So the latest 'woke' issue in gaming is that in Hades II, Hermes looks Asian. I'm guessing it was a choice by the American studio to include more racial diversity in their latest game. The Greek Gods in the first game were designed more generically white.
I mean, an 'Asian deliveryman' as the Herald of the gods sounds totally racist when placed a different context too.
Sigh, all these kinds of decisions are beyond me. It kinda breaks the immersion a bit, but it's a fantasy game in an 'alternate Greek world', why can't people have fun race bending characters? It's not like being white was critical to the plot or gameplay. It's all just flavor text to the game.
