Why is the GCH piece 'Dark Human Head'...purple? That's borderline-offensive D:

Oh, right! I just got that with the Humble Bundle, but haven't tried it out yet. ^^;;

...Yeah, that seems uncool. It's hard enough to find good sprites of non-white people. Offering up ones that are purple is both unhelpful and possibly insulting.

EDIT: I could have figured out what GCH is if I had just looked at your previous status :P Silly me!

No worries.

As it happens I've just discovered something embarrassing: The said purple-skinned body is named 'Dark Human' - NOT dark-skinned human. Presumably it's meant for evil, otherworldly characters. My bad! ;_;

There exists a 'Black Human' piece which is appropriately dark-skinned, and I could make it look a bit more South Asian or Middle-Eastern if I wanted to.

Ah! ^^;; Well, that's cool, then.

I'll have to play around with GCH soon, because this all sounds neat.

I think it's because dark elves all like purple a lot (they tend to have like purple hair or purple skin or just purple weaponry or clothing).
