How are games allowed to do this.
How can creators just make shallow meaningless characters and start slapping labels on them.
>Let's make this one lesbian
>Let's make this one autistic
>We have highly advanced robots made by small black children
They make all their characters "diverse" but the characters have no depth aside from their label.
>What if we make the Mexican girl really good at technology

ignore this game. it and its community are just sjw trash. the game itself is just babby's first fps so don't even bother trying it
Blizzard has been pandering to the lcd for a long fucking time now. You are just now realizing this? All you had to do was look at their generic as shit art style to figure it out.
just because people different than you are represented in games doesn't mean there's a war out on straight men you tin foil hat wearing fuck
My cock wants to make her autism speak.

Because they made the game.
I think Majority is the Keyword
this is proof that Sup Forums has been compromised. to all of you lurkers and such out there, it is indeed true.
if slapping labels on a few characters is all it takes to keep you shitheels out of the game, then i'm all for it
Don't feed it a (You), idiot
This was done for years. Everyone just forgave it because consoles like the SNES and PS1 simply didn't allow for that much character development. Now that it's being done on platforms that have the capability to do better, wise anons like you are calling it for the shit it is. In time, everyone will see it your way. In the meantime, go play some Baldur's Gate when you need your characterization fix.

As an autismo this is nothing but panderous boxticking
OH FINALLY I CAN PLAY AS A SPERG
Oi fuck off mate, you try living in a country where 80% of it is uninhabitable
Because now Overwatch has become the game normalfags play so they can say "omgee im sucha nerd!", and all normalfags are a bunch of libcucks who want diversity (AKA women, faggots, dykes, retards and all types of shitskins) in their games because they think everyone is a special snowflake that can be "anything their heart desires" even though it never works like that.
This
also it was confirmed a whole fucking year ago
Anyone only taking notice now are sensationalist retards that need to be shot and ditched for being such utter faggots
>began as
>are
ftfy
By the time this game reaches the end of its lifespan, Blizzard will probably have some label slapped on every character.
>people who play online objective-based fps for character depth and personalities
You faggots are as bad as people who ask for story modes in fighting games. Who the fuck cares if she's a sperg? Who cares if the female Scout eats muff? Who really gives a shit about any of this except people who should be posting on Overwatch's fucking subreddit? Is that the kind of people you all are?
I don't think anyone asked them to do this by taking over existing studios.
sounds like you have a lot of emotional attachment to the complexities of autism, user.
>How can creators just make shallow meaningless characters and start slapping labels on them.
They didn't just slap a label on symmetra. Posters on Sup Forums speculated she was autistic from her comic
Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't autists borderline retards who blankly stare at nothing all day and can't do jackshit without someone else's help? How is that woman, if she's an autist, capable of even surviving in the battlefield?
>How can creators just make shallow meaningless characters and start slapping labels on them.
That's basically the first step to creating a good character, and in a game where personality is relegated to one-liner voice clips you don't really have much time to go past the first step. TF2 did basically the same thing (even though it was more charming in my opinion)
>Medic: Crazy German scientist
>Scout: From Boston, likes to talk shit
>Heavy: Russian, loves his gun, amused by babby men
>Pyro: Insane
And so on. The only thing blizzard is doing additionally is slapping on some traits that don't appear much in game to get buzz from the progressive types. Tracer is gay, Symmetra is autismo, whatever, it literally doesn't affect their personalities as presented in the game, which is probably a fault of it's own, but oh well.
Don't like it don't buy it.
If they are still alive even after becoming SJW then it's proof that people don't give a shit, and idiots claiming everyone is as outraged by this SJW shit as they are are liars who think they speak for others.
Blizzard has been shit for 10+ years anyway.
That's why there is a spectrum. You can be nearly retarded yelling at the sky and smashing your face in or just socially awkward. All are autists.
>the characters have no depth aside from their label
that's exactly it, they're not worth getting invested in because they're not really characters at all, just a bunch of cliche personalities.
So they may as well slap as many labels on em' as they can and call it a day because none of it matters
Have any of you guys read any of the comics?
They're seriously bad
more than bad, they're just boring. Just nothing comics. They all feel like basic pre-written stories, but with overwatch characters. I don't think any of the heros are relatable in the slightest because they're all just 1 dimensional templates.
feels good to just give zero shits about the lore and plot of this game. And It's just gonna remain stagnant anyway, so its a bunch of wasted reading.
Haven't you ever heard of autism being referred to as a spectrum? Or the term "high-functioning" autism? There's a wide range of how badly it affects a person's capability to function.
>all normalfags are a bunch of libcucks who want...
Come on, normalfags only want what they are told to want. Don't ascribe agency to them like that.
>Sup Forumsirgins tell SJWs to make their own games instead of demanding traditionally designed games cater to them
>Sup Forumsirgins then demand games with liberal influences be changed to cater to them rather than create their own redpill paradise games
Please, dont give this faux-lore anymore thought. All that matters in this game is "escort the payload!".
>redpill paradise games
Are there any? I guess Postal 2 sorta-maybe counts.
