Remember the urban legend about the SCV in StarCraft being black?

Joshua Davis
I know right.
For a game that glorifies itself on being diverse, the designs of the characters are fundamentally safe and corporatised, easy to make figurines of and sell melodramatic back stories to consumers.

i always thought the scvs were mexicans or at least mixed indian something

To be progressive with your characters you just need to cater to the right people.
Focus on buzzwords and shipping and you get the tumblr audience. You get the tumblr audience and suddenly that means your game is progressive.

>Koreans are supposed to be the Autism Kings >The very first FPS they play en masse at a competitive level is Overwatch, the most shallow FPS on the market today I thought they were supposed to be hardcore, but here they are playing babby shit.

>i-its not modern enough for me So this is the current state of Overbabbies. I guess this is the best defense you can come up with for this game that even the pros that play it admit that the only reason the play it because Blizzard dumps a huge stack of cash on trying to push the esports meme in an extremely casual game with shit balance.
Nolan Flores
nationalities, not race. its an old game design tradition dating back to punch out, or street fighter 2. generally, because everything's fair game, and its based on cultural stereotypes, not biological ones, its acceptable.
not that overwatch gets away with it without complaint.
Jaxson Nelson
>Overwatch >Depth
It's a fun game but it's a puddle compared to TF2.
John Reyes
>>Swedish character likes constructing things >>Russian character is cheeki breeki big lesbian >>Chinese character builds walls
When was faggotry a russian sterotype, constructing a swedish sterotype or wall building a chinese sterotype? The only one I can even graps is the last due to the great wall and that's like sterotyping brits as building clocks because of big ben

CSGO is boring m8, it's literally just muh Cawadooty. Overwatch has 26 different classes and a different playstyle for every single one of them.
>26 classes vs. 9 find me a character in TF2 with more depth and higher skill curve than Lucio
>what is ikea >russian women snusnu meme >what is the great wall of china
i didn't want to spoonfeed you but here i am
Nolan Adams
Because when you want mass appeal you have to go for bright, simple color palettes, good silhouettes, and stereotypes.

Zarya is right, as soon as a God AI wakes up all those friendly Omnic neighbors in Nubani and other multicultural areas will get hacked and go murderbot and kill all humans.

He's not African, he was born and raised on the moon. So he has no nationality really.

actually yes, if the character said "oi it's bing bong o clock" like mei says "冰强升起来吧"
Jason Thomas

Liam King

Gavin Foster
I really don't understand the stereotype of russian women considering they're the best looking and more feminine in the world.
Matthew Torres
they're actually super progressive you will never get something like pic related if the game was actually racist

My favorite part is that Sup Forumstards still hate it because non-whites were included at all.

Basically everything that people play today has more depth then OW. Even the casual as fuck Nintendo game Splatoon remove some of your special move charge as a penalty for dying unlike OW.

I will absolutely follow the robots when they rise up irl. Machines are great it's usually the user that fucks things up.
Joseph Smith
Just part of the same stereotypes as the rest of the cast. All of the dark skinned characters are criminals too.
Zachary Ward
Pharah is the embodiment of justice and being hot.
Christian Jackson
Context. It's the same way Capcom gets away with Street Fighter. Some people do complain. But it's always been clear that Blizz and Cap have approached their characters' nationalities and ethnicity with the idea of celebrating them. And using them as jumping off points to create a character from.
It also helps that both games exist with large casts, meaning the individual characters don't get as much spotlight time.
Meanwhile most of Sup Forums thinks it's the pinnacle of humor to say nigger. Bring back roody-poo, I say.
