Of course.
But it's also your right to change anything you want for whatever reason you want. Microsoft decided that they don't care about the color and prefer to not have some of their users thinking about their cultural biases when seeing the image. They're free to do so.
- rinchik 8y agoIt spells weakness. Weakness disguised as a tolerance of intolerance. "prefer to not have some of their users thinking about their cultural biases" -- extremely negative approach. I don't think you guessed it right. That's the same as saying "we are supporting you cultural biases, don't worry about improving. ever."
- seba_dos1 8y agoHow about changing the color of the main character in the game Chuchel[0] to avoid misinterpretations suggesting any blackface connotations? For European developers it was a surprise that some Americans were getting such associations - after all, it's just a black ball of dirt. After swapping the color palette, it pretty much received the same, if not worse, "anti-SJW" reactions like those we can see here. Was this also an "extremely negative approach", or is this one exempted due to being a western culture bias? :P [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chuchel https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chuchel
