While explaining how the character came to be won't change or excuse any of the problems you pointed out, we would still like to say that most of the traits you mentioned were based on Bara tropes we wanted to subvert by also making Ode kindhearted and not overly masculine outside of physical traits.
That this overlaps with him being black and in that way plays into harmful stereotypes was an oversight on our part that we unfortunately can't retroactively change and we are sorry about any discomfort this has caused.
His temper and ignorance appear more extreme when he is confronted by Hans and were never meant to be defining aspects of his character. Given how prominent they are in his introduction we definitely see now that there is a problem with his portrayal and we will do what we can to fix this.
We are in the process of rewriting parts of the first two Acts that unnecessarily reinforced these stereotypes and will do all we can to stay aware and avoid these kinds of problematic portrayals in future Acts and projects.
Thank you for the feedback.
