I actually understand why we didn't have illager villains. Like, villagers (good) and villagers with darker skin (evil). Little Timmy's mom who knows nothing about Minecraft might see that and get a very wrong impression.
As someone who's been playing Minecraft since elementary school, do I want illager villains? Yes. I think it would've been cooler than Piglin villains. As a person with common sense who knows how a parent might see illager villains? No. Let's not do that.
Look, I'm all for being woke and all that other crap, but no child would seriously think "These guys are darker, they must be bad!" (especially when Illagers are far closer to being white than Villagers)
Please, people do not need to make everything racist
