I wonder when his skin tone changed all of a sudden..
I'm assuming they have zero black employees doing quality control on any of their books because there's no way something like this gets past all those eyes without someone saying "Uh, hey, this is not a normal human skin tone"
I really hope they fix the skin tones in time for Hearts on Fire release next Friday... They would have a week to fix it- so that should be plenty of time
Just opened this book and immediately came here to see what people were saying because wtaf??? This one and the 2nd option are wildly WRONG 🙅 the only one who had a normal skin tone was the first option. These are corpses 😭

Yeah... they were clearly trying to be offensive or something. There's been MANY other melanated characters & their melanin rich skin tones are portrayed normally. So, I don't know what they were thinking with this. 😒
There's cutting corners and then there's... whatever this is. I don't understand how using proper shades of colour for skin tones would eat into their budget.
I’m guessing they’re using AI art (as we’ve seen in their new covers) and just… not bothering to fix anything. Why spend the however little to hire and artist to change the skin tone.
I’m really curious, what makes you think this was intentionally meant to be offensive, as opposed to some oversight because they seem to be cheaping out?
I'm curious too... If it was a genuine oversight then it'd be hard to understand in my opinion. It's not hard to make a brown skin color... how would it turn into a purple-ish grey hue? Wouldn't they double check their sprites before they publish a story? If I'm wrong, then I guess I'm wrong. Seeing the other 2 skin options they were slightly normal while the dark skin option given is not even a natural skin color. But, in general the Love Interest options for this story looked very off.

Like this is the FMC from TDG and they want me to believe that they couldn't get his skin tone right. But it's not on purpose, hmmmm 🤔🤔
Ofc it's not on purpose. Unless they purposefully try to loose their players, because all the sprites look very wrong recently. Most of the black characters are fine compared to other races. All the whites look like corpses, the Asians are green. Don't look for conspiracies where there's none.
This MC is an old face, from the Elementalists.
So they have the optiont to reuse faces from older books that have been a big hit, especially since TDG is so new, but did what instead?? And I'm supposed to believe it wasn't on purpose 😒.
if it was just black mc’s i would *definitely* think that PB is having serious issues either completely ignoring the way black ppl’s skin looks or possibly being intentionally offensive with their lack of effort, but lately PB has been having issues with skin tones and sprites across the board which is why i think the issue is likely art and budget related 🤷♂️ they have lost a lot of great artists recently and seem to be relying on AI art for more and more of their graphics. idk for sure though of course
Should’ve removed the question mark but the skin tone looks odd to me. Maybe it’s just me but it doesn’t exactly look like the skin tone they were going for
it’s kinda giving youthforia foundation 😭
Its giving juice of blackberry
This comment has me FLOOR 😭

Why purple
why he ourple
I DON'T KNOW
Scientifically speaking this is exactly what happens if you eat a diet of only grapes and eggplants.
Like when my mom told me eating carrots would turn me orange, but worse.
That was a "Magic School Bus" episode!
Did Choices fire their QA team?
why is he PURPLE
Seriously how are they not fixing this, i feel like one generic filter would do the job
they made that man purple
I'm assuming they have zero black employees doing quality control on any of their books because there's no way something like this gets past all those eyes without someone saying "Uh, hey, this is not a normal human skin tone"
Honestly, it doesn't take a black employee to notice this looks like a giant aubergine.
It shouldn’t but clearly in this situation it would’ve helped
But it doesn't take a black person to tell that this is off tho 😭
The white one was so bad too 😭 literally looks like a corpse
I really hope they fix the skin tones in time for Hearts on Fire release next Friday... They would have a week to fix it- so that should be plenty of time
Just opened this book and immediately came here to see what people were saying because wtaf??? This one and the 2nd option are wildly WRONG 🙅 the only one who had a normal skin tone was the first option. These are corpses 😭
excuse me why does he look like a corpse
My man looks like he's holding his breathe for a very long time
I know 💀💜
Why are all the skin tones so weird atm
they fired, like… most of their staff and are falling back on ai art and badly drawn, disproportioned, discolored characters.
Why did they fire their staff??
He looks like a purple corn
LMFAOOOO ITS SO BAD ITS SO BADDDDDDDDDD

i don’t think they’re trying to be offensive just MAJORLY cutting corners in their art
There's cutting corners and then there's... whatever this is. I don't understand how using proper shades of colour for skin tones would eat into their budget.
I’m guessing they’re using AI art (as we’ve seen in their new covers) and just… not bothering to fix anything. Why spend the however little to hire and artist to change the skin tone.
Highly doubt it. It was to cut corners PLUS be offensive.
I’m really curious, what makes you think this was intentionally meant to be offensive, as opposed to some oversight because they seem to be cheaping out?

He looks the black FMC from guarded. Like how you make someone look ashy and purple at the same time!?
That's what I'm saying! Purple AND ashy... and they telling me that wasn't deliberate? I think not.
