Baldur's Gate 3 Appropriates Sacred Indigenous Tattoos

I was so disappointed to boot up the character creation for Baldur's Gate 3's full release, only to see they added tattoo designs that are very clearly copying from sacred tattooing practices of the Inuit and the Māori.

^ This is clearly copying Tunniit.

^ This is clearly copying Tā moko.

Please do not use these tattoos. Larian should never have included these designs. I personally plan on modding them out of the game at the first opportunity.

End imperial exploitation. End neocolonialism. End settler colonialism and capitalism.

Canada has a nice public image because it hides behind it’s big brother US. But Canada is the home of some of the largest extractive industries in the world which violate indigenous people, lands and global south.

A good book to read would be “Blood of extraction: Canadian imperialism in Latin America” by Todd Gordon and Jeffrey Webber.
