Gamers, why are developers giving every Black character the Killmonger haircut?

I admit, it's over exposed now. Just like back when EVERY female character had half her head shaved and pulled over to the side. (a la Gwen from Spiderverse) And celebrity women were doing it in real life too. Miley, Rosario and Pressly come to mind for that.

It's lazy really because for YEARS people have been calling out game devs and artists for not showing the myriad of black hairstyles over the years and now they've all pounced on this one and said "here damn!"

rihanna popularized that style and everyone copied her both in real life and in fictional media

it's nowhere near as inorganic as this, imo
