Before splatoon 2, I always watched TV shows with white characters in it. Which isn't a problem, it just made me felt strange about my skin color as a kid, especially since I'm a Mexican American kid that saw ppl who also look like me. It wasn't until splatoon 2 released-
Did you know that during the development of Splatoon 2, the developers took inspiration from Mexico? 🇲🇽
In a 2018 interview, Splatoon 2 producer Hisashi Nogami revealed that the game's art and visual style were inspired by Mexican culture. (1/2)
- I remember seeing the promotional characters and I saw Surume. She had a pretty similar skintone as mine and I felt included in someway. Saying this as an adult is kinda cheesy, but it did help me felt seen as a kid back then. Seeing this tweet now reassures this comfort in me
