we've done it again folks

[afukinrat]

I feel like Overwatch just seemed like it was inclusive because it was the best we had at the time and because it was idolized being a Blizzard product, as well as having appealing characters. And in many ways the characters are still the most interesting part of the series! It’s just so abundantly clear they are NOT the driving force of representation in any way. The development for the game is such a shit show nowadays, and the lead devs know it. At this point it’s just about making profit to save it in general. Which is unfortunate. Because if they could keep their ship sailing for more than five minutes it COULD be something great! They could make great representation and focus on said characters! That people could love, still do! But instead it’s just a mess for others to learn from.

why did overwatch get so much credit for its "LGBT diversity?"

it revealed a character was a lesbian long after the game was released, on TWITTER and then in a comic.

and then it revealed another character as gay THREE YEARS LATER.

and just LAST YEAR, FOUR YEARS LATER.

it revealed lesbian, bisexual, and pansexual characters who already existed in the game, making them queer long after they were initially released.

the game that should get fucking credit for LGBT diversity is Apex Legends.

those motherfuckers had their gay character front and center with a boyfriend as part of his damn backstory. right off the bat too, no pussyfooting around.

it also has two different pansexual characters, both of whom are male, one bisexual, a lesbian, and two characters who are confirmed queer but do not have an official label yet.

oh.

and that's right.

one nonbinary character who was ALSO there from the fucking start, and is currently in a happy relationship with one of the pansexual characters, and a trans woman.

neither of which are in overwatch 2 yet, i might fucking add.

maybe overwatch 3, huh?

"Yeah, I loved those old characters. Did you ever see Foxy the Pirate? He was always my favorite."

Man Saw really is just a series of people consistently trying to one up each other huh?

[afukinrat]

Do you think sometimes Mauga would act like the big himbo people think he is just so that he’d have an excuse for Baptiste to talk/ramble about something to him. Like sorry beautiful doctor man I do not understand your healing gun I’m just a big dumb himbo please explain it to me I promise I’ll be so normal about it.
