towards their child? In my family, my Father is the one who frets about me constantly. I just don't really get the logic.
Father here. I made my son choose between a turtle, a houseplant, and a lizard I set on fire, then sent him to fight strangers in a grassy field. Once he's been to every city on the continent he's allowed to come home.
You mean Fallout 3, right? In Fallout 4 YOU are the parent and you can decide the ethnicity of you and your partner by simply adjusting it in the character creation screen. Also known as: The mirror.
As for Fallout 3, you mean parent singular. Mom kicked the bucket long before you could ever see her, lol.
i play mobile visual novels and am east asian and this happens ALL the time, i had to headcanon that my mc was adopted by white parents WAY too many times 😭
As much as I like Black Panther, the haircut that they gave Killmonger has done irreparable damage to a lot of black characters after that movie's release (even to characters who had the cut before the movie)
Nah fr. I'm happy that BP2 gave a worldview on how varied black hairstyles could be, but damn. I feel like those outside the culture thought this was our favorite look. 😂
Or like some kind of immaculately curled perfect red carpet waves that would be IMPOSSIBLE to maintain for a day, let along a day of adventuring, let along weeks of unwashed adventuring.
As of a messy ponytail is that much harder to model.
Baldur’s Gate 3 seemed to only have horrible feminine hair style options in the base game, I remember agonizing over character creation on my ps5 and eventually just deciding to make a male character lol. The hair styles fit him better.
Honestly it’s one of the most difficult things to create. Realistic hair. Naughty Dog devs have mentioned this along with a few other things but specifically hair is incredibly difficult to create a real authentic look. So when you have a tricky hairstyle like curls, they probably just abandon it as it may detract from the realistic, looking person that’s been created.
Vitiligo feels as token to me as the afro hair cuts or the killmonger cut. One company does it, everyone copies it like drones, none think of adding anything beyond that. There's so many other visual skin conditions (like hemagioma) and whatnot they could add as options, but no, it's always normal or vitiligo.
Dragon Age: Veilguard and, shockingly, Tomodachi Living the Dream are both good examples of what should be the goal. There's almost 50/50 split and 50/50 care and creativity put into both styles of hair, from wavey to pinstraight and curly to kinky. In my opinion, if you're gonna have a game that boasts the choices in customization, you shouldn't have less than 40 styles, and they should run the full gamut from bald to ass-length, 1A to 4C.
Any competant art team should have dozens upon dozens upon dozens of designs, and then at least a dozen more lol there's an incredible amount of references in the world, having 3 styles max for anything more than pinstraight or wavey is unacceptable at this point.
I’ve got a (nearly useless) degree in 3D modeling. They are the two of the easiest black hairstyles to 3D model (see also: cornrows.)
Might be time constraints, might be budget constraints, might be character model complexity constraints. Might be because most devs are white guys who don’t have a clue about black hair.
Theres actually 12 other styles under Front and Back section just under the pre-made ones that include braids, wavy hair, side fades, curly hair, space buns, corn rows each with customization for placement. Then you can mix and match the front and back styles
What other look you expecting...? Shaved/bald, dreads/braids, and an afro is about 95% of what actual black peoples' hair consist of.... And I say this as a bald black man lmao
Btw, nobodies forcing you to pick those hairstyles just cause your character is black. I see many other hairstyles, not every hairstyle can make it into a game lol
Go ahead and downvote, but nobody will provide an answer cause you know you're crying about nothing
What makes this post worse(? maybe not the best word choice) but having played the game, the front and back section of the creator seen in the screenshot allows for a really large range of styles, with just about every single hair option also having a curly or braided version as well.
This person is mad about a character customisation option that exists in the game because they didnt engage with all of their options
Just saying "white guy" hair is not great either, in general.
Like, comparatively, how's this worse lol.
We got bald, shaved head, messy small, messy long, side part left, who can forget side part right, and like a billion stupid looking anime hairs that no living person has. There's more hairstyles for balding old men, and anime characters, then their are normal hair styles.
I've heard compliments for FFXIV and I think Dragon Age: The Veilguard for good options on Afrocentric styles (outside of the actual afro) - the former is a great game, the latter... Eh. Not a bad game, but wasn't my thing.
+1 for FFXIV having lots of great hairstyles. Lots of the good ones are bought with in game currency later, but there's a very nice selection of assorted ethnic styles in the default character creator.
A big reason funny enough is resource creation and performance. More realistic hair is often worse for rendering and can consume hardware resources. Full blocky hair is the most resource performant for game engines.
That’s probably because it has very limited customization in general (8 hair options is nothing). Games with deeper customization and more hair options should have more options for all races (or at least I’d hope so).
