          Any significantly advanced science is indistinguishable from magic.

            If his science was sufficiently advanced it would’ve been able to produce an earth-shattering kaboom.

          Is a wizard someone that uses magic?

              So a wizard isn’t someone that uses magic? What is your definition of Wizard?

        I think he just has a small very dark coloured head. He’s not just eyes in shadow in a hood, he has a round head… it’s just black.

      They’re not wizards, but did Jawas from Star Wars establish the aesthetic?

        Seems like Jawas were the first in ~1977. The fandom wiki says that LucasArts sued Neil Young for having Jawa-like creatures on stage in 1978.

        Jawas didn’t wear the wizard hat. Same reason Marvin doesn’t fit.

    I’m not familiar with the meme template and didn’t see the wizards at first, so initially I thought it’s racist af.

    Now I fully agree though. FFT did it best imo.

        It’s ok, some people see racism in everything. It’s hard just being human if you have to constantly second guess everything just incase it might seem racist. It’s only racist if it was intentional.

          Meh, hard disagree. Outright intentional racism (and of other forms of hate) are terrible, but at least they’re openly visible.

          The more dangerous form is the everyday unintentional ingrained beliefs that people have even against their core values, like how I am more impressed by a female programmer or the way I at first misread that meme.

          It’s those that are more widespread and make it so much harder to eradicate the openly intentional hate.

        More generally, it’s a Black Mage from the Final Fantasy series, of which Vivi is one.

        I actually don’t believe the one in OP’s picture is Vivi, who normal has more adornments on his clothing . It looks more like an older version of the class, like this one from FFIV artwork.