I don't care about this SJW stuff or shit like that, but OP just got to the point.
>lel this one is autistic just because we said so!
Who gives even half a fuck you literal autist? Why does it matter at all? Doesn't change the game.
>A game about enforcers for the world government
>Who are good guys
>Progressive
Who would have thought?
if that were true Sup Forums would be immensely more pleasant to read
But Sym being autistic makes sense.
>Medic: Crazy German scientist
I've been wondering if he's based on en.wikipedia.org
HEROES NEVER CUCk!
Fucking retard
It matters to OP because he has autism
>How do you do, fellow neurotypicals?
The only reason anyone bought this game is because they're thirsty virgins anyway.
>caring about trivial shit
>"GAMES ARE PLENTY DIVERSE QUIT CRITICIZING THEM FOR NOT BEING DIVERSE ENOUGH"
>"WHAT THE FUCK WHY ARE THERE NON-STRAIGHT NON-MALE NON-WHITE CHARACTERS IN THE GAME? DELETE THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Is you guys' idea of diverse just "several different flavors of space marine?" Would that indicate that most people who cry about this kind of thing are Xbots?
because they already got our money, so they cucked us
never again blizzard, never again
>oh, a video game board? i guess i'll post about video games, instead of the jewish illuminati, internet celebrities, or BRAAAAAAAAAAP!
Honestly, 90s American cartoons did the diversity thing better.
No because my race isn't stupid enough to try and live in a place that shitty.
Those aren't caused by autism.
>Sup Forums is overwhelmingly autistic
>game features an autistic character who is portrayed in a positive and powerful light
>"WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS SJW SHIT"
guys...
>video game characters that have autism
>Is you guys' idea of diverse just "several different flavors of space marine?" Would that indicate that most people who cry about this kind of thing are Xbots?
That isn't what he said at all though. He said
">Let's make this one lesbian
>Let's make this one autistic
>We have highly advanced robots made by small black children
They make all their characters "diverse" but the characters have no depth aside from their label."
He isn't complaining about diversity. He is complaining about the lack of character depth. Which is a stupid complaint because expecting deep characters in a multiplayer oriented FPS is foolish since the primary focus is gameplay, but you don't need to strawman him to call him a retard.
If you're baiting congratulations. You caught me.
except for the part where this game released and didnt have anything but all its ridiculously awesome racial stereotypes and oversexualized female characters for like 2 years THEN suddenly decided to say tracer is gay and this other shit, after establishing its popularity and success and after obtaining our shekels
Because it's an online arena FPS with no story.
There isn't much they can do with their characters other than slap labels on them to give them some ounce of personality and backstory.
Never mind all this political bullshit. Let's consider the real important question here: is she hot?
I wish that there was a single-player campaign. Like, you could pick any of the heroes and fight against Omnics or whatever the fuck the "villain" in Overwatch is. I dunno. I just the think the whole thing seems like it could be super interesting and fun and it's sad that it's just a shallow multiplayer experience.
Sup Forums is tsundere for SJWs. They say they hate it, but secretly the love the idea of a strong dark skinned girl fucking them in the ass while wearing period-appropriate mail armor.
The characters have plenty of depth for a multiplayer FPS, and Sup Forums only gets mad about "muh SJW labels" when it interferes with their waifu headcanons, like that fag who said when he saw Tracer was les he "literally felt like he was shot"
/thread
...
nothing in the game makes mention of this and nobody cares that the characters have these traits, its literal virtue signaling through external media nobody gives a shit about but gaming press needs something to write about.
fuck's sake this was from a letter they wrote to a fan.
You really cant make up the fact that Tumblr celebrates autism and many users boast it in their bio
And yet they hate "us".
>The characters have plenty of depth for a multiplayer FPS
I agree with you on that. The labels are shallow and don't add anything other than opportunities to shitpost
>and Sup Forums only gets mad about "muh SJW labels" when it interferes with their waifu headcanons, like that fag who said when he saw Tracer was les he "literally felt like he was shot"
Why does this matter? They're idiots then.
She's been confirmed an autismo for ages since her autistic comic came out.
Not only that, but she acts exactly like an autist, bitch can't into human emotions and just sits there all day with her stupid machinations, obsessed with them.
Why are you retards suddenly surprised about it?
In a comic outside of the game entirely. I don't think her girlfriend has even been mentioned in the gameplay at all.
Do I have to remind you that nationalists don't exactly have a good track record?
No one has a good track record
...
Are you trying to set up some sort of a nationalism vs. world government false dilemma?
I don't think it's that anyone is expecting deep characters from a multiplayer FPS made by a company who, even with decades of lore behind their franchises, still doesn't make deep characters.
Rather it's that people shit themselves about how it's some big deal that this particular character is autistic or gay or whatever other label, but instead of them having those labels because a meaningful story weaves it in, they have those labels because someone at Blizzard just said "oh yeah, also she's autistic."
It's ridiculous for people to hold that up as some sort of important new step in gaming diversity. A new Final Fantasy where the main protagonist is gay is a major step - this is just pandering to a kneejerk demographic.
