That’s obnoxious I think. I hope you weren’t joking and merely spoke in ignorance.
A black when you’re using colours isn’t racist and never will be. Black is not something anyone needs to avoid. It is like a Black Cat or Black Car.
Just use common sense. If it is not about a colour, then you will probably want to elaborate much more for clearer advice.

No, it was a joke.
Thanks man I’m quiet new in making games, i finaly got game type idea i wanted to make after trial and erros and just wanted to make sure to make something stupid that would offend people or i would get cenzured i just don’t want to get into drouble.
I’ve moved this out of the 2D forum as it isn’t related to it. It’s now in the General Discussion forum.
Please use the 2D forum for 2D related posts only.
Thanks.

Black.
Whoever sees wolf color as racist would be an idiot.

Dark Wolf sounds sinister, if that is what you are going for.
Sorry .
needs to exclude humans though. I feel ashamed that we were made to play “Who’s Afraid Of The Black Man” in elementary PE. That children game DOES have a strongly racist background and I’d suggest to avoid reminiscence of such things in a game nowadays.
That said, with animals you should be relatively on the safe side, but personally I’d still avoid it as there are more creative ways to incite fear (assuming that would be a bad guy) than dark colors.
Make the things you want because that’s what you like… Who cares about the habitually offended?

Mh, having something you put all your passion in, be hated - even if it’s by idiots - is not fun in every case…
…
I’m so happy to be born in area where white guilt is not a thing.
As a rule of the thumb, no matter what you do there will be at least one person who will love that, and at least one person who will hate your guts for that.
You can please everybody, and there’s no point in caring about “habitually offended”, like chingwa called t hem. As those people are neither your friends nor customers in the first place.

True, but if it’s easy to reduce the risk and number of those?.. xP
That would be a very wrong thing to do.
When you comply with the wishes of “habitually offended” your give them power over yourself.
You empower them, make them your boss and master and grant them authority to dictate your actions and butcher your project. And that’s what those people wanted in the first place - power.
Also, living of fear of making impossible to please people upset and fearfully listening to their every whim is not the kind of life I’d personally want to live.

Oh c’mon Mr. Rebellion…
It is not “rebellion”, it is common sense and a suggestion to put yourself first instead of trying to please people that will hate your guts anyway.

Yer quick to act compassionate yet you wished I were not on this planet [dead?] for simply having scientifically informed opinion about the flux of climate. Yet I live nowhere near you, cannot alter the form of your government, do not affect your pocketbook and will probably never meet you other than sa words on a forum where we share use of software. I would like you to reflect on these two disparate stances you hold simultaneously and ask yourself…am I correct in either of them. If finding incorrectness you oughta ask yourself…who put my brain up to such shenanigans and why…to what purpose. If you find correctness in both then carry on. One can certainly ignore reality but not the consequences of ignoring reality.

How good that this forum has an ignore feature. It’s useful against trolls 
sighs I’ll be blunt.
You contacting ippdev privately during that one disagreement was you being in the wrong.
Sure at the time you felt strongly about the disagreement, angry and offended.
However, when you feel strongly about something, feel anger or are “offended”, you are not really thinking rationally, because strong emotions suppress ability to reason.
And if that state of mind happens often when your beliefs are involved, that’s a good reason to stop and think hard about it.
Lots of harm has been done during history of mankind by people acting in the name of greater good. And that’s why they say the road to hell is paved with good intentions.
Sadly, these days many groups prefer to feel strongly and not think. And “habitually offended” are part of those.
