"German" isn't an ethnicity, it's a nationality. And didn't Zerstoiten start his career waay back in the '40s sometime, when the Germans were big bads?
OTOH, CO can be a little racist - if you never change the default skin tone. However, Hypernova, Liberty Belle, Encantador, and Gunrunner might dispute the charge...

Thats my point.
As this has to rank up there with Foxi's most dumbest of posts. With mah old pal Fox its either super smart posts or dumb as f***. This is one of those dumb moments.

Courage is doing what is right even when it isn't popular or safe. Honor is retaining the dignity and virtue in one's self, so it can light the way for others in the darkest of times. Compassion is showing patience and mercy towards others, even when it isn't returned or deserved. A hero is defined by these 3 words, they set him apart from others as a beacon of hope and excellence.
Just skimming through the AT defaults, when you dismiss the blue/mutant/horror/animal/robot people, every "human" is lily white.
And has a blue-and-yellow costume. Defaults are designed to be changed.

Well, this is the game for lazy and dated racism. C'mon, they've got Hi Pan - even Fu Manchu thinks he's a bit passe - but no Evil Brits. Time to update things. Throw a dart in Hackney and you'll someone who can do a passable Idris Elba, so get them in to do a gravelly voiced geezer villain for your next event. Diversity box ticked!!
I vote for deletion of the 'Default ' costume button. It should be replaced by the 'Random everything' costume button.
There would be no default sliders, only random, so you would have to go thru manually every slider to get what you want.

To be honest CO isnt and this was a Foxi joke thread posting funny cartoon he seen on internets which is kind of relevant as Res 5 remastered disc version has not long been out on PS4/Xbone.
What I find racist is this term "Lilly white". My mother was white and I find this term offensive Without getting #TRIGGERED. Champions Online has heroes and villains of every race color and creed and is one of the most diverse mmos out there. Also when will folks shut up about what shade of color a person is. A human is a human.
Foxi if your reading this I get what you were doing but think before you post.

What I find racist (or just plain silly) is the fact that people actually took my light-hearted post seriously. Come on, you can't say "lily white" when referring to race while keeping a straight face, can you? It sounds utterly ridiculous.

I once read a book called Farnham's Freehold, which has been described as “an anti-racism novel only a klansman could love.” The plot revolves around a cold-war-era white family being transported to the distant future, where they discover that black people are in charge. They then need to travel back to their own time to make sure this terrible fate never befalls the world. My racism-meter has been out of whack ever since.
You have to respect Foxi. Foxi is the super villain CO deserves.

From what I've seen, it hardly ever walks away. Rather, it always seems to want to have the last word on everything. Maybe it should start cosplaying as Lawrence O'Donnell instead of Sailor Moon.
(Hopefully) Useful CO Resources: HeroCreator (character planner), Cosmic Timers/Alert Checklist, Blood Moon Map, Anniversary Cat Map, and more (eventually, anyway).

You can try but don't blame me if you walk away thinking your bigfoot. Welcome to crazy town population UR FACE!

Okay, here's a question for you, and it's at least half-serious, because it's one of two ideas I've been toying with recently:
If I were to make an electricity-wielding speedster in a Flash-ripoff costume, except white and gold instead of red and gold, and called him "White Lightning", would that be seen as racist? How about if the character himself were black?
"Science teaches us to expect -- demand -- more than just eerie mysteries. What use is a puzzle that can't be solved? Patience is fine, but I'm not going to stop asking the universe to make sense!"
I have always found using the color white and black racist to describe someone. So if a hero is called Black ______ then I hope he has something black on and his skin isn't an excuse.
Unless he is like black, like the color...then who am I judge?
But then again... if I was a Smurf SuperHero, being called Super Blue wouldn't feel racist.
I think we need to discuss this with the Smurf village and clear this up.
Well, DC has Black Canary as a major superhero. There's also been a White Canary and Jade Canary. The names don't have much to do with the color of their skin though....
At least White Lightning is better than the other idea I had, which was to have a speedster wearing as little as the game allows and calling him the Flesh. ("My name is Barenaked Allen, and I am the fastest streaker alive!")
"Science teaches us to expect -- demand -- more than just eerie mysteries. What use is a puzzle that can't be solved? Patience is fine, but I'm not going to stop asking the universe to make sense!"
Which was actually the code name for two official Champions heroes. The first during the Forties and Fifties, the second in the Sixties and Seventies. But that was before "streaking" became part of the popular lexicon.
Similar to this, I once had a character who wore nothing but blue tape named the Blue Streaker. At least, I think that's what I called her. It was definitely some attempt to play on “streaking” and “cursing a blue streak.” That character was in DC Universe Online though, not this game.

No, Blue Streaker had an outfit that showed off a lot more skin. That picture is… her name had something to do with death. Petite Mort? No, that wasn't it. But it should have been.

OTOH if a character using that name was black, somebody would certainly accuse him of something. The juxtaposition is just too obvious.