What, pray tell, would meet your standard of "character depth" in an online FPS with literally no story thus far?
Right now, the characters are aesthetic vehicles for their playbuild kits. Blizzard has been pretty transparent about that and the fact that they're content with taking their sweet time developing an actual plot to give context to the characters.
Don't pretend you're just craving to see Symmetra go on some hero's journey. You just get triggered by seeing minorities depicted as heroes and stake an arbitrary goalpost to justify shitting all over the character. Your issue isn't that it's a character whose identity is reduced to a minority, it's that the character is a minority in the first place.
>What if we make the COLOMBIAN girl a criminal
>But fuck the Australian white male, just make him a criminal
Really gets the cogs whirring
We're weaponised autism. They're anti-conflict of course they hate us.
>Do I have to remind you that nationalists don't exactly have a good track record?
Teddy Roosevelt. JFK. Most leaders of any form in Europe between the 1400s and 1950s. I'd argue many of the revolutionaries in Latin America, from Che to Pinochet, were nationalists who wanted less American interference (Whether they are good or not is harder to say). So you're saying that you've looked a significant amount of all of them and judged their accomplishments fairly and said "Yep. Nationalists have a bad track record".
>thinking normalfags are libtards
Every new agenda pushing, white guilt, trans praising, marxist rhetoric, tumblr tier youtube vid that gets shit out by whatever progressive media outlet gets massively downvoted. Don't let the loudest faggots fool you, they are certainly in the minority (for now anyway).
You don't seem to understand how conversation works.
I don't think they are anti-conflict, really. They don't mind conflict as long as it is in the form of many of them piling up on an acceptable target.
>You just get triggered by seeing minorities depicted as heroes and stake an arbitrary goalpost to justify shitting all over the character. Your issue isn't that it's a character whose identity is reduced to a minority, it's that the character is a minority in the first place.
i dont care about that, thats how the game was when i bought it
its this faggot shit being shoehorned in later that i dont like, hows that hard to understand?
>What if we make the COLOMBIAN girl a criminal
Why I am retarded the VA is Colombian
It's the equivalent of drawing a girl and saying it's male.
Trying to score browny points like this is fucking obnoxious.
Did you ignore the part where I said
>Which is a stupid complaint because expecting deep characters in a multiplayer oriented FPS is foolish since the primary focus is gameplay, but you don't need to strawman him to call him a retard.
I wasn't agreeing with OP in the slightest. I will assume you misread/didn't read all of my post.
>Rather it's that people shit themselves about how it's some big deal that this particular character is autistic or gay or whatever other label, but instead of them having those labels because a meaningful story weaves it in, they have those labels because someone at Blizzard just said "oh yeah, also she's autistic."
Yeah. Just throwing on labels and creating token characters is just a way to pander and get cash while also taking away from what significance the labels have. When the labels add absolutely nothing, they are just distractions.
i bet it would really suck to live in an inner city
>hey man, take that back, I'm homophobic, not racist! get it right!
Pardon me, my mistake.
>Australia
>white
They're white/Abbo hybrids.
Sup Forums and Tumblr are two sides of the same autistic coin.
>Teddy Roosevelt. JFK.
Ruined America.
>Most leaders of any form in Europe between the 1400s and 1950s
Nationalism is a populist idea from the 18th century. Kings and feudal lords weren't nationalists.
>many of the revolutionaries in Latin America, from Che to Pinochet, were nationalists
Agreed.
>Most leaders of any form in Europe between the 1400s and 1950s.
Yeah and life was so nice back then. Boo evil EU and NATO. Boo those things that made life worse.
>"Yep. Nationalists have a bad track record".
Yep. People die, get subjugated by other politicians, their economies become deeply flawed, the politicians get more and more brazen.
>I'd argue many of the revolutionaries in Latin America, from Che to Pinochet, were nationalists
Yeah now nationalism sounds even more enticing.
Let's not forget that Sup Forums autism isn't the same as literal autism.
Besides, the game already has a character that would fit in here.
>"yeah i dunno being gay or black or whatever shouldn't be important to the story of a game"
>"WHY THE FUCK ISN'T THIS CHARACTER'S GAYNESS IMPORTANT TO THE STORY! IT'S JUST A LABEL YOU SLAPPED ON! REEEEEEE"
I know Sup Forums isn't one person but jesus fuck I'm tired of this.
>he expects mainstream games not to try and appeal to mainstream gamers
>I know Sup Forums isn't one person
Put their social graces and IQ all together and you almost have a decent citizen that deserves free speech and votes.
except Sup Forums users have much more vidya buying power and tumblr doesnt really actually care about video games at all beyond controlling them
The White Australian Male is a denizen of a Mad Max reality. He's not even really a criminal according to his way of living.
Also, she doesn't have autism. She has OCD. It's made very clearly she has OCD. OCD=/=Autsim.
Fucking retards.
Or maybe SJWs are more prone to create games? Or entertainment in general?
They didn't need to mention it at all.
>Sup Forums users have much more vidya buying power
Children and NEETs don't have jobs, mate.
