Some thoughts that come up with every new OW update in regards of the fanbase’s reactions. Under cut cus it’s a lil bit long.

What people don’t take in consideration when it comes to expecting “representation” in Overwatch is that they can’t be pandering around just one side of the fanbase the whole time. They have a huge audience to attend to. A lot of work to do.

Do they want a well written character? Or a moneymaking bad caricature of what they were supposedly asking for? The people at Blizzard already trying (emphasis on “trying”) their best to do something about it yet there’s these lots of entitled people acting like they have authority over the game to order the people at Blizzard what they should or shouldn’t do.

Besides while you're playing, you don’t have time to watch your character or the characters around because everyone is too busy shooting eachother. Tracer being gay does not affect her playability. Doomfist being black doesn’t give him extra points in the game. Race, gender, and sexual orientation are things people keep treating as collectibles. We’re not puppies in a kennel.

People should let them come instead of pressuring the people working in the game. I see the people behind the art, designs, voices, excitedly sharing what they worked so hard on, just to have angry fans throwing stones so harshly at them because it wasn’t what they expected.

AND YET even when people at Blizzard make an attempt to bring representation, there’s those that spring out to say how racist or how bad it is!

Have The Chinese New Year events as an example. People said Zenyatta’s skin was racist since people didn’t know he was actually representing a character in the popular Chinese novel Journey to the West. THEN they said McCree’s skin was also racist although it is a real military uniform from the Joseon Dynasty. Of course at first glance one wouldn’t know, but with a bit of research you learn something new. The people at Blizzard do their research better than anyone around here.

Still, everyone is setting the bar way too high up for Blizzard, yet people who had already been customers from the beginning have knowledge and experience that their lore planning and writing isn’t all that good, with things that don’t make sense or plot holes, idk but from what I’ve heard, it’s not the worst, but not the greatest either.

And a plus, people don’t know how to give feedback without sounding like Dudley Dursley screaming at his parents that they got the wrong number of Christmas presents as he demanded.

Everyone was super thrilled when we had four new poc heroes in a row, three of which are female, and yet another female character. But then the hamster showed up and all of a sudden it’s all Jeff’s fault that we’re underrepresented. What the hell, man.

Blizzard is not a perfect company, and I admit they got their mess ups (like them using pictures of Italy as reference to create the Mexican city of Dorado, I still haven’t gotten over that lmao). But at least they’re trying, I’ll give them that.

#overwatch #I GOT MAD #every time is the same #uh long post #the more people complain #the more I enjoy playing this out of pure spite

I needed to write this for myself and nobody else.

I read an article about how to get over an ex and it said you need to remember all the things their new partner gets to deal with now instead of you. So here’s a list of things that I’m never going to miss about you when I was your girlfriend.

1. The way you never wanted to give up drugs or alcohol for me.

2. The way you made me feel so special but yet still told me you had a habit of attracting the “crazies”

3. The way you made me pay for dates because you weren’t working

4. The way I wasn’t ever allowed at your house.

5. The way I was so scared of your mom disapproving of me, and when she met me - she hated me.
