I'm glad people are working on actual afrofantasy rather than trying to churn out more bland eurofantasy with a thin veneer of progressivism.

Isn't Riot owned by Tencent?  If so this game is going to cater to what China wants and people are not going to like what China wants.

The devs said they're going to include "non-binary" alongside male and female during character creation. All three have different character models.

I don't think China would okay that.

Also, I have no clue what they mean by "non-binary" if it gets its own character model. Do they mean hermaphrodites with both a penis and a vagina?

That would be quite hilarious, but I'm pretty sure that just means a body type that isn't clearly identifyable as either male or female.
I.e. no big boobs or very broad shoulders, etc. of course depending on their art style.

Kind of like how City of Heroes had male, female, and 'xbawkshueg'? :D

Other words stick to Kevin Crawford's Spear of Dawn.
