Black fans of Overwatch: hey, blizzard… can we maybe… have some more… black characters?
Overwatch community, including Jeff: shut up blackies don’t you have Orisa and Winston already?
1. This is a racist generalization; the vast majority of “black” fans of Overwatch don’t snivel and whine about the race of fictional characters. And, for those who do:
2. Their unquenchable ‘representation fetish’ is not Blizzard’s responsibility to satisfy.
Lucio, Anna, Doomfist, Pharah.
I’d say OP doesn’t play overwatch, but I don’t either and I know these characters exist.
And I’d say you’re a dumbass
>#ana and phrarah don’t count as black characters btw
Why? Because you say so? Despite the fact that they have features common with Nubian people, who are genetically Afro-asiatic?
Or are you gonna repeat that stupid colorist “they’re light-skinned so it doesn’t count” chestnut?
It doesn’t really matter, because giving so much of a shit about the racial composition of a video game is fucking stupid.
They’re egyptian, not the same thing as black just because Egypt is in Africa. Which Nubian features do they have?????
It’s pretty easy to tell if you aren’t an idiot.
Why don’t you tell me how Pharah and Ana don’t count besides “they just don’t” because if Nubians aren’t black then you’re saying most of Northern Africa isn’t either, because they have the same genetic ancestry.
At this point I’m ready to ask what you consider “black” because not every black person has to be from the Bantu or Niger-congo region.
I really can’t believe I have to argue about demographics with you people.
“With you people” lmao the racism is starting to jump out. You are right though, a lot of North Africans are not black. This isn’t to say these countries don’t have black people in them though. A good majority of Egyptians are Arabic. Not the same thing as black. Regarding northern African countries… Again the majority of the people in Morocco, Tunisia, Algeria, Libya, and Egypt are Arabs. Not the same thing as black. And to reiterate, this doesn’t mean there aren’t black people in these countries. But to say “they’re from Egypt, so they’re black” isn’t enough to qualify them as black.
>thinking I meant black people when I said “you people”
Lmao no, I meant people who think complaining about the racial makeup of a video game is real activism, who come in all racial groups. Nice try though.
This is straight up the dumbest shit ive ever read. OP. Is just mad that there is no black character from America that they can bitch and moan about. It’d be kinda funny if it wasnt sad
can we maybe…
