If we're counting Lucio, we may wish to add Reaper as he seems to be Afro-Latino
i honestly thought you were being cheeky because Orisa is a white robot, tbh
Symmetra works for an evil corporation that pretty much exploits her autism to keep her collaborating with them, regardless of how you'd classify her, this is pretty fucked up.( she's still an amazing architect that has achieved a lot and an example to a lot of people, that bit just sours my experience considering they barely touched the subject since she launched)
i see more people call Sombra Afro-Latino than Reaper, tbh
The representation is on the same level as Tekken 7. It ain't that special. Fighting games have been doing that for decades.
That's fair. Ethnicities are difficult. I think people are justified in either finding these characters representative of them or not
For myself, feet gross me the fuck out. I don't want to see them. It's one of the reasons I can't get into Street Fighter. Too many of the characters don't wear shoes.
I don't think he's talking about ratios, but rather about how the characters of different ethnicities are handled. It doesn't feel like they're handled with much thought or care. Not much more than how Tekken or Street Fighter handles them anyway.
The standard for diversity is to not have your cast be mostly white and male.
Mexicans and Indians can't be black? Ever heard of Afro Latinos? Some of you have such a binary view of diversity.
It's so fucking weird, it is such an obvious omission that you would have to almost go out of your way not to address it.
"Mexicans" aren't an ethnicity as far as I know, so sure on that point. But as an Indiana myself, I don't think Indians would generally be considered black. Dark skinned Indians generally consider themselves to be dark skinned Indians as far as I've encountered, and a lot of areas in India don't have a huge presence of sub-Saharan Africans.
Why is it a "quota" when fans ask for something? And why is the term only applied to representation?
No you quoted the right one, I misunderstood what you were trying to say, sorry. You're right, Sombra being Mexican and Symmetra being Indian doesn't mean they can't be black.
Your race isn't something you have a choice in so it doesn't matter you consider yourself. It's like when Dominicans say they aren't black when most people would not be able to tell the difference between a African American and a Dominican American. It's just low key racism.
You know you just compared races and genders to animals right? That is pretty fucked up cause you devalued and dehumanized people simply for what they are
Yep, I don't agree with the complaints about him at all and I've been on antidepressants since my teens and have friends that have been in and out of mental hospitals.
I honestly don't know what the hell you're talking about. Who is going around calling Indian people black? As far as racial colour terminology, "brown" is the one that tends to come up. Like, even old school racists didn't lump us together:
Ironically thats the impression I got from the OP and the post below.
And this also appears as if a black woman is on a higher stance and that it's "fucking weird" das Blizzard decided again to include a hero which doesn't fullfill that request but represents something different.
That is not how it comics off. It comes off like you are saying that robot and hamster are acceptable fill ins for representation. It's the "Maybe not perfect, but at least they are trying. How picky can you be about the portayal of a specific character " part.
With the OW-PVE edition stuff popping up, I would not be surprised if it's because characters like Sojourn and Echo (aka Echo of Liao) are coming alongside it who are specifically tied to Overwatch's in-game history. Ana's the only OG OW-aligned character who's actually been released post launch.
